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 found time to copy those two booklets, which were tiny and only contained the topics without any answers. With her experience in copying books, she was quick, so she finished copying them during her spare moments.


"You and Liwei, Lijun copy a few booklets, and we'll sell them tomorrow morning for one or two silver pieces each. The topics for policy essays and poetry are more expensive, two silver pieces per booklet."


Zhou Lichong was very doubtful, "Auntie, can we really sell such a small booklet for one silver piece?"


Zhou Liwei nodded repeatedly, sharing the skepticism, "Isn't that ripping people off?"


Manbao: "...Do you know how much money I spent to buy these two booklets?"


Manbao said, "Fifteen silvers, five for this one, ten for that one."


Zhou Lichong and Zhou Liwei: ...Money from scholars is indeed easy to earn.
