Xingxing was picked up. The five-and-a-half-year-old little girl was pretty as a picture, with soft, plump cheeks and delicate skin.
The villagers, gaunt and starving in the famine: “...”
“What does this child eat to look so healthy?!”
At first, the village chief took Xingxing in. That night, thunder boomed in the sky and lightning struck, wrecking the village chief’s house.
Zhou Laosan decided to take Xingxing in for the reward money. That night, his bed collapsed, and he injured his leg.
Rumors spread like wildfire, and everyone said little Xingxing was a jinx.
Xingxing put her hands on her hips, indignant. “Xingxing is a lucky star!”
No one believed little Xingxing was a bringer of good fortune. Only Zhou Laoda and Zhao Guihua took in the unwanted girl, and the whole family spoiled her rotten.
Later, the Zhou Laoda family’s life kept getting better and better. The villagers were all envious and asked how they’d made their fortune. Zhou Laoda gave a smug little smile. “Ever since we took in our little lucky star, I don’t know how it happened, but somehow we got rich.”
The villagers were filled with regret and all wanted to bask in Xingxing’s good luck. Xingxing hurried home with a patter of little steps. “No sharing, no sharing! I’m Zhou Xingxing of the Zhou family now.”
