Three-and-a-half-year-old Shen Haitang was abandoned by her birth mother on the shore and nearly swept away by the tide.

The Shen family, so poor they could barely afford to eat, took her in. The villagers all said, "The Shens can't even feed themselves, and now they've taken in a little burden. She'll starve to death sooner or later."

Who could have guessed that on the very first day the little girl opened her eyes, she'd grab a broken rice bowl and run to the shore?

"Grandma, there's a big blue crab under that rock!"

"Daddy, there's a sea cucumber hiding in that reef!"

"Big brother, don't step there! There's a whole nest of razor clams under the sand!"

The Shen family ate meat that very day, paid off their debts the next, and by the third day, the whole village was out gathering seafood and filling their baskets.

Later, golden sea rice grew in the saline-alkali soil, fat oysters thrived in the stinking mudflats, and the broken fishing boats returned with holds full of fish. The poor fishing village, where men couldn't afford to marry, became a golden treasure everyone envied.

Her birth parents came to claim her in a horse-drawn carriage, crying that Tangbao was the real heiress of the marquis's household.

Tangbao clung to Grandma's neck and declared fiercely, "No! You abandoned Tangbao, Grandma took Tangbao in. Tangbao is the Shen family's treasure!"

From then on, the Shen family protected her, the sea protected her, and the whole village protected her.

Anyone who bullied Tangbao would find their fishpond empty the next day.
