For two years, Deng Chun'e, a rural woman, helped her mother-in-law run a laundry workshop at home. She discovered that the household money her husband sent home did not add up, while her child's tuition fees were running short. Without making a scene, she invited her husband home to settle the accounts and asked a mediator to clarify the finances, resolving the conflict caused by her mother-in-law supposedly saving money on their behalf. After receiving her wages, she rented a courtyard and opened her own laundry business, inviting neighbors to work with her and establishing strict rules for honest business practices. Through her own hard work, she achieved a stable increase in income, secured her child's tuition fees, and reunited her family in harmony, finally living life on her own terms.
