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 491: The Gold Lump

Once a person gets irritable, it's easy to make mistakes, and the handwriting starts to become sloppy..."

"But you'll need to take part in the imperial examination in the future. Each time, a considerable amount of writing is required; after drafting, you must copy onto the exam paper. What if you write too slowly, run out of time, and your writing speed is still slow? Wouldn't that be disastrous?"

Bai Erlang, surprised by each word he heard, realized for the first time he had such a grand goal. So, he asked in bewilderment, "Dad, why do I need to take the imperial examination too? Isn't that for my older brother?"
