The episode begins with a heartbreaking image when Thuong (Quynh Kool) and her grandmother borrow money from neighbors, but the money collected is nothing compared to the compensation.
The last hope placed on selling the house also completely collapsed when land procedures encountered problems, there were not enough signatures of the heirs, so transactions could not be made.
Standing in a deadlock, her grandmother choked up, advising Thuong to just return to the city to continue her work, and leave everything in the countryside for her to take care of herself. Even because she loved her grandchild too much, she sobbed and begged Thuong to let her go to the city, accepting to kneel down and beg for their forgiveness.
Meanwhile, in the rented room, Trang (Ngoc Thuy) was distraught with tears of regret. Looking at her haggard older sister, Minh (Son Tung) brought rice to encourage: "Even if the sky collapses, you have to eat something.
The younger brother's words made Trang even more heartbroken, she choked up: "Grandma and Sister Thuong decided to sell the house, then later if you want to burn incense for your parents or when Tet holidays, where will you go?".
Faced with her sister's weakness, Minh maturely affirmed: "I will try to go to work to earn money to redeem the house, where my three sisters and I are, my parents are there".
After hearing about Trang's incident from Minh, teacher Giang brought the money for her IVF work to give to Thuong to manage.
The pressure surrounding her, coupled with the severe exhaustion when having to be on duty to take care of patients while working part-time at the hospital, made Thuong collapse. As soon as she returned to school to continue her work, she fainted right in the schoolyard and was taken to the emergency room by Ms. Hanh.
At the same time, Trang, staying at home because she was too poor when she heard the news that she could not sell her house, recalled Bang's sarcasm about sleeping with others to earn money.
In a moment of panic and disorientation, Trang intended to take a risk and call Bang. But at that moment, Lam's call reporting that Thuong was being treated at the hospital pulled Trang out of her foolish thought.
Running to the hospital, looking at her older sister lying on the hospital bed, Trang sobbed: "I'm sorry sister, you are both a father and a mother to take care of me.
Witnessing Thuong's situation, Ms. Hanh could not help but feel sorry, and met Lam (Manh Truong) and offered to withdraw her savings to help: "With the current situation, I'm afraid that this gentle, pitiful girl will lose her whole life.
The film's plot continues because she is too helpless in the face of a large amount of money that has not been resolved, after being discharged from the hospital, Thuong proactively meets Bang to find a place to lend at high interest rates. Here, she is shocked by the interest rates they offer.
After that, she was again made difficult and had to listen to seductions to trade herself for money. Right when she was forced, Lam appeared at the right time to rescue and bring Thuong back.
Although escaping immediate troubles, the 300 million VND compensation has not yet been resolved.
How will Thuong manage? Let's watch the next developments of "Steps into Life".
