The Whole Family's Lucky Star: The Eighties Fishing Village Girl Gets Rich at Sea

[Eighties Era] [Cute Baby] [Get Rich by Gathering Seafood] [Face-Slapping the Villainous Relatives] [Clear-Eyed Parents]

The day Jiang Haisheng's daughter was born, her grandmother took the eggs meant for the new mother.

"You gave birth to a girl. You still expect to eat eggs?"

The whole family said she was a money-losing burden.

But no one could have guessed that the despised baby girl was hiding an enormous secret.

The day she smiled, her father went out to sea and caught a yellow croaker worth three hundred yuan. The night she cried, a storm whipped up at sea, nearly destroying the family's boat.

Word began spreading through the fishing village that the third son's family had a little lucky star sent by the Dragon King.

The grandmother grew jealous. The eldest uncle grew jealous. They showed up with eggs and said, "Send the child to the main house. I'll raise her!"

Li Xiuzhen clutched her daughter tightly. "I gave birth to her. I'll raise her myself."

The eldest branch of the family wouldn't give up. They bribed the warehouse clerk to frame the couple for theft, hoping to drive them out with nothing.

Jiang Haisheng pulled out the receipt on the spot and exposed their scheme.

"My girl isn't some money-losing burden. She's the lucky star of our family!"

On the day they split from the family, they moved into a leaky, broken hut.

Everyone waited to laugh at them.

But no one knew that on the morning Li Xiuzhen took her daughter out to sea, fourteen sea cucumbers and twenty-two abalone had emerged from between the rocks...

One hundred and twenty yuan, paid on the spot.

"Duoduo, this is how Mama will earn money from now on. If you want food or clothes, I'll buy them for you."

In the dilapidated house on the east side of the village, rainwater dripped into a basin.

Jiang Haisheng shielded his wife and daughter and clenched his fists.

"Once we've made a better life for ourselves, we'll show them that we can still eat hot meals after leaving that courtyard!"

What will become of the faces of the family who once tossed that "money-losing burden" into the west wing?
