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 Emperor tapped the table and said, "Continue besieging Anshi City, think of other ways to attack and enter the city."


If Feng Liang indeed went to Jian'an City, then if they break through Anshi City, there will be no fortress to stop them from heading south. He plans not to go around Jian'an City but directly attack Jian'an and Pyongyang. By then, Jian'an City will be isolated and unsupported, so what's the difference whether it exists or not?


Thus, everyone began sitting daily opposite Anshi City, pondering how to break it.


Manbao ignored them, checked the condition of the injured soldiers daily, then looked at the medicines in the pharmacy. After confirming everything was fine, she turned to go and dig for medicinal herbs.


Bai Erlang followed behind her, puzzled, "We have medicine now, why are you still digging?"
