Lin Xiao's married life, like countless ordinary daughters-in-law, struggled to survive amidst the strong interference of her mother-in-law and the harmony of her husband. From parenting concepts, household expenses, to living habits and personal boundaries, her mother-in-law always intervenes in everything, but her husband Zhou Yang will always advise her to "be patient and let it go." Day after day, Lin Xiao gradually lost herself in this home, like a "free nanny" with no sense of existence. All her grievances and dissatisfaction could only be swallowed silently.
In fact, there are countless contradictions in life. Lin Xiao's mother-in-law's stingy frugality and outdated ideas, as well as her husband's inaction, have long made Lin Xiao exhausted mentally and physically. The old socks mixed up in the washing machine were just one of the many frictions, far from being the last straw for her. What really chilled her was an even more unbearable thing that happened later - that time, she finally saw clearly her true position in this family.
When her dignity and sense of existence were wiped out, Lin Xiao made a bold decision - divorce. It's not because I don't love, but because I'm too tired of loving and can't see the hope of change. She wanted to leave with her children, not to escape, but to use the way of leaving to make her mother-in-law and husband truly realize the shortcomings of the family and force them to make changes.
After the divorce, the Zhou family fell into unprecedented chaos. Her mother-in-law went from being initially proud to being at a loss, and her husband finally realized everything Lin Xiao had shouldered in the past. When they take the initiative to admit their mistakes and ask for remarriage, Lin Xiao will no longer be the neglected daughter-in-law.
