Zhou Guilan managed the daily life of her adopted son's family for many years. Simply because she wanted to return to her hometown to sweep graves and rest for a couple of days, she was labeled as a "freeloader" by Su Qiang and his wife, and was even forced to pay six hundred out of her own pocket to hire a babysitter as a replacement. Heartbroken, she stopped her monthly living allowance and went to run away to her daughter. Her adopted son's family chased after her to make a scene and act shamelessly, forging a will to dispute property and spreading rumors that she abused her grandson. Ultimately, the court ruled that the house belonged to Zhou Guilan and ordered them to vacate it within a time limit. She sold her old house to subsidize her daughter, finally putting down her heavy burden and living out her own old age.
