(Cruel mother-in-law + married far from home + returning to her parents’ home + abandoned on the highway)
During the May Day holiday, Wen Mei finally got her husband, Song Jinghan, to agree.
After twelve years of living far from home, she could finally visit her parents!
But once they got on the highway, Song Jinghan drove in the opposite direction from home.
Wen Mei had a huge fight with him in the car.
In a fit of rage, Song Jinghan dumped her at a service station.
Wen Mei had no money, no phone, no food. She could cry out to the heavens and the earth, but no one would answer.
It wasn’t until the next day that her husband’s family finally showed up to teach her a lesson.
“Do you know what despair feels like now? Even in death, you’ll belong to the Song family!”

The year Wen Mei graduated from university, she severed ties with her family to marry Song Jinghan.
Over the twelve years of their marriage, she gave birth to three children.
Song Jinghan liked a devoted wife and mother, so she gave up her career and became the free nanny everyone in the family took for granted.
Not only did her in-laws look down on her, but what hurt most was that even the children she had carried for nine months thought she was useless.

Later, Wen Mei heard that her father had suffered a brain hemorrhage and was in critical condition.
She begged her in-laws to let her take the three children home to see him one last time, but they answered her with merciless blows.
Her mother-in-law slapped her: “You were the one who threw yourself at my son back then. Want to leave? Give him a son first!”
Song Jinghan said in a condescending tone:
“Wen Mei, stay here and behave yourself as our nanny. At least you’ll have food to eat.”
Her own children looked at her with disgust. “I’m not going with you. You’re poor and useless. I only want Dad!”
Their every word struck her to the heart, shattering the illusions that had blinded her.
She stopped giving in, divorced him resolutely, and took two of the children with her.
