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 146: Bribery (Additional update for achieving 105,000 recommended votes on Yunqi)

The one responsible for this matter was the county military officer and the local chief. When he asked around at the time, they all said it was incredibly sturdy. It wasn't some dangerous dam; usually, a newly constructed one could hold for ten years without any issue. Even if it was slightly less than perfect, seven or eight years should be fine, right?

But it collapsed in less than five years, and this was even after the flood season had passed. Had it not been so...

Just thinking about the consequences made County Magistrate Fu shiver uncontrollably.

The court wouldn't care who built that embankment; if something happened during his term, it would be his responsibility.

So he had to repair the dam, and repair it well!

But where would the money come from?

Mr. Zhuang, who rarely sat down with Old Master Bai to eat and drink, was also talking about the embankment issue. "The chief came to see me today, mentioning that the county governmental office might issue a labor order."
