In Later Years 熟年 Episode 25

Ni Weimin was busy delivering food to make money, and obviously forgot his birthday. Fortunately, Wu Erhu got up early to tidy up the house, and specially prepared gifts to surprise him. The two recalled the first time they met each other. Although Ni Weimin felt that the old couple was too nasty, his heart seemed to be sweetened with honey, and the couple were very happy talking and laughing.

At this time, Ni Jun came back and said that he would celebrate his father's birthday. Unexpectedly, Ni Weiqiang suddenly sent a message to invite the whole family to have dinner together. The couple were a little stunned by this. On the other side, when He Meilian was chatting with Xinran, she unexpectedly learned that He Zhichao's IELTS score was as high as 7 points, which was not as low as he described.

That night, Ni Weiqiang was the host to prepare the family banquet, and by the way, he celebrated his eldest brother's birthday, and bought gifts for everyone. The atmosphere was originally happy, but the old lady Ni hoped that Zhang Chunmei and Ni Weiqiang would get back together, and because Ni Weiqiang did not express his opinion for a long time, she broke out at this family banquet, bringing up the past and praising her eldest son for giving too much for the family. He pointedly accused Ni Weiqiang of being selfish and asked him to apologize to Zhang Chunmei in front of everyone.

Ni Weiqiang knew that he was ashamed of his family members, especially Zhang Chunmei. Everyone present wanted to give Ni Weiqiang a step down, but Mrs. Ni refused to let her go. In the end, Ni Weiqiang admitted his mistake. As for the matter of remarriage, he still kept silent. He never thought about going back to his previous life. The atmosphere of the meal was very embarrassing.

Because He Meilian knew that He Zhichao had lied to her, she was angry and accused him of lying about her IELTS results. He Zhichao explained that she did this because she did not want to go abroad. After all, now that Ni Weizhen is pregnant, he should take responsibility and stay and take care of her. He Meilian said that she would take care of the children with her eldest sister, and if He Zhichao did not study abroad, she would go on a hunger strike.

However, He Zhichao took into account that Ni Weizhen had just signed the gambling agreement, and he did not want her to bear the pressure of life, so he firmly responded that he would not go abroad. It was also because He Meilian had nothing to do, and she fell into a cold war with He Zhichao, so she simply informed Ni Weizhen of the matter, and then asked Xinran to help him apply for a foreign school instead of He Zhichao. Ni Weizhen knew what He Zhichao was thinking, but she didn't want to be a burden to him, and made it clear that she would support him to study abroad.

Ni Weiqiang waited for Zhang Chunmei to come back, saying that he would not leave again this time, and also wanted to apply for a leave from the school to stay for a while to take care of his mother. Zhang Chunmei could also understand Ni Weiqiang's idea of making up for the old man, so she told him some details about taking care of Mrs. Ni, and Ni Weiqiang carefully recorded it in his notebook.

During this period of time, Mrs. Ni still hoped that her son and daughter-in-law would remarry and reconcile, that she would be more aware of her son's virtues, would not admit to his mistakes, and would always blame others for his mistakes. Mrs. Ni asked Zhang Chunmei if she had received Ni Weiqiang's intention to remarry, and Zhang Chunmei answered truthfully. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ni kicked Ni Weiqiang out of the house directly and asked him to reflect.

Ni Weiqiang, who had nowhere to go, came to his elder brother's house, wanting to play chess with him and confide in his heart. It happened that the eldest brother Ni Weimin went out to deliver food, and his sister-in-law Wu Erhu personally received him. Ni Weiqiang, who stayed in the room, looked at the bed that he slept with his elder brother when he was a child, filled with infinite memories, leaning against the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.

Early the next morning, Ni Weiqiang bought it and went home early. Zhang Chunmei revealed to Ni Weiqiang that Dean Zhu had called her to get Ni Weiqiang to return to the research institute to participate in new projects. After all, it would be impossible without him. But Ni Weiqiang tactfully refused Dean Zhu. Obviously, Dean Zhu could only ask Zhang Chunmei for help, hoping that Zhang Chunmei would persuade Ni Weiqiang as his wife.
