Sweet corn buyer Zhou Lei gets an early morning vision warning, and tells the villagers to sell their grain before the rising water. Suspecting him of lowering prices, Liu Jianguo leads a contract breach to resell to a food factory, leaving only Wang Lan to keep her promise and deliver goods. As the flood approaches, villagers hoard grain and refuse to sell, missing the timing and damaging the corn quality, which in turn forces Zhou Lei to cover the bottom line and make up price differences, while also misusing his name to contact buyers. Zhou Lei sticks strictly to the rules, protecting only the contract-abiding farmers. The villagers eat the bitter fruit of their own actions, and next year no one leaves room for luck.
