Being tortured and worried about her daughter, Mrs. Huong's (Van Phuong) health became increasingly weak and exhausted. During the days when Mrs. Huong was sick, without medicine or enough food, An (little Xu Tit) stopped Mr. Tai to ask for money to buy medicine for her mother.
Mr. Tai (Dinh Hieu) saw the figure from afar, afraid that Mrs. Mai (Thanh Hien) would hear about it, so he threw some money to An and quickly left. Before leaving, he told An not to call him father, especially in front of Mrs. Mai.
Mrs. Huong was seriously ill and could not survive. Before her last breath, she only had time to tell An a few words, hoping that her daughter would live up to the name she gave her, be patient and not fight for things that do not belong to her.
An lost his mother at the age of 10, and his situation made everyone feel sorry for him. Feeling sorry for her younger sister, Truc (little Hong Anh) begged her mother to let An move into the big house. Since Mrs. Huong passed away, Mrs. Mai often had nightmares, living in fear and not being able to sleep well. Perhaps for many reasons, Mrs. Mai finally decided to let An move into the big house.
Happy to step into the big house, An thought she would be sharing a room with Truc, but unexpectedly her sleeping place was the cold kitchen corner and of course her status was still that of a servant.
Not wanting to bring bad luck into the house, Mrs. Mai did not allow An to mourn her mother, and even ordered someone to remove Mrs. Huong's altar. Hiding his anger, An appeared obedient, following all of Mrs. Mai's orders without a single complaint. With his intelligent, cunning and extremely skillful nature, An gradually won Mrs. Mai's favor.
Seeing An obediently listening and getting the job done, Mrs. Mai was pleased and treated An more gently than before without seeing An's mysterious smile and eyes filled with hatred.
