1963, Qingshan Village.

Eight-year-old Su Niannian dragged along her five-year-old brother as they cared for their critically ill mother. Her awful grandmother and uncle's family bullied them so badly they couldn't even get enough coarse grains to eat.

Their father was gone, their mother was sick, and their grandmother wanted to sell her off for a bride price so her cousin could get married.

With nowhere else to turn, the siblings found a glowing door behind the stove in their old house.

On the other side was a massive wholesale market!

Vegetables, meat, seafood, household goods... It had everything!

While other children were still chewing tree bark, Su Niannian and her brother had already found vegetables and fruit that looked imperfect but were perfectly edible in the market's trash bins.

While other families were worrying about having enough food, Su Niannian had learned to sell the uncontaminated mountain goods, wild vegetables, and free-range eggs from the 1960s in the modern world, trading them for rice, white flour, and medicine.

The awful grandmother: "That wretched girl must have stolen something! Make her hand over the food!"

Su Niannian smiled faintly and cut ties with that awful family once and for all, right in front of the entire village!

Hoping to mooch off her? Sorry, not a chance.

Everyone in the village thought the widowed mother and her children would starve to death, but their lives just kept getting better!

One day, five-year-old Su Xiaoman said in her babyish voice, "Big Sis, the man at the market said our mushrooms are worth more than gold!"

Su Niannian patted her brother on the head. "Keep your voice down. Let's get rich quietly."
