On the day they divorced, her ex-husband called their daughter stupid and a burden, and refused to pay even a penny in child support. Song Jin didn't argue. She simply took her three-year-old daughter and returned to her old home by the sea.
But when the little girl squatted on the beach and clapped along to half a nursery rhyme, rows of mantis shrimp crawled out from behind the rocks. Even the crabs raised their claws and scuttled straight into her arms.
To make ends meet, Song Jin decided to try livestreaming her beachcombing. Other people could search for ages and find nothing but shells, but the moment the mother and daughter reached the tidal flats, swimming crabs, sea snails, and giant lobsters all popped up one after another. Their livestream filled up in an instant, and the two of them built a better and better life together.
Just as viewers across the internet were begging the little girl to livestream every day, her long-vanished ex-husband showed up with a paternity test and demanded custody of the child.
The little girl picked up a giant-clawed crab and asked in her baby voice, "Crabby, did he come here to get pinched?"
