Zhou Fuhai, a retired veteran fitter, has two properties and 2.16 million yuan in demolition compensation savings after his wife's death. Having seen through how his children's families covet his assets, he follows his late wife's wishes and pretends that all his savings have been swindled away to test his children's true feelings. Rivalries between daughters-in-law, scheming relatives, and one scammer after another appear. With the help of his grandson, Zhou Zihao, Zhou Fuhai witnesses the many sides of human nature. As one storm after another unfolds, his family gradually sheds its self-serving masks amid their struggles over money and comes to their senses. Zhou Fuhai learns to take a more relaxed view of material possessions and no longer clings to who owns what.
