Lin Jianguo, an honest and hardworking farmer who tilled the land his entire life, was bullied by Zhao Dewang—the village tyrant. Zhao deliberately herded his sheep into Lin's fields; when Lin tried to drive the sheep away, Zhao set his dog on him, biting off Lin's leg. Lin Mo, Lin's son studying at university, learned of his father's abuse, rushed back to the village, and devised a meticulous revenge plan against the Zhao family.
