Li Ming funded the construction of an irrigation canal for the entire village. Fearing that his way of making money by selling well water would be cut off, Wang Zhanshan lay on the ground and extorted eighty thousand in water passage fees. Li Ming preferred to spend an extra one hundred twenty thousand to reroute the line rather than compromise. Wang Zhanshan then tore up the free canal connection consent form, refused to repair a standard canal, and greedily built a twenty thousand makeshift canal. During the water test, he arbitrarily turned on a high water volume, leading to a collapse. The corn yield decreased and was mixed, leading to rejection and collection, resulting in heavy losses. In the end, he paid eighty-six thousand out of his own pocket to rebuild the standard canal, finally understanding that blocking other people's water in the end floods oneself.
