If You Won't Pay 88,000, Nobody Gets to Build This Road
Building a road in the village should have been a great public-spirited undertaking that benefited everyone. However, Zhou Chuan's second uncle, Zhou Dewang, obstructs the project on the grounds of feng shui and demands 88,000 yuan as a fee to ward off evil spirits, bringing construction to a standstill. Unwilling to give in to unreasonable demands, Zhou Chuan decides to reroute the road in accordance with the law, even if it costs an additional 140,000 yuan, so that the road can be completed. Once the new road opens, the entire village benefits, while the stretch in front of Zhou Dewang's house remains a muddy track. As his son's wedding runs into difficulties and his agritourism business suffers, Zhou Dewang gradually experiences the consequences of his own choices. Faced with reality, he finally understands that what truly brings prosperity is not superstition and scheming, but solid roads and the goodwill of the people.

Ang pagpapatayo ng kalsada sa nayon ay dapat sana'y isang mabuting proyektong pakikinabangan ng lahat ng residente. Ngunit hinarang ni Zhou Dewang, pangalawang tiyuhin ni Zhou Chuan, ang proyekto dahil sa feng shui at humingi ng 88,000 yuan bilang bayad sa ritwal na magtataboy sa masasamang espiritu, kaya natigil ang konstruksyon. Ayaw ni Zhou Chuan na magpasakop sa hindi makatarungang kahilingan, kaya nagpasya siyang ilipat ang ruta alinsunod sa batas. Kahit gumastos pa siya ng dagdag na 140,000 yuan, determinado siyang matapos ang kalsada. Nang mabuksan ang bagong kalsada, buong nayon ang nakinabang, maliban sa harap ng bahay ni Zhou Dewang na nanatiling maputik na daan. Nang maantala ang kasal ng kanyang anak at maapektuhan ang negosyo niyang turismo sa bukid, unti-unting naranasan ni Zhou Dewang ang mga bunga ng sarili niyang mga desisyon. Sa harap ng realidad, sa wakas ay naunawaan niyang hindi pamahiin at panlalamang ang tunay na nagdadala ng suwerte, kundi maayos na kalsada at mabuting ugnayan ng mga tao.
