The developments of episode 13 aired on the evening of March 23 brought a tense film pace, focusing on the pressure from Quan's family (Ms. Dung played by NSUT Quach Thu Phuong) on the Thuong sisters (played by Quynh Kool).
After many hesitations, Ms. Dung finally agreed to go to the police station for mediation and withdrew the lawsuit against Minh (played by Son Tung) - Thuong's younger brother. The fact that the damaged car was in the name of Quan (played by Huynh Anh) helped Minh luckily escape legal trouble by a hair's breadth.
However, this incident became an excuse for Ms. Dung's attitude towards Thuong to become even more harsh. She resolutely forbade her son from continuing to associate with Thuong, citing the reason that her sisters often associate with gangsters. Despite Quan's efforts to explain and defend Thuong, affirming that Minh was only at the age of impulsiveness, Ms. Dung still did not change her prejudice.
The climax of the episode is the scene where Mrs. Dung arbitrarily returns to her hometown to meet Thuong's grandmother. Here, harsh insults about Thuong's family's difficult circumstances were dropped.
Quan's mother did not hesitate to mock Thuong for intending to take advantage of her son to find a support to change her life. The insult aimed directly at the self-esteem of a poor family pushed the conflict beyond the limit.
Contrary to the usual patience and gentleness, when witnessing her granddaughter's dignity being trampled on, Thuong's grandmother (NSUT Ngoc Tan) reacted extremely strongly.
She stood up, pointed straight to the door and firmly declared that no one was allowed to insult the family or say wrong things about her granddaughter, and resolutely drove the customer away.
Episode 13 closes with a moment of silence and deadlock. The grandmother's action to protect her grandchild draws a boundary that is difficult to reconcile between the two families.
The relationship between Thuong and Quan is now not only facing the pressure of making a living but also on the verge of collapse due to the clear distinction in social status.
