On the day after the newlyweds' wedding, the mother-in-law pushes a 300,000 IOU in front of Liu Fei—since they are a family, this debt should be repaid together. Liu Fei does not cry, nor does she make a scene; she simply keeps the IOU, opens up and clearly calculates every single account the husband's family has pinned on her head—betrothal gifts, salary, dowry, human favors, counting them one by one for them to see, until the mother-in-law is left speechless. Only then does she clearly understand that the so-called family is merely letting her shoulder everything alone. She puts away the IOU, and also puts away her last shred of longing—in the days ahead, she will live only for herself, and not a single cent of this 300,000 will she carry for anyone else.
