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 95: Meat Soup

Zhou Wulang had brought a large cauldron, originally intended for boiling water to bathe at home.

The other one for boiling the broth was smaller.

Zhou Wulang started a fire, knowing that the bones would need to stew for quite some time to release their flavor. But it was still early, and there was plenty of time before the meal, so he wasn't in a hurry.

So as soon as the fire was lit, he let Sixth watch it while he went across to gather some firewood.

Boiling broth consumes a lot of wood, and if they found more than needed, they could keep some for the next day or take it back home—too much was never a concern.

Manbao was curious about everything and ended up following Zhou Wulang into the woods because Keke urged her to. She dug up quite a few unfamiliar plants and tossed them to Keke, not caring whether the system had already recorded them or not.

The water boiled, and the bones tumbled around inside, slowly leaching out their rich oils.
