Zhao Tiemei, owner of a modern scrap recycling station, wakes up to find herself transformed into the new daughter-in-law of the Chen family in the 1980s. On her wedding day, she discovers that her parents-in-law have been locked in a pigsty by snobbish relatives. She immediately picks up a broom to fiercely protect her family and invites the two elders to the seat of honor. Facing an impoverished home, she does not complain about heaven or blame others, returning to her old trade of collecting scrap. Relying on her good skills in waste sorting, she pans her first pot of gold from copper and iron scraps, and taking her parents-in-law and husband with her, she starts from a broken flatbed cart, taking it step by step.
