Bamboo Rain

The Fourth Brother had squandered his wealth through gambling, leaving their mother in a critical state. To make matters worse, the creditors even asked them to sell Manbao to settle the debts!
In the village, whispers spread that the golden days of the Zhou Family's cherished Manbao were over. Their elderly mother clung to Manbao's hand, tears streaming down her face.
However, Manbao tightly grasped a system in her hand, a tool that would lead her and her brothers and sisters-in-law to reclaim their fortunes. They ventured into agriculture, cultivating land, growing medicinal herbs, and establishing shops, steadily improving their lives. 
As their situation improved, concerns shifted to Manbao's marital prospects by the sister-in-laws.
"Mr. Zhuang's grandson is an excellent match – educated and well-spoken. He is just perfect for you."
"No! You should consider Mr. Qian's youngest son, who is handsome and well-mannered. You can count on him never to defy you."
Suppressing a smile, Manbao responded, "My heart is already set. I choose Bai Shanbao, my childhood friend whom I've playfully scolded since we were young."

The Lucky Farmgirl

Manbao followed her brothers to the grave, where Old Zhou instructed Zhou Dalang and the others to dig a big hole at the side of Zhou Yin's tomb. He then placed a box inside, filled it back up with dirt, and mounded fresh earth from nearby atop it, merging it seamlessly with the larger head of the grave.


Manbao watched in a daze and asked, "Dad, what did you put in Uncle's grave?"


Old Zhou hushed her with a "shush," and looked around to see if anyone else was nearby. Finding they were alone for the moment, he said in a louder voice, "Oh, nothing much, just the belt you gave me last night."


Manbao was stunned and after a moment asked, "Dad, why bury it?"


"To show it to your Uncle, who knows, he might like it?" Anyway, it wasn't so valuable, and he couldn't wear it out even if he wanted to—it's better given to a brother.


After scratching her head, Manbao looked at her dad and said, "Dad, you and Uncle were really close."
