At the banquet, her husband Zhou Zeheng intentionally creates misunderstandings, making her suffer the blame of being unfilial. Afterwards, she discovers that the household funds she and her mother-in-law hand over to Zhou Zeheng every month are squandered by him on stock trading, gambling, and keeping a third party. Su Nian collects evidence, draws a clear line on debts and property, and although she gives Zhou Zeheng a chance for probation, she no longer trusts blindly, holding the initiative of her life in her own hands to protect herself and her daughter.
