Just when I was about to rest in my old age, a strange discovery changed my whole life in an instant. Now I’m not the honored pensioner Maria Stepanovna, but the young noblewoman Mari, the heir of a mysterious uncle who left all his property to his niece. Only this inheritance doesn’t give my new relatives peace—they want, at any cost, to seize everything for themselves. They don’t know that I inherited nothing more than an old, long-abandoned smithy standing at the crossroads of three roads. But I have an idea how to turn it into the most popular tavern in the area.
