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 253: Very Pleased

Wei Zhi looked at the two children in surprise, then glanced at Mr. Zhuang and asked with a smile, "How old are you this year?"

Bai Shanbao proudly said, "I'm eight years old!"

Manbao added, "That's in nominal age!"

Bai Shanbao: "...you're only six years old!"

Manbao snorted and said, "I'll soon be older than you, girls grow faster than boys."

Wei Zhi burst into laughter and asked, "Who told you that?"

Manbao boasted, "My friend!"

Of course, the friend was Keke.

Perhaps the land and water of Qili Village suited Bai Shanbao well. Since last year, he had grown rapidly. Initially, he was only half a head taller than Manbao, but now he was nearly a head taller.

During their last quarrel, Manbao had hit him in anger, and when they fought, she found it much harder to take him down, almost biting him in the end.

At that time, Keke had comforted her, saying in two years she would grow faster than Bai Shanbao because girls generally develop earlier than boys.
