Worried about Xia Fenghua, Xie Wanghe asked Zhou Haikuo to investigate Brother Hai’s studio and hacked into their website’s photo album. He discovered that, while they appeared to be taking photos for Taobao, they were actually making money through lingerie and explicit photography. Upon learning that Xia Fenghua had already arrived in the city, Xie Wanghe rushed over in a panic—fortunately, nothing had happened to her.

Xie Wanghe took Xia Fenghua to a food stall to celebrate her narrow escape, but he didn’t forget to scold her for always dreaming about opportunities falling from the sky. Though Xia Fenghua responded with playful banter, acting indifferent to Xie Wanghe’s rescue, deep down, she was incredibly moved. Xie Wanghe even personally bought her medicine for her injuries. The next morning, Xie Wanghe took Xia Fenghua back to Huajie.

She was still considering whether to call the police, but he pointed out that Brother Hai’s photos were technically just lingerie shots, making it difficult to determine if any laws had been broken. Moreover, reporting it might harm her reputation. Xie Wanghe told her to return to the courtyard while he prepared to head to Beijing. Watching him leave, Xia Fenghua couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

When Xie Tiancheng and his wife found out, they were furious and immediately called Shao Xingchi and Zhou Haikuo over. The two, though hesitant, expressed their support for Xie Wanghe, only to receive a harsh beating from their own parents. Meanwhile, Xie Wanghe, full of confidence, boarded the bus to Beijing. As he arrived in the bustling metropolis, he felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden—overwhelmed with excitement and curiosity.

However, due to the small scale of his project, potential investors dismissed him outright. In the end, they merely arranged for him to use a second-hand domestic server. Seeing how insignificant his startup was compared to the billion-dollar projects in Beijing, Xie Wanghe couldn’t help but feel humbled. Back at school, Xia Fenghua and the others helped request leave for Xie Wanghe.

Teacher Xu agreed to cover for him but urged them to have Xia Fenghua’s parents provide an official leave note—just not to mention anything about starting a business in Beijing. During class, they brainstormed a reason for Xie Wanghe’s leave, and Sun Sanliang eagerly joined the discussion. After school, Xia Fenghua went home and persuaded Liang Haihong to write the leave note.

She repeatedly emphasized that Xie Wanghe’s entrepreneurship was a good thing, but Liang Haihong remained skeptical that he could accomplish anything significant. At the hospital, Gu A’Lian saw Ma Siyi and Chen Rui discussing homework and invited Ma Siyi to join Chen Rui for tutoring over the weekend. Ma Siyi initially wanted to refuse but reluctantly agreed under Chen Rui’s persuasion. Meanwhile, the neighborhood mothers noticed that Grandma Ma was missing from her usual spot at the market.

Worried, Liang Haihong rushed home, only to find Grandma Ma weakly lying on the floor. In a panic, they called Zhou Yanlin for help, and together, they rushed her to the hospital. At the hospital, Liang Haihong ran into Ma Siyi and brought her to the ward, where she finally learned that Grandma Ma had suffered a stroke. Overwhelmed, she clung to the bedside and cried her heart out. Grandma Ma gently comforted her, telling her not to worry.

Watching from the doorway, Li Yan and Liang Haihong sighed, knowing that the Ma family was already struggling financially, and now, things had only gotten worse. That night, Ma Siyi returned home feeling devastated. Xia Fenghua dragged her over for soup, hoping to keep her from overthinking. Meanwhile, Zhou Yanlin gathered the neighbors to discuss how to support Grandma Ma, either by helping her apply for social assistance or pooling money and resources.

Since Gu A’Lian managed similar cases, Zhou Yanlin asked Shao Bingyi to help out. Though Shao Bingyi initially put up a tough front and refused, he secretly bought gifts the next day and went to reconcile with Chen Bo. After school, Xia Fenghua and the others immediately went to visit Grandma Ma. The neighborhood elders had already installed a phone in her home, and Zhou Yanlin took Gu A’Lian to inspect her stall.

Gu A’Lian admitted she couldn’t handle the case directly but advised them to submit a formal request to the community office for further assistance. At this crucial moment, everyone pitched in however they could—whether financially or through labor—creating a heartwarming sense of unity among the people of Yunhe. Meanwhile, at an internet café, Xie Wanghe messaged Zhou Haikuo, informing him that he had secured a server. Just then, he overheard Brother Qiang next door discussing internet business. Realizing that Brother Qiang was experienced in the field, Xie Wanghe eagerly approached him for guidance.
