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 608: A Fox Exploiting the Tiger's Might

The guard's eyes flashed with a dark gleam as he clutched the box, "Open it. Who knows if there's evidence of collusion with assassins inside?"

Bai Erlang was furious, "Where would a student like me conspire with assassins?"

He directly pulled out a key and with a snap, he opened the box, which contained all his belongings, mostly silver, with a small portion being copper coins.

He showed the contents to the guards briefly before closing the box intending to tuck it into his embrace. However, the guard held on and, with an inscrutable expression, said, "I need to take this box with me, to check if there's a hidden compartment."

Manbao and Bai Shanbao, upon hearing the quarrel inside the room, hurried in. Hearing the guard's words, Manbao immediately took out a piece of clothing from a cabinet by the side and spread it on the bed, while Bai Shanbao opened the box again, took out all the money, and very generously handed the box to the guard, "Here, take it and check."
