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 488 Going to School Together

Yang Heshu turned his head away and stopped speaking to him. The idea sounded feasible, but he wasn't a fool. Such a thing was not within the power of a minor county magistrate to do, let alone something his father could possibly accomplish.

So, it was best to keep those impractical ideas in mind, but not necessary to inquire further.

However...

Yang Heshu looked at the three children, and finally, his gaze rested on the faces of Manbao and Bai Shanbao; these two children were truly clever.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes and smile, saying to them, "You must study hard and go to the Imperial Academy in the capital city in the future."

Manbao asked curiously, "Can I go to the Imperial Academy too?"

Yang Heshu looked at her with pity but didn't want to dash her hopes directly, "Until today, no woman has been admitted to the Imperial Academy."

Manbao, confident in herself, pointed at Bai Shanbao and said, "If he can get in, I definitely can too."
