Guard My Own Hearth Amid the World’s Turmoil

Tang Xiaoning married into the Zhou family. On New Year’s Eve dinner, her in-laws made harsh rules and sent her to the kitchen. Even her own daughter was not allowed to sit at the table. Her husband only smoothed things over, while her in-laws looked down on her at every turn. She gathered all proof of her investment and expenses, ended the marriage decisively, and reclaimed the house that belonged to her. Free from bondage, she enjoys simple meals in peace, guarding her own quiet hearth.
