Lu Jingchen hands his entire monthly salary of 40,000 yuan to his mother, Zhang Lan. During their three years of marriage, his wife, Su Wan, receives only 200 yuan a month for living expenses and has to support all the household expenses with her own 5,000-yuan salary. After years of malnutrition, Su Wan collapses from a stomach condition and is rushed to the hospital, where a cruel truth is finally exposed: her mother-in-law has secretly been using her son's salary to subsidize the household of her daughter, Lu Yao. Finally coming to his senses, Lu Jingchen stops blindly obeying his mother and decides to reclaim the marital assets, determined to protect his wife's rightful share while choosing between his family of origin and the family he has built with his wife.
