At four in the morning, Lise would deliberately wake the couple up, asserting her authority in the household, refuse to leave breakfast for Nicola, and even forbid her from sitting at the table.

When Lise heard rumors that Nicola had once broken her ex-husband's leg, she became determined to separate the couple. She locked up the food, symbolizing her control over the household, but Nicola broke the lock and confronted her directly. When Lise, in a moment of anger, hit her grandson, Little Chubby, causing a rift in the family, Nicola refrained from directly confronting her mother-in-law out of respect for traditional family hierarchy.

Lise, reminded of a time when she had nearly harmed a child herself, felt a pang of guilt. Later, when Lise discovered that the couple planned to use Mancang's savings to start a business, she vehemently opposed the idea.

Lise, recalling their shared past and valuing old friendships, chose to let the matter rest. After weathering numerous conflicts, Lise gradually set aside her biases and made a heartfelt decision to embrace harmony within the family.
