On the day she retired at the age of 50, Wang Xiulan got three things: her retirement certificate, a screening report that said "suspected of malignancy", and her husband's final version of the divorce agreement. When the cooling-off period expired, she gave up the fight for housing and only got back her salary card with a balance of 798 yuan. The daughter closed the door and the adopted son refused. That night when she walked to the bridge, the delivery rider Su Qing grabbed her. A formal review proved that the so-called malignant disease was a filming mistake, but Wang Xiulan did not look back. She dug out the pickle recipe left by her mother, and she and Su Qing started from applying for certificates, sending for inspections, and recording batches, and turned a jar of vegetables into a business that could support themselves. The estranged children came back to ask for forgiveness, and the feelings that were over thirty years late also came to her face; this time, she only answered according to her own rules.
