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 410: Thoughts

A group of elderly men discussed the children's marital matters, and it wasn't until Old Zhou had finished a bag of cigarettes that he finally remembered the important business at hand.

He tapped his pipe, emptying the ash and residue, then tucked it behind him at his waist and grabbed a handful of wheat to help rub.

He scoffed inwardly, thinking that if this was how they rubbed wheat at his home, the big stick would have come down on them by now, as he had never seen anyone rub wheat while sitting.

However, since this was someone else's home, of course, it felt more comfortable to sit while rubbing the wheat.

When Old Zhou remembered the urgent business, he asked those present, "Have all of your families' wheat sun-dried yet?"
