In a year of severe drought, a greedy landlord locks up the communal irrigation canal and hikes rent to seize farmland, leaving the villagers in despair. A clever young man, Shi Sheng, devises a scheme using an old gold bead: he tricks the landlord with a pig that supposedly produces gold and uses the silver from selling it to redeem the land deeds for the whole village. Facing false accusations and framing by the landlord, Shi Sheng relies on truth and justice to clear his name and help the magistrate reclaim the communal canal. Ultimately, he leads the villagers to dredge the waterways, repair the weir, and cultivate the land diligently—restoring prosperity to the barren fields and proving that true wealth never falls from the sky, but comes from running water, hard work, and unity.
