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 709: Being Robbed

An oblivious Bai Erlang, carrying his own book basket, also came out with Mr. Zhuang, and even reached the carriage side faster than Manbao and the others.

They had just finished school not long ago and hadn't expected to just take a quick stroll here before heading back, which was especially easygoing.

So, Bai Erlang was in a good mood, and upon seeing the three of them come down, he vigorously waved his hands, calling out, "Hurry up, we're just waiting for you."

If they could get home so early, why dawdle?

As the group climbed into the carriage, Bai Shan mentioned going out for dinner, Bai Erlang cheered, asking, "Where are we going to eat?"

After counting his money, Bai Shan said, "Let's go to Zhiwei Restaurant."

Zhou Lijun remarked, "Not sure if Fourth Uncle will be back today, it's already the fifth day, and according to past practice, he should be back by now."
