“Mom, Boye is about to start a family, and Boyu will be starting high school soon. Even though you’re a grandmother, shouldn’t you give them something?” Tang Dawei is the eldest daughter of the Tang family. More than a decade ago, she went to South Africa with her husband to work in the mining industry. After returning, she opened a jewelry store. Her wealth is... beyond measure, yet she scrimps and saves and is very frugal.
“Mom, we’re going to Mount Wutai next month. Come with us. It’ll be good for you, too.” Tang Weidi, the second Tang daughter, never went to school and is the least attractive of the three sisters. Kindheartedness is rare in her, but at thirty she found Buddhism and became a devout believer. She is always looking for ways to help others, though her good intentions often backfire.
“Mom, Big Sis docked my allowance again this month.” Tang Aijuan is the youngest of the Tang family. She grew up utterly spoiled and is the only one of the sisters to go to college. After graduating, she drifted aimlessly for years. Her eldest sister eventually entrusted her with running a jewelry store, but Miss Tang spends all her time out with her no-good friends, driving Tang Dawei so crazy she can hardly keep from taking the shop back.
They’re family, so even if they rub each other the wrong way, they’re still family. But as the two elders who hold the family together grow older, who will be able to take charge?
