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 152 Homework

County Magistrate Fu nodded his head, indicating that he understood, but still said, "The county governmental office isn't well-funded. Currently, the meals provided for the laborers follow the old practices. It won't be easy to change the system."

Manbao furrowed her little eyebrows, feeling puzzled about why it would be difficult. Wasn't it just a matter of earning money? Besides, everyone didn't eat that much.

Just as Manbao was about to speak, the Assistant County Magistrate suddenly asked Bai Shanbao, "What is the young master's name?"

Manbao then closed her mouth temporarily, recalling her mother's teaching that one should wait for others to finish speaking before talking, and that interrupting was impolite.

Bai Shanbao puffed out his little chest and said, "My name is Bai Shan."

"Bai?" County Magistrate Fu asked with a smile, "Is Bai Li from Qili Village related to you?"

Bai Shanbao hesitated before replying, "He is my uncle."

"Eh, Bai Li has brothers?"
