    At the eastern end of Wanyang Village, stood the Shen family's house. It was evening, a time when everyone should be cooking, but instead, the crowd returning from the fields gathered at the Shen family's door, buzzing with discussion. The Shen family's precious daughter had fallen into the water! This was big news in Wanyang Village, considering the Shen family had only this one daughter after having six sons! A rare sight indeed! Everyone knew the Shen family doted on Shen An'an, treating her like the apple of their eye. From childhood to adulthood, she had never worked in the fields, never even washed her own clothes, her skin whiter than a city princess. Now, she was unconscious in the water; if anything happened to her, the Shen family would surely cause an uproar! "Useless thing! I was only gone for a short while, and you couldn't even keep an eye on your little sister!" "I think you're doing this on purpose! You just don't want my Anbao to have a good life! I shouldn't have married you in the first place! You can't even tolerate your sister-in-law! You're all a bunch of heartless bastards!" Wang Sufeng, hands on her hips, pointed at her quail-like daughter-in-law, seething with anger. Li Cuier and Zhou Ping stared at their feet, their eyes catching glimpses of the figures watching the commotion at the door and on the wall, their faces burning with embarrassment. Just then, a sound came from the east room.

    The female protagonist in this book helps her younger siblings find jobs, mainly through her existing connections. She finds out people are selling jobs and relays the information home. Her "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage) is the resources provided by the underworld, guaranteeing her basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. It's not the unlimited flow type, and overall it's quite good. The "golden finger" isn't particularly powerful, but it's very suitable for that era. [Admiration][Admiration]

    Nanxi's book recommendations are here! This time, it's about a strong female lead who brings her family to her side 😊 👀The first book proves the saying: "Marrying a good woman can bring prosperity to three generations." This book is truly a family-oriented book about family harmony. 👀The second book is about the male lead's parents' love story, which is a bit of a pity. The female lead is skilled in medicine but clear-headed and not a saint, and the male lead is devoted to her. The ending is very happy. 👀The third book's female lead is incredibly intelligent and socially adept—that's not even enough to describe her. The plot is also very well-structured with no unnecessary details, and the female lead's abilities are not exaggerated at all.

    The first book features a female protagonist who is bound to a temporary worker experience system. Although the jobs are provided by the system, each promotion to a permanent position is due to the protagonist's own abilities. After becoming a permanent employee, she sells the job to her family. It's a pretty good story, one that you can read attentively. The second book features a female protagonist who is a child, but the system is a 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) system for overworked employees. Unable to do anything else, the protagonist has to arrange for her family to all work together, encouraging them to strive for a better life. A point that also attracted me to both books is that no matter who gets the job from the protagonist, they are all genuinely grateful and don't take it for granted. It's really quite good.
