Three People, One Pot of Porridge

Xiao Li arrives at his girlfriend Xiao Qu’s home with high hopes for their future, only to find a man named Old Tan living there. Old Tan, who uses a wheelchair and struggles to speak in full sentences, stands between the couple as a living reminder of a promise Xiao Qu made to her late adoptive mother, Tan Ma: to care for Tan Ma’s disabled biological son. The small household soon turns tense as Xiao Li treats Old Tan as an obstacle and eyes the property Tan Ma left behind. He claims space in the living room, takes over the dining table, makes daily tasks difficult for Old Tan, and even considers moving him to a distant nursing home. Xiao Qu, caught between Xiao Li’s selfishness and her duty to Old Tan, repeatedly defends him and argues with Xiao Li while refusing to abandon his care. Over time, Old Tan’s quiet kindness—pointing out a leaking pipe’s exact trouble spot and using his savings to cover Xiao Li’s hospital bills—begins to soften Xiao Li’s resentment. The series can be followed on Drama4All.
