share time: 2026-02-02 12:31:30

Lin Wan has been married to a mountain village for eight years. Every year, her mother-in-law stops her from returning to her hometown with excuses like "taking care of the child" or "busy farm work." Her husband Chen Mo feels sorry for her but dares not defy his mother. On Qingming Festival in the eighth year, she takes out her dowry jade bracelet and activates the "Hometown Guardian System"—when her mother-in-law says no one will look after the child, their 5-year-old son suddenly offers to wash dishes and mop the floor; when Chen Mo says he can't afford the ticket, she finds a homebound ticket discount coupon at the village entrance. The mother-in-law uses tricks from hiding her ID to faking illness, but the system always resolves it in funny and satisfying ways. When Lin Wan finally stands at her hometown village entrance, she finds Chen Mo has already loaded her luggage into the car—he saved pocket money for half a year, just wanting to "rebel" with her. A funny counterattack about going home hides the warmest tacit understanding in marriage.
