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 206: Anxiety

Manbao and Bai Shanbao simultaneously turned their heads to glare at him, both itching to beat him up, but with the teacher present, both wisely refrained from doing so.

Mr. Zhuang snapped back to reality and, looking at the carefree trio of children, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Manbao asked with concern, "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Mr. Zhuang looked at her for quite a while before he finally said, after a long silence, "The Minjiang River has breached its banks."

"Where is the Minjiang River?"

Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment, then spread out a large sheet of paper, summoning the three disciples close, and started drawing a map with a pen, "The Minjiang River is above Yizhou…"

Although the children were young, Mr. Zhuang would occasionally teach them about geography, starting, of course, with the local area.
