In a quiet countryside in Sichuan, Yang Wei faces a turning point in her life. After the divorce, she returned to the three-story building where she grew up with her young children - the mother's home that was once full of warm memories. However, this place, which was supposed to be a safe harbor, made her mood ripple again because of her sister-in-law's dissatisfaction.
Yang Wei grew up with her brother and was the girl who was held in the palm of her parents' hands. But since my brother got married, the atmosphere in the house seems to have changed subtly. The addition of the sister-in-law has brought new vitality to the family, but it has also invisibly changed the relationship between family members. Yang Wei could feel that her brother no longer doted on her as much as before, and her sister-in-law's weight in her parents' hearts seemed to gradually surpass her.
However, things did not ease because of Yang Wei's marriage. She tasted the bitterness in her marriage, thinking that marriage was a harbor, but she never thought that she would become a lonely boat in the wind and waves. The weak emotional foundation and the intensification of the conflict with her mother-in-law finally prompted her to make the decision to divorce. Now, with no one to rely on, she has to return to her parents' home with her children, hoping to find a moment of peace.
There are enough rooms in the home, but the harbor of the soul seems to be gone. Yang Wei's return made her sister-in-law feel uneasy and dissatisfied, and she neither showed due sympathy nor provided due support for this sister-in-law who suddenly returned home, but often treated her coldly. Every time the family dinner, every kitchen encounter, the sister-in-law always shows her displeasure, intentionally or unintentionally.
At a certain dinner, Yang Wei took her children to join the family's dinner. While teasing with her mother, she happily ordered a few dishes of her favorite. When she stepped out of the kitchen and met her sister-in-law's eyes, the cold eyes made her heart surge with layers of anger. She resolutely rolled her eyes back, directly detonating the hidden contradictions. The sister-in-law's dissatisfaction finally found an outlet, and she recorded this scene and made it public, trying to get public opinion on the Internet on her side.
On the Internet, netizens have a lot of discussions about this matter. Some people think that Yang Wei should not forget that her status in the family is not what it used to be, and that she should be more humble, while others think that Yang Wei has had enough of the pain of marriage and deserves warmth and care when she returns to her parents' home. Netizens are fiercely exchanging opinions in front of the screen, but the contradictions in reality are still difficult to solve.
From an objective point of view, Yang Wei's experience is indeed sympathetic, and she needs the support and understanding of her family. But at the same time, she should also be aware that a prolonged feud with her sister-in-law could further exacerbate the rift in the family. Although emotionally, she hopes to be favored and protected by her family, but in reality, she needs to know how to find a balance between her family and sister-in-law, and strive for understanding and harmony.
After all, Yang Wei and her sister-in-law are part of this family. In this small three-story building, two women, two mothers, are maintaining the integrity of the home in their own way. For Yang Wei, it is more important to find her own foothold and seek a more stable future for herself and her children.
Perhaps, one day, when the contradictions and dissatisfaction are diluted by time, Yang Wei and her sister-in-law can find the possibility of reconciliation. At that time, they may find that each other's presence is just as important to the family. And for this family, whether as a daughter or daughter-in-law, it should be cherished and respected. Only in mutual understanding and respect can home be a real home and give everyone the warmest hug.
