Hong brought fish congee, bitter vegetables and soy sauce to Mr. Hung, making him curious and asking where she was from. She told him that her hometown was Tra Vinh, where everyone in her hometown ate fish congee like that.
Mr. Hung is sad because the fish congee reminds him of someone - Mrs. Le Thi Nha (Ai Nhu). In the flashback, he tells her about his love story.
When they were young, Hung and Nha had promised to be faithful until their hair turned gray. Hung was preparing to go far away to learn a trade and told Nha to wait until he finished his studies to get married, and at the same time, he would engrave the couple on a bracelet and a pair of earrings for Nha. Nha also gave Hung a lock of her hair.
A few months later, Hung carefully made the bracelet, waiting for the day to return home to give it to Nha. But, unexpectedly, Hung's teacher passed away.
Before he died, he asked Hung to continue his career and marry Hai - his teacher's daughter - to protect the family business.
But after Hung's teacher passed away, Hai's uncle Nam came to the house to make trouble and demand the inheritance be returned to his son, Ut.
Little Hai firmly disagreed because his father had said that Ut was addicted to playing and cockfighting and refused to work.
Uncle Nam still tried to force Hai, making her extremely miserable. Because of his gratitude to his teacher, Hung had to marry Hai to protect her and the property.
At first, they only planned to have a fake wedding, but all their relatives wanted them to have a child. Hai loved Hung, so in the end, they became a real couple.
So, because of his oath to the deceased, Mr. Hung had to bear the reputation of being ungrateful. Phan's mother knew that Mr. Hung had a lover in the countryside, so she was not happy with him.
Many times he tried to return to his hometown but Mrs. Nha had disappeared, carrying with her endless hatred...
