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 466: Metamorphosis

"Your mother chose good wives for your brothers, why do you think that is?"

Manbao: "Why do you think that is?"

"Because your mother suffered a heavy loss before."

Manbao always felt that her grandaunt was mocking her father, yet she lacked solid evidence.

"When your mother first married into the family, what did your father have besides a face?" Aunt Lai criticized, "Your grandfather was no good either, and neither was your grandmother. One was spoiled by your grandmother, see that Laizi's family?"

Aunt Lai said, "Back then, your family was almost as bad as Laizi's. The fields around the village were nearly abandoned, and it wasn't until your grandfather and grandmother leisurely started the spring planting. Always three steps behind everyone else, when others were fertilizing and weeding, they just started planting the seedlings..."

The onlookers and a bunch of children from the Zhou family were all stunned. My God, was this really the Zhou family?
