In a rural village where extravagant banquets and ever-increasing gift-giving obligations have become the norm, Old Zhang receives one invitation after another and can no longer bear the financial burden. In a fit of frustration, he decides to throw a banquet for his family's newborn piglets. On the day of the feast, Aunt Zhou, a jealous neighbor who loves inventing excuses to collect money, calls in reporters to expose him. Instead, her own schemes are revealed: for years, she has been organizing banquets under one pretext after another just to pocket people's gift money. Old Zhang openly speaks out about the absurd banquet culture in the village and publicly returns every single gift payment in full, then invites all the villagers to enjoy a free feast. The media reports the story, earning widespread praise and prompting the village to tackle these unhealthy customs and secure a public-benefit road improvement project. Meanwhile, Aunt Zhou's attempt to imitate the money-making scheme ends in an embarrassingly empty banquet. This story reminds everyone to abandon the unhealthy habit of competing through social obligations and rediscover the values of simplicity, sincerity, and kindness.
