Ma Xiuxiu's soul inhabits the body of her mute younger sister-in-law, who desperately tries to stop the cremation through her expressions and gestures. Her daughter, Zhao Huiting, suffers a difficult childbirth but manages to deliver her baby by drawing strength from her mother's teachings, then rushes back to attend the funeral immediately after giving birth. Her mother-in-law, Li Fengqin, humiliates her in every possible way, only to be reprimanded by the possessed younger sister-in-law. When relatives from Ma Xiuxiu's birth family arrive, they intimidate Li Fengqin, allowing Ma Xiuxiu to receive a dignified farewell.
