Get Rich in the 80s: Just Ask the Trash Can Plot:

In a 1985 Shanghai alleyway, 22-year-old Lin Xiaoman just lost her job at the textile factory. With her mother bedridden and no money for her brother’s notebook, she’s so desperate she rummages through trash for leftover food. One late night, she finds an oil-stained "Future Weekly" in the bin—it clearly states, "Color TVs at Jiefang Road Department Store will be 30% off next Friday, prices resume in three days." Desperate, she borrows 200 yuan from neighbor Zhou Ming to stock up and makes 800 yuan in profit! But the subsequent "hints" get weirder: "Pork will rise 30 cents next month," "The transfer fee for the alley’s state-owned grocery store will quintuple." As Lin grows richer, Zhou’s sympathy turns to suspicion—he secretly follows her and catches her rummaging through trash for "waste paper," demanding to know her secret. Worse, the latest hint ends with a red cross: "Someone will investigate your sourcing channels next week..." Is the "fortune" she found in the trash a gift from fate, or a trap with a hidden price tag?
