Lin Xiulan, Takes Charge
Twenty-year-old Lin Xiulan is pressured by her sister-in-law to marry a man in exchange for a bride price. Determined to escape that fate, she chooses to marry Dazhu, the hardworking farmer she loves. When she first enters the Zhao family, she must endure her domineering mother-in-law's endless demands, bullying from the neighbors, and one scheme after another from her sister-in-law back at her family home. Facing every challenge with dignity and composure, Xiulan uses her wits to outsmart greedy neighbors and fights to recover compensation for a workplace injury while protecting her bullied younger sister-in-law. Relying on her tailoring skills, she struggles to build a business from scratch, starting with a single sewing machine. She obtains a business license, secures an order from the supply and marketing cooperative, and opens the Zhao Family Tailoring Shop. Her mother-in-law gradually moves from estrangement to understanding, and the whole family learns to stand together. This is a story of a rural woman who overcomes adversity, grows stronger, and becomes the backbone of her entire family.
