Executive summary
In a small closed mountain village where the Chaohe River flows through Jiuqu and Shibawan, there are more than a dozen families with the same high surname living. Dozens of people are like one big family. On the surface, the frozen Chaohe River appears to be extremely calm, but beneath the calm, there is an undercurrent surging. They ignore the friendship of the same roots and hope to be poor. They don't know that there is beauty and love in the world. When the male protagonist Zhang Jialiang becomes the door-to-door son-in-law of the female protagonist Gao Shumei, it triggers a series of conflicts of interest just like nuclear fission. Beauty, ugliness, good and evil, love and hatred are all nakedly exposed in the conflict. If you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans. There is no evil cause, and it is difficult to bear evil consequences. In the end, Gao Shumei jumped into the river and died, and Zhang Jialiang eloped with his wife and sister-in-law Zheng Xiaohong.
