[No CP] [Get Rich by Gathering Seafood] [Spatial Marketplace] [Cutting Ties with Toxic Relatives] [Daily Life Protecting My Sister]
Chu Zhaoyao transmigrates into the eldest daughter of the second branch of a fishing village family. The moment she opens her eyes, she sees her biased grandmother trying to save on food by selling her five-year-old little sister to a blind old man in exchange for bran.
She grabs a fish spear and smashes the ancestral hall's altar table on the spot, forcing the first branch to sign the family separation papers before moving with her sister into a drafty shack by the sea.
Drought and locusts strike together, leaving the inland fields barren. The whole village is so hungry that they're chewing tree bark and drinking seaweed soup, but she activates a seafood trading System.
Green crabs in the cracks between rocks, sandworms under the mudflats, wild large yellow croaker in the deep sea: she can turn them all into valuable points and exchange them for modern flour, refined salt, and self-defense strength.
The village bully wants to seize her tidal flats? One thrust of her fish spear pins his boat planks through!
Her aunt-by-marriage sneaks out at night to steal seafood? She lets the sea eagle peck her eyes out!
Using rare seasonings from the System's marketplace, she makes top-quality seafood sauce and monopolizes the prefecture's restaurants. Even during the famine, she treats her little sister to seafood feasts every day.
Three years later, her deadbeat father returns in finery after being conscripted to build a canal, and actually tries to use the sisters to curry favor with the powerful and advance his career.
Chu Zhaoyao sneers, brandishes the official document establishing her as a female head of household, and throws her deadbeat father out the door!
