Eighteen-year-old Lin Xiulan married Zhao Guoqiang, the first millionaire in the village, and they had a sweet love and gave birth to four children in a row. Unexpectedly, her husband was set up to lose all his family property and became crazy. It became a common occurrence for his fists to fall on her.
In order to survive, she abandoned her four children and fled alone to a city thousands of miles away.
She worked as a dishwasher, ran a street stall, and worked as a nanny... She started with thirty-seven yuan and spent twenty years turning a small grocery store into a supermarket chain. Just when she was about to open her tenth branch, news of her ex-husband's death came.
She thought the children would forgive her. But the four children looked at her with colder eyes than strangers - it was deep-seated hatred.
The eldest daughter is too lazy to work and talks harshly to her; her son is greedy for petty advantages and almost goes bankrupt; the younger daughter is living a life of chaos due to three divorces and three marriages. Only the second daughter watched with cold eyes, but at the most critical moment, she used data and logic to help her turn the tide.
This is the story of a mother who was crushed by fate and spent half her life putting herself back together piece by piece. It was also a reconciliation thirty years late - when the four children covered in thorns finally called out "Mom", the answer she had been waiting for her whole life finally had an echo.
