A fortune that is not too rich is like a touchstone, making it impossible for the three brothers of the Gao family to hide from it. The sudden death of Mr. Gao left an unsolvable mystery to the Gao family. Unlike the fierce competition among her younger brothers, the eldest daughter Daxiu, who has a peaceful temperament, has no intention of fighting, but her son Huo Yaoting is involved and cannot sit idly by. In addition to having to work hard to mediate between the down-and-out uncle, the honest second uncle, and the shrewd third uncle, Huo Yaoting also has to act as a firefighter putting out fires everywhere for his aunt, cousin, cousin, and all kinds of troublesome relatives. Huo Yaoting was exhausted by the unscrupulous behavior of his relatives to seize the inheritance, and he couldn't help but question whether family ties were really that vulnerable in the face of money?
