1986, Xuncheng. There was a massive layoff in the cotton spinning factory, and Shen Heng was the last one to leave the workshop. With three hundred yuan in compensation in her arms, she set up a clothing stall on the roadside, selling jeans imported from the south. Her husband-in-law, Li Guilan, scolded her for being unruly, and her adopted daughter-in-law should serve her parents-in-law at home. Sister-in-law Su Min was worried about her stall and said it should be used for her nephew to get a wife. Lin Wanqing, the sister-in-law, brought a bowl of chicken soup and said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." After Shen Heng drank the bowl of soup, she suffered from abdominal pain that night. When she woke up again, there was a voice in her ears - Lin Wanqing's heartbeat: "Why didn't you poison her? That batch of goods will be mine." Shen Heng clenched the sheets tightly. When her mother-in-law walked in, she said, "Take good care of her," but she was cursing in her heart, "You lose money, you will have to pay for the coffin when you die." She suddenly understood what everyone was really saying. The next day, a reunion banquet was held in the factory compound. Lin Wanqing acted virtuous again and served her a dish in public: "Sister-in-law, eat a piece of meat to replenish your health." Shen Heng smiled, picked up the meat and threw it into the trash can: "You said in your heart that this meat is mixed with laxatives and you want me to be unable to leave the stall tomorrow so that your man can steal my stall - right?" The whole place was dead silent. Lin Wanqing's face turned pale. Shen Heng turned to look at her mother-in-law: "You are thinking about my bankbook, saying that if you marry me to the country, you can get another gift - do you want me to read it to you?" People in the courtyard began to whisper to each other. Someone was staring at her in the dark, smiling. But Shen Heng then discovered that there was a person whom her mind-reading ability could not hear at all. That person was approaching her stall step by step.
