Guests can stay in other people's houses for free because the show crew had discussed it with the villagers in advance, signed contracts, and paid rent; only then did the villagers agree to let the guests stay in their homes.
If the show crew causes damage to the houses, they will have to pay a penalty.
Zheng He, already frustrated by Chen Xixi's discouragement, now faces Li Zhen demanding compensation over a trivial matter, which made him explode angrily: "I can re-plant whatever you grew here, but paying you money is out of the question! Don't think about ripping me off!"
Li Zhen, with arms crossed in front of his chest, sneered: "I'm not ripping you off. I have a legally binding contract signed with your show crew. If you don't believe me, you can check it!"
This was the first time Zheng He had ever met someone more shameless than himself!
Qian Yue, who came to announce the expiry of their free accommodation, just happened to encounter this scene.
