[Farming + adorable baby + doted-on by all + fierce beasts cuddling up + mountain and sea foraging + management and development]
Song Qiuguo, an orphaned forest ranger buried in debt, is cornered on a sheer cliff by a bloodthirsty giant wolf.
She thinks her life is over, but the vicious giant wolf suddenly flops down, revealing a soft little child with a high ponytail on its back:
"Big Gray, don't be fierce! Yuanyuan chose this beautiful mommy herself!"
The village tyrant comes to kick down the door, demand repayment, and snatch the child. Yuanyuan sniffs and says, "Uncle, there are three giant centipedes in your trouser leg!"
The village tyrant is bitten until he cries out for his parents!
The entire village laughs at Qiuguo for being a fool and contracting a barren, sinister wasteland to wait for death;
Who could have known that just after the contract is stamped, Yuanyuan would pull Mommy along and dig up a century-old premium wild purple lingzhi with a single hoe, smashing thirty taels of silver on the spot and leaving the entire clan stunned!
That night, a huge iron pot in the broken house boils ten pounds of pork belly with skin on. The rich aroma of meat drifts downwind and makes the entire village drool!
Other people farm by relying on the weather. Qiuguo farms by relying on her mountain-god daughter:
Yuanyuan blows a little wooden whistle, and birds sweep across the sky, pecking every locust to death;
Yuanyuan pats the wolf's head, and the pack lures hundreds of wild boars into a deep pit, providing a thousand pounds of free fatty meat;
Yuanyuan steps barefoot on pine needles. "Mommy, it's warm underground. The red mushrooms and white matsutake mushrooms want some water!"
In the blink of an eye, red mushrooms sprout across the cliffs, while three hundred free-range mountain chickens fly all over the slopes!
When black-hearted merchants join forces to blacklist them, Qiuguo leads the entire village in starting a firewood workshop, and the fragrant mushroom sauce made from tribute goods spreads throughout the prefectural city!
When corrupt officials, evil gentry, and vicious constables try to forcibly claim the sacred mountain and seize the divine child Yuanyuan to take her to the capital and curry favor, everyone in the village, young and old, grabs a carrying pole and sweeps them away, blocking the village entrance:
"Anyone who dares touch our village's precious little darling will have to answer to the wolves covering these mountains and to our fists first!"
