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

Old Zhou was quite uneasy, "Manbao, if the truth about your father comes out, will our family and you be held accountable? And the villagers, everyone helped to hide it, will the county magistrate arrest us all?"


Manbao asked, "Does the whole village know?"


Old Zhou nodded, "The older ones all know. It was quite the scene when your dad came back, everyone came over to our house to join the commotion."


Manbao thought for a moment and then comforted, "Don't be afraid, even if it's about hiding a fugitive, there are so many involved; they'll only arrest the ringleaders, like the village chief grandfather and the local chief, as well as dad and my eldest brother."


Old Zhou was not comforted at all, clutching his chest and said, "How can this be?"


Having learned the truth, Manbao felt much more relaxed, and she kept asking her mother, "Mom, are you sure, my dad really isn't a bad person?"


Ms.Qian didn't hesitate to nod, "Sure!"
