《上有老下有小》顾晓蒙弃权竞选组长了。
When Gu Xiaomeng helped Liu Meiqin up and they walked back together, Liu Meiqin almost stumbled, revealing a shock of white hair at the back of her neck, hidden by her scarf. Gu Xiaomeng suddenly realized how much her mother had aged, stirring mixed emotions within her. Upon returning home, Wang Hong reprimanded Gu Xiaosong and Gu Xiaomeng, urging them not to hurt their mother's feelings again. She insisted on personally making dinner to bring the family together, and Gu Xiaomeng couldn't help but express her gratitude to Wang Hong before rushing off to class.
During the school meeting, Principal Zheng acknowledged Gu Xiaomeng's capabilities despite her failure to follow protocol that day. Some noticed the change in attitude from Peng Fei, who had clashed with Gu Xiaomeng just last month but now seemed to support her, indicating her growing influence. Though Gu Xiaomeng wasn't present, her classmates' impressive speeches garnered admiration, potentially leading to unanimous support if she were to be elected as their leader.
Back home, Gu Xiaomeng applied ointment to her mother's legs, and Liu Meiqin admitted her decision to leave earlier was impulsive. Gu Xiaomeng and her siblings apologized to each other, hoping their mother could find peace. Liu Meiqin, reluctant to burden Gu Xiaomeng, wanted to move out to save face in front of Wang Hong and her husband. Gu Xiaomeng understood her mother's pride and chose not to argue. Reflecting on the day's events, she confided her worries to Lv Xiang, gaining a deeper understanding of her mother's perspective. Lv Xiang reassured Gu Xiaomeng that everyone ages, but to her, Gu Xiaomeng would always remain youthful.
In class, Gu Xiaomeng announced her withdrawal from the election for class leader, disappointing her classmates who had supported her. Zhao Ziwen revealed that Zhang Yiyi had gained entry through connections, unfairly putting the blame on Gu Xiaomeng and leading to her decision. Tian Ning won the election uncontested, but Gu Xiaomeng's resignation left her feeling less jubilant than expected.
