Lin Xueruo married Zhang Yi, a man from a poor family who had struck it rich, believing she was setting off toward a happy life. But on her first visit to his rural hometown, her five-year-old daughter, Zhang Lingling, became a bargaining chip for the in-laws to exchange for money.
Huang Guihua, the mother of a mentally disabled neighbor, came asking to adopt the girl. The in-laws immediately accepted thirty thousand yuan in compensation, calling it a “blessing” to sell off a little girl.
Her mother-in-law called Lingling a money pit, and her brother-in-law joined in. Her cowardly husband, Zhang Yi, gave in and urged her to keep quiet and put up with it. To protect her daughter, Lin Xueruo was beaten and berated, forced to kneel, and even threatened with death in the village.
She may have married the wrong man, and she can endure the humiliation and beatings, but her daughter must not be hurt in the slightest.
Her in-laws are cold-blooded, and her husband is blindly devoted to his family. This marriage is nothing but a joke! Lin Xueruo puts aside her forbearance and risks her life to protect her daughter, declaring herself an enemy of the Zhang family!
