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 searched for peonies in the mall and found quite a few pictures, which looked especially beautiful to her. So she got excited and was about to place an order, but then something felt off as she looked.


Why do the descriptions say it's a species "closest to the ancient variety?"


And isn't the size of this flower too abnormal?


Manbao leaned in and asked the seller, "How big is this flower?"


The seller replied instantly, "Very big, when it's fully bloomed it's as big as a fist. Don't worry, this is the latest variety from our farm, the one closest to the ancient kind."


Then Manbao remembered the peonies she had just seen at someone else's place; the largest one was about the size of her head. The smaller ones... were as big as her face, and yet...


Manbao indignantly said, "Then why does your picture show it so big?"


"It's enlarged, so that buyers can clearly see the patterns on the petals and admire their color."
