Love Family Ep 3 (recap)

EP 3

Sheng Ren asks if You Qing is married and she just smiles back at him leaves with her son. Yin Yin picks ups on strange vibes from the two guys and wonders why they care so much about You Qing when they are in relationship together. Shi Long quickly informs her they are not partners but just close friends.


Realizing his Angel is married and has a son, Sheng Ren is crushed and heartbroken. You Ai dismisses the guys strange behavior and puts them to work which Sheng Ren completes in a zombie state. Shi Long brings up since Sheng Ren's Angel is not available if they needed to continue working at the inn. Sheng Ren agrees these is no need and informs the Xu family they will be leaving.

You Ai is outraged to learn this and gets angrier when Sheng Ren offers to pay off the rest of their contract. She calls Sheng Ren a spoiled brat and accuses his parents of raising him poorly. This upsets Sheng Ren immensely and the guys leave the inn. Later that night Yin Yin comes over to talk to You Ai and asks her to reconsider having the guys stay. You Ai admits she would like them to stay but it was up to them.

The next morning, bright and early, Sheng Ren and Shi Long arrive ready to work, which surprises You Ai. Little does she know they  have an agenda of being petty and the slowest workers to spite You Ai and hopefully get fired/let go. You Ai's mother comes by and pulls her aside letting her know the guys are just upset with how they were spoken to and maybe she should apology. You Ai sets off to say sorry only to get into another argument with the guys. That night during dinner, You Ai  refuses them food which angers them even more and they get up and leave. We find out later You Ai is working so hard so her parents don't have to, since they have spent so much of their lives taking care of the family and inn.

Thoughts: Much like the last ep, You Ai is pretty hard on the guys (again) and I find her combative attitude towards them not useful. Especially if she want them around as future workers. It was comical to me how crushed Sheng Ren was to learn his supposed Angel was married with a child. It has been 20 years so you can't really expect someone not be maybe in a relationship or even married with a kid. His exceptions vs. reality was distorted.
