In the early 1980s in a rural village, the second branch of the Qiao family gave birth to three daughters, who were regarded by the patriarch as a dead end for the family line. During the Mid-Autumn Festival family division, all houses and land were biased toward the eldest branch. Ten-year-old Yindi openly fought back to reclaim two bags of grain, from then on carrying the responsibility of protecting her mother and younger sisters. From tearing skirts, forcing a divorce, stealing a sewing machine, and inheritance conspiracies to the dead chicken on New Year's Eve and her father's gastric cancer, Yindi carried it all hard through every step. At the age of sixteen, she gave up key high school, learned to make tofu, and propped up a home. Over eighty episodes portray the absurdity of valuing boys over girls, and also portray a girl's toughest possible answer to the words 'dead end for the family line'.
