Old Han of Kaoshan Village raises more than a dozen dairy cows and has managed to build up a bit of savings.
His four sons and two daughters all have their eyes fixed on that money.
The eldest is spineless, and his wife has an uncomfortably close relationship with one of the village's local ruffians.
The second is honest, but can't hold his head up because he has two daughters.
The third is shrewd, and his wife, Liu Yan, is the biggest schemer of them all.
The youngest is a good-for-nothing, buried in debt and constantly on the run.
Old Han and his wife discuss it: they can't hand over the money. Once they do, their children will turn into enemies.
But who could have guessed that Old Han would suddenly produce an “illegitimate son,” Han Laowu?
That sets off an uproar.
Liu Yan makes a scene, Han Laosan joins in, Han Laosi comes back demanding money, and Ma Laosan sneaks into the cowshed in the middle of the night...
Old Han just squats by the cowshed, holding his enamel mug and watching the pack of wolves put on their show.
As long as you have the money, you're their father.
Without it, you're just a burden.
But who exactly is Han Laowu?
Only Old Han knows.
