Episode 6 recap: Gu Xiao Meng's public lecture was a success.
Gu Xiao Meng's public lecture began, and the students performed "The Old Man and the Sea" brilliantly. However, Gu Xiao Meng did not want to teach the text that had already been studied in the lecture, but instead gave a speech and analysis specifically about the incident she had been reported for. She believed that what seemed useless could actually be very useful. The reason she was reported was that she had failed to help Mrs. Wang's daughter improve her grades, but if she could go back, she would still make the same choice.
Gu Xiao Meng believes that some things that seem useless to others are actually not useless at all. Although everyone seems to have practical goals, many efforts, like the videos made by Peng Fei and others, are often deemed useless. If something does not seem immediately useful, it will be considered a waste of effort. However, many successful practices have proven that things that seemed useless at first eventually became very useful to people.
In Gu Xiao Meng's view, just doing more exercises and getting slightly higher scores is not truly useful. Now the students are in the best and most beautiful years of their lives, so they should accept beauty and learn more about love and courage. As soon as Gu Xiao Meng's public lecture ended, the students surrounded her, and their love for her was self-evident. The education bureau colleagues who attended the lecture also handed a letter to the vice principal - an apology letter from Mrs. Wang, as Gu Xiao Meng had never tutored her daughter, but instead had just guided her, and the daughter felt that such an excellent teacher should not be punished. Gu Xiao Meng had a slight smile on her face and tears in her eyes, and the vice principal praised Gu Xiao Meng's lecture as very good, saying he had always believed in his teacher.
After a physical examination, Liu Mei Qin was found to have a tumor in her cranial cavity, and it is not yet clear whether it is benign or malignant, which has caused great worry for the Liu family. To celebrate the success of Gu Xiao Meng's public lecture, Lu Xiang planned to cook for Gu Xiao Meng himself, but Gu Xiao Meng suggested going out to eat. Suddenly, Gu Xiao Song rushed in, begging Lu Xiang for help, saying he had been cheated.
Before they could say anything else, the Liu couple returned with frowning faces. Lu Xiang asked Liu Mei Qin what had happened, and she lied, saying she had been blown by the wind and had a headache. Lu Zhi Gao also announced that he would continue to stay here for a few more months and would not leave. Everyone was puzzled about what had happened. Lu Xiang went to check on his parents' situation, afraid that his son would be worried, but Wang Hong did not reveal that she was ill, only pretending that she wanted to stay here a few more days. When Lu Xiang saw his mother crying, he thought she just didn't want to leave, so he agreed.
Outside, Gu Xiao Meng angrily demanded that Gu Xiao Song explain his problem clearly. After learning the ins and outs of Gu Xiao Song's situation, Gu Xiao Meng scolded Lu Xiang harshly. Kang Li demanded that Gu Xiao Song give her half of the money, or else she would not divorce him, as the other party had defrauded him legally. Although angry, Liu Mei Qin could not bear to scold her son, and asked Gu Xiao Meng to help Gu Xiao Song solve the problem.
Lu Xiang said he wanted to discuss his parents' situation with Gu Xiao Meng. Lu Zhi Gao felt that his son was not a real man, always needing to consult with a woman. Lu Xiang believed that this is the new era, and husband and wife should discuss things together, not based on male chauvinism.
Gu Xiao Song sold his mother's house, and now his mother has nowhere to live and can only stay here. If Gu Xiao Song doesn't take care of his mother, he would become a bad child who doesn't care for his mother. Gu Xiao Song was so angry that he threatened to never take care of Gu Xiao Song again and didn't want to continue being sorry to Lv Xiang.
Gu Xiao Song quickly apologized, and also told Gu Xiao Song that Lv Xiang knew about his situation. This caused Gu Xiao Song to get into an argument with Lv Xiang. Wang Hong, who was in the room, heard the argument and went to check on them out of concern. Outside the door, Gu Xiao Song and his mother were also eavesdropping. Lv Xiang felt that he was helping Gu Xiao Song in order to help reconcile his wife and mother, but Gu Xiao Song accused Lv Xiang of having no right to interfere in her affairs.
Gu Xiao Song and Lv Xiang heard the discussion of the two pairs of relatives outside the door and came out, claiming that there was no issue between the couple and stopping the argument. Wang Hong, thinking about her illness, felt anxious. Seeing that Gu Xiao Song was always dominating Lv Xiang, she became teary-eyed, thinking that if she died, she must help her son take charge before then. Lv Zhi Gao hurriedly stopped his wife from continuing, as he was most afraid of hearing her talk about life and death.
In the evening, Lv Xiang brought Gu Xiao Song a cup of water, and Gu Xiao Song also apologized proactively, saying she was no longer angry and knew she had spoken too harshly. Lv Xiang hoped that Gu Xiao Song's relationship with Liu Mei Qin would not become too strained. Gu Xiao Song also knew that she would not really abandon them, and planned to buy another apartment so that Lv Xiang's parents could come and live without interfering with each other. Liu Mei Qin overheard this and thought Gu Xiao Song was determined to care for Lv Zhi Gao's couple, so she planned to thoroughly discourage this idea.
To buy a house, Lv Xiang decided to start working at the company again tomorrow. Now Gu Xiao Song plans to compete for the team leader position to earn more income. She used to be high-minded, but now has been defeated by reality. But she was worried Tian Ning might not be willing since she had previously said she wouldn't participate. Lv Xiang knew Tian Ning had a good relationship with Gu Xiao Song, so as long as they talked it through, there would be no problem.
