Qin Yunchang is eager to become the son-in-law of the Wang family in Wangjiabian, Dingshan Township. His prospective father-in-law, Wang Zhengming, is reluctant and puts obstacles in his way. Once the marriage seems inevitable, he secretly puts his future son-in-law through a series of tests. To win his place as a son-in-law of Wangjiabian, Qin Yunchang shifts the focus of his business from the provincial capital to Dingshan Township. He renegotiates the investment and development agreement with the township, fixes numerous loopholes in the original joint-development deal, increases the annual dividend opportunities and shares for poor villages, expands the development area, boosts investment, opens up cliffside and dead-end roads, builds a health and wellness resort, and creates a large-scale stage show. He hands his father-in-law a passing report card. As a result, villagers in poor communities not only receive annual dividends from unused, abandoned fields, forests, and hillsides, but also find nearby jobs and business opportunities. They grow ever more hopeful as they work toward escaping poverty, achieving prosperity, and building beautiful villages.
Wang Zhengming accepts Qin Yunchang. Qin Yunchang officially marries into the Wang family in triumph, becoming the wealthy son-in-law of a poor village.
