I Take Eight Gossipy Women Clamming, and Get Rich Every Time I Cast My Net

In my previous life, I spent fifteen years working in the seafood market, hauling cargo, sorting fish, and making deliveries. I developed an eye for picking out the best catch at a glance.

But the year I left the fishing village, I couldn't even hold on to the familiar life I'd known. The eight women in our courtyard each left to make a living, their children sent off to different relatives. The old fishing fleet's residential compound gradually emptied out.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in 2010.

Zheng Yu and He Qing were packing their bags, and Wang Mei had also arranged a night shift job that came with room and board.

"Wait until I make one more trip out to sea. Decide whether to leave after I sell this haul!"

The Sea God's Domain awakens. I know exactly how many fish and crabs are hiding in the nearby waters, and how big they are!

With a thought, groupers swim from between the rocks toward my net, and fat crabs gather along the channels.

I cast the net, Wang Mei helps bring in the catch, and Wu Yan sorts it into baskets.

On the first day, we sell the groupers and swimming crabs we haul in across several trips for 7,200 yuan!

I pay off some old debt first, add meat to dinner, and bring a bowl of fish to Sister Xiu. When I was a child, she used to save me a warm meal. Now I've finally got the means to put food on the table for her, too.

From now on, if we don't have enough baskets, we'll get more. If the boat can't hold everything, we'll get a bigger one!

I'll lead my eight companions in hauling up the best the sea has to offer, net by net, buying new clothes and fixing our leaky homes.

In this life, I want to earn enough money to live comfortably, and I want the whole family to sit down and eat together!
