An 80S Fishing Village: A Broken Boat Builds a Fortune

In her previous life, her father died when his boat sank, their fishing boat was seized, her mother suffered endless humiliation, and her younger brother was driven to the brink. Only as Lin Tinglan lay dying did she learn that the shipwreck had never been an accident. Back in the 1980s, the creditor Chen Youcai comes knocking with fake accounts again, hoping to use a debt of 230 yuan to take the Lin family’s last boat. The whole village laughs, saying a woman wouldn’t dare go out to sea. But Lin Tinglan steers alone into Blackwater Gully, braving the storm to rescue her younger brother Lin Mancang, then catches 160 jin of silver pomfret and sells them for 145 yuan in a single day! In her previous life, her impulsive, reckless brother was easily manipulated. This time, she pulls him back from the brink. From then on, he learns boat repair, takes up transport work, and leads a fleet, becoming her most trusted ally as she makes her way at sea. The Gao family fish market cuts off her ice supply and blocks her sales channels, threatening that anyone who sells her fish will never be allowed into the county seat again. Lin Tinglan refuses to back down. With no icehouse, she builds one herself. With no suppliers, she leads the village women out to sea, buys fish, and sets up a processing plant. From an urgent order for 300 jin to monthly orders of 2,000 jin from the provincial capital, those who once waited for her to lose her boat now line up to beg her to buy their catch! Only when half an oil coupon turns up does she realize that the person who truly owes the Lin family a life is still hiding out on the sea where it all happened.
