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 198: Whistle (Additional update at the recommendation of 170,000 tickets by Yun Qi)

Before transplanting the rice seedlings, Old Zhou's family had already scattered wheat and bean seeds in the fields. After the transplanting was completed, the wheat and bean sprouts had emerged, along with countless wild weeds.

Thus, spring labor entered its second phase—weeding.

This task was suitable for men and women, young and old, and even Manbao followed along to weed in the fields closest to home.

There were basically two methods of weeding: one was extensive, and the other, meticulous.

For the former, wielding a hoe, one would lightly hoe through the field, uprooting the weeds along the ridges and covering the weeds in the furrows with soil.

Not only could some weeds be removed, but this also provided more soil nutrients for the wheat or bean sprouts.

The latter method involved using a small hoe to thoroughly remove all the weeds from the furrows and ridges, and then transport them out of the field.
