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

Guan Erlang didn't find Manbao's question odd and replied, "That's not the case. The separate residence was built by my father for recuperation. He occasionally stays there during the cold winter days, but usually, he lives at home."


Manbao smiled and asked, "Where was Old Master Guan staying when he first became ill?"


"At the Prince's Mansion," Guan Erlang looked at her suspiciously, "Before that, my father mostly stayed in the Prince's Mansion. You're not going to say it has something to do with where he lived, are you?"


"It could be related to his living conditions," Manbao said, "or perhaps he caught a cold or was too tired at that time, or he was overthinking, which can cause headaches."


Guan Erlang slightly furrowed his brow, "Knowing this, can you treat it?"


Manbao replied seriously, "Knowing the cause of the illness allows us to prescribe the right remedy. Otherwise, why would we observe and inquire before taking the pulse when treating a patient?"
