Hu Guifen of Liuwan Village has always been notoriously stingy. For over a decade, whenever villagers celebrated weddings or other happy occasions, she would give just 10 yuan, a few eggs, or a couple of ears of corn. She would also regularly bring extra guests to their banquets and pack up food to take home. Now that her son is getting married, however, she expects to receive generous cash gifts in return. On the wedding day, villagers from across the entire village arrive with the exact same kinds of gifts she once gave them: eggs, chives, corn, and even a toad, one after another, leaving Hu Guifen publicly humiliated. Despite her mother-in-law's unreasonable demands, the bride, Xu Yutong, insists on treating the villagers kindly. After the wedding banquet, the villagers secretly give the newlyweds genuine wedding cash gifts. The old debts have been settled, but the bonds of friendship remain, and the young couple finally learns the true meaning of give and take.
