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 148: Envious (Additional update for 110,000 recommendation votes from Yun Qi)

Early in the morning, a team of laborers had already gone upstream to intercept the river water; they also needed to dig trenches to divert some of the water. Now the river was slowly subsiding, but it couldn't be completely cut off just yet. However, it was shallow enough for people to stand in the middle of the river.

They had to first clear out the scattered rocks and remaining undisturbed mud from the riverbed, then they would start to construct the embankments.

The County Governmental Office estimated that the task would take around twenty days.

Zhou SiLang looked on from the bank as he and others moved stones larger than a person and cleared out trash and soil from the river embankments. Just one day's work and there were already blood marks on his shoulders, but even so, his job was easier than those working in the river.
