Reborn at the age of three, Shen Yueyue opened her eyes to find her older brother burning with a fever and her blind grandmother groping around in the dark, begging for help.
But her wicked stepmother took their grain coupons and drove them into a leaky, run-down shack.
A family-support System appeared just in time: “Help Grandma chop firewood to earn fever medicine. Sell wild vegetables at the market to earn five yuan.”
Clutching an armful of kindling, Shen Yueyue hurried off to work, and finally saved her brother.
From then on, gathering wild vegetables, running a little stall, and caring for her grandmother could all earn her life-saving medicine and money for daily expenses.
The whole village laughed at the little girl for having such a hard life, but she kept saving up points until smoke rose from the chimney of their shabby home.
By the time her father, who had abandoned his wife and child, came back to claim them, the Shen family had already turned their fortunes around.
Shen Yueyue shut the door and set the dog on him, then said in her childish voice, “It’s too late to act like my dad now!”
But when Grandma felt the old object he had handed over, her expression changed dramatically. “Yueyue, we can’t keep this!”
