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."

Zhou Lijun said, "Grandpa, in a couple of days, I'll be going to Yizhou City with Fourth Uncle. Why don't we take it to my junior aunt on the way?"

"Your junior aunt has money on her. Carrying so much money while traveling could be risky; what if she loses it?" Old Zhou refused and said, "Anyway, she'll be coming back for the New Year, and I'll give it to her then."

Zhou Lijun always felt that his grandfather wanted to cheat his junior aunt out of her money, which worried him.

The Zhou brothers, however, didn't pay much attention, because they knew that their father's words were not final; it all depended on their mother's opinion.

Even if they were to collect their youngest sister's money, it would be their mother who kept it, and their father would probably only get to see it.

So, as Ms. Qian didn't speak, none of the Zhou brothers expressed any opinion.
