Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Lucky Charm: Feed Me, and I'll Bring You Luck!

[Beloved by the Whole Family] [Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Lucky Charm] [Real and Fake Heiress] [Storage Space] [The Whole Family Turns Their Lives Around] [Food and Farming] [Satisfying Face-Slapping]

Three-and-a-half-year-old Jiang Manman had a strange dream.

In the dream, she wasn't the Jiang family's biological daughter in the city. She was a country girl who had been switched at birth.

The Jiang family thought she ate too much. But when they saw that the grain in the jar smelled delicious whenever she touched it, and that the vegetable seedlings shot up whenever she laid a hand on the garden, they treated her like a "lucky little tool" for the family, coaxing her, deceiving her, and exploiting her.

Later, the real heiress came home. Afraid Manman would cause trouble, the Jiang family threw her into an abandoned granary.

Hungry, Manman hugged a little iron basin and cried in grievance. "No food, and now I'm going to die too?"

When she woke up, Manman had had enough.

She tucked half a steamed corn bun into her clothes, took her little enamel cup, and snuck out of the Jiang home in the night. Then she toddled all the way back to Xinghua Valley.

There, she saw her birth family, who were supposedly so poor they couldn't even afford to eat.

Her mother was the prettiest and fiercest woman in the village. She carried sacks as easily as cotton, yet people called her a husband-killer every day.

Her father was the gentlest sickly man in the village. He coughed up three mouthfuls of blood at a time and had a black pot hung around his neck.

Her eldest brother had a bad leg, her second brother rarely spoke, her third brother had been tricked into nearly going to prison, and her fourth brother was as thin as a bean sprout.

Manman sniffled and set her little rice bowl on the table.

"Don't be scared."

"Manman is home."

"From now on, our family will have food at every meal!"

From that day on, Xinghua Valley was in an uproar.

Golden wheat grew in the Lu family's barren fields. Her sick father cleared his name and became a pillar of the farm machinery factory. Her fierce mother rose to become the women's team leader, and each of her brothers made more of himself than the last.

The Jiang family, who had once complained that she ate too much, panicked and came crying to claim her back.
