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."

He swallowed, easing his parched throat slightly, "If you kill me, can you afford the consequences?"

Ms. Liu sat back down in her chair and said, "Not killing you, that's the cost I can't afford. Letting you go, so you can bring more people to slaughter my whole family?"

The man didn't speak.

Ms. Liu asked, "What is your name?"

He didn't answer.

Ms. Liu didn't press him further but simply said, "If you want me not to kill you, you'll need to offer something valuable enough."

"Your question..."
