In a harvestless famine, ten-year-old Ah Wu—thin, dark, and always in ragged, patchy clothes—is called "Crow Girl" by villagers, who claim she cursed her birth mother. After her father dies, stepmother Lin San Niang is labeled a "husband-killer," and they’re banished to a broken temple. San Niang gives Ah Wu all her grass-root porridge while eating elm bark; Ah Wu climbs two mountains at dawn to find leftover meat in the county town, gets chased by a dog and scrapes her leg, yet returns with half a piece of braised beef. Later, she learns to sell herbs and buys San Niang braised pork. Villagers say "the Crow Girl brought luck to the famine," but they know—it’s their intertwined lives that turned hardship into warmth.
