Episode 5 recap: Xu Meng An discovered that she is pregnant.
Yu Hai saw that Chen Wan Zhen seems to be serious this time. He tried to explain that he was just accompanying his colleague to look at the house, but Rome wasn't built in a day. Chen Wan Zhen had already accumulated enough disappointment and now had no interest in listening to Yu Hai's explanation, directly closing the door and shooing him away.
Xu Meng An had made plans to go camping and have a barbecue with her whole family, including her daughter. On the day, they found that her daughter had not brought the newly purchased tent and dining table, only having laid out a simple mat. The thoughtful daughter proposed playing a fun adventure game. Xu Meng An won the first two rounds, and seized the rare opportunity to ask her daughter about her relationship with the boy from her class who had confessed his feelings. The daughter immediately explained that her recent exam mistake was due to a lack of diligent study, and had nothing to do with early romance.
Finally, it was the daughter's turn to win. She then directly asked her father if he had lost his job, having heard that her mother was planning to sell the car as well. Li Yun Jie, the daughter, agreed to cut household expenses, but did not agree with her mother selling the car, as a mode of transportation is also a sign of family well-being. Moreover, the proud mother without a means of transportation would be quite embarrassing.
Xu Meng An has been busy with work lately and suddenly realized that she hasn't had her period for some time. Thinking about her recent work and life troubles, she angrily assumed she was going through early menopause. Back home, she kept searching for information about menopause. Seeing his wife's worried expression and symptoms of nausea and vomiting, the husband Li Lin thoughtfully went downstairs to the pharmacy to buy her stomach medicine and medication to improve stomach motility. The persuasive salesperson there also gave him an early pregnancy test.
In the early morning, Xu Meng An started feeling nauseous again. She took a pregnancy test and saw two lines, indicating she was indeed pregnant. Xu Meng An's eyes widened, and she went to the hospital that very day for a medical examination. On the machine, she could see the fetal heartbeat. The doctor said that getting pregnant at her age was extremely rare, and many people struggled to have a child even with IVF treatment. He advised her not to make any hasty decisions.
Sitting in the empty hospital corridor, Xu Meng An held the ultrasound report, troubled by the family's tight financial situation. She was finding it difficult to decide what to do.
Li Lin took his daughter Li Yun Jie to visit his mother-in-law, and Xu Meng Xin happened to be there as well. Li Lin normally likes to give Xu Meng Xin gifts, but this time she declined, saying that with the upcoming high school entrance exams, she no longer had time for piano lessons. Not only was she going to stop the piano lessons, but she was also going to give the piano to her aunt.
Unintentionally, Xu Meng Xin learned that Li Yun Jie had been selling some of the family's unused items online. She guessed that her sister's family must be facing difficulties, so she quietly asked her mother about the situation. This made the mother realize that she had recently seen Li Lin buying discounted groceries at the supermarket, and they might indeed be going through financial troubles.
