Episode 4 recap: Li Yi Jin and Tao Shu Na started living together as roommates.
Meng Yi An wanted to send Qiu Qiu to a private school, but Qiu Xia refused and declined to attend the school's open house event arranged by Meng Yi An. The school required both parents to attend the open house, so Meng Yi An had Qiu Qiu make a phone call to deceive Qiu Xia into coming.
When Qiu Xia found out she was deceived, she firmly refused to go to the school until Qiu Qiu expressed her liking for the school, which made Qiu Xia decide to take a look. Upon learning that the private school offered boarding starting from elementary school, Qiu Xia couldn't accept it and confronted Meng Yi An, wanting to take Qiu Qiu away directly.
Meng Yi An and Qiu Xia argued over the school matter. Meng Yi An explained that she chose the school for Qiu Qiu's future, while Qiu Xia believed that Meng Yi An chose the boarding school for her own convenience in starting a business and strongly disagreed.
Both Qiu Xia and Meng Yi An had their own opinions, and their argument escalated. In the heat of the argument, Qiu Xia accidentally knocked Meng Yi An's bag to the ground, which Qiu Qiu happened to witness. Qiu Qiu misunderstood that Qiu Xia and Meng Yi An were fighting because of her schooling, and she expressed that she could forgo attending that school and would follow her parents' arrangements, pleading with them not to argue. This deeply saddened Meng Yi An and Qiu Xia.
Li Cheng Zhi called Li Yi Jin and mentioned that Li Yi Jin had grown up and should contribute financially to the family. He requested that Li Yi Jin give them a monthly allowance of 1,500 yuan. Li Yi Jin agreed to Li Cheng Zhi's request. Despite her own difficult circumstances, she had to work even harder. However, the next day at work, her manager informed her that Meng Ming Wei had called to resign on her behalf, which was unacceptable to her.
Li Yi Jin called Meng Ming Wei to question her and blamed her for affecting her job. However, Meng Ming Wei took the stance that Li Yi Jin didn't listen to her arrangements, resulting in failure in both work and life, completely disregarding Li Yi Jin's opinion.
Feeling particularly heartbroken, Li Yi Jin received a call from Tao Shu Na, who couldn't find a more suitable place to rent. Tao Shu Na inquired about sharing a place with Li Yi Jin. Li Yi Jin changed her mind and agreed to share with Tao Shu Na. Meng Yi An helped Li Yi Jin and Tao Shu Na move, while Tao Shu Na, unaware of the situation, asked Qiu Xia to help her move.
Meng Yi An was surprised to see Qiu Xia but didn't want Qiu Qiu to be unhappy. So she told Qiu Xia that she had already agreed to let Qiu Qiu go to the public school that Qiu Xia approved of. While sorting things out, Li Yi Jin received a call from her friend Zhou Dao, who informed her that he had been laid off and couldn't be reached.
Li Yi Jin felt concerned about Zhou Dao, so after Meng Yi An left, she went directly to find Zhou Dao. Tao Shu Na felt that there was an issue between Meng Yi An and Qiu Xia and wanted to discuss it with Li Yi Jin, but Li Yi Jin was in a hurry and didn't have the opportunity to talk.
Li Yi Jin met with Zhou Dao, learned about his situation, and then called Meng Yi An, asking for her help in finding a job for Zhou Dao. After settling into the new place, Tao Shu Na informed Meng Wan Qing about the shared living arrangement, and Meng Ming Wei called to check on Li Yi Jin and inspect her new rented house.
Li Yi Jin didn't want Meng Ming Wei to know about her living with Tao Shu Na. Unfortunately, Tao Shu Na ran out to use the restroom, almost entering the frame of the camera, so Li Yi Jin had to abruptly end the phone call.
Li Yi Jin and Tao Shu Na have different schedules, and Meng Ming Wei has been constantly messaging Li Yi Jin, which woke up the sleeping Tao Shu Na and made her very unhappy.
In a hurry to leave for work, Li Yi Jin saw Tao Shu Na's shoes scattered around, occupying the entire cabinet. She got angry and threw Tao Shu Na's messy boots outside the door. Tao Shu Na was upset about her shoes being thrown and also because Li Yi Jin liked to collect bottles and insisted on keeping things neat and tidy.
Li Yi Jin called Zhao Yuan and complained about the chaotic life with Tao Shu Na on the phone, but unexpectedly, their manager, Cui Bao Hui, overheard the conversation. Concerned that Zhao Yuan might say something unfavorable about him, Cui Bao Hui approached Li Yi Jin to inquire if Zhao Yuan had said anything.
Cui Bao Hui encouraged Li Yi Jin, praising her for doing an excellent job on the Little Raspberry project, and urged her to continue doing well. Li Yi Jin went to meet with Manager Yao to discuss the collaboration with Little Raspberry, but Manager Yao was on a business trip, so she couldn't meet him.
Li Cheng Zhi, lacking money for stock trading, secretly took Qiao Hai Yun's retirement funds that Meng Ming Wei had kept. Meng Ming Wei wanted to get the money back, but Li Cheng Zhi remained silent and didn't let Meng Ming Wei interfere, leaving her helpless. With no money to buy groceries, Meng Ming Wei lied about feeling unwell and cooked some vegetarian dishes for Qiao Hai Yun.
Qiao Hai Yun realized that Meng Ming Wei was out of money and wanted to give her some, but Meng Ming Wei felt embarrassed and refused to accept the money. Meng Wan Qing returned home with hairtail fish for dinner, and Qiao Hai Yun asked her to cook instead of troubling Meng Ming Wei, urging Meng Ming Wei to go inside and take the money.
After Meng Wan Qing and Qiao Hai Yun inquired about the situation, they learned that it was a matter of money. Meng Wan Qing taught Qiao Hai Yun how to transfer money to Meng Ming Wei using WeChat and decided to send her 1,000 yuan as well. Meng Ming Wei accepted the money reluctantly, unable to refund it, and felt apologetic, so she immediately started cooking the hairtail fish.
Tao Shu Na called Meng Wan Qing to discuss the shared living arrangement and asked her not to tell Meng Ming Wei. Meng Wan Qing almost slipped up but managed to secretly step outside to take the call.
Due to Tao Shu Na not properly handling the water in the bathroom after taking a shower, Li Yi Jin slipped and fell. Li Yi Jin went to give Tao Shu Na a reminder but unexpectedly overheard her conversation. Tao Shu Na couldn't hide it from Meng Wan Qing, so she had to explain everything to Li Yi Jin and promised to keep it a secret for her.
