Lin Xiaoman has been married for three years, driven to the edge by her overbearing birth mother Su Xiufen and mean mother-in-law Zhou Guilan. Her birth mother, a retired teacher, even checks "nutrition guides" for every fruit Xiaoman eats, using "I'm doing this for you" to control her life. Her mother-in-law, a market vendor, is patriarchal and insists "daughters-in-law should serve the family," leaving cold leftovers for Xiaoman when she works late. When Xiaoman finds out she's pregnant, her birth mother immediately books a 10,000-yuan month嫂, but her mother-in-law secretly cancels it to take over. They argue so fiercely in the living room that they break bowls. Holding her prenatal checkup form, Xiaoman cries out: "Do you love me, or just love beating each other?" It's not until she finds her mother-in-law's old diary—revealing she was also abused by her own mother-in-law—and old photos in her birth mother's drawer—exposing her mother's divorce due to mother-in-law interference—that she realizes: the two "once-hurt people" have become "hurters." Can Xiaoman untie the knot of two generations of mother-in-law conflicts and bring warmth back to the family?
