A Handful of Scallions, Calculating Ten Years of Old Accounts
Real estate tycoon Chen Yuan, grateful for his mother's hard work, secretly establishes a vegetable market under a hidden identity. For ten years, he protects small-time vendors by charging them low rent. Unexpectedly, his kindness is repaid with greed and betrayal. Liu Cong, a vendor's son, humiliates him in public by smashing rotten eggs against him over a bunch of gifted scallions and demands 80,000 yuan in compensation. Manipulated by the prospective buyer, he also incites all the vendors to refuse to pay rent and stage a collective protest to force Chen Yuan out. Faced with mass betrayal and hired thugs sent to smash up the market, Chen Yuan decisively withdraws and reveals his true identity as the owner, launching a fierce counterattack and bringing those behind the scheme to justice. Even when the vendors kneel and beg for forgiveness, Chen Yuan refuses to indulge them any longer. He turns the property into a high-end commercial street through a land investment and redevelopment project. Deprived of the protection they once took for granted, the ungrateful vendors suffer the consequences of their actions and return to the streets, struggling to make a living.
