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 637 Unintentional Guidance

Junior Ms. Qian knew that Manbao had poor health, feared cold in winter, and heat in summer.

Her appetite waned with the heat, hardly craving foods like flatbreads or stuffed pancakes, and now they were on the road...

Although it was just for one day, Junior Ms. Qian was also very distressed.

So she rose before dawn to roll out dough and boiled a large pot of noodles, which she then soaked in cool boiled water, before adding a little water to a crock and pouring the cooled, drained noodles into it.

She minced several pieces of leftover chicken and a fried fish from the night before, stir-fried them with oil and salt, and then packed them into a small jar.

Only then did she make a bowl of tofu pudding and a bowl of egg noodles for Manbao. The rest she handed over to Zhou SiLang to tuck away in the carriage, saying, "At lunch, just lift the noodles out, add some minced meat from the small jar, and a bit of sweet sauce, and that'll do."
