The Whole Village Forces Me to Remove the Water Pipes, Then Regrets It After Three Days Without Water
To repay a debt of gratitude, Chen Ming spent ten years installing water pipes throughout the village at cost price, always answering the villagers' calls whenever they needed him. But after being incited by Sun Yulan, the villagers accused him of being unscrupulous and demanded that he refund their money and remove the pipes. Chen Ming did as they asked, collected the dismantled materials, and sold them. The villagers hired another plumber who claimed to be cheaper, only to discover that his labor charges had doubled and his materials were secondhand. In revenge, the village elder cut the main water pipe, causing an explosion that severed his hand and left the entire village without water just before the New Year. Only then did Chen Ming reveal that he had already prepared all the necessary materials and would have provided them free of charge. When the truth came out, the Sun family paid compensation and fled. The villagers regretted their actions and apologized. Chen Ming left the past behind and joined the town's water supply department. "This is the last time. It's not forgiveness; it's goodbye."

Seluruh Kampung Memaksa Aku Membongkar Paip Air, Kemudian Menyesal Selepas Tiga Hari Tanpa Air (26 episod)
Demi membalas budi, Chen Ming menghabiskan sepuluh tahun memasang paip air untuk seluruh kampung pada harga kos dan sentiasa datang setiap kali penduduk…
Demi membalas budi, Chen Ming menghabiskan sepuluh tahun memasang paip air untuk seluruh kampung pada harga kos dan sentiasa datang setiap kali penduduk memerlukannya. Namun, selepas dihasut oleh Sun Yulan, penduduk kampung menuduhnya tidak jujur lalu memaksanya memulangkan wang dan membuka paip yang dipasang. Chen Ming menurut permintaan mereka, mengumpulkan bahan terpakai daripada kerja pembongkaran dan menjualnya. Penduduk kampung mencari tukang lain yang kononnya lebih murah, tetapi upahnya menjadi dua kali ganda dan bahan yang digunakan pula barang terpakai. Untuk membalas dendam, orang tua kampung memotong paip air utama. Paip itu meletup sehingga tangannya putus, manakala seluruh kampung terputus bekalan air menjelang Tahun Baharu Cina. Barulah Chen Ming mendedahkan bahawa dia sebenarnya sudah menyediakan semua bahan yang diperlukan dan sanggup memberikannya tanpa mengenakan bayaran sesen pun. Selepas kebenaran terbongkar, keluarga Sun membayar ganti rugi lalu melarikan diri. Penduduk kampung menyesal dan meminta maaf. Chen Ming meninggalkan masa silamnya dan bekerja di pejabat bekalan air pekan. "Ini kali terakhir. Bukan kerana aku memaafkan, tetapi kerana aku mengucapkan selamat tinggal."
