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 319: Building a Chicken Coop

Old Zhou sat on the threshold looking up at the sky, while Manbao, having just finished her notes and following Keke's advice, came out to give her eyes a rest by gazing into the distance. Seeing her dad sitting on the threshold, she joined him, and they both looked up at the sky together.

Big and small, they sat on the threshold in silence until passing villagers, unable to help themselves, chuckled and asked, "What are you two looking at?"

Old Zhou sighed deeply, "Looking at the sky."

Manbao nodded solemnly, "Looking at the clouds."

Villagers also looked up at the sky, saw the sunset clouds, and leaned against the wall to join in, "Uncle Jin, do you think the weather will clear up?"

Today, there had been two showers, on and off, and although the sun had come out in the afternoon, such weather still made it difficult for everyone to harvest the rice.
