Self-Reliance and Settling Down: She Relies on a Braised Food Shop to Defend Her Life
After divorcing her husband, Su Xia is harassed and obstructed by her former in-laws, who refuse to release her household registration. Her own family, which favors sons over daughters, also refuses to let her transfer her registration back to her hometown, leaving her stranded in a basement with nowhere to go and unable to find work. Her mother, Pei Xue, resolutely closes their old family braised food shop and travels to Jingzhou with Su Xia's brother to stand up for her. Her cousin, Zhou Man, provides crucial evidence of the other party's extortion and defamation. With the help of the law and government policies, the family successfully obtains collective household registration and opens a small braised food shop in Jingzhou called Gui Hu. As her ex-husband's family, her biased father, and loan sharks take turns harassing her, Su Xia stands up for her rights with the support of her family and neighbors. With a pot of traditional braising broth as the foundation of her livelihood, she finally establishes herself and discovers that a woman's true place in life is never in dependence on someone else, but in standing on her own two feet.

Selepas bercerai, Su Xia berdepan pelbagai kesulitan apabila keluarga bekas suaminya menahan dokumen pendaftaran isi rumahnya dan sengaja menyusahkannya. Keluarga kandungnya yang mengutamakan anak lelaki pula enggan membenarkan pendaftaran isi rumahnya dipindahkan kembali ke kampung halaman. Akibatnya, dia terpaksa tinggal di ruang bawah tanah dan tidak berjaya mendapatkan pekerjaan. Ibunya, Pei Xue, nekad menutup kedai masakan braise keluarga di kampung halaman lalu membawa anak lelakinya ke Jingzhou untuk menyokong Su Xia. Sepupunya, Zhou Man, turut menyerahkan bukti penting tentang pemerasan dan fitnah pihak lawan. Dengan bantuan undang-undang dan dasar kerajaan, keluarga itu berjaya menguruskan pendaftaran isi rumah secara kolektif, kemudian membuka sebuah kedai kecil masakan braise bernama Gui Hu di Jingzhou. Berdepan gangguan berturut-turut daripada keluarga bekas suami, ayah yang pilih kasih dan pemberi pinjaman wang haram, Su Xia mempertahankan haknya mengikut undang-undang dengan bantuan keluarga serta jiran tetangga. Dengan berpegang pada resipi kuah braise warisan keluarga, dia akhirnya membina kehidupannya sendiri dan memahami bahawa tempat bergantung sebenar seorang wanita bukanlah dengan bergantung pada orang lain, tetapi dengan berdiri atas kaki sendiri.
