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

A tall and fierce-looking bailiff walked up to Lai Tou's side, his voice booming as he recited a list of various torture methods: "crushing fingers, nailing fingers, flaying skin, roasting over fire", and others.

At least it had worked on Lai Tou, who then rolled his eyes back and fainted.


He looked at the bailiff, who scratched his head and offered a simple smile, "My lord, I didn't expect him to be so faint-hearted. Shall I wake him up?"


County Magistrate Yang watched Lai Tou for a long while, then gestured for him to be awoken.


But when Lai Tou came to and saw County Magistrate Yang, his eyes rolled back again as he was about to faint.


County Magistrate Yang said, "If you dare to faint, I'll proceed directly with the torture."
