How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies

Mengju gathers with her adult children — Sew, Kiang, and Soei — to honor the Qingming Festival. This occasion serves as a solemn reminder of family bonds and the importance of ancestral respect.

During the family gathering, Mengju expresses her desire to be buried on a grand plot, though she acknowledges it comes with a significant cost. This revelation begins to shape the family's actions and motivations as they grapple with her wishes.

After a fall, Mengju is treated in the hospital where doctors reveal the devastating news of her late-stage stomach cancer. The family decides to keep this life-altering diagnosis a secret from Mengju, complicating their interactions moving forward.

In the wake of M's paternal grandfather's death, the bulk of the inheritance goes to Mui, M’s cousin. This situation stirs feelings of rivalry and envy in M, who seeks to secure his own future and that of Mengju.

As M transitions into caring for Mengju, he prepares her house for sale, illustrating both his commitment and struggles. His initial connection with Mengju is fraught with tension due to her demanding personality and his own uncertainties.

M learns the complexities of Mengju's daily life by taking over her role as a street congee vendor. This experience exposes him to challenges he never anticipated while fostering a deeper understanding between him and Mengju.

During a family gathering, Mengju discovers that M has revealed her health condition, leading family members to discuss various care options. This situation heightens M's suspicions about the family's true intentions.

The family visits the Golden Mount at Wat Saket, and M uncovers selfish motivations behind Kiang's gestures. M buys new shoes for Mengju, reinforcing their bond as she chooses to remain with him instead of moving in with her stockbroker son.

Chaos erupts when Mengju discovers Soei has stolen ฿200,000 from her kitchen for gambling. M helps Soei out while concealing the truth from Mengju, showcasing the tangled web of family loyalties and deceit.

Mengju introduces M to her wealthy brother, asking for help with her burial plot wishes. His refusal highlights a past of neglect towards Mengju, adding to her emotional turmoil and deepening M's resolve to assist her.

When doctors inform M that additional treatment for Mengju is futile, he chooses to lie to her about receiving supportive care instead. This decision reflects his desperate desire to maintain hope and shield her from further distress.

Kiang attempts to gain control of Mengju's home, but Sew instead gives the deed to Soei, following Mengju's wishes. Frustrated, M decides to leave, feeling the burden of family selfishness weighing heavily on him.

After declining Mui's offer of her inheritance in exchange for care, M confronts Soei and Kiang about their actions. His defiance marks a pivotal moment of loyalty to Mengju and stands against the family's materialistic tendencies.

M receives the tragic news of Mengju's passing, marking a somber turn in the family's journey. This loss ignites his resolve to honor her wishes amidst the familial chaos and conflict surrounding her legacy.

Discovering that Mengju saved money in his name since childhood, M uses these funds to procure a beautiful burial plot for her. This act symbolizes hope for family unity, as they gather together in her memory.
