[Period setting + coastal foraging + making a fortune + supporting the family + putting scumbags in their place + feel-good story]
When she woke up, Lin Haiyue had been reborn in a remote fishing village in the 1970s.
Her parents had both died in a disaster at sea, leaving behind three younger siblings, all gaunt and malnourished, and a horrible grandmother ready to sell her off for a bride price at any moment.
Facing an empty house and a desperate shortage of food from the start?
Lin Haiyue gave a cold laugh, grabbed a broken fishing net, and headed straight for the beach!
While everyone else found dead fish and rotten shrimp when they went beachcombing, Lin Haiyue seemed blessed by the sea god.
She flipped over a rock and found a giant crab big enough to fill a bowl, its claw clamped onto her finger.
She tossed out a battered net, and schools of large yellow croaker rushed into it.
When the tide receded, choice lobsters and black abalones as big as washbasins were practically lined up for her to collect!
Her vicious grandmother tried to steal her seafood? Lin Haiyue kicked her flying and cut ties with her for good!
Her scumbag former fiancé wanted to get back together? Sorry, even the big yellow dog at the village entrance is more appealing than you!
In the 1970s, when food and clothing were scarce, Lin Haiyue used her incredible beachcombing skills to build a Western-style house, buy a large fishing boat, and lead her family to a comfortable life with seafood every day and meat at every meal.
A handsome, aloof young intellectual sent down to the countryside showed up right on time every day. “Comrade Lin, I've got a whole net full of good stuff, and I'll hand myself over to you along with it. How about you keep us both?”
The villagers: “...”
Was this really the eldest daughter of the dirt-poor Lin family? She was clearly the Goddess of Wealth come down to earth!
The novel is well written and captures the characteristics of that era. It is very interesting to read.
Dear author, didn't you write earlier that you built three blue brick houses with large tiles? Why did Lin Haiyue's house turn into a mud house again? Is it confusing??
