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 had just brought out three boxes when Ji Hao lightly coughed, his cheeks slightly reddening as he raised his voice, "Well, please all come along then."


Bai Shan wasn't very keen on going, but he didn't feel it appropriate to say so in front of Ji Hao, so he could only look towards Manbao.


Manbao didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement, after all, they had already attended Qi Jue's birthday feast, so going to Ji Hao's wouldn't make much difference.


One gift was fine, two gifts were fine, if worst came to worst, she could just go out and buy a few more jade statues of the "Heavenly Sovereign" to bring back, anyway, she was definitely going to recollect those gifts in the end.


Manbao hummed inwardly and said to Bai Shan, "Let's go."


Bai Shan glanced towards the quiet study and asked, "Where is the teacher?"


Manbao replied, "The teacher said seeing you all running around outside and not studying seriously made him angry, so he left to avoid getting upset."
