On Chinese New Year's Eve, Pang Chunlan spent three hours making the New Year's Eve dinner, only to be dismissed by her mother-in-law with "Go eat in the kitchen" for the seventh year. Supporting the whole family on a monthly salary of three thousand two, she collapsed from exhaustion at the cashier counter. On the first day of the new year, she dug out seven years of ledger books, wrote down that this family cannot run for a single day without me, and from then on only kept accounts without arguing. After striking back at her mother-in-law's harassment during the Lantern Festival family banquet, she took off her apron and walked out, and the family collapsed that very day. When her mother-in-law was dismissed into the kitchen with the exact same phrase at the in-laws' table, she finally woke up in pain. Returning with three conditions—money managed by her, housework split fifty-fifty, and visiting her parents' home—the next year's New Year's Eve saw three people standing in the kitchen and an extra chair left for her by the table.
