One day, they were about to undergo an assessment to apply for a new subsidy, but unexpectedly, their son Jianhe passed away! Jianhe’s mother Yinggui and father Fuqiang, desperate to receive the subsidy, coerced Meilian into creating the illusion that Jianhe was still alive, leading to a series of absurd and comical events.
