Su Wan was divorced by the Li family after three years of marriage for "infertility," allowed to take only her dowry—an old water tank. Huddled in a dilapidated temple, she found a hidden compartment in the tank: vegetable seeds and a farming manual left by her late mother. In a drought, she used the tank to collect rainwater, grew drought-resistant greens, and sold them as pickles. Later, she opened a grocery store and a handicraft workshop, becoming the "Tank Lady" of the town. When the Li family went bankrupt due to her ex-husband's brother's gambling debts and the in-laws begged for forgiveness, Su Wan pointed to the new water tank at her shop door and smiled: "You once thought it was useless, but now it's my lifeline—and the dignity you can never afford."
