00:18:25aunt grace's laughter suddenly stops as the roar of an engine where the steel monster

00:18:39covered in metal steps out i don't even need to see his face the pounding in my blood give gives

00:20:52across the face
00:20:57aunt grace is still lying she points at my bloody wounds and lies with a straight face that i fell
00:21:02while playing but i see the neighbors shaking their heads they all know it's not true

00:21:31of

00:21:40does come to this desolate life i thought with five thousand dollars my new home would be safe i never
00:21:49expected trouble to come so fast miss ella bursts through the door and her stare at that pile of

00:23:20bread
00:23:21covered in sugar and jam aunt grace and uncle thomas pop out of nowhere one second they want to throw
00:23:28me
00:23:29into the wild and the next they put on fake smiles inside a dragon home uncle thomas grips my arm
00:23:34like
00:23:35an iron vis i know he doesn't want me he wants that blood money grandma ada acts like a lioness
00:23:43protecting
00:23:44her cub and rips up my sleeve those rotting frostbites and bruises look so layering in the sunlight look
00:23:51sir living with these two heartless scumbags leonive starves freezes and gets beaten every single day
00:23:56it's absolutely heartbreaking
00:24:06you how dare you treat a hero's only daughter like an animal
00:24:12mom is finally smiling when she smiles the wrinkles around her eyes look like pretty flowers
00:24:20if good luck is real i want to give it all to the people who treat me well
00:24:36mom says they're wild mushrooms they smell so good i don't know what they are but mom says we
00:24:44can sell them for money so they must be good golden grease bubbles in the pan the white mushrooms mom
00:24:53sliced release an incredible mind-blowing smell in the heat even bedroan papa arthur can't help but sit up
00:25:08you're clearly an angel bringing good luck yet they call you a witch bringing disaster
00:25:14what a bunch of blind idiots but the smell brings trouble too miss ella bursts in drooling so much
00:25:21it almost drips into our pot she points to the air in her belly and demands the biggest bowl of
00:25:28meat
00:25:30this time grandma ada doesn't even look back the heavy bloody meat clobber in her hand just flies across
00:25:38the room with grandma here no one can bully us take one more step into my yard and i'll chop
00:25:43your feet off
00:25:44get lost
00:25:49grandma ada locks the money in an iron box under the bed she tells me that money could buy lots
00:25:56of
00:25:56pretty clothes and candy but my dad traded his life for it so we can't waste a single penny
00:26:05dad's gut ranking coughs come from the back room
00:26:10he begs mom from his sick bed to stop worrying about him and to save the last bite of food
00:26:16for me
00:26:33the cracked earth in the blackwood forest looks like countless mouths laughing at our poverty
00:26:39starving people have stripped away every chewable piece of tree bark in this hell hole
00:26:44mom leans on her stick wandering the wasteland in despair just as mom is about to collapse
00:26:51i trip hard over a tree root in the flying dust
00:26:59i actually find a few heavy dirty weird looking stones
00:27:07mom says they're useless rocks and tells me to throw them away
00:27:11but right as she reaches out something weird happens again
00:27:19the festwick dies on the spot and rolls right to mom's feet
00:27:25aunt grace called me a jinx but now god himself has delivered dinner to me
00:27:41the first time i've ever had a full stomach i don't have to shiver in a freezing haystack
00:27:47and no one is pulling my hair i eat the delicious chicken and the air smells like pure happiness
00:28:11papa arthur says his lungs feel warm and he can finally breathe easier
00:28:17mom says those white mushrooms we found will definitely sell for a good price
00:28:23if we can buy medicine papa will be saved
00:28:28the blowing yellow sand can't hide how run down the market is
00:28:32mom and i huddle in a corner carefully laying out those lumpy white roots i don't know it yet but
00:28:38these wild mushrooms are called white gold on the tables of rich city folks
00:28:43and then she started begging her cousin mark she kept pulling on his sleeve and crying
00:28:51i'm sorry she wanted mark uncle to get thomas out of jail
00:29:02mark is impatiently trying to push her away then he notices us in the corner
00:29:10a aunt grace blames me for all her tragedies
00:29:18leone you're the reason my life is ruined
00:29:24aunt grace's face is uglier than dead bark in the blackwood forest for the five thousand dollars
00:29:32she brought her bully cousin mark who works at the town hall they stare at mom and me like starving
00:29:39wolves
00:29:42mom and i guard our stall it's our only hope to buy papa's medicine
00:29:52but mark comes right up and kicks our basket over
00:29:57mark yells like crazy in the market framing us for selling deadly poisonous mushrooms
00:30:02right in front of everyone he crushes the white mushrooms we worked so hard to find
00:30:07just like stepping on trash mark grabs the gray stones i found calling us money hungry scammers
00:30:14with a loud bang he smashes the rocks onto the ground the sound of them breaking is the sound of
00:30:20my
00:30:20heart breaking the crowd believes mark they point at us calling us shameless their insults almost drown mom
00:30:28and me we're not scamming anyone these really aren't poisonous mushrooms that's not true we're not lying
00:30:40mark doesn't care about poisonous mushrooms at all he just wants the five thousand dollars papa left us
00:30:47he threatens mom like a snake saying if we don't pay protection money he'll make us disappear from
00:30:54oak haven for good to protect my life-saving money mom firmly rejects this hungry wolf but it brings
00:31:01devastating revenge mark goes crazy he flips our stall and crushes the white mushrooms that could save papa
00:31:09arthur arthur into mud i scream and pray for god to punish these bad people but all i get is
00:31:15aunt grace's
00:31:16piercing cacker you bad people god is watching he will definitely punish you she points at my nose
00:31:24calling me a naive little idiot saying even jesus couldn't save us now stop
00:31:35i follow everyone's gaze and see two men walking in from the crowd they dress completely differently
00:31:42from the townsfolk and they look incredibly distinguished
00:31:52what the hell are you blind idiots doing
00:31:57the old man with glasses kneels in the mud holding the crushed pieces his hands are shaking worse than
00:32:04dead leaves in autumn i can feel how angry and heartbroken he is at the time i still didn't know
00:32:09just how precious those crushed white mushrooms were
00:32:16you fool these are top grades white struffles that even the royal family pays a fortune to find
00:32:23and you crush them mark's face instantly drained of color too terrified to speak meanwhile mr sterling with
00:32:31his leopard cane slowly walks toward the gray stones aunt grace smashed in that moment i think the sun fell
00:32:39into the stone beneath the dull gray surface a dreamy deep purple light shines out mr sterling says
00:32:47it's an extremely rare natural amethyst geob mr sterling goes crazy he pulls out a thick stack of
00:32:54hundred dollar bills enough to buy half the town and shoves it into mom's hands he says he'd give his
00:33:00entire fortune to buy all the trash stones i found seeing things go bad
00:33:08mark and aunt grace try to sneak away into the crowd like cowards
00:33:13but the two men in black suits grab them by the collars and throw them hard into a filthy stinking
00:33:19mud puddle
00:33:24mom's hands are shaking so much she can barely hold the heavy stack of cash
00:33:29she can't believe the rotten mushrooms and broken stones i casually picked up in the blackwood forest
00:33:36are actually worth more than gold mr sterling takes off his expensive top hat he says i'm an angel
00:33:44blessed by god the villagers who used to point and gloss up are all shocked silent by this massive fortune
00:33:52you just found these lying around good lord this child is absolutely a reincarnated angel only someone
00:34:01blessed by god could have such unbelievable luck mr sterling i think we have an obligation to help
00:34:07this child get the compensation she deserves and make these scumbags face their punishment
00:34:12the well-dressed lawyer steps forward he calculates our damages at three thousand five hundred dollars
00:34:19that's an astrosnomical price enough to buy the whole town of oakhaven mark doesn't want to pay the
00:34:27compensation he tries to run towards a speeding coal train to hop on and escape
00:34:36the bodyguard quickly drags him back from the train and pins him in the mud he can't run anymore
00:34:41the sheriff arrives and tells aunt grace that if she doesn't get the money together in 48 hours
00:34:46she'll not only hand over papa's farm that she stole but she'll also rot in jail for the rest of
00:34:51her life
00:34:58late at night in oakhaven the wind tears at the ground like a mad beast
00:35:02the old roof shakes the drafty windows creak but in the flickering light of the kerosene lamp
00:35:05aunt grace is scarier than the storm i found a picture today a man in a uniform i asked who
00:35:10he was
00:35:10she said it was nothing just someone who used to live with the old roof shakes the drafty windows
00:35:16crink the three thousand and five hundred dollars collection notice chokes her like a noose instead
00:35:23of repenting aunt grace just stares at the document with the red thumbprint plotting to steal the blood
00:35:29soap douching money under grandma ada's bed lightning flashes lighting up aunt grace's soaked face she
00:35:38raises cold plizers snips the wire fence and sneaks onto our farm
00:36:00it rained so hard that night the noise keeps me awake i get up for a drink of water
00:36:07the wind is so strong outside i'm afraid the rain will ruin the wood floor so i drag
00:36:26a big iron bucket over and force the window shut tight i think closing the window will keep the
00:36:31storm out but i don't notice the old frame is rotten the second i turn around aunt grace pries it
00:36:40open
00:36:48i don't know the window is broken and might fall if opened one aunt grace risks her life
00:36:55for that money she squeezes inside scraping the skin right off her waist
00:37:03the metal clangs loudly in the dead of night aunt grace flails like a funny puppet desperately trying
00:37:11to grab something to steady herself please don't fall but she grabs a wobbly shell
00:37:24grandma ada taught me that quick live boils like a kettle when it hits water aunt grace screams so miserably
00:37:34but she wouldn't be hurt if she didn't sneak in through the window at midnight
00:37:43aunt grace screams smashes through the back door and plunges into the terrestrial rain the quick line
00:37:50boils on her face the burning blinds her making her stumble through the mud
00:37:58even the farm dog avoids that stinky pit aunt grace used to call me a smelly beggar
00:38:04but now even the skunk living in the pit is disgusted by her aunt grace crawls out of the cesspool
00:38:13her mind still obsessed with the money when she finds the heavy locked metal box in the junk pile
00:38:19her burned eyes being scarier than a demon's a locked box the money must be inside
00:38:36the smell of gunpowder overpowers the rain and grandma ada's furious shout tears through the night
00:38:43aunt grace actually hits the gas through a hail of bullets
00:38:47in the pouring rain aunt grace laughs like a dying maniac in a speeding truck
00:38:59she hugs the metal box to her chest thinking she holds all the wealth in the world and has
00:39:06finally beaten everyone
00:39:10grandma ada holds her shotgun anxious to chase her i stand barefoot in the mud and gently tug her wet
00:39:18shirt
00:39:18to remind her uncle thomas told me before that whenever it storms the wooden bridge over there
00:39:24floods completely
00:39:33the truck in the storm is like a wild beast out of control
00:39:36i.e grace screams madly in the cab when she sees the river completely swallowing the bridge
00:39:42no the bridge she falls into total despair stop stop right now
00:39:50the crash shatters the rain aunt grace doesn't die but she lands somewhere worse than hell
00:39:57major evans military restricted zone
00:40:02money my money a dozen black thompson submachine guns aim right at her head
00:40:10the major steps forward in his raincoat with a cold face i told you not to flee
00:40:16where do you think you're driving miss grace
00:40:25it's over it's all over
00:40:31the stench from the truck is more nauseating than a rotting corpse in the black forest
00:40:36it's the smell of cesspooled water mixed with aunt grace's greed
00:40:41even as the mps drag her into the mud she clings to the heavy metal box
00:40:46while aunt grace dreams of being rich grandma ada arrives with me on her roaring tractor
00:40:52grandma looks at aunt grace in the mud and laughs with sheer contempt
00:40:57because the real pension money rests safely under the handsome family's bed
00:41:05grandma ada tells major evans the truth and he pries open the heavy padlock with the daggers
00:41:12that's what's going to do
00:41:13with a loud clang where aunt grace's dream shatters completely
00:41:26stealing private property go join your husband in prison take her away
00:41:43my once arrogant aunt and uncle now look like two cornered rabbits facing their final judgment
00:41:52grandma doesn't carry her scary shotgun today she puts me in a new lace dress
00:41:59and holds my hand stepping into the light like a guardian angel
00:42:04uncle thomas's mental defenses completely break down and he roars at aunt grace
00:42:09facing 20 years in prison he doesn't hesitate to sign his name
00:42:22the gavel bangs down hard the judge declares that the farm and all the wealth dad left me
00:42:29are finally back in my hands the judge usually looks so mean and everyone is scared of him
00:42:45but today he bends down and smiles at us just like the chubby man in town who loves giving kids
00:42:52candy
00:42:55aunt grace used to plug her nose disgusted by the moldy barn smell on me
00:43:01but now she stinks so bad that even i have to turn my head and pinch my nose
00:43:08remember that freezing barn you kicked leonie into on that stormy day
00:43:13from today on that broken barn is yours the guards can't stand aunt grace's sour
00:43:20stench they drag her out and her screams echo through the hall the adults surround me smiling
00:43:28and calling me a lucky little angel but i don't care all i know is that grandma's hand holding mine
00:43:35is big and warm and no one will ever force me into a freezing barn again
00:43:43i used to think this dirt could only grow hard rocks and starved bugs
00:43:48only today do i realize it can grow so much wheat that looks like pure gold
00:43:55grandma laughed so loudly today
00:44:01good girl look these are all gifts from god
00:44:05that neither of us notices miss ella staring at me
00:44:09she looks exactly like aunt grace used to when she wanted to hit me
00:44:13miss ella yells at james they want this most fertile land in town
00:44:18miss ella looks at me so fiercely as if she wants to rush over and eat me alive
00:44:31if that damn old hack won't give it to us we'll just take it ourselves
00:44:34take it how that land is in the name of that little bastard leonie
00:44:43then we'll find a way to switch the deeds
00:44:46greedy snakes can never fill their bottomless pit of desire
00:44:51blood ties don't bring family love they just become an excuse to steal
00:45:00greedy james brings his dark secrets and knocks on the back door of power just like a sewer rat
00:45:12i only learn later that there's a scary magic in the adult world
00:45:17if you secretly give the mayor a special gift your wishes come true
00:45:26james uses tobacco and money to trade for the fertilisle farm under my name
00:45:43james your appetite is way bigger than your dying brothers
00:46:01power completely surrenders to money
00:46:07the mayor accepts james's gift
00:46:28james's gift

00:56:23mclean files a petition to change guardianship at the court
00:56:29shattering my peaceful life with grandma ada
00:56:34it's a rare sweet moment but the screech of brakes shatters the peace

00:57:16because everything will be decided in court the hearing proceeds as scheduled for grandma ada and me
00:57:24this isn't a fair trial at all it's a brutal one-sided execution mclean hired top clerk lawyer barry with
00:57:31serious cash while we could only find mr sterling mrs hansen do you have any idea how to raise a
00:57:37multi-million dollar girl or is your only skill abusing people and feeding pigs you lawyer barry you should
00:57:45know that you need to present evidence for your claims of course don't you worry about that lawyer
00:57:50barry uses fancy legal talk to paint grandma ada as a violent ignorant village woman what's worse
00:57:59the devil's accomplices take the stand your honor i saw with my own eyes how ada forced leonie to sleep
00:58:07in the barn and eat scraps you two animals shut up ella you're crossing the line james is this how

00:58:35be say the court leans towards revoking ada's guardianship transferring it to mclean's foundation
00:58:42and sending leonine to a closed boarding school on the east coast a closed school means i'll be
00:58:50totally at mclean's mercy and our oil wealth will be completely swallowed up i won't go to school i don't
00:58:57want to leave grandma ada
00:59:02everyone holds their breath the judge is about to strip grandma ada of my custody whatever is on

01:01:11grandma pretends to give in just to keep me safe
