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.

Tras divorciarse, Su Xia descubre que la familia de su exmarido retiene sus documentos de registro familiar y le pone todo tipo de obstáculos. Su propia familia, que favorece a los hijos varones, también se niega a permitir que traslade su registro a su pueblo natal, por lo que acaba viviendo en un sótano y sin poder encontrar trabajo. Su madre, Pei Xue, decide cerrar la antigua tienda familiar de comida estofada y viajar a Jingzhou con su hijo para apoyar a Su Xia. Su prima, Zhou Man, aporta pruebas fundamentales de las extorsiones y calumnias de la otra parte. Gracias a las leyes y las políticas gubernamentales, la familia consigue tramitar el registro familiar colectivo y abre en Jingzhou una pequeña tienda de comida estofada llamada Gui Hu. Mientras la familia de su exmarido, su padre favoritista y los prestamistas usureros se turnan para acosarla, Su Xia defiende sus derechos por la vía legal con el apoyo de su familia y de los vecinos. Aferrándose a una olla de caldo estofado tradicional, consigue establecerse y comprende que el verdadero destino de una mujer nunca consiste en depender de los demás, sino en salir adelante por sí misma.
