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 266: Innermost Thoughts

Manbao blinked her eyes. The Liu family village?

Wasn't that her former brother-in-law's village?

Zhou Xi's lips curved, unable to suppress the smile on her face as she said, "She went back to her parents' home a few days ago and saw a lively scene. It was Liu Dalang, his son turned one, and during the birthday celebration, the villagers came to watch and found that the child didn't resemble him much, but looked a lot like someone from the neighboring village, Da Ma Village. Someone from Liu family village who is familiar with that person recognized it immediately."

Manbao was not young anymore and, of course, caught the implications of those words.

Not to mention, she'd heard similar remarks quite often.

For example, when she was younger and visited her uncle's home for New Year, or when guests at Qian Family's house saw her on the street, they liked to pinch her face and then laugh, "This child is so cute, so fair and round, we really don't know whom she resembles."
