Episode 24 recap: Zhu Qun Ying left, leaving Lin Lin behind.
Lin Lin cried and begged Zhu Qun Ying not to leave, but Zhu Qun Ying said she would be back soon. Lin Yi Da watched Lin Lin cry and beg Qun Ying not to leave, but he had nothing to say. Zhu Qun Ying kneeled down in front of Liao Qing Qiu and Lin Han Min, telling them she was leaving Lin Lin in their care.
Lin Yi Da was also on the verge of tears in the corner. Qun Ying went to find Chen Qing and told her she had resigned from the factory. Chen Qing wondered why she would quit when things were going well, and Qun Ying said she was getting divorced from Lin Yi Da and was going back to her hometown in Sichuan.
Chen Xiao Ou came to find Pi Xia and asked if they were still good friends. Pi Xia assured her they were best friends. Chen Xiao Ou then asked if Pi Xia had something going on with Lin Yi Da, and Pi Xia admitted that she did. Chen Xiao Ou told her it was unethical since Lin Yi Da was a married man.
But Pi Xia felt that when you like someone, it doesn't matter if they are married or single. Qun Ying told Chen Qing that living for a man was the dumbest thing, as she had not known how to live for the past 10 years. Chen Qing understood and supported Qun Ying's decision.
Chen Xiao Ou felt Pi Xia had really taught her a lesson, being able to have an affair with a married man so shamelessly. She told Pi Xia to let it go, but Pi Xia said she had fallen too deep from the first day she saw Lin Yi Da.
Chen Xiao Ou went home and told Hu Gui Lan about this. Hu Gui Lan felt Chen Xiao Ou's sense of right and wrong was quite good. Chen Xiao Ou felt her mother was the best, and she didn't want to get married now, fearing she may meet a man like Lin Yi Da.
Zhu Qun Ying went home and started packing, as Liao Qing Qiu asked if she was sure about her decision. Qun Ying said she had already bought a train ticket for the next morning, and would come back to handle the divorce paperwork once Lin Yi Da signed.
Lin Han Min asked her if she had really made up her mind, and the determined Zhu Qun Ying said she had. Liao Qing Qiu asked her how she would arrange for Lin Lin after leaving, and Zhu Qun Ying said that Lin Lin was her only family member, and she would take Lin Lin with her. Liao Qing Qiu said she understood Zhu Qun Ying's decision, and she and Lin Han Min had prepared stationery and seasonal changes of clothes for Lin Lin.
Lin Han Min gave Zhu Qun Ying 10,000 yuan, and he and Liao Qing Qiu felt that this was the only thing they could do for Zhu Qun Ying. Lin Han Min went back to his room and started crying, and Zhu Qun Ying was about to return the money to him when she heard Lin Han Min and his wife crying in the room. Liao Qing Qiu knew that Lin Han Min was reluctant to part with Lin Lin, but as a mother herself, she could understand Zhu Qun Ying's feelings as a mother.
When Zhu Qun Ying heard this, she also went back to her room and cried. The next morning, Zhu Qun Ying kissed the sleeping Lin Lin. Lin Han Min was about to wake Lin Lin up, but Zhu Qun Ying told them to leave Lin Lin with them. She said that she had been in this family for ten years, and Liao Qing Qiu and Lin Han Min had always treated her as family, and she didn't know how to repay this kindness, so she would leave Lin Lin with them.
When Lin Lin woke up, he cried and begged Zhu Qun Ying not to leave, and Lin Yi Da, who was at the corner, must have felt awkward seeing this scene. Chen Ba came back home and said that his eyes felt uncomfortable and everything looked blurry, and Chen Xiao Ou quickly said that she would accompany him to the hospital. Lin Ping Ping called Chen Huan to tell him that she had been admitted to a postgraduate program, and Chen Huan was initially happy, but when he heard that she wouldn't be coming back for the time being, he became disappointed again.
Liao Qing Qiu told Lin Han Min that after Zhu Qun Ying left, Lin Lin cried every day, and she felt very distressed about it. She said let's talk about something happy, and told Lin Han Min that Lin Ping Ping had been admitted to a postgraduate program. Lin Han Min told her that it was easy to go out these days, but difficult to come back. He told Liao Qing Qiu that he had bought 10,000 yuan worth of stocks, and Liao Qing Qiu asked him what he was doing with so much money, saying it was useless. Lin Han Min felt that it wouldn't be, as it was a state-owned enterprise that valued its reputation. Three years later, Chen Huan had graduated with a doctorate, and Lin Lin asked Lin Han Min to call Zhu Qun Ying after dinner so that he could talk to his mother.
When Hu Gui Lan and Chen Xiao Ou came back after buying groceries, Pan Tao hurriedly called Hu Gui Lan away, telling her that her first husband was coming back, and she seemed to be expecting some trouble.
