After ten years of marriage, Xu Mingyi paid to renovate her parents-in-law's old home and took care of their medical treatment, hospital visits, caregiving, and various expenses. When her husband's family received three relocation apartments after their old home was demolished, all three were given to her younger brother-in-law, yet they still expected her to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the elderly. Heartbroken, Xu Mingyi put an end to her one-sided sacrifices and demanded that both brothers share the duty of caring for their parents. Faced with her husband's attempts to smooth things over and her in-laws' moral pressure, she stood her ground with reason, drawing a clear line between money and responsibility. Even when her in-laws offered property as compensation, she refused to repeat the same mistakes. In the end, she chose divorce, reclaimed herself, and set out to live a life of her own.
