[Dear friends, please add this to your favorites!]
Meng Shuimu is the daughter of a gambler. Her family is so poor that even their cooking pot has been seized to pay off debts.
A creditor shows up at her door with a promissory note, demanding that she marry his lame son in exchange for wiping out the debt.
Looking at her two brothers, thin as bean sprouts, and her sister, as frail as Lin Daiyu, Meng Shuimu grits her teeth, grabs a shovel, and leads a group of little kids down the mountain. They join the Zhengyuan Distillery's crew in a fight over a water source, and together they beat the rival factory in one fell swoop!
After the brawl, she lies in the hospital, pretending to wail in pain.
A handsome man in a suit comes to visit. She grabs his sleeve. "Manager, considering how bravely I sacrificed myself for the distillery, could you give me some compensation..."
The man furrows his handsome brows and asks in surprise, "Manager?"
Meng Shuimu hesitates. "Well, how about this: instead of giving me money, why not let me work at your distillery?"
Meng Shuimu never expected the man to actually secure her a job as a distiller.
A year later, Meng Shuimu has transformed into the only woman running a distillery in the area.
At the same time, she discovers that the man has a terrifying background. He isn't an administrative manager at all...
Another year goes by, and the distillery develops a brand-new sauce-aroma liquor. Delighted, she carries a bottle home, planning to dig another cellar and bury it overnight.
The man complains mournfully, "You have time to hide liquor, but no time for me?"
Meng Shuimu swings her shovel. "This is sauce-aroma liquor! In thirty years, one bottle could sell for nearly 40,000!"
The man: "..." Do we really need you to make that little bit of money for our family?!
