The Biggest Toad in the Puddle

Storyline

Toad Village, northern China, present day. Tian Sheng and his old friend Baolai are among several workers who are affected when local mine owner Wang Liming lays off workers, still owing them three months’ wages, so Baolai decides to look for work in the city. When the village head announces that residents will be allocated plots of land in compensation for a new motorway that will be built nearby, Tian Sheng ends up with the Northern Plot, the worst of all. However, while having a hole drilled on it to find water for the house he’ll build there, he finds there’s a hot spring under his plot – which could make him rich. Suddenly everyone wants to know Tian Sheng and his family.
