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 139: Admitting Mistakes

Manbao pursed her lips and stretched out her hand, "Hand it over!"

Zhou Silang was reluctant, Zhou Wulang rushed over to block the door, and Zhou Liulang, Datou, and Daya glared fiercely at Zhou Silang.

He felt somewhat aggrieved; everyone had money in their hands, and he was the only one without any, even unable to buy a bun when visiting the county town—only able to look on hungrily.

Zhou Silang's eyes reddened with distress; he wiped his eyes and fished out the copper coins from his pocket, slapping them into Manbao's hand. There were so many that the coins clinked and scattered onto the floor. He hadn't emptied his pocket completely and had to reach in three times before getting them all out.

Datou, Daya, Second Son, and Erya immediately knelt down to pick them up.

Zhou Silang crouched on the ground, wiping away tears, overcome with misery.
