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 272: Fate

Mother Chen poured out half a bowl of the freshly cooked milk. The aroma filled the entire kitchen, even reaching the noses of those in the courtyard.

Manbao and her siblings followed behind Mother Chen in a line into the legitimate wife's room, watching her feed the milk to the baby.

The milk had a distinct taste, clearly different from the rice soup he had previously enjoyed, so the baby habitually spat it out.

After several unsuccessful attempts to feed him, Mother Chen couldn't help but feel anxious. The milk was hard to come by; how could it be wasted like this?

Unable to help herself, Mother Chen pressed his lips together, forcing the milk down without removing the spoon.

Ms. Qian, sitting by the side, was startled by the action and quickly pulled her hand away. The baby started coughing, his face first turning red and then a shade of blue. He struggled weakly with his limbs, which then gradually slowed down to almost no movement.
