Chen Mo, who is responsible for demolition and relocation work at a trillion-yuan conglomerate, comes from Lijia Village. He sincerely hopes that his fellow villagers will each receive the promised 800,000 yuan in compensation, so he returns to his hometown hiding his identity and patiently persuades the villagers to cooperate and sign the agreements. Unexpectedly, his cousin Li Minyao believes unreliable assessment figures and falsely claims that if the entire village refuses to sign, each household can receive five million yuan, encouraging the villagers to resist the demolition. His uncle Li Dong's family has their own selfish motives. They force Chen Mo to sign a document severing family ties and even assign him an old, dangerous house on the back hill, where the unusual geological conditions make disposal particularly difficult. Even Chen Mo's mother repeatedly urges him to give in and compromise. These successive incidents leave Chen Mo deeply disappointed.
