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 233: Fear

Mr. Zhuang looked at Ms. Liu strangely, as if a thought had struck him.

Ms. Liu, however, did not look at him and instead focused on the eyes of the man, seeing the fear at the bottom of his eyes. She knew then that her suspicion was correct.

She turned to the village head, smiling, "Speaking of which, I'm partly responsible for this affair. After all, I brought the man into the village without proper inquiry. The medical treatment and medicine for those injured today will be paid for by me. I'll have my steward compensate for the damaged property later. I truly apologize."

Old Zhou, feeling guilty, of course could not agree. He felt that the man likely targeted his family specifically and couldn't let Ms. Liu, who was implicated, pay the money.

So he hurriedly said, "If anything, it's my children's impulsiveness that started a quarrel and led to this incident. Compensation should rightly come from us."
