In a small southern town in 1982, Lin Wanqiu was reborn from the regrets of 1998, just in time for the critical moment when her daughter suffered from a high fever in the autumn and her ex-husband Zhou Jianguo wanted to use his remaining food stamps to buy his sister-in-law a "Chenliang" shirt. She was mistreated by her husband's family in her previous life, and she devoted everything to the family but ended up seriously ill and neglected. Her son Zhou Lei thought she was embarrassed. In this life, she completely sobered up - she took food stamps to save her daughter, exposed her husband's hidden money, and even took advantage of his misappropriation of public property. She resolutely divorced her. Even if she left home with only Nianqiu and dowry, she still had to escape from the quagmire.
She worked hard to support her daughter: unloading goods at the wharf, staying up late to embroider handkerchiefs in exchange for money, and then setting up a stall to sell brown sugar cakes based on the needs of the wharf workers. She relied on real materials and good skills to gain a foothold. Faced with Zhou Jianguo's difficulties in spreading rumors and monopolizing raw materials, she resolved them one by one. From a shack stall to a "Late Autumn Pastry Shop", she was also awarded the title of "Hard-working Expert in Getting Rich".
However, Zhou Jianguo lost his official position and his husband's family fell into disrepair. Zhou Lei, who once thought she was poor, repented and begged for reconciliation, but Lin Wanqiu cruelly refused. In the end, she bought a new house, and Nianqiu was admitted to a prestigious school to study food science in order to pass on her skills. Mother and daughter embraced each other on New Year's Eve. Lin Wanqiu finally won a happy life on her own, leaving the scumbag family with endless regrets.
