The Sincerity in the Crab Pond
Li Cong contracted the tidal flats to raise crabs, paying each household a contractual 15,000 in contracting fees. Swimming crabs surged in market value, making the villagers envious. Instigated by Uncle Wang and the village chief, they demanded a higher profit share. Uncle Wang lied about having a high-priced order, and the villagers pooled money to pay the contract breach penalty, forcing Li Cong to withdraw from the crab pond. Before leaving, Li Cong warned that a typhoon was coming and urged them to reinforce the crab pond, but the villagers ignored him. At night, he took away the crab seedlings and aquaculture equipment, and his companion leveled the flood-prevention embankment. The next day, when the villagers brought people to collect the crabs, the pond was completely empty, and they still had to pay the hotel a hefty breach of penalty, gaining nothing and losing out.

Li Cong menyewa kawasan pantai berlumpur untuk menternak ketam, membayar setiap isi rumah bayaran kontrak sebanyak 15,000 seperti yang dijanjikan. Harga ketam renjong melonjak naik, menyebabkan penduduk kampung cemburu. Dihasut oleh Wang Shu dan ketua kampung, mereka menuntut kenaikan bahagian keuntungan. Wang Shu berbohong mengatakan ada pesanan harga tinggi, dan penduduk kampung mengumpul duit untuk membayar denda pemecahan kontrak, memaksa Li Cong keluar dari kolam ketam. Sebelum pergi, Li Cong mengingatkan bahawa taufan akan melanda dan meminta mereka mengukuhkan kolam ketam, tetapi penduduk kampung tidak mempedulikannya. Pada waktu malam, dia membawa pergi benih ketam dan peralatan penternakan, manakala rakannya meratakan benteng penahan air. Keesokan harinya apabila penduduk kampung datang untuk mengambil ketam, kolam itu kosong sama sekali, dan mereka terpaksa membayar denda pemecahan kontrak yang besar kepada hotel, mendatangkan kerugian yang lebih besar daripada pulangan.
