After recovering from a serious illness, Huaxi Village peasant woman Jiang Luoluo awakens, washes away her past bad habits, and resolves to save her family teetering on the edge of collapse. Faced with her four children tainted by bad habits, she uses iron-fisted methods to reshape the family ethos, establishing the rule of distribution according to work. Skilfully combining food and strict rules with both kindness and severity, she successfully makes her gambler eldest son turn over a new leaf, her lazy second son diligent in running the household, heals her bullied daughter, and teaches her youngest son to be good. Led by her, the family pulls together, achieving prosperity through hard work operating specialty foods such as cold jelly and fermented bean curd, ultimately reversing the family's fallen reputation, regaining warm family affection, and writing a joyful and healing peasant comeback story.
