Episode 11 recap: Yu Yong imitates Lu Yuan Zheng and loses money.
Yu Yong's wife dislikes Yu Jiao living in their home and wishes to drive her out, but she cannot say anything due to the presence of the patriarch. When Yu Yong hears his wife say that selling sponge cake shoes can bring in a lot of money, he wants to boldly try it out and imitate Lu Yuan Zheng. Yu Jiao helps Lu Yuan Zheng sell shoes, and Liu Guofu feels like he's eating dog food, so he asks Shen Qiuhuan, who is nearby, to help him sell shoes as well.
While setting up a stall, someone comes to threaten them, but Lu Yuan Zheng and the others don't take this small-time person seriously and quickly sell almost all the remaining shoes. During dinner, Liu Guofu feels that this business opportunity still needs to be seized. When discussing ordering a few more pairs of shoes, Lu Yuan Zheng tells Liu Guofu that it's no longer necessary, as sponge cake shoes are no longer as profitable. Transportation costs have increased, and prices may even drop.
Yu Yong's wife sees people on the street wearing sponge cake shoes and thinks that if she seizes the opportunity now, she might make a lot of money. She wants to invest all her assets into it. Lu Yuan Zheng is very grateful to Yu Jiao for coming to help him sell shoes and says that he will give all the money to her in the future. Yu Jiao says her father asked her to get married before the New Year, and she has already eloped once, so she cannot let her father suffer another blow.
Lu Yuan Zheng feels very uneasy and can't help but drink all the wine in his cup. He returns home and sees Liu Guofu sleeping soundly, but he can't sleep at all. Yu Yong and his wife secretly take out the more than 30,000 yuan left by their father and use it to buy sponge cake shoes.
