Episode 2 recap: Encountering Obstacles in House Exchange.
Zhang Shan Ya quickly called her mother-in-law and they arranged to meet in an hour. Faced with her mother-in-law's accusations, Wu Yu Lan, Gu Mo Li's mother, seemed indifferent. She argued that initially they were willing to contribute money to buy a bigger house for the children, but it was the Zhu family who refused. Now, it's no wonder that their daughter and son-in-law wanted to rent a place outside to live together.
Zhang Shan Ya's objective was not achieved, and she had to endure a bunch of insights from Wu Yu Lan, which was quite frustrating. Huang Qian Niu made a living through livestreaming, but things weren't going well, and they were struggling to make ends meet. They flipped a coin and Huang Qian Niu decided to ask their older brother for help, but unexpectedly, their second brother, Zhu Jing Cao, was also involved.
Zhu Jing Cao wanted to ask Wang Ling Xiao, who was a senior analyst, to persuade his own mother and make her understand the benefits of moving to a bigger house. However, Wang Ling Xiao was unwilling to do so. Huang Qian Niu overheard the conversation and expressed their willingness to persuade their second aunt when they heard about the benefits.
Zhu Jing Cao didn't know why this cousin, who had achieved nothing, intervened, but Huang Qian Niu confidently promised to make their second aunt believe. Gu Mo Li returned home and discussed the matter of buying a house with her parents. Wu Yu Lan was willing to contribute money to buy a house, but she firmly refused to co-purchase it with the Zhu family. Therefore, the property deed could only be written in their daughter's name.
No matter what Gu Mo Li said, her mother refused to agree to the joint purchase. Gu Mo Li left in anger without even having dinner. When the daughter left, the father criticized his wife for getting into an argument with their child, but Wu Yu Lan immediately refuted him. Meanwhile, Huang Qian Niu persuaded Zhang Shan Ya to go and look at houses, emphasizing Zhu Jing Cao's filial piety along the way.
Zhang Shan Ya felt touched by what she heard, and Huang Qian Niu took the opportunity to suggest that Zhu Jing Cao should also buy a property so that they could bring their uncle-in-law over and have three generations living together harmoniously. Huang Qian Niu tried to convince Zhang Shan Ya to leave her name and contact information on the property, but Zhang Shan Ya suddenly noticed Gu Mo Li's name and realized that her daughter-in-law had also visited the property, leading her to suspect that she was being deceived.
Zhu Jing Cao, who was at work, received a phone call and hurriedly came down. Huang Qian Niu messed things up, but Zhu Jing Cao said that they still deserved credit for their efforts, so he asked if they could have a free meal at their place. Zhang Shan Ya confiscated her son's ID card because she was worried that he would sell the house without her consent.
Luckily, Gu Mo Li became one of the first customers to choose a property, but she needed to prepare a down payment of three million yuan. Zhu Jing Cao applied for a housing loan of 500,000 yuan from the company, but it was rejected because he already owned a property in his name. At this point, Gu's father called him and had an open and frank conversation. Zhu Jing Cao understood their intentions, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had already prepared an agreement and were waiting for him to agree and sign it.
Although Gu's parents had smiles on their faces and were polite and tactful, Zhu Jing Cao still felt uncomfortable deep down. However, he signed the commitment letter. Soon after, Wu Yu Lan transferred 2.6 million yuan to her daughter. Gu Mo Li happily shared the news with Zhu Jing Cao that evening, but he didn't seem very happy. Later, when he went to the bathroom, Gu Mo Li unintentionally discovered the voluntary relinquishment agreement for the property on his computer.
The next day, Gu Mo Li confronted her parents and explained that Zhu Jing Cao hadn't said anything and that she had discovered it on her own. Zhu Jing Cao's father, Zhu Da Li, upon learning that his son wanted to sell the house, immediately came to Shanghai, and a silent war without gunpowder was about to begin.
