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."

The somewhat chilly bracelet was finally slipped onto her wrist; perhaps due to inexperience, or maybe nervousness, it took Old Zhou a good while to get it on.

But Ms. Qian was certain he must have practiced it—otherwise, how could he have accurately put the bracelet onto her wrist in the dim night light coming from outside?

By the moonlight, Ms. Qian stared blankly at the slender bracelet on her wrist and these thoughts just ran through her mind.

She knew something was off with him these past few days; he was acting strangely, not going up the mountain with Four to hunt for mushrooms or look for China root, nor did he check on his rice and wheat crops. Instead, he just sat at home, fidgeting here and there.

She thought it was because Aunt Lai had been spreading stories of his foolish youth, but she never expected it was because of this.

Old Zhou waited for a long while, and seeing that she didn't make a sound, couldn't help but cough loudly.
