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 562 Examination

Zhou Silang listened for a while, then, indicating he didn't understand, tapped his bowl and said, "Let's hurry up and eat instead. Even when we know, there's nothing we can do about it. That's a matter for the officials."

Manbao then looked at Bai Shanbao.

Bai Shanbao met her gaze and shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, saying, "Before one becomes an official, one must first pass the entrance examination for the prefectural school."

"Exactly," Manbao said as she placed a piece of meat into his bowl, encouragingly saying, "Eat some more, fill yourself up, then go study."

Bai Erlang looked up from his bowl, "Aren't we off today?"

Bai Shanbao also stared at Manbao, "If I'm going to study, you need to stay with me, otherwise everyone else is playing and I can't concentrate."

Manbao indicated that it was no problem at all.

After all, there wasn't much fun to be had outside anyway.
