Although a legal mediation leads to a settlement, the rift between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law remains difficult to fully repair. The story ends with both sides trying to move forward and make efforts to reconcile, yet they still maintain a distance. It reveals the pain and growth within family relationships and the reality of seeking balance amidst ongoing conflicts.
