The Cotton Picker Dispute
Xu Jiahe, a cotton picker operator, kindly offers to harvest cotton in Liuwan Village at a low price. However, Liu Guizhi tries to take advantage of him by understating the size of her cotton fields and then making excuses to demand extra money after the harvest. She forces him to work an entire day for nothing and even pay an additional 1,000 yuan just to leave. Heartbroken, Xu Jiahe leaves and heads to Qingling Village, where people play by the rules. Once word spreads, all the cotton picker operators begin avoiding Liuwan Village because of Liu Guizhi's dishonesty. When rainy weather approaches, even her offer to pay higher prices cannot persuade anyone to take the job.

Xu Jiahe, operator mesin pemetik kapas, dengan niat baik menawarkan jasa memanen kapas di Desa Liuwan dengan harga murah. Namun, Liu Guizhi justru mengambil keuntungan dengan melaporkan luas ladang kapas lebih kecil dari sebenarnya, lalu mencari-cari alasan untuk memeras uang tambahan setelah panen selesai. Akibatnya, Xu Jiahe dipaksa bekerja seharian tanpa bayaran, bahkan harus membayar tambahan 1.000 yuan agar bisa pergi. Kecewa dan sakit hati, Xu Jiahe meninggalkan desa tersebut dan beralih memanen kapas di Desa Qingling, tempat orang-orang menaati aturan. Setelah kejadian itu tersebar, semua operator mesin pemetik kapas mulai menghindari Desa Liuwan karena Liu Guizhi telah kehilangan kepercayaan mereka. Ketika musim hujan tiba, meskipun Liu Guizhi menawarkan bayaran lebih tinggi, tak seorang pun berani menerima pekerjaannya.
