When young Lin Chuan gets married, Da Hu's family from Bailang Village blocks his wedding procession three times to extort money from him. After patiently enduring their harassment, he finally gets help from the village chief. Later, when he sets up a stall to sell meat, Da Hu's family deliberately drives down his prices and spreads malicious rumors to ruin his reputation. Lin Chuan decisively closes his stall to cut his losses and invests all his savings in leasing a barren mountain that nobody believes in. Da Hu and his son repeatedly block his way and sabotage his ranch, but Lin Chuan puts them in their place with surveillance footage, contracts, and the law. Eventually, with nowhere else to turn, the father and son come begging to Lin Chuan, who assigns them the job of cleaning cow dung.
