The 1.8 million demolition compensation for Lin Xiaoman's parents' old house was embezzled by her cousin Lin Jianjun to pay off gambling debts. Lin Jianjun forged a will and an IOU, and gathered relatives to obstruct them. Lin Xiaoman defended her rights legally to recover the money, and discovered high-quality hot springs beneath the old house. She steadfastly guarded property rights and her bottom line, withstanding grabbing, arson, poisoning, rumors, and shoddy engineering from Lin Jianjun, President Zhao, and others. She founded a hot spring agricultural cooperative, built an agri-cultural-tourism integration project, and was ultimately selected for provincial demonstration and went to Beijing for an exhibition, leading fellow villagers to shared prosperity.
