Little Xueqiu was seen as a jinx by her birth father, stepmother, and neighbors from the time she was little.
They sold her off for a single silver dollar.
They’d been looking forward to the Governor’s Mansion suffering after buying her.
But they soon realized that Little Xueqiu had brought the mansion endless good fortune!
The Governor: “Little girl, you’re clearly a lucky star. Why do your birth father, stepmother, and neighbors see you as a jinx?”
Little Xueqiu: “Maybe... maybe it’s because they always bully me! Governor Daddy is so good to me. You’re sure to have great luck and good fortune.”
And indeed, the Governor’s Mansion, whose good fortune had run out, finally got a new lease on life.
His son, who was near death, made a complete recovery in a single day.
The dragon-blood tree, a symbol of the family’s fortune, came back to life.
A baby who had died in the womb was brought back to life...
And that wasn’t all. The Governor discovered that Little Xueqiu seemed able to claim kinship with absolutely anyone.
It hadn’t rained in the city for ages. Little Xueqiu pouted at the sky. “Grandpa Sky, please make it rain soon! I heard Little Fish Sister say they’re going to die!”
And the heavens really did send down a torrential rain!
The crops in the fields were all drying up. Little Xueqiu called out to the earth. “Uncle Earth, I want egg fried rice made with fresh rice. Please think of something! Tell the Auntie Crops to ripen soon!”
The very next day, the crops that had been withered were suddenly ready for a bumper harvest!
From then on, everyone in the city knew that Little Xueqiu was their blessed baby, sent to bring them good fortune!
What? People from another city want to steal their lucky baby?
Then the whole city should grab their weapons and protect the blessed child!
