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 thought it over and accepted his apology, but dismissed the idea of going for drinks.


She found a shady spot at the base of the wall in the Imperial Academy, standing underneath it to avoid the sun.


Some spectating students lost interest and bid farewell to Feng Zongping and the others, leaving only three behind.


These three also took refuge under the wall; Manbao, tilting her head back, locked eyes with them and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"


Feng Zongping smiled and said, "We have nothing else to do, so we might as well keep you company for a while. By the way, you look quite young. Is your Junior Brother even younger? Is he even fourteen?"


Feng Zongping looked at Manbao skeptically; she seemed to be only about twelve or thirteen years old, could her Junior Brother be even younger?
