Office worker Li Mengran just got torn apart by her client. When she returns home, she finds her mom Zhao Huinan—looking exactly as she did twenty years ago—standing in her rental with a washboard. It turns out Mom was about to confront Dad for coming home late back then, but accidentally traveled to the present. Mistaking Mengran for being bullied by a “scumbag,” Mom waves the washboard to “avenge” her, only to uncover Mengran’s hidden breakdown from overtime and unspoken workplace grievances. Meanwhile, the truth behind Dad’s “washboard kneeling” is revealed—it was a cover for him saving half a month’s salary to buy Mom a birthday necklace. As Mom’s old-school “direct care” clashes with Mengran’s “pretended strength,” a cross-temporal “love unmasking” helps both mother and daughter understand the tenderness hidden in their “toughness” and “obedience.”
