Lin An is a useless man, half-mad and half-stupid. At twenty-six, he still steals candied hawthorn skewers from children on the roadside.
His fiancée, who was about to marry into his family, humiliates him and calls off the engagement.
All three of his older brothers die in a car accident.
When the eldest brother’s fiancée sees Lin An being humiliated, she boldly declares on the spot, “I’m willing to marry Lin An!”
The second and third brothers’ fiancées immediately follow suit: “We’re willing to marry Lin An too!”
Lin An is dumbfounded. “Why do all of you want to marry me?”
