As Mid-Autumn Festival approached, crabs from Lujia Village in Panjin were about to hit the market. Buyer Lu Mingchuan sensed an impending abnormal heatwave and returned to the village with transport trucks, offering to buy standard crabs at 35 yuan per pound and advising villagers to sell early. However, his older brother Lu Minghai believed he was making unethical profits. Leveraging his status as the eldest son of the Lu family, he led the villagers to refuse to sell, insisting on waiting for 50 yuan. Unable to persuade them, Lu Mingchuan went to neighboring villages to organize purchases instead. A sudden scorching heatwave hit, rivers ran dry, pond water turned scalding hot, and crabs died en masse. Lu Minghai scrambled to find buyers everywhere, but due to broken promises and spoiled goods, he was repeatedly rejected. In the end, he had to lead the villagers to beg at his younger brother's doorstep.
