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 251: Public Sentiment

Such things do happen; some families, to ensure their children survive, will give them all sorts of strange nicknames. There are quite a few boys who are directly called sister or sis as pet names.

Some even dress their boys in skirts and pierce their ears when they are young, raising them just like girls, because people believe girls are easier to raise than boys.

So by giving them girls' names and dressing them in girls' clothes, it's like leaning their fate towards that of a girl's, making it easier for the child to survive.

The current Emperor even has a well-known nickname, Cat Slave.

Anyway, pet names are chosen as humbly as possible.

Zhou Xi said, "No, not in my family, my little sister's nickname is Manbao, we don't do humble nicknames at our house."

He paused, then added, "None of our children have died young; they all survived."
