Episode 17 recap: Xia Guo's mother passed away.
Xia Guo's mother passed away.When Yu Jian returned home, he asked Xia Guo to focus on finding a job while entrusting the household and children to the care of the aunt. Xia Guo was deeply touched, as she felt fortunate to be understood by someone. However, finding a reliable aunt for the household proved to be somewhat unreliable.
Within a few days, they had already changed several aunts. Yu Jian suggested that Xia Guo's mother could take care of the children, but Xia Guo didn't want that. The reason she didn't go to her mother-in-law's house was because she didn't want to trouble the elderly, especially since Yu Jian's mother was already taking care of Yu Jian's father. Yu Jian thought that Xia Guo was still angry about the childbirth and felt that everyone had neglected her. However, Xia Guo didn't mean it that way. The two of them had different opinions and got into an argument. At that moment, the child fell off the bed, and in the middle of the night, they hurriedly took the child to the hospital for examination. Fortunately, the child was not seriously injured.
Yu Jian's mother called Yu Jian and heard the urgent voice of a nurse on the other end of the line. She wanted to go to the hospital but was stopped by Yu Jian. Xia Guo watched Yu Jian as he took the call and tried to soothe her mother's emotions. She felt a bit sad. The next day, Xia Guo went out for an interview, and Yu Jian's mother came to their house to look after the child. Just as she arrived, she was called away by someone. When Xia Guo returned home, she saw her mother-in-law at home, taking care of the child and cleaning the house, urging her to take a break.
Yu Jian's mother noticed that Xia Guo seemed weak and unenergetic. When she touched her, she realized that Xia Guo had a high fever. She quickly prepared ginger water for Xia Guo. In Shanghai, Xia Guo was promoted to the position of Marketing Department Director by the chairman. As for Xue Zong (Mr. Xue), he went to Singapore not to attend a summit, but for an interview. After the interview, he also received an offer, but he needed to start as soon as possible. However, Mr. Xue was not ready yet because he hadn't told Xia Guo.
In the evening, they had dinner together, and Xia Guo mentioned her promotion. Mr. Xue had initially planned to come clean about his situation but ultimately didn't say anything. When they returned home, Xia Guo saw the acceptance letter from the Singapore company on the computer. Instead of getting angry, Xia Guo felt sorry because it was because of her that Mr. Xue had resigned and now had to go to Singapore.
Xia Guo decided to go to Singapore with Mr. Xue, but he hesitated. Xia Guo didn't want Mr. Xue to give up his own dreams, especially since she had just been promoted.
The reason Mr. Xue didn't dare to tell Xia Guo was because he was afraid she would make impulsive decisions. But in Xia Guo's eyes, it seemed like Mr. Xue was trying to escape because he didn't want to get married.
As a result, they had an argument. Xia Guo was very disappointed in Mr. Xue, and he didn't expect that Xia Guo wasn't the same person who was once wholeheartedly focused on her career. She was now considering giving up her career because of their relationship. Mr. Xue bought the ring that Xia Guo used to like and went to find her. However, he didn't expect Xia Guo wasn't at home, and he couldn't reach her on the phone. At that moment, Xia Guo was standing at Mr. Xue's doorstep, and they missed each other like that.
In Leshan, they also faced separation, but it was Xia Guo and her mother. Wang Yan had been hiding her illness from Xia Guo and refused to have surgery until her body couldn't take it anymore. Xia Guo received the news from her stepfather. She rushed to the hospital to accompany her mother and visited her every day.
Yu Jian's mother took care of the child every day at home, and Xia Guo couldn't bear it. So she decided to move back to her mother-in-law's house. Wang Yan passed away, and Xia Guo was deeply saddened. In the parallel timeline, Wang Yan also passed away. Xia Guo returned from Shanghai to Leshan and looked at her mother's ashes and the salary card she left behind. Before her passing, her mother had already transferred the house into Xia Guo's name.
This is probably what a mother does—always striving to leave a way out for her children.
