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 121: Pioneering

January is the most leisurely time of year for people in the countryside; even Zhou Erlang, who was always busy weaving bamboo baskets, stopped his work. Except for those few days around the Lantern Festival, when he took Eldest and Third to set up a stall in the town to sell bamboo baskets, he was not very busy.

Manbao took the opportunity to bring up the matter of clearing land for her eldest sister.

Before Zhou Xi could refuse, Zhou Dalang quickly finished the rice in his bowl and said, "Alright, once we're done with breakfast, we'll all go together. I've seen the patch of land Manbao chose; it's not very big, and there aren't even any trees. It will be easy to clear."

Ms. Qian glanced at her eldest daughter, who wanted to refuse, and nodded, "Hmm, let's go with Manbao's idea."

To Zhou Xi, she said, "That piece of land will be yours, and in the future, you can keep all its yield for yourself."

Zhou Xi felt somewhat uneasy and lowered her head to acknowledge with a sound.
