Northward Episode 8

Hua Zi and Si Yi were amazed by the environment and equipment at Hai Ge's photography studio, feeling like they had entered a new world. Hai Ge encouraged them to sign a contract with his studio, promising them 10,000 yuan. While Si Yi found the terms suspicious, Hua Zi, eager for the money, agreed to sign. On the way home, Si Yi scolded Hua Zi for being reckless, but Hua Zi explained that she wanted to make her parents proud and saw this as her only chance. Si Yi, understanding, decided to sign the contract too and use the money for Grandma Ma. Meanwhile, Liu Yu Ling took Grandma Ma for a check-up, and after returning, she felt uneasy and discussed with the other women how to prepare for a potential stroke. At home, Hua Zi proudly showed her mother the signed contract and the 10,000 yuan, but Li Yan grew concerned and asked Wang He to check the contract. Wang He discovered a 50,000 yuan penalty clause and promised to help Hua Zi investigate further. Elsewhere, Xie Tian Cheng and Xia Mao Tian discussed selling the boat due to the decline in river shipping, while Shao Bing Yi, frustrated with his financial struggles, decided to pressure Xie Tian Cheng for his share of the profits.
