The Lucky Farmgirl

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."

Old Zhou had returned at some point and was now sitting on the side with his mouth agape, watching his wife as she looked at the eldest daughter-in-law. He touched his smoking pipe and finally said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, go and cook. We'll have pancakes tonight. Make a few extra."

Junior Ms.Qian closed her mouth, "Alright," she responded, and turned to head to the kitchen.

The remaining three daughters-in-law saw this and immediately followed suit.

The room was suddenly left with only the Zhous, including the eloquent Mr.Zhou Si.

Old Zhou turned to his wife and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
