Zheng Caizhen, a 47-year-old woman from Northeast China, survived an unhappy marriage for more than 20 years, but in her third month of marriage, her daughter Liu Xiaoxia discovered that her husband Liu Ping was cheating on her, the widow next door. She was neither noisy nor arrogant, and simply filed for divorce, severing half of her lifelong ties, and lived alone in the home of her daughter and son-in-law.
The embarrassment of living under someone else's roof, the entanglement of her ex-husband, the gossips of the neighbors, and the subtle prejudices of her husband's family all come one after another. She lost the cowardice of a full-time housewife, and completely awakened the toughness of a Northeastern woman in her bones. She did not suffer from misery or internal friction, and faced the coldness of human nature and the fragmentation of life.
While resolving family conflicts, they work hard to make a living, survive step by step in the trivial market, break free from the shackles of marriage, earn money to buy a house, and become self-reliant. In the world of firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can see through the warmth and warmth of human relationships, let go of your obsessions, turn against the wind, and live your life as an independent, calm and transparent self.
