It is currently encoring from 1 February 2012 to 20 March 2012. It stars the award-winning veteran Hong Kong actress Louise Lee who also acted in the locally produced ''Portrait of Home'' back in 2005. The series title 麻婆斗妇 (ma po dou fu, literally translates as "old lady fights daughter-in-law") is a play on a spicy tofu and beef dish from Sichuan called "Pockmarked Lady's Beancurd" (麻婆豆腐). ==Synopsis== In her youth, Lin Baozhu had set up an "economical rice" stall with her husband who, unfortunately, died young. Under the strict control of her mother-in-law, Xiangqin, she painstakingly shouldered the responsibility of caring for the entire household. Her sister-in-law, Fenfen, helped her in the family business soon after the latter's graduation. Focusing on the home-delivery market, the family successfully established themselves in the F&B business. When Baozhu's 2 sons, the elder son Jianye and the younger son Jianhai reached adulthood, Xiangqin, before she went into "seclusion", told Baozhu to relinquish control of the family business. Fenfen was put in charge of finance, Jianye helmed Marketing and Operations, whereas Jianhai oversaw the Delivery and Kitchen Operations departments. Relieved of her burden and away from her mother-in-law's manipulation, Baozhu swore that she would be a liberal mother who would never interfere in her children's lives. But this was easier said than done. Perhaps because her mother-in-law had previously subjugated her, Baozhu unconsciously meddled in her children's careers. Inevitably, she intruded into Jianye's and his wife's lives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The In-Laws (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
