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 48: Nostalgia

Old Master Bai also felt pain for Bai Erlang, initially thinking that his two sons had been beaten by someone again. While ordering servants to take him away for a bath and a body inspection, he inquired about the incident from the servant who had brought the child back.

The other two classmates who had returned with Bai Erlang were also taken away to bathe and change clothes.

The servant knelt on the ground, with his head bowed, and relayed everything he had witnessed in full detail.

Old Master Bai's face grew colder and more livid by the minute, leaving both the arriving Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai at a loss for how to face Ms. Liu.

Fortunately, Ms. Liu kept her composure. She turned to console Old Master Bai and his mother, saying, "What child doesn't act up? The two of them are close in age; this is all normal."

What was normal about that?

If it had been just a typical fight or quarrel, that would have been one thing, but this child was trying to put him in a sack!
