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 258 Toolbox

Manbao curiously held the dark brown "tree root" in her hand and seeing the pure white flesh inside, couldn't help but stretch out her finger to poke it.

By now, Keke had already combed through its vast database and found several similar, extinct plant species, though there was still some uncertainty. However, Keke could definitively tell Manbao, "This is a fungal plant."

"Is it edible?"

Keke, not too certain, said, "It should be?"

Manbao then put down the piece she was holding and went to break off the rest. Since it was edible, she thought she might as well take it home; the insides were so white, it might be delicious mixed with Chinese yam.

The plants were growing around a tree stump, hidden under newly sprouted leaves that weren't very noticeable. Manbao had been sitting with her back to them and hadn't paid any attention before.

Even if she had seen them, she wouldn't have suspected they were fungal, for they really resembled clumps of tree roots.
