Xiu Yu leaves the house under her brother, Wei Kang's (Andie Chen) care; this would later result in him bringing two young tenants into the house to relieve his financial woes, without prior consent from his sister. Further on, Wei Kang takes in yet another two tenants, claiming it as a desperate measure.
