Lin Suxin, an embroiderer past fifty, is married off by her son-in-law Zhang Hao for an eighty-thousand betrothal gift to an elderly man bedridden in the Zhao family. Without making a fuss or causing trouble, she pretends to agree, turning instead to go on a blind date at the Old Street tea house. Pushing open the door, sitting behind the table is not Old Man Zhao, but Lu Zhenhua, who three years ago in a rainstorm lent her an umbrella and helped her carry her sewing machine. He says, I've noticed you for a long time. At this moment, she decides to live once for herself. With an old sewing machine and a small embroidery workshop, the old street from then on has a pair of hands unwilling to bow their heads. Zhang Hao would never imagine that the mother-in-law he calculated against would embroider her days step by step into her own shape.
