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."

The price was reasonable, and the servant didn't haggle, pointing to one of the baskets behind, dominated by purple flowers, "I'll take that one."

Manbao eagerly fetched the basket for her, and after taking the money, she waved her paw, "Come back next time!"

The servant thought the child was rather cute, and the serious expression on her face relaxed a bit as she took the basket to her young mistress.

The little girl, holding the basket, admired its beauty and was pleased for a moment. Then she saw something inside and, upon examination, the servant said, "Miss, the child said this is candy, but it's still better not to eat things from the outside..."
