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 611: Startled Escape (Added for the reward from the book friend "Al Pacino")

They hadn't had their evening meal yet when they returned from doing their laundry. Manbao and Bai Shanbao ran into the kitchen one after the other, each grabbing four steamed buns from the steamer and leaving.

The cook opened her mouth to say something but ultimately decided not to stop them. However, she was puzzled to see them still hungrily devouring steamed buns during dinner, wondering since when the young master and Miss Man had such hearty appetites.

After nightfall, when everyone had retired to their rooms, Manbao tiptoed into the kitchen carrying a small bundle and stuffed it into the cupboard where leftover pastries were still kept from earlier that evening.

Manbao closed the cupboard and quietly snuck back, with Bai Shan keeping watch at the window. Seeing her scurry over like a guilty thief, he couldn't help but break into a grin.

Manbao waved her fist at him and ran back to her room.
