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 couldn't help but turn his head and exchange a look with Bai Shan, then, turning back, they both offered County Magistrate Tang an expansive smile, nearly dazzling him with its brilliance.


Although he knew he shouldn't feel this way, County Magistrate Tang couldn't help but shudder, as if ants were rapidly crawling up his spine.


County Magistrate Tang's gaze slid back and forth between the two, and he asked, "But I remember the academy usually only gives a three-day holiday for the second day of the second lunar month. You came back yesterday and are leaving again tomorrow?"


Bai Shan responded, "I asked for two extra days off."


County Magistrate Tang looked at him with suspicion, "Just to celebrate the second day of the second lunar month?"


Bai Shan nodded, "Didn't Lord Tang also come? Clearly, you are very interested in our local temple fair too. We participate in the temple fair every year, and it would feel like something was missing if we didn't come this year."
