A-chun is the newly-weded wife of TSAI Ri-sheng, the eldest son of tenant farmer TSAI Tu-shui. Because of the household’s poverty and the lack of an ox to help plow the fields, Ri-sheng is loaded down by his cares and becomes gravely ill. Kind-hearted landlord CHEN Jin-ding takes Ri-sheng to Ci-ai Hospital in Beigang County, headed by CHEN’s relative, LIN Bo-yuan, but it is too late, and Ri-sheng cannot be saved.In this desperate situation, CHEN Jin-ding makes a bold request of TSAI Tu-shui: He will adopt the child borne by daughter-in-law A-chun. To repay the landlord’s kindness in trying to save her dying husband and to fulfill Ri-sheng’s last wishes, A-chun agrees to let CHEN adopt the child in return for an ox. This transaction transforms the relationship between the two households from a simple landlord and tenant arrangement to an inseparable bond.
