Episode 19 recap: He Da Hai came out of the police station.
Lin Yi Da asked Hung Zhen Yuan whether the old clothes that He Da Hai was dealing in were the ones he had introduced to him. Hung Zhen Yuan said he had only introduced them, and felt he should help because he thought He Da Hai wanted to do a quick and profitable deal. Chen Huan asked He Da Hai if he still had the mood to drink, saying their family had worried so much about him.
Pang Sao and Geng San came to find He Da Hai, asking him to come out and repay the money. Chen Qing came out and said she was Da Hai's lover, asking him to come repay the money. Geng San said they had been playing cards that day when Da Hai rushed over saying he had an emergency and needed to borrow money. Chen Qing said that since he borrowed the money, he had to pay it back. Da Hai hadn't told her, she didn't know.
Hearing this, Geng San and Pang Sao started a big argument at the Chen family's place. Lin Ping Ping asked Pang Sao if they had a contract, and said if they did, to bring it out. Pang Sao couldn't produce the contract. Lin Ping Ping said the police station was looking for Da Hai's partners, and if not, they would call the police. Hearing this, the two quickly left, grumbling that the Chen family was unreasonable.
Zhu Qun Ying was preparing to withdraw money from her savings to lend to Chen Qing, and Lin Yi Da asked her what she was doing. After she explained, Lin Yi Da said it wasn't easy to save money, but if she wanted to lend it, go ahead. He told her he could handle Da Hai's issue, and told her to put the passbook back.
Lin Yi Da went to find Hung Zhen Yuan, asking if he had introduced the old clothes that Da Hai was dealing in. Hung Zhen Yuan said he had only helped introduce them. Lin Yi Da asked if he knew Da Hai was in trouble. Hung Zhen Yuan said he didn't expect this to happen, and Lin Yi Da said Da Hai maybe just had bad luck, asking if Hung could also help.
Hung Zhen Yuan said he was powerless to help, and Lin Yi Da asked if he was abandoning Da Hai. Hung Zhen Yuan said he would introduce Da Hai to a legitimate business to help him earn back the money. Lin Yi Da told him distant water can't quench a nearby fire, and said if Da Hai hadn't helped introduce Hung's business before, they wouldn't have this relationship now.
Lin Yi Da then said Hung should contribute half to help Da Hai, but Hung said he was tight on funds himself and could only contribute a quarter.
Lin Yi Da also took a step back and agreed, and Hong Zhen Yuan said he would get the money to him as soon as possible. Lin Yi Da asked what it was for, and Hong Zhen Yuan said he didn't trust giving it to Liang Zi either.
He Da Hai was released, and Chen Huan asked him if he still had the heart to drink. He knew how much this whole family had worried about him. Chen Huan said he had warned him before, and this matter shouldn't have been done, but he still did it. Da Hai told him to stop, but Chen Huan said he still had a point to make. The two started arguing, and Da Hai said he didn't want to get in trouble, but he did it for someone else.
As they were talking, a noise came from outside - Hu Gui Lan had fallen down. Da Hai quickly knelt down and apologized to Hu Gui Lan. Chen Qing told Da Hai not to associate with Liang Zi anymore, as he hadn't come around much during the recent trouble. Chen Qing told him that Geng San and Pang Sao had been causing a commotion at their home, and Da Hai said he would go reason with them tomorrow.
Chen Qing told him not to cause more trouble, as they weren't those kind of people, and since they owed them money, they should just pay it back. Chen Qing said Lin Yi Da had asked Hong Zhen Yuan for 30,000, and the Chen family had also raised 10,000 for them. Da Hai asked Chen Qing to return the money, as he didn't want to use their money, but Chen Qing said they had no choice but to use it.
Da Hai went to get the clock at the door, and when he opened it, there was still 50,000 inside. He told Chen Qing he had felt he couldn't put it all in at once, so he left half. Da Hai didn't want to use the family's money, so he offered his stall as collateral to Pang Sao and Geng San. Chen Qing asked what he would have left then.
Da Hai told Chen Qing he didn't want to do it anymore, and Chen Qing said he would listen to him. Chen Qing told Da Hai that money doesn't matter, as long as he's safe, which is more important than anything. Jing Man asked Lin Ping Ping about her plans to go abroad, and Lin Ping Ping said she couldn't leave.
Jing Man encouraged her to try harder, saying she must have connections at the TV station, but Lin Ping Ping said she did, but they were gone. She explained the reason to Jing Man, who felt she must have been replaced. Liao Jingqiu also wanted to help Da Hai, so she gave her 2,000 yuan writing fee to Hu Gui Lan.
