In Pingfu Village, the Zhang family has three daughters.

Everyone in the village says the eldest, Zhang Huiqin, is lucky. Her husband is hardworking and dependable, her son is well-behaved and bright, and he got into top high schools and universities. By all accounts, all she has to do is wait for a comfortable life.

But after her son went to college, Zhang Huiqin began to think about going out to see the world.

And her husband supported her wholeheartedly.

That same year, Zhang Huiqin's second-youngest sister and her husband decided to open a beef noodle shop in town so their daughter could attend elementary school there. Little did they know, a nouveau riche man in town had his eye on Zhang's younger sister, and the couple nearly divorced.
