Being questioned by Ty, An pretended to cry and said that because she was greedy for the groom's family's dowry, her mother forced her to replace Truc (Le Tam Trieu Dang) as the wife of a useless man. She had no choice but to play the role of a person who was greedy for wealth and abandoned the poor, saying heartless words to make him let go, but her heart always loved only him.
Ty begged An to run away from her husband's house, saying he would take her far away and build a happy marriage with her. An resolutely refused, saying she did not want to bring shame to herself and her family. Even though her stepmother treated her badly, as a daughter, she could not do anything to bring shame to her stepmother or her parents' souls.
An cried and told all her troubles, making Ty's heart feel like it was being pricked by needles and salt. She even turned black into white, blaming everything on Truc and her mother, and Truc was the one who came up with the whole plan to incite her mother to force her to get married instead of Truc.
Like a man of deep affection, An advised Ty to get married and forget her. An even indirectly urged Ty to marry Truc because she owed him a wife, which was her.
Ty naively believed An and hated Truc's mother and daughter for making An suffer, pushing An to hell, and ruining his and An's future. Extremely angry, Ty rushed in and scolded Truc, saying disrespectful words in front of Mrs. Mai's (Thanh Hien) altar, leaving Truc shocked and confused.
Truc asked An about the truth of Ty's words. An then told Truc about Thinh's accident and disability, his mother knew from the beginning and the family of Mr. Manh (Cao Minh Dat) wanted to marry Truc, her sister was deceived by her mother, pushed into an ironic situation. An deliberately distorted the truth, put all the blame on Mrs. Mai, and she was also a victim like Truc.
Truc was extremely miserable, bowing to apologize to An on behalf of her mother. An pretended to be kind, urging Truc to take care of her mother's funeral and then go to Cao Lanh to live with Aunt Chin (Thanh Ngoc) because he was not comfortable leaving Truc alone in a makeshift hut. In fact, An was not willing to let Truc marry a rich man and continue to live a life of luxury and happiness, so he planned to stop her.
However, after much thought, she never expected her father-in-law to offer to take Truc to live with him. As a man who values love and loyalty, Mr. Manh considered it his duty to protect Truc in this situation, because she was not only the daughter of his best friend but also the sister of his daughter-in-law.
