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

Junior Ms. Qian made it a point to visit her parental home every year, and Zhou Dalang would naturally accompany her, as it was not only his in-laws' home but also his uncle's.


In addition to the couple, their sons and daughters also needed to be taken along, and most of the time, their unmarried brothers and sisters would follow them back as well.


Manbao was definitely going with them. In previous years, Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang had also accompanied them, but this year Zhou Wulang was visiting his in-laws with his wife and children, while Zhou Liulang, afraid of being urged to marry, decided to stay indoors like a tortoise, refusing to go out at all.


So, it was just Manbao who still enthusiastically went back with them.


On the morning of the second day of the lunar new year, everyone went their separate ways, and the old Zhou household was left with just the couple and Zhou Liulang.
