Episode 4

The next day, Xu Meng'an and Li Lin began to carefully calculate the daily expenses at home.Unemployed Li Lin made mortgage repayments extremely heavy, and expenses such as car maintenance, lunch, coffee and daily meals also made them feel even more stressed.In order to save money, Li Lin began to pay attention to supermarket flash sales and set an alarm clock on his mobile phone to snap up cheap ingredients on time every day.

One day, Li Lin missed the rush to buy discounted eggs because he answered the phone, but unexpectedly met his father who was also buying vegetables in the supermarket.The old man took Li Lin to chat about his family affairs. Li Lin tried his best to avoid talking about unemployment and only vaguely mentioned that he was switching careers to sales.Although the old man was dubious, when he came home and saw the information about Li Lin selling insurance in his circle of friends, he understood that his son-in-law was facing a dilemma.

At the same time, Xu Mengxin is also working hard to integrate into the circle of wives.She heard that a wife was in urgent need of a foreign teacher, so she approached Chen Wanzhen for help.Chen Wanzhen just wanted to stop her daughter's foreign teaching classes, so she agreed to Xu Mengxin's request.This move allowed Xu Mengxin to smoothly integrate into the circle of wives and was welcomed by everyone.

After Li Lin lost his job, he took care of housework at home and occasionally went out to buy special offers in supermarkets.He lived a stable life and even discussed with Xu Meng'an to go to his original company to issue an unemployment certificate in order to receive a monthly subsidy of 2,000 yuan.However, Xu Mengan disagreed with this approach. She believed that Li Lin should actively look for a job instead of settling for the status quo.She emphasized that when people reach middle age, they cannot stay at home all day and should be responsible for the family's financial situation. They must not only save expenses, but also work hard to increase their income.

On the other side, Chen Wanzhen's husband Yu Hai was taken to look at the house by his assistant Huang Sisi.During working hours, Huang Sisi expressed her desire to live closer to the sea.Although Yu Hai tried to distance himself from the relationship, Huang Sisi's intention was very obvious.She found out that Chen Wanzhen worked in the sales department, so she deliberately let Yu Hai see her busy figure in an attempt to create a conflict.Chen Wanzhen saw her husband and mistress appearing in the sales department together, and filed for divorce out of anger.Although Yu Hai tried to coax Chen Wanzhen, Chen Wanzhen had made up her mind this time. She could no longer endure Huang Sisi's provocation and humiliation.
