Lee Jun is Lee Dahai's neighbor on Meishan Island, Zhejiang Province. One year ago, Lee Jun borrowed fifty thousand yuan from Lee Dahai to expanding fields and promised he would pay back the debts a year later. However, Lee Jun's flower business didn't go well. When the due date comes, he can't pay back the borrowed money.

Lee Dahai isn't wealthy either. He asks Lee Jun to raise money and pay off his debts. After several times of warning, Lee Jun still doesn't return the money. So the debt collector goes to Lee Jun's home for money from time to time.
Soon, all the villagers know Lee Jun owns Lee Dahai money. Unfortunately, Lee Jun is a vain man. He hates to lose face in front of the villagers. As Lee Dahai shows no respect for him, he decides to break relations with Lee Dahai.
But even breaking relations can't work off Lee Jun's anger. Suddenly, Lee Jun comes up with an idea. Since both of their surnames are Lee, Lee Jun decides to change his son's name to Lee Dahai, his enemy's name. In this way, Lee Jun can lecture his son by calling his enemy Lee Dahai's name.
From then on, villagers always hear Lee Jun shouts at his son. "Lee Dahai, you idiot, come home and dig in! How dare you let me wait for you?" Lee Jun always shouts with his bluster directed against his neighbor-the real Lee Dahai.
Lee Dahai is so angry that he files a lawsuit against Lee Jun asking him to pay back the money and stop calling his son Lee Dahai. After figuring out the main contradiction between the two villagers, the judge persuades Lee Jun that he should change his son's name back. The judge said: "As your son was born in the year of goat (Chinese Zodiac), you can not call him Dahai (Dahai means sea in Chinese), because goat is afraid of water. You know." Lee Jun believes in judge's words and agrees to pay his debts by installments. Finally, the two old friends shake their hands awkwardly.
