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 417: Scare

Old Zhou stared, "Sell? After you got the money, didn't you exchange it for wheat?"

Manbao smiled and nodded, waiting for Old Zhou to praise her.

Old Zhou asked with a trembling voice, "How much did you sell?"

Manbao proudly said, "Sold it all!"

Not just Old Zhou, but Zhou Dalang and several others who were enjoying the cool in the courtyard couldn't sit still anymore; they all crowded around, "Sold it all?"

Old Zhou couldn't remain seated; he slid off the threshold and onto the ground, slapping his thigh and couldn't help but cry out "aiyo, aiyo." He pointed at Manbao with both a can't hit and can't scold expression, he could only cry, "You're ruining the family. What's the use of exchanging for money, can money be eaten, can it?"

Old Zhou shouted, "The family had only a tiny bit left from last year's summer and autumn grain harvests, if you sell all the wheat, what will the whole family eat?"
