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 249: Brocade Folder

With Manbao's single sentence, those who would run off their feet were naturally her older brothers and sisters-in-law. However, this matter was not urgent; the summer harvest had not even started yet. The pressing issue was to repair the roof.

The next day, Zhou Erlang and his group went to the village chief's house to borrow a cart.

When the villagers knew they were going to the city to buy tiles to fix their house, several families who had previously taken money, rice, and eggs from the Zhou Family followed suit.

If there was no cart available, they would carry large bamboo baskets. This way, they could carry the items back directly and avoid making several trips.

Old Zhou went to discuss the planting of winter wheat with the village chief and the village elders.

Although it was still early, such preparations needed to be made in advance, like considering manure, which had to start being prepared from now.
