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 227: The Visitor

Manbao went to Old Master Bai's house in utter confusion.

The servants at Old Master Bai's were very familiar with Manbao, and when they heard she came to see the young master, they let her in.

Manbao rushed to the front hall, but before she could reach it, she heard voices inside. Instead of going forward rashly, she first peeked into the room from behind the door.

Bai Shanbao noticed her right away. There was no helping it—he was standing behind his grandmother, while his grandmother and Bai Shupo sat at the top end of the table, facing the door.

When a familiar round head peeked from behind the door, it was hard for him to ignore her.

Bai Shanbao winked at her, signaling her to wait, and that he'd come to find her in a bit.

Manbao winked back at him in response.

The visitors were three elegantly dressed men, conversing with the Old Madam. They had their backs to Manbao, but strangely, one of them seemed to sense something and abruptly turned around.
