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."

"But I can't be entirely blamed," said County Magistrate Tang, "How was I supposed to know that Zhou Jin was her father and Zhangbo was investigating Zhou Man?"


The attendant, baffled, asked, "Young Master Yang is investigating Miss Man?"


County Magistrate Tang, holding his forehead, replied, "Let's head back, that girl is cunning, and Bai Shan is no easy target. It won't be long before their family finds out."


County Magistrate Tang paused thoughtfully and added, "So, was the longevity lock worn by Manbao? Then this isn't a current case but an old one from years ago. Lai Tou is timid, yet even under torture, he wouldn't speak, likely because many familiar people are involved."


The attendant said, "My lord, couldn't you just say it involves people from their village?"


County Magistrate Tang glanced at him, "Who said it was only people from their village? We still don't even know what crime has been committed, Zhangbo hasn't told me anything."
