The reason why the Shiyuan family came down in the world was because Shiyuan's uncle found out liver cancer and sold the house because of seeing a doctor. The Yuan family helped a lot in the afterlife. Finally, the house was gone, so he had to move to an alley to live in poverty.

Shiyuan's mother was ill and spent a lot of money, which made the life of Shiyuan's family very difficult. The family lives in poverty, but it can be seen that the Yuanyuan family lives in a well-organized way, which is a habit that was maintained before the family fortune declined.

Life in Ishihara is also very difficult. At that time, his family conditions were good, and he was admitted to Fudan by a few points in the college entrance examination. But then his father said that it was better to go to a third-rate university than to go to a higher vocational school, so Ishihara went to a higher vocational school and became a tour guide after graduation.

Ishihara could have gone back to Shanghai to take the college entrance examination. Later, her grandmother died, her uncle went to South Africa to do business, and no one accepted her in Shanghai, so Ishihara never returned to Shanghai. It was his uncle who got the Ishihara family into trouble. Originally, his uncle made some money in business, but all his savings were spent because of liver cancer, and the whole family moved to the alley.
