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 45: Soul Painter

Ms. Liu asked what he had learned that day.

Bai Shanbao, experienced in dealing with his grandmother, only told her about the content of the class discussions with Mr. Zhuang, not mentioning his and Manbao's plan to catch bugs to scare Second Cousin.

Even without thinking too hard, Ms. Liu knew her grandson couldn't have been behaving that well in school, especially since Mr. Zhuang had unusually brought up the responsibilities of the County Magistrate.

There must have been a reason for this, but she didn't ask too much. Instead, she waved her grandson over to explain to him what a County Magistrate was and the duties such a role entailed.

Bai Shanbao listened attentively and decided he would tell Manbao the next day, smug in the knowledge that he knew much more than she did.

Seeing her grandson so earnest, Ms. Liu spoke even more thoroughly and with increasing gentleness, unlike his previous rebellious attitude.
