Young-shik, a poor tenant farmer, hears the words of Sujae who is looking for gold, and begins to search for gold in his bean field. He digs up the entire field at a time when the beans should be growing, dreaming of making a fortune, but he doesn’t find any gold.

This work shows the poverty of rural life in a humorous manner. It reflects rural life in the 1930s.

1935년 잡지 <개벽>에 발표된 단편소설이다. 이 작품은 농촌 생활의 궁핍함을 보여주면서도 그것을 해학적으로 표현한다. 1930년대의 농촌 생활을 반영했다는 평을 받는다.
