At Three and a Half, I Can See Beneath the Sea, and I Lead My Village to Fortune

[Little Sea-Gathering Prodigy] [Farming Her Way to Wealth] [Beloved by the Whole Family] [False and True Lucky Stars] [Island Ventures] [Feel-Good Power Fantasy] [Healing] [No Angst for the Heroine]

Jiang Xiaoman was three and a half. Her father had disappeared, her mother was frail, her grandmother played favorites, and her second uncle’s family called her a worthless jinx every day.

In the dead of winter, her cousin pushed her off the rocks, and she nearly got swept away by the tide.

But when the little one opened her eyes, she could hear the sea speaking.

“There’s a big crab hiding under that rock.”

“Pearl oysters are over on the left.”

“A wounded big shot is trapped in that shipwreck.”

From that day on, everything changed for the third branch of the Jiang family.

While others came back from the shore with empty buckets, Xiaoman’s bucket overflowed.

While others cast their nets and caught little fish, Xiaoman hauled in golden yellow croaker by the basketful.

While others dismissed the barren shore as useless, Xiaoman and her mother cultivated seaweed, raised razor clams, and made sea salt, bringing money pouring through the door.

Her biased grandmother regretted her choices, her scheming second aunt turned green with envy, and her cousin, the fake lucky star, panicked.

Everyone in the village said, “Manman isn’t a jinx. She’s the little treasure of the sea in Qingwan Village!”

Later, her missing father returned.

Her frail mother became a shopkeeper in the seaside market.

Her poor older brother passed the imperial exams and became the top scholar.

A cold-faced big shot took her as his goddaughter.

Even the emperor sent people to invite her to the capital.

Hugging her little wooden bucket, Jiang Xiaoman said in her babyish voice, “I’m not going. I still have to gather seafood and support my family!”
