Lin Mo accompanies his wife, Cheng Yue, back to their hometown for her younger brother Cheng Jie's wedding. Cheng Jie and his bride, Shi Yue, are displeased with the 100,000 yuan gift money from Lin Mo, finding it too little, and publicly humiliate him at the wedding. Despite Lin Mo repeatedly reminding them of the company's dire financial situation, facing a broken capital chain, and being unable to pay rent and salaries, Cheng Yue, driven by extreme vanity and pressured by her parents' "advance by retreat" moral blackmail and the gossip of neighbors, not only promises to buy her brother a new car and build him a house, but also falsely claims Lin Mo has secured a huge investment and will cover a massive dowry. Lin Mo, completely despairing of Cheng Yue's "supporting her brother at all costs" behavior, which disregards their own family's well-being, issues a divorce ultimatum.
