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 219: Betting

Manbao burst into laughter, "If you don't wear it and you get sunburnt, you'll be even uglier. Wearing a straw hat only makes you look half as bad for a while, but getting tanned means looking bad for a lifetime."

Bai Erlang hesitated a bit but still talked tough, "Nonsense, how could I get tanned just by being in the sun for a short while? I often play outside in the sun with my classmates, and I don't get very dark."

That was indeed true, but Manbao scratched her head and, looking at his sunburnt face, she chose to believe Keke over him and Erlang.

She remembered clearly that once when she went out to play, the sun made her feel dizzy. She thought she had a fever, but Keke said it was heatstroke and that having a sunburned face meant she would definitely turn darker the next day and that it would get increasingly worse.

Getting sunburnt was the second step toward getting a darkened face.
