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 535: Annotations to the Water Classic

Mr. Zhuang placed the book basket containing his and Bai Ershu's books to one side, and dragged over the two large book baskets filled to the brim by Manbao and the others.

He first set aside the paper books, then picked up the bamboo slips and asked, "Which one is the 'Commentary on the Water Classic'?"

Manbao immediately stepped forward with Bai Shanbao to help look through the slips. Although the bamboo slips looked similar from the outside, actually, each volume had a different number of slips, so they varied in thickness. Those with keener senses could also feel the differences.

Mainly, since they were the ones who had found these slips, the two had a recollection of them.

They opened the slips and could distinguish whether they were the 'Commentary on the Water Classic' just by glancing at the first entry, then handed it to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang took the bamboo slips and sat down under the lamp to study them closely.
