Dai Xiaxia’s motto: “Dignified in public, a little unhinged in private. That’s just life.”

Her mother is dead, her father has run off, her older brother is sick, and her younger siblings are still little. It’s a disaster from the start. Their family can’t afford to have money, because the moment they do, they’re poor again.

After a dream, Dai Xiaxia sends her brother off to marry into his wife’s family.

“Big Brother, marry into her family!”

“Will she feed me well, give me nice clothes, and make sure I’m comfortable?”

“She’d be willing to mourn you for the rest of her life if you died. What do you think?”

After sending her brother off to marry into his wife’s family, Dai Xiaxia starts collecting scrap. Bottles? She’ll take them. Soap? She’ll take it. Scrap metal? She’ll take it. Scumbags? She’ll take them too. Why shouldn’t scumbags count as scrap? She earns and spends, spends and earns. The more she earns, the more she spends.

Her little sister makes something of herself, and her little brother... grows up (thank goodness). Her scumbag dad comes back. He’s back? Then he can be collected as scrap too!
