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 517: Opening a Store

The third day of the Lunar New Year had just passed when Junior Ms. Qian and Zhou Dalang headed to the county town together. They tried every restaurant in the big and small streets of the county town, asking questions all along, and then settled on the prices for their dishes.

In the afternoon of the fourth day, Zhou ErLang and the others tidied up some rice, flour, and beans at home, and by evening, they hauled them to the county town for the couple.

Because it was the first time opening the restaurant, everyone was very nervous. Most of the family went to the county town to help. There wasn't enough room for so many people to sleep, so braving the cold, everyone used the newly purchased tables and stools of the ground-floor restaurant to make shift beds, lying on them with bedding brought from home.

Manbao and a few of the younger children stayed home, only going to join in on the excitement the next day.
