Song Zhixia, a peasant girl from Qinghe County, took the initiative to marry into the Gu family, a branch of the run-down Hou Mansion, because her sister did not want to marry. Faced with a mean mother-in-law, a naughty uncle, a rough husband who is away all the time, and the Gu family's poverty and debt, she used her cooking skills to make snacks and embroidery in exchange for money, first to provide food and clothing, and then to resolve the debt, so that her brother-in-law could go to school, and gradually gained the approval of her mother-in-law. After her husband Gu Jingchuan (a police officer) returns, the two work together to deal with disturbances such as family recognition in the Hou Mansion and neighborhood conflicts. In the end, the Gu family develops from a shabby house in Sustain to a famous and prosperous family in Qinghe County, and at the same time reaps the happiness of husband and wife.
