On the grand stage of marriage, all kinds of family dramas unfold one after another, and the mother-in-law often plays a pivotal role. Let's take a look at a few of these families.
First, Family No. 1. The mother-in-law here is a glamorous mom named Su Lijuan. She is gorgeous on the outside, and just as fashion-forward inside, a thoroughly modern woman. But who could have guessed that she lost her father at a young age, leaving the entire burden of life on her frail shoulders? Still, Su Lijuan refused to let fate defeat her, raising her child on her own through endless hardship. Perhaps because she had seen so much of the world, she desperately hoped her daughter would marry a blue-eyed, blond foreigner, believing that would be more cosmopolitan and prestigious. But fate played a joke on her: her daughter ended up marrying a Japanese man. And so Su Lijuan and her son-in-law, Kamijo Kyosuke, lived under the same roof. Their different national cultures, lifestyles, and habits led to a string of hilarious misunderstandings.
Now let's look at Family No. 2. The mother-in-law, Zhou Dongxian, is quite different. She seems domineering, always making a racket and giving everyone the impression that she's formidable. In reality, she's just a blustering coward. She's also a slow thinker, often a step behind when it comes to getting things done.
