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 214: Going to the Countryside

The county magistrate's visit to the countryside, according to the chief, must showcase the best side, nothing less. If asked about any difficulties, the answer must surely be that there are none.

So, a day in advance, he spread the word to Qili Village that if the county magistrate didn't show up it wouldn't matter, but if he did, they must clean up the village roads and each household should tidy up their homes and bring out their best items.

White rice would be too fake, and even the chief dare not make such a demand, so he insisted that each family prepare meals as they would for the New Year.

Since it had been many years since a county magistrate had visited Qili Village, many of the villagers lacked the experience of hosting a high official, and the village head could only pass along the chief's instructions.
