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."

"It was the Heaven Master who said it," Ms. Qian, who had been paying attention to this conversation while spreading manure nearby, put down her winnowing basket and affirmed with certainty, "When Manbao was just one year old, I had a dream where the Heaven Master told me that our Manbao is the smartest person within a hundred miles. But we only talk about this within our own home; we dare not spread it outside."

The villagers sitting and resting on the neighboring plot of land burst into laughter upon hearing this, joking, "Auntie Qian, Manbao didn't listen to you, though. I remember hearing her mention this a few years back, ha ha ha, and she even said it was a friend who told her. Turns out it was Auntie who said it!"

Ms. Qian replied calmly, "She didn't say anything wrong. She said she wanted to be friends with everyone, but the child must have been afraid of getting a beating from me if I heard it, that's why she said that."
