A Tank of Gas, a Favor
Lin Xiaofei runs a braised-food stall at a vegetable market. Out of kindness, she allows three fellow vendors to share her cargo van for their supply runs. The three willingly insist on paying her 100 yuan each per month for transportation. However, they soon become increasingly demanding, repeatedly breaking the rules by arriving late, piling up their goods carelessly, and even bringing live fish aboard. Zhao Mengya, an assistant market administrator, wants to undermine Lin Xiaofei in the competition for model stalls. She stirs up trouble by persuading the three vendors to question the transportation fees and demand an accounting. Lin Xiaofei decisively returns their money and cuts ties with them. Zhao Mengya then introduces her cousin's rundown van to the three, secretly enjoying free rides and kickbacks while encouraging them to write anonymous negative reviews to smear Lin Xiaofei. On the day of the competition, a typhoon strikes, and their van suffers a flat tire and breaks down. When the three vendors ask Lin Xiaofei for help, she refuses.

Lin Xiaofei, pemilik kios makanan rebus berbumbu di pasar tradisional, dengan baik hati mengizinkan tiga pedagang seprofesinya berbagi mobil bak untuk membeli persediaan dagangan. Ketiganya bahkan bersikeras membayar biaya transportasi sebesar 100 yuan per orang setiap bulan. Namun, mereka semakin lama semakin keterlaluan. Mereka sering terlambat, menumpuk barang sembarangan, bahkan membawa ikan hidup ke dalam mobil, sehingga berulang kali melanggar aturan. Zhao Mengya, wakil pengelola pasar, ingin menjatuhkan Lin Xiaofei dalam pemilihan kios percontohan. Ia menghasut ketiga pedagang tersebut agar memperhitungkan ulang dan mempertanyakan biaya transportasi. Lin Xiaofei dengan tegas mengembalikan uang mereka dan memutus hubungan dengan mereka. Zhao Mengya kemudian memperkenalkan mobil van tua milik sepupunya kepada ketiganya. Ia sendiri bisa ikut secara gratis sekaligus menerima komisi, bahkan mengarahkan mereka untuk menulis ulasan negatif anonim demi mencemarkan nama baik Lin Xiaofei. Pada hari penilaian, topan melanda, dan van tersebut mengalami ban bocor hingga mogok di tengah jalan. Ketiganya meminta bantuan, tetapi Lin Xiaofei menolak.
