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!

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.

The yamen runner agreed with enthusiasm, knowing that when the County Magistrate promised a generous reward, he meant it.


Manbao pulled her two friends back to the private room, and Bai Erlang asked, "Will your family split up?"
