In her previous life, Chen Guilan disliked her daughter-in-law's background as a capitalist and the hardship on the island. She was unwilling to accompany the army to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, and chose to take care of her pregnant daughter nearby. As a result, her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson all treated her like a mother-in-law and starved her alive in a rotten thatched cottage while she was paralyzed in bed.
