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 262: Nothing Gained

```

The harvested China root was stored in the junk room because they didn't know how to handle it and didn't dare to wash it. They simply peeled off the clean mud and left it on a winnowing basket to dry.

Zhou SiLang planned to try his luck in the mountains the next day, and he tried hard to convince his father, "Just look at what Manbao has found before, hasn't everything been valuable? Those privet fruits in the mountains, last year, Big Brother and Second Brother dried and sold them for nearly an ounce of silver, and the Chinese yams we're growing in the fields, not to mention the ginger Manbao wants to plant. Our family doesn't make as much money in a whole year of farming as we do from those, so this China root might even be more profitable."

Manbao nodded repeatedly. She based it on scarcity, reasoning that since China root became extinct so early in the future, it must certainly be very valuable, right?
