At five o'clock in the morning, a cold divorce phone call tore through the foggy night, shattering Xie Ai's seven-year marriage. She was once a tough-minded girl who studied hard to pass the Class A law exam. She fell in love with police officer Zhao Cao at the party school and pursued this relationship regardless of the opinions of others. But since the engagement, the Zhao family has been plotting everything.
Tribulation came one after another after her marriage. A miscarriage left her alone to endure severe physical and mental pain. Her eldest son, Xiaoyu, was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal genetic disease, accompanied by intractable epilepsy and mental retardation. The annual rehabilitation medical expenses of more than 100,000 yuan became a bottomless pit that could not be filled. In order to take care of her son, who was prone to convulsions at any time, and her nursing baby daughter, Nian Nian, Xie Ai gave up her full-time job at a law firm and took care of childcare, recovery care, and online clerical work day and night. She worked hard all night long.
Husband Zhao Cao could not bear the heavy financial and mental pressure, so he gradually escaped from the family and met Qiu Minna, a young woman outside. Xie Ai saw him and a third party hugging each other intimately and walking into the hotel with her own eyes. She was full of forbearance just to maintain the family for her two children, but what she waited for was an ultimatum urging divorce in the early morning.
At the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two men completely broke their disguise. Zhao Cao did not want to share the high cost of his son's treatment anymore, and wanted to leave the family and go for a new and easier life. Xie Ai, who was well versed in the law, persisted calmly, determined to fight for the custody of his two children, and demanded compensation for real estate loan repayments, monthly alimony and half of his son's annual rehabilitation expenses.
After seven years of hard work, everything came to nothing. Her in-laws' plot, her husband's betrayal, and her seriously ill young son were plagued by heavy fog. Xie Ai no longer aggrieved and asked for peace, but decided to rely on the law to get the protection and justice that she and her two children deserved.
