[Reborn, period setting, seaside foraging, widowed sister-in-law, System, farming and fortune]
Longwan Village, 1988.
Shao Fei is reborn, returning to the summer when even coarse salt had to be rationed grain by grain and his whole family was driven to the brink of despair.
His seriously ill younger brother-in-law coughs up blood. His beautiful widowed sister-in-law is trapped behind the door by the village secretary, a local bully, and is about to be thrown out with nothing to her name to pay off the debt.
Seeing his sister-in-law’s reddened eyes, Shao Fei declares, “This time around, if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up!”
With nowhere else to turn, Shao Fei plunges into Wild Duck Lake. A mechanical voice suddenly rings in his mind:
[Ding! Seaside Foraging Compendium System successfully bound! Divine-grade intel refreshed!]
While everyone else turns up their noses at a derelict water pit, he uses a rusty iron pry bar to pull out a red roe crab as big as a basin and dredge up gold that sank beneath the water!
The bully sneers, “A few lousy crabs are supposed to cover a debt of three hundred yuan?”
Shao Fei turns around and sells them to a grand restaurant in the county seat, then smacks a thick wad of big bills right into the bully’s face! The whole village is stunned!
With one chart after another in hand, he dives into underground rivers beneath the lake, captures a wild softshell turtle a century old, and pries open a pearl mussel as big as a washbasin to find a flawless, perfectly round pearl.
His brother-in-law gets the medicine he needs to survive, his sister-in-law gets new clothes, and the bully’s schemes are smashed to pieces!
From a Flying Pigeon bicycle to a thousand-ton deep-sea fishing vessel, from catching shrimp in the shallows to hunting sea dragons in the depths.
Deep-sea snow eels, premium yellow croaker, and top-grade spiny lobsters pour into his hold. The entire ocean becomes his private warehouse!
By the time he builds the village’s first red-brick house by the sea and puts an arm around his pretty sister-in-law, her cheeks flushed red,
the village fishermen are green with envy: “Brother Fei, please take us seaside foraging!”
Shao Fei grins and tucks a stray lock of hair behind his wife’s ear. “Not teaching anyone. I’m too busy doting on my wife.”
