Da Zhi takes his wife, Xue Ling, and daughter, Yu Xin, to visit his mother, Lian Hua. Xue Ling has high expectations of her daughter and wants her to be multi-talented, causing Yu Xin to be stressed. Xue Ling is a sweet talker. As one who favours sons over daughters, Lian Hua dotes on her daughter-in-law, Xue Ling, more than Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao and Xue Ling don't see eye-to-eye. They even get into a dispute over the washing of dishes, eventually breaking a plate.
