Episode 26 recap: Lin Ping Ping has returned to the country to handle some matters.
Chen Huan asked how things were going on the Da Hai company side, and Da Hai said they were doing audits, but he had run into some people from the procuratorate. Liao Jing Qiu asked Lin Han Min what they were going to do now, and Lin Han Min just said let him fix the mess he made himself. Lin Yi Da and Pi Xia came to Hainan, and Pi Xia thinks he can make some money before going back.
Chen's father brought his apprentice Xiao Ma to the renovation theater, and Xiao Ma said he thought it was a warehouse. Chen's father asked if he liked it, and Xiao Ma told him he was wrong, but Chen's father said it's okay, just fix the mistakes. He told Xiao Ma that this setback was not light, and he really needs to correct it properly. Xiao Ma felt he had acted impulsively and screened an adult film.
Chen's father told him not to be so polite, and Xiao Ma asked what this was about. Chen's father said that although he was reluctant to part with the theater, he had to leave. Chen Qing knew Hu Gui Lan was on night shift tonight, and Hu Gui Lan asked Chen Qing to go to the market with her, afraid the fish would not be fresh if she went too late.
As they were talking, they heard someone call out "Pan Tao", and Hu Gui Lan thought it was Pan Tao's first husband who had returned. She asked Chen Qing to come see with her, but Chen Qing didn't want to.
Pan Tao's first husband Wu Wen-yi looked at the woman in front of him and asked if she was Pan Tao. Pan Tao said it was her, and she recognized him immediately. Pan Tao said she had been guarding this courtyard for him, and Wu Wen-yi apologized to Pan Tao. He introduced his son Wu Nian-bei, and Pan Tao introduced Liang Zi.
Chen Qing told Hu Gui Lan that a lot of Taiwan people have been coming to the mainland to look for relatives lately, so Pan Tao must have registered her information, which is why Wu Wen-yi found her. Wu Nian-bei said he would wait outside for his father, so he and Pan Tao could talk. Wu Wen-yi said 40 years had flown by. He saw that Pan Tao was doing well and had a good son, so he felt relieved. He asked about Liang Zi's father, and Pan Tao said he had passed away. After Wu Wen-yi left initially, Pan Tao had waited for him in this small courtyard for over a year, but the neighbors eventually told her to stop waiting as he was not coming back.
Later, she married Liang Zi's father, who was a driver and passed away on a long-distance trip. Pan Tao said that it's good that Wu Wenyi left this courtyard for her, and she raised Liang Zi in this courtyard. If she didn't have this courtyard, she doesn't know what she would have done. Pan Tao asked Wu Wenyi if he came back this time wanting to take back the courtyard. If so, she would let him have it. Wu Wenyi told her that he came back this time just to apologize to her, to express his regret for all these years.
He told Pan Tao that the courtyard belongs to her, and no one can take it away. He then invited Pan Tao and Liang Zi to have dinner together tomorrow. Ping Ping brought gifts for the Chen family people - a bag for Chen Xiao Ou and a lipstick for Chen Qing, and they were all very happy.
Chen Huan asked how Da Hai company was doing, and Da Hai said it was his first time meeting with the procuratorate. Liao Qingqiu asked Lin Han Min what to do, and Lin Han Min said that Lin Yi Da got himself into the mess, so he has to fix it himself. While they were talking in the living room, Zhu Qunying who was cooking in the kitchen overheard them.
Liao Qingqiu said if they could help Lin Yi Da pay the money, it would be good. Lin Han Min asked her if she thought it's that simple - just pay the money. He felt Liao Qingqiu was oversimplifying the problem. Liao Qingqiu then said Lin Han Min should sell his stocks. Lin Han Min told her not to think about it, as Lin Yi Da got into this trouble, and outside people are saying he took bribes.
Qunying then said she would talk to her business partner, as she had also saved some money over the years. Lin Yi Da called home, asking Lin Han Min to help him pay the taxes. Lin Han Min told him to come back, but Lin Yi Da said he couldn't come back recently.
Just as Liao Qingqiu was about to speak, Lin Yi Da hung up the phone. As Lin Yi Da was about to have dinner at a restaurant, Pi Xia came. Lin Yi Da asked her why she was following him, and Pi Xia said he couldn't shake her off. Qunying asked how Lin Lin's soccer practice went, and as they were talking, Chen Qing called out to them from behind.
Qunying told Lin Lin to go upstairs first, and she told Chen Qing that she needed to go back to her hometown to handle some things, but she promised Lin Lin to stay a few more days. Pi Xia asked Lin Yi Da to buy some land in Hainan, and Da Hai also went to Hainan.
