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 took off the longevity lock hanging around her neck and argued with conviction, "See, this longevity lock is so small, even if I take it out, my family would be ruined. Originally, before my Fourth Brother started gambling, we were quite wealthy."


She sighed deeply, "Before that, I never had to worry about food or clothing, but after my Fourth Brother took to gambling, even I had to worry about making a living."


County Magistrate Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter and cheerfully asked, "How old were you back then?"


He remembered it especially well because not long after that, he had gotten into a fight with her!


Many memories from childhood were blurry, but that particular one was especially vivid.
