Drama pendek berlatar zaman dahulu ini memasuki musim kedua. Zhou Jichuan kini sudah berkeluarga dan mempunyai anak. Dengan berbekalkan pengetahuan tentang keadaan sungai yang diwarisi turun-temurun, dia membantu para jurutera mengelakkan bahaya tersembunyi di bawah air, sekali gus memastikan pembinaan jambatan baharu berjalan lancar. Namun, bapa saudaranya yang lebih tua, Zhou Degui, ketagih berjudi lalu menggadaikan geran tanah jeti feri lama kepada Tuan Cao Ketiga, seorang pembuli berpengaruh di kawasan itu yang berniat merampas jeti tersebut. Demi melindungi jeti feri kebajikan yang ditinggalkan oleh bapanya, Zhou Jichuan mempelopori penubuhan persatuan pengurusan air, membersihkan cabang sungai dan mengukuhkan benteng tebing. Isterinya, Shen Yuning, berani berulang-alik untuk berunding dan mencari penyelesaian. Selepas jatuh melarat, Zhou Degui akhirnya sedar akan kesilapannya, bertaubat dan mula bekerja dengan tekun untuk memperbaiki diri. Zhou Jichuan berganding bahu dengan lebih 300 penduduk daripada dua belas kampung di kedua-dua tebing sungai untuk mengemukakan petisyen bersama dan mempertahankan hak mereka dengan alasan yang kukuh.
