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."

Chapter 132: Jiang Makes a Move (Extra update for 20,000 recommendation votes at the start)

The harvested beans were spread out in the courtyard to dry; once they were sufficiently dry, they could be threshed. After threshing the beans, it was time to harvest the rice, which then had to be de-husked, dried, and by the time all these tasks were done, it was already past Mid-Autumn Festival and into September.

During this busy period, naturally, nobody had time to think about growing ginger or anything like that. Zhou Silang was bustling around daily, almost wearing himself to the bone. Every evening as soon as it got dark, he insisted on sleeping in his hay shed, and every morning, he was awakened by a kick from Zhou Wulang.

No matter how tired he was, he still made sure to guard the ginger field. In his words, they had come too far to give up now as this was critical to his debt repayment.
