Han Wanshan poured his savings into building a chili processing plant to handle chilis for his village. His uncle Han Youde incited the villagers to forcibly divide his dividends and attempted to usurp the equipment, offering him only a monthly salary of three thousand five hundred. Heartbroken, Han Wanshan dismantled the entire set of machinery using his property ownership certificate. Qingling Village replaced them with inferior old stoves that broke down frequently, and they also faced days of continuous rain, leaving a large quantity of chilis on the verge of rotting. After Han Youde's rebate conspiracy and framing acts were exposed and he was taken away, Han Wanshan refused to cooperate again, and the villagers swallowed the bitter fruit of their greed.
