The Whole Family Crosses to an Island While Fleeing Famine in the 1960s!

Shiluo Island was turned upside down by the Shen family!

Who could have guessed that Shen Dafan's wife, old enough to be a grandmother, would have a baby girl in her later years? The little girl was fair and delicate, and they named her Shen Lingbao!

No one knew the enormous secret hidden in this fisherman's courtyard:

A bolt of lightning struck and sent all thirteen members of the Shen family, who were barely surviving in a time of chaos, straight to a peaceful island in 1965!

The couple, three pairs of sons and daughters-in-law, four grandchildren, and their new little girl had all crawled out of piles of corpses. They'd chewed tree bark, weathered great disasters, and barely managed to survive.

Now there were relief supplies on the island and more fish and shrimp in the sea than they could ever catch. This place was their salvation, and they were determined to hold on to their peaceful life!

Shen Lingbao became the apple of the entire Shen family's eye, their beloved little lucky star!

The island's gossipy old women grew jealous when they saw her. "She's just a girl. Is she really worth treating like a little empress? Are you going to stop caring about your four grandsons?"

The moment those words left her mouth, the Shen family erupted!

The third brother clenched his fists, his gaze fierce. The third sister-in-law put her hands on her hips and launched into a tirade. Even the little nephew clenched his small fists and glared. "Shut your mouth! My little aunt is a blessing from the heavens. Keep talking nonsense and I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Outsiders laughed that the Shen family had gone crazy spoiling a child, but the Shen family knew the truth: those people didn't understand a thing!

Ever since Lingbao was born, good fortune had come pouring down on the Shen family!

The eldest brother took her fishing. Wherever her little finger pointed, he cast his net, and every haul was full of valuable fish.

The second brother took her to the market. She casually pointed at a clod of dirt, and when they dug it up, they found grain ration coupons and industrial ration coupons from all over the country.

Her nephew played with her by the sea, and even a random find was a giant sea cucumber!

She wasn't just a little girl. She was the family's lucky charm, bringing them wealth!

Protecting Lingbao meant protecting the good life of the entire family!

From then on, the two elders led the way. The sons worked hard to catch fish, the daughters-in-law reclaimed land and farmed, and the nephews grew up strong. The whole family worked together, determined to put down roots on the island and build an increasingly prosperous life!

If anyone got jealous and tried to cause trouble or bully Lingbao...

They'd better remember that this family had survived a time of chaos. They were no easy targets!

If anyone dared lay a finger on their little lucky star, the whole family would make sure they regretted it!

The year Lin Shu turned seventeen, she woke up one morning with a strange new ability: she could hear the thoughts of everyone in her family.

The moment she heard them, a chill ran through her.

Her parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, younger siblings... every one of them had been reborn, while she alone remained the same pitiful girl living this life, knowing nothing.

Even worse, she uncovered a shocking secret from her sister-in-law's thoughts:

In her previous life, she had been born frail, rarely left home, and was timid and introverted. She hadn't even made it to her eighteenth birthday.

Her whole family knew she was destined to die young, but no one said it aloud. They just silently mourned her fate again and again.

If she was already close to dying, why bother pretending to be gentle and obedient?

In the past, she'd endured people pointing fingers at her and bullying her in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

But now that she knew she had little time left, Lin Shu finally let go of her inhibitions.

Whoever picked a fight with her would get one back. Whoever made things hard for her would get the same in return.

She'd stop being a pushover and quit pretending to be a frail beauty.

She expected her family to despise her, but instead their thoughts all burst out at once:

[Our girl finally dares talk back! That's my girl!]

[Whoever bullies my daughter or little sister, I'll break their legs!]

[Shushu can do whatever she wants. The whole family has her back!]

Before, she lived cautiously. Now, she could do whatever she pleased.

So what if she was frail? So what if she wouldn't live long?

In this life, she was going to live freely and happily, making up for all the things she'd never dared do in her previous life!

A little scene:

Ever since she started hearing her family's thoughts, Lin Shu's life had become more and more enjoyable!

When her leech of an uncle came to borrow money, Lin Shu clutched her chest and pretended to collapse. Her aunt was so frightened that she dragged him away, faster than a rabbit.

When a classmate mocked her as a dead girl, Lin Shu coughed up "blood" and smiled. "When I become a ghost, you'll be the first person I come for." Her classmate was terrified into tears, then brought her a box of tonics the next day to apologize.

When the neighbor sneered that she wouldn't live to eighteen and was wasting money on medicine, Lin Shu went limp and toppled to the ground. That very night, the neighbor stewed her own old hen and brought it over, smiling and saying all the right things.

Before, she endured, gave in, and kept out of people's way, but they only took it as permission to go further.

Now she did as she pleased, faked injuries, and shamelessly played the invalid. In return, everyone gave way to her, feared her, and humored her.

After all, she was a pitiful little girl who wouldn't live long, wasn't she?
