From the moment Lydia met Robb, life had been in misery. They lived together unmarried, and Lydia soon had Robb's children. But their union was strongly opposed by Lydia's father. In order to live with Robb for a long time, she left Manchester and followed Him to his native England.
The town is remote and isolated, people's concepts are conservative and old, and it is not polite to get pregnant before marriage, not to mention that Lydia still eloped with Robb without a name. Amid the skepticism and discussion, Lydia gave birth to Robb's son, Charlie, and married Robb.
After the marriage, Robb joined the army and went to the front, and Lydia looked after little Charlie alone. With no skills, no language barrier, and no financial support from her husband, Lydia had to work as a female worker in Pam's brother's factory.
But her meager income simply could not meet the living expenses of the mother and son. The rent has also been in arrears for a long time. If they don't pay their rent again, they'll be kicked out.
The financially stressed Lydia could only hide in the house silently every time the landlord came to collect the rent, to escape the landlord's responsibility.
Robb returned to town from the front lines. But not only did he not provide any financial support to Lydia and Charlie, but he also lived with his beautiful young mistress.
He took all his luggage and coldly refused Lydia's pleas for help, both breaking his vows with Lydia and abdicating his responsibilities to his son Charlie as a father.
Helpless, Lydia wrote to her father for help, but was also refused.
Before marriage, Lydia was a romantic, enthusiastic and cheerful girl, but now her poor life has made her face lose the smile on her face.
Little Charlie didn't quite understand the feelings between adults. But I also feel troubled by my mother's depression all day.
He would read stories to his secretly crying mother, and when she was alone in a daze, he would play music and invite her to dance with her.
But the little friends in school always say bad things about their mothers. In the fight against these gossip, little Charlie will always leave bruises on his body because of the fight.
Dr. Markham the Elder practiced medicine in small towns in England for many years. When the youngest daughter, Jane, was young, they left the town. After her father's death, Jane returned to England and inherited her father's mantle.
Jane met Charlie while treating him with bruises. Since they were both interested in bees, they soon became very good friends.
Jane lent Charlie books, told him about the magical powers of bees, and invited him to visit the hive in her backyard on weekends.
In nineteenth-century England, whenever something big happened in the home, people would solemnly tell the bees. Both writers and scientists believe that bees have a special connection with humans.
After learning about the bees from Jane, Charlie also begins to tell the bees about his troubles. He wanted to see the smile on his mother's face again. But what can he do to make his mother happy?
Lydia discovers the book that Jane lent to Charlie and thinks they want to have something else to do with Charlie. An angry Lydia goes to Jane's house to theorize, only to discover that Dr. Markham, whom Charlie calls, is a highly educated and affinity lady.
Jane's kindness and easy-going and care for Charlie made Lydia feel a little warmth in this cold and old England town. For the first time, she told the townspeople other than Charlie about the grievances that her husband had brought to her after marriage.
Mom laughed. Charlie happily believes that all this is at work by the magical power of the bees.
With his mother's approval, he preferred to go to Jane's back garden to pray to the bees.
Jane's role as the only female doctor in town is particularly important. But outdated ideas made the townspeople prefer to delay their illness rather than accept her help. Even the female companion who went to school together when she was young was ashamed to let her see her daughter, resulting in the loss of the little girl's life.
Of course, these things did not only happen to Jane, when dr. Markham was in office, a pregnant woman had a gynecological disease due to childbirth, but because the doctor was Jane's father, she endured ten years of illness.
Lydia was fired. Life's unhappiness makes her frequent mistakes at work.
In order to relieve the suppressed despair, she came to the bar to buy drunk. A strange man flirting with her happens to be seen by Charlie who is running around. Mother and son quarreled over this.
Jane, who was driving by, saw this and stopped to ask why.
Lydia worries about her livelihood all day because of her husband's dereliction of duty. The town's conservative concept of causing patients to delay their illness and even lose their lives also makes Jane distressed. Two lonely and lost people comforted each other and embraced each other.
Jane drove Lydia and Charlie home. Their eviction letter had been posted on their door.
Lydia had just lost her job and lost her home. The kind Jane couldn't let it go. She took their mother and son back home and made Lydia a housekeeper and took care of the housework for her.
Lydia and Charlie's lives stabilized. She slowly returned to her pre-marital state. As soon as they have time, the three of them will go out to play together.
The bees, under the meticulous care of Jane and Charlie, soon provided them with mellow and delicious honey. Their lives are warm, harmonious and peaceful.
But it wasn't long before the gossip of the town reached Lydia's ears.
Pam advises Lydia to stay away from Jane and move out of her house with Charlie. Because Jane has been in love with X since she was a child. If they stay there, both she and Charlie will be spurned by the townspeople.
When Lydia learns Jane's secret, she slowly notices the tender and always evasive look in Jane's eyes when she looks at her. But Lydia does not realize that in fact, under Jane's meticulous care and care, she has also developed feelings for Jane beyond friends.
Despite Jane's best control, because she knows what living in a conservative town means to her and Lydia's mother and son to live in a small town with the same sex. But Lydia's delicate face and frank personality made Jane unable to sustain herself. Both men were trying to restrain themselves and constantly testing each other.
Charlie sensed something unusual in her mother and Jane's expressions and behavior. The commotion of the bees made his heart anxious as well.
When Robb learns that Lydia has moved into Jane's house, he warns her that as Charlie's father, he has the right to take his son away when Lydia is accused of misconduct. He kicked the hive and angrily left Jane's house.
Lydia and Jane finally made their minds clear. Every night after Charlie fell asleep, they would kiss and touch each other, and do A without mercy.
After the two men meet up, Lydia asks about Jane's sad past being talked about by the townspeople.
Jane was once in love with a girl named Rose in the town. They meet every day to go for a walk by the lake. But no one expected Rose to be invaded by a group of bad boys by the lake. Old Dr. Markham, worried that the townspeople were talking nonsense, left the town with Jane.
But wherever they go, the secret will always go away. They have been living a life of wandering and away from the crowds. It wasn't until her father died that Jane got tired of all this and returned to the town, but after so long, people didn't seem to forget the past.
Pam's daughter falls in love with the young boy George, and the two often carry their mother Pam to the grove to meet.
When Charlie and his friends go to play in the woods, they see Anne and George doing A. He couldn't understand how Anne could like and allow George to stroke her. Shame and doubt caused him to flee there and tell the bees all about it.
But it didn't take long for the same behavior to happen to Mom and Jane. Charlie is furious, and he begins to hate Jane and insult his mother as a shameless love affair.
Faced with the betrayal of his friend and mother at the same time, Charlie, who is deeply desperate, comes to his father's house. He told Robb and Aunt Pam everything.
The gossip was confirmed in the mouth of his son. Robb felt that men's self-esteem was greatly insulted. As a man, he can cheat, but he can't tolerate his wife cheating, not to mention that the object of cheating is still a woman.
Robb threatens Lydia that if she dares to take Charlie, he will call the police and let everyone know what Lydia and Jane have done.
After Charlie was taken away, Lydia lost her soul all day. Robb doesn't take care of Charlie, and Lydia doesn't want to lose her son, but she doesn't want to leave Jane either.
After the incident, no one in Jane's studio came to see her again. But she knew that all this was just the beginning. In the coming weeks, the pressure on them will be even greater.
Even Kim, who had once admired Jane, advised Jane to break up with Lydia and leave the town to take up another job. Her medical skills are superb, and she will surely be able to establish a foothold and prestige in the local area quickly. But if Jane continues to stay in the town, he will never have any contact with his daughter Meg for her sake.
Pam was disdainful of Lydia and Jane's behavior, but did not think that his daughter Anne was pregnant with George's child before she was married. Once the news of having a child out of wedlock spreads, the reputation of their family is over.
In order to eliminate worries, Pam privately paid a woman, and Robb forcibly performed an abortion for Annie with a tube.
Despite Anne's strong resistance, she could not withstand the strength of two women and a man.
Screams and wails reached Charlie's ears. He was terrified and wanted to escape to his mother's side, but he was stopped by his father. Robb would never allow Charlie to spread any more scandals about the family.
Anne in the room gradually lost her voice. When Pam came in, Anne was already lying in a pool of blood. Fear and helplessness led her to ask little Charlie, who had just started elementary school, for help.
Unable to face what was happening at his father's house any longer, Charlie rushed out the door and ran back to his mother. He told Jane about Anne's condition. Hearing that Anne's life was in danger, Jane hurried to Pam's house.
Anne's situation was too serious. Jane suggested that Pam take Anne to the hospital for a more detailed examination and treatment. But even though his daughter had lost half her life, Pam still didn't respond to Jane's proposal. Jane knew her attitude from her silence and could only do her best to stop the bleeding for Annie.
Robb couldn't find Charlie, thinking that Lydia had snatched her son. He breaks into Jane's house, beats and insults Lydia, and pushes her to the bed, trying to force her.
Charlie heard his mother's screams and was terrified. But no matter how he knocked on the door, he couldn't open the door. In a hurry, he ran to the back garden and slapped the hive hard to wake up the sleeping bees.
The bees seemed to understand Charlie's call and flew into the room in droves, attacking Rob. Lydia also took the opportunity to knock him unconscious and escaped.
After the misunderstanding was cleared, the mother and son embraced each other and then danced in the swarm. Robb, who had never believed in the power of bees, was stunned by the scene in front of him. He did not dare to stay any longer and immediately left Jane's house.
A night of rescue saved Anne from danger. Pam couldn't say anything other than gratitude.
Lydia and Jane decide to take Charlie out of town. But Jane insisted that Lydia leave first, and when she had finished dealing with the town, she would meet her again.
Charlie could tell that Jane would never see him again in order to make him and his mother happier. The contradiction between the two friends was resolved.
When they were separated, Lydia and Jane kissed together, ignoring the eyes of everyone at the station.
If it were not for Jane's appearance, Lydia would still be depressed all day, and Lydia's love at the same time gave Jane the strength to stop wandering and live a stable life.
The craze for change rippled throughout the town. Although Tiny had never noticed it, it had already set off layers of huge waves in everyone's heart.
