During the autumn harvest, consecutive days of rain put villagers' damp grain at risk of spoiling. Chen Shoutian's family, guarding two grain dryers, worked day and night to save grain for the folks. Liu Mancang, a major grain grower, owed old debts and demanded credit, price discounts, and queue jumping using personal connections, putting Chen Shoutian—who already bore loan and operational pressures—in a dilemma. Facing doubts and obstructions, Chen Shoutian insisted on fair queuing and transparent pricing, and actively coordinated machine capacity to help farmers whose grain was heating up reduce losses. With the joint efforts of his wife Sun Xiulan and the workers, the drying house gradually improved its grain inspection, sample retention, and settlement records, winning the trust of villagers and out-of-village cooperatives with a serious and responsible attitude.
