The Fragrance of Soybeans, Blossoming Years
In a rural village during the 1970s and 1980s, the Meng family's second branch faces constant criticism for having only three daughters and suffers from the elders' favoritism during the family property division. When their father falls seriously ill, the enormous medical expenses push the family to the brink. The eldest daughter, Meng Niandi, gives up her place at a prestigious high school and learns to make tofu to support the family. The three sisters stand by one another, while their mother, Luo Suqin, tenaciously holds the household together. Despite difficulties caused by relatives, malicious rumors, and deliberate schemes, they remain committed to honest business practices, transforming a small tofu workshop in the stable into a large factory with collective investment. Each sister pursues her own dreams through medical studies, education, and industrial entrepreneurship. Through hard work, they shatter outdated beliefs and prove that women can build their own homes and earn their own glory with their own hands, without relying on their gender.

Di sebuah kampung pada era 1970-an dan 1980-an, keluarga cabang kedua keluarga Meng sering menjadi bahan kritikan kerana hanya mempunyai tiga orang anak perempuan. Ketika pembahagian harta keluarga, mereka turut menerima layanan berat sebelah daripada orang tua. Apabila bapa jatuh sakit tenat, kos rawatan yang amat besar membebankan keluarga sehingga hampir tidak mampu bertahan. Meng Niandi, anak perempuan sulung, sanggup melepaskan peluang memasuki sekolah menengah berprestij dan belajar membuat tauhu demi menyara keluarga. Tiga beradik perempuan itu saling menjaga dan membantu, sementara ibu mereka, Luo Suqin, tabah mempertahankan rumah tangga. Walaupun menghadapi kesukaran akibat kerenah saudara-mara, khabar angin fitnah dan rancangan jahat, mereka tetap berpegang pada prinsip perniagaan yang jujur. Bengkel tauhu kecil di kandang kuda akhirnya berkembang menjadi sebuah kilang besar dengan pelaburan bersama. Setiap adik-beradik mengejar impian masing-masing dalam bidang perubatan, pendidikan dan keusahawanan industri. Melalui usaha dan tindakan nyata, mereka memecahkan pemikiran lapuk serta membuktikan bahawa mereka mampu membina kehidupan dan meraih kemuliaan dengan tangan sendiri tanpa bergantung pada jantina.
