In an ordinary residential building in Beijing, Li Ting and Zhao Yue, close relatives of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, unexpectedly ushered in a common joy at a certain point in their lives - the two were pregnant with a child almost at the same time. This surprise caused a lot of shock in the family, especially Li Ting, as the virtuous daughter-in-law of the family, and Zhao Yue, the gentle and lovely sister-in-law, both have longing and expectations for the role of the mother.
The elders of the family, the queen mother, showed rare fairness in the face of this sudden double happiness. She decided that after the birth of the two mothers-to-be, they would be cared for equally, ensuring that they would receive adequate rest and care after the birth. However, life is always full of uncertainties, and the seemingly balanced family relationship has also quietly changed in the daily relationship.
With the passage of time, the Queen Mother's concern for Zhao Yue seems to gradually surpass Li Ting. This change may not be noticeable at first, but over time, it has become increasingly difficult to ignore. When Li Ting was busy in the kitchen, she often saw the Queen Mother and Zhao Yue talking and laughing in the living room, but she seemed to have become a "transparent person" in the family. Zhao Yue also tried to share the housework, but was often dissuaded by the queen mother on the grounds that "his body has not recovered".
Such a scene made Li Ting's heart mixed. She understands that as a member of the family, she should try to be as tolerant and understanding as possible. But the sense of loss in her heart came like a tide, and she couldn't let go. Especially when she saw Zhao Yue's child getting more attention from the queen mother, she felt an unspeakable grievance.
As time passed, this emotion accumulated more and more in Li Ting's heart. She began to doubt her status and value in this family, and she also began to have a subtle estrangement between the Queen Mother and Zhao Yue. She tried to keep silent as much as possible, hiding her dissatisfaction in the depths of her heart, but the imbalance in her heart grew like weeds.
However, life is always full of twists and turns. Just when the family relationship was on the verge of collapse, the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill. This sudden change broke the peace at home, and also made Li Ting and Zhao Yue have to face reality. In the long corridor of the hospital, the three of them sat together, facing the uncertainty of the future, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Zhao Yue tried to comfort the Queen Mother, but her promise seemed to be only verbal comfort. As the days passed, Zhao Yue gradually faded out of taking care of the queen mother for various reasons. And Li Ting, the daughter-in-law who usually pays silently, stepped forward at this critical moment and took on the responsibility of taking care of the queen mother and the family.
During her days in the hospital, Li Ting took care of the queen mother's body and the children at home. Her figure shuttled back and forth between the hospital and her home, tired but determined. And Zhao Yue's evasion and selfish behavior made her feel cold and disappointed.
As time passed, the Queen Mother's condition gradually improved, but the conflicts in the family also began to gradually come to light. Li Ting's dedication and efforts were ignored, and Zhao Yue's evasion and selfishness were magnified. In the face of such family disputes, Li Ting knew that she could not continue to be silent. She decided to face reality bravely and find a solution to her problem.
Although the road ahead is full of unknowns and challenges, Li Ting is ready. She believes that as long as the heart communicates, understands and tolerates, the family will be able to overcome the difficulties and regain the harmony and warmth of the past.
