Chen Dashan is a hardworking and practical country man. However, after getting married, he faces endless demands from his mother-in-law, wife, and younger brother-in-law. They even covet the life-saving money set aside for his father's surgery and the family's ancestral homestead, going so far as to demand that his parents live in a pigsty. Determined to protect his family and stand by his principles, he decisively ends this unbalanced marriage and takes responsibility for his family and his father's medical treatment. Afterwards, he takes the lead in establishing an agricultural and sideline products transportation cooperative, guiding the villagers of Chenjia Village in developing green agriculture, opening up markets for their produce, and protecting the rural environment. Through honest hard work, he builds a life of confidence and prosperity, bringing a brighter future to both his family and the entire village.
