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 572: Conflict

After the quarrel subsided, Daji stepped forward with the kite in his hands, "Young Master, Miss Man, this is the kite I just retrieved."

Manbao glanced down at it and couldn't help exclaiming with a "wow," taking a closer look, she marveled, "What a beautiful kite, huh?"

Bai Shanbao also found it very beautiful and after looking at it for a while, asked, "Is it a phoenix?"

"It is indeed a phoenix," a young man nearby also came over to look, and the one leading them said, "And it's made of silk. Such kites can only be made and afforded by noble families. Did you get it down from that tree just now?"

All three nodded in agreement.

The young men envied their good fortune and after inspecting the kite added, "The frame is still intact, and the silk isn't damaged. A bit of tidying up and it can fly again."

Manbao particularly liked the design, most of all because it was brightly colored and made to look very lifelike; she held it in her arms and looked at Bai Shanbao.
