But soon, Wencai realizes that his future son-in-law is not his only problem. His eldest son Junji (Zhang Yaodong) is being led into risky investments by his capricious mother-in-law; his second daughter Yijun (Jeanette Aw) whom he was proud of returned from abroad without completing her degree; his neglected teenager son and daughter also get into trouble behind his back.
