There is a small village at the foot of Liuli Mountain. There is a woman in the village named Yan Niang. Yan Niang has a son and a daughter.

Yan Niang's husband died early, and both children were brought up by Yan Niang pulling shit and urine, which was not easy. Fortunately, Ling Ling was very sensible, helping Yan Niang do this, and that at a young age, only her son Dongzi, like a child who did not grow up, played here and there every day, and occasionally got into trouble, letting Yan Niang clean up the mess for him.

As time went by, under Yan Niang's hard work, the two children gradually grew up. In order to make life easier at home, Ling Ling married a young man from the village next door when she was a teenager. The young man was a scholar. Although the family was poor, he was self-motivated.

After her daughter got married, Yan Niang wanted to save money to marry her son, so she went out to work every day. She was also frugal when she went home, and lived a very poor life. Fortunately, two years later, she relied on her own hands to let Dongzi marry a beloved girl and go home. But this daughter-in-law, Yan Niang, didn't like it very much, and always felt that she didn't seem like someone who lived a good life. But if her son wanted to die or live, he had to marry her, and there was no way, Yan Niang could only endure it.

Seeing that her son became a family and her daughter married and had children, Yan Niang's heavy burden was finally relieved, but at the moment of relaxation, she suddenly fell ill. This illness seemed to give birth to all the diseases she had not had before, so it was very serious. Ling Ling followed the scholar to the capital to take the exam, but she couldn't come back to take care of Yan Niang. Her son went to work outside every day, so the responsibility for taking care of Yan Niang fell on her daughter-in-law Yu'er.

However, after taking care of Yan Niang for a few days, Yu'er became a little impatient. Later, she was nowhere to be seen all day. Yan Niang was on the bed eating and drinking, and wanted to drink water, but she couldn't.

One day, Yan Niang wanted to get up and drink water, but as soon as she stood on the ground, her legs and feet fell, and she didn't get up for a long time. Just then, a young man from the village passed Yan Niang's house, heard the sound and walked in, helping Yan Niang up. The young man was very angry when he learned that Yan Niang was so sick that his daughter-in-law was often away from home. The young man was an orphan, because Yan Niang often helped him when he was young. The young man thanked Yan Niang from the bottom of his heart, and treated Yan Niang like his own mother.

The young man did not dislike Yan Niang's dirty at all, made her bed, scrubbed her body, and then made a lot of delicious food for Yan Niang to eat. From then on, the young man came to Yan Niang's house every day to take care of her, and under the care of the young man, Yan Niang recovered day by day. But because he was too sick before and didn't take medicine on time, Yan Niang's throat was broken and she could no longer speak.

The news that Yan Niang had become mute quickly spread throughout the village. After Yan Niang's son Dongzi learned the news, he walked on the road and felt that the villagers were saying that his mother was mute, so he began to dislike Yan Niang. At the instigation of his wife, Dongzi kicked Yan Niang out of the house and let her live in a dilapidated grass hut.

Half a year later, one day, Yan Niang's daughter Ling Ling and her son-in-law came back, and her son-in-law won the top spot on the Golden List. When they returned home and saw that Yan Niang had not only become mute, but also lived in a dilapidated grass hut, they were furious.

Later, Dongzi learned that his brother-in-law had won the champion and wanted to get some light, but he was stopped outside the door. My sister even said that there would be no such brother from now on! At that moment, Dongzi regretted the beginning. Soon after, Dongzi's wife ran away with others because she disliked Dongzi for being incapable and unable to earn money. He got drunk every day and ended up becoming a beggar.

However, the young man who had helped Yan Niang was rewarded with kindness. With Ling Ling's help, he started a business, gradually made a fortune, and finally married a beautiful wife.
