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 558: Hosting a Banquet (Birthday special for the reader "Jinyiwei: Rongrong")

Zhou Silang went next door to borrow a hoe, and proceeded to clear the space next to the storeroom that bordered the Yan Family's wall, where he planted all sorts of flowers and plants indiscriminately.

Only then did he go to look for Manbao's honeysuckle, and was horrified to discover that only one plant was left.

Zhou Silang couldn't help but exclaim, "Weren't there two plants?"

Manbao guiltily turned and ran, "I killed one."

Zhou Silang was more than a little angry; he cherished the remaining plant even more, so he took it back to his room, deciding to buy a clay pot today.

After Manbao took a bath and changed her clothes,she slipped into the study where Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Lan were reviewing Bai Shanbao's completed essay. Catching sight of Manbao entering, they gestured for her to come, asking, "Where did you run off to just now?"

Manbao approached, saying, "Teacher, I've copied all my books, and I was a bit tired, so I went out for a walk."
