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 57: Favoritism

Zhou Wulang, in the end, couldn't get any extra sugar from Manbao. Shaking his head with a sigh, he led Sixth and Erya on their way—yes, Erya.

Today, it was Erya's turn to go to the county town with them.

Zhou Dalang and the others, carrying their baskets on their backs, left with them to pick the ligustrum berries their mother had mentioned.

Manbao followed them out of the house too—she was off to school!

Upon arriving at school, she found that half of the students were already there. Bai Shanbao was sitting attentively in his seat, engrossed in reading, so she too hurried over, placed her book on the table, opened it, and then turned her head to look at her deskmate.

Bai Shanbao finished reading this section with a nod and a shake of the head before stopping to look at his buddy, asking with a straight face, "What's up?"

"It's nothing much, just wanted to let you know that my dad agreed to let my brother help build your house. Have you chosen a location yet?"
