A car accident sent Lin Xiao's parents into emergency surgery.
To save them, Lin Xiao sold her house for next to nothing, and only then managed to pull them back from the brink of death.
But when she turned around, she discovered that the sixth uncle who claimed he had no money to repay her medical bills had brought people to build a house on her father's homestead!
Fine, just fine. You have money to build a house but none to pay me back, is that it?
When Lin Xiao's jinxing words came true, the sixth uncle was hit in the face by falling plaster that very night, the sixth aunt's whole flock of chickens died, and the foreman digging up her family's homestead was left bleeding on the spot!
Thank goodness Heaven has eyes. Retribution came right on cue!
To an only child, Shanjian Village was a prison, a muddy pit, the hometown her parents were determined to leave with her.
Even when you were clearly in the right, there were too many outdated customs and rules here, along with blatant preference for boys over girls.
But for her parents, and for the orchard her grandfather had left behind, Lin Xiao could only fight to carve out a path for herself in the village!
When the law can't reach them, let retribution do the job. And if retribution isn't satisfying enough, use the law!
