The food poisoning occurred when Qian Dabao, the village chief of Shangshui Village, was holding a graduation banquet for his daughter. Dozens of villagers were hospitalized all at once. The culprit behind the food poisoning turned out to be the Chinese cabbage irrigated with polluted water. It's a matter of life and death, but Qian Dabao refused to believe this fact. Although there is only one factory in Shangshui Village run by his younger brother Qian Erbao, he believed what his brother said - that the factory has sewage treatment equipment. However, Man Yihua, who contracted the reservoir for fish farming, kept an eye on Qian Erbao's factory because the pollution was most evident in the reservoir. The fish she raised could not fetch a good price in the market and eventually no one wanted them.

Qian Dabao had saved Man Yihua's life, but Man Yihua did not show any gratitude. Not only did she not appreciate it, but she also thought that Qian Dabao owed her something because she didn't want to live, and it was Qian Dabao's interference that kept her alive. Therefore, Qian Dabao had to always give way to her. Their relationship was very special, naturally causing gossip among the villagers. When Man Yihua focused on the discharge of pollutants from Qian Erbao's factory, it put Qian Dabao in a very difficult situation.

Man Yihua still sent water samples from the reservoir to the Environmental Protection Bureau. Qian Erbao knew he was being watched, and he often vented his dissatisfaction with Man Yihua on Qian Dabao.

After the poisoning incident, Tao Xiaohui, the newly arrived township mayor, was very dissatisfied with Qian Dabao's performance. But they were old classmates from twenty years ago. This did not make Qian Dabao feel honored, instead, it echoed the old saying "not enemies don't meet". Originally, Qian Dabao had written a letter pursuing Tao Xiaohui, but Tao Xiaohui handed the letter over to the school, resulting in Qian Dabao being expelled. His life path changed from then on, so when the two met, it was basically "enemies meeting, their eyes red with anger." Qian Dabao harbored caution towards Tao Xiaohui, often unable to distinguish whether Tao Xiaohui was acting as a classmate or the township mayor. He often mistook criticism for harassment and concern for bait, thus creating significant differences between the two in their work.

Qian Erbao and Qian Dabao are half-brothers, but their brotherly bond is strong, and they have always lived in the same courtyard. In the poisoning incident, it was Qian Erbao who generously provided financial assistance, allowing the matter to be resolved properly. However, under Man Yihua's relentless pursuit, the sewage discharge from Qian Erbao's factory became increasingly scrutinized, and finally, a piece of paper sealed the factory. Under the pressure of production contracts, Qian Erbao took a desperate risk, tearing off the seal and secretly resuming operations.

For the present and future living environment of all the villagers, Qian Dabao was willing to sever his brotherly relationship with Qian Erbao and insisted on closing Qian Erbao's factory. Qian Erbao hugged Qian Dabao and jumped into the well, but unexpectedly, Man Yihua threw Qian Erbao's wife, Zhou Lingling, into the well. With life and death hanging in the balance, Qian Erbao saw no retreat from Qian Dabao, and decided to cut off the brotherly relationship. The factory was completely shut down, Qian Erbao went to jail for tax evasion, and his wife returned to her parents' home. The usually bustling small yard suddenly became empty.

The villagers all supported Qian Dabao, and Tao Xiaohui also saw Qian Dabao's sense of responsibility in serving the villagers, inevitably developing some feelings for this old classmate. She took Qian Dabao to Beijing to visit the construction of new socialist countryside, which made Man Yihua, who had been emotionally "ready except for the east wind" with Qian Dabao, feel lost.

When Qian Erbao came out and found out that it was Man Yihua who paid his taxes for him, he still relentlessly pursued Man Yihua for reporting him. In his destitute state, he constantly clashed with Qian Dabao, creating problems everywhere. He felt that human relationships were like paper - when he was capable, everyone looked up to him, now they all look down on him. Thus, Qian Erbao gave up. When his son Qian Dui fell ill, Qian Erbao, who had always thought he had no more glory or face in front of the whole village, saw friendship and love, which moved him. He realized that running such a factory was wrong for everyone.

Under the guidance of the Party's enriching policies and through everyone's joint efforts, Shangshui Village regained its former beauty and abundance. At the establishment conference of the Fishery Company and the Ecotourism Agriculture Consortium, Qian Erbao never expected that he would be given important responsibilities...
