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 228 Questioning

Bai Shanbao: "I'm better now."

Mr. Zhuang: ...Ill to the point of having to ask for leave to take care of the grandson, and then better in just one morning?

What kind of illness comes on so quickly and goes away just as fast?

Mr. Zhuang gave Bai Shanbao a look but didn't ask him any more questions. Once all the students were seated in their places, he announced that the students from Qili Village could take a half-day off that afternoon. They all needed to go back home to their parents, and as for why, their parents would tell them.

Mr. Zhuang didn't inform them of much else.

And so, with Manbao and the others holding hands and carrying their small book boxes, as soon as they had left, Mr. Zhuang said to the remaining students, "You may rest here at noon, and the afternoon will mainly be calligraphy practice. Take out your paper and brushes and practice writing. Lu Feng, you're the eldest, so you're in charge of looking after them."
