In Frog Village, due to the land occupation for a highway, four households are facing relocation and allocation of residential land. To ensure fairness, everyone agrees to draw lots for the distribution; however, the honest villager Tian Sheng is bullied by Si Hun and others, ending up with a piece of undesirable land that no one wants. During the process of building and digging a well on his useless land, Tian Sheng unexpectedly strikes a hot spring, causing a sensation in the whole village. The mine owner Wang Liming uses both soft and hard tactics, employing various means to force and frame Tian Sheng into giving up the hot spring; the village bully Si Hun demands the village chief to redistribute the land and brings in a drilling team to dig towards Tian Sheng’s hot spring. Tian Sheng's wife, Xia Ying, suddenly receives a visit from an old classmate who hasn’t been seen in over a decade, showering her with gifts and invitations to dinner, aiming to get a share of the profits from the hot spring development. Everyone has their own agenda regarding this hot spring. The once peaceful life of Tian Sheng’s family is turned upside down, and as they face the threat of family separation and loss, Tian Sheng finally can’t hold on any longer and agrees to hand over the hot spring. However, he demands that mine owner Wang Liming must pay the overdue wages owed to him and his coworkers. Reluctantly, Wang Liming complies on the spot, and Si Hun even voluntarily transfers his best residential land to Tian Sheng. Just as Wang Liming invests a significant amount of money and makes a big show of attracting investment with Si Hun for development, the town chief arrives. At a meeting, the town chief presents the water quality test results, publicly exposing that the hot spring water has been contaminated due to Wang Liming’s reckless mining and cannot be developed until Wang Liming rectifies the situation and meets the standards. Wang Liming and Si Hun's plans have fallen through, and under pressure, Wang Liming cooperates with the township government to address the pollution. Tian Sheng’s family builds a new house and returns to their peaceful life.
