Wang Fang has worked diligently and endured all hardships serving the Xu family for over twenty years, yet she has consistently been looked down upon by her in-laws and constantly taken advantage of by her two brothers-in-law. Her father, Xu Wenqiang, blindly practices filial piety and repeatedly condones his family's bullying of his wife and daughter. On New Year's Eve, Xu Wei watches as her grandparents give jade bracelets to her second and third aunts, while uniquely giving the cold shoulder to her mother, Wang Fang. Unable to watch any longer, she stands up for her mother on the spot, cuts off all subsidies to the Xu family, proposes splitting the household, and leaves the Xu family with her deeply wronged mother. After losing Xu Wei's financial support, her grandfather's medical expenses and the pressure of survival fall squarely on Xu Wenqiang. In order to get fifty thousand yuan, Xu Wenqiang tears his family apart, only to turn around and witness the selfishness and indifference of his parents and younger brothers.
