Abandoned in the Mountains in the 1960s? Her Uncle Finds a Little Mountain Deity

[Period setting + little lucky charm + lucky koi + fearsome uncle + face-slapping the worst relatives + feel-good revenge]

Three-year-old Liu Manman was frail and often sick, so her cruel father threw her into the mountains, treating her as a burden.

The whole village thought the sickly abandoned girl wouldn't survive even one night.

But the next day, Zhao Lie, the retired, disabled veteran feared by everyone as the “Living Yama,” brought her home safe and sound.

No one knew that little Manman was actually a lingzhi mushroom reborn from beneath the Mountain God's throne.

When she went into the mountains, pheasants ran headfirst into tree stumps, and ferocious wild boars lined up to deliver giant sika deer.

A glance at the undergrowth was all it took for her to spot century-old wild ginseng, glowing gold despite being impossible for ordinary people to find.

Even her uncle's injured leg, which doctors had declared would leave him limping for life, had its shrapnel removed and fully recovered under her faint, nourishing influence.

The once-bare, dilapidated house was soon replaced by the sturdiest home in the village, and they could eat cured meat and rice at every meal.

Then the worst of the Liu family, who had once sneered at her as a “money-losing burden,” came calling under the pretext of blood ties, hoping to reclaim their lucky girl who could lay golden eggs.

Instead, the “Living Yama” uncle pinned them against the wall with one hand, fiercely protecting his little darling.

Manman clung tightly to her uncle's neck. “Uncle picked Manman up, so Manman will take care of you from now on!”

Later, Manman not only got into the provincial capital's medical school, but also led the whole village to prosperity, turning the poor mountain village into a land of gold and silver.

As for the scumbag father who abandoned her and his awful family, all they could do was watch her be doted on by her uncle and the whole village, spending the rest of their lives in regret!
