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 147: Asking Around

The Chief was about to leave when he suddenly met Manbao's eyes, his steps involuntarily catching before he stopped and asked, "Is this your little girl?"

Manbao lifted her small face and flashed him a sweet smile, prompting the Chief to subconsciously respond with a slight smile of his own.

Old Zhou's heart skipped a beat as he answered and pulled Manbao over, whispering, "Quick, call him Chief Grandpa."

Manbao's crisp voice called out, "Hello, Chief Grandpa!"

The Chief couldn't help but break into a smile, the wrinkles on his face bunching together; he stretched out his somewhat withered hand to touch her small head and said with a laugh, "Good, good..."

As the Chief left with his entourage to collect money from the next household, Manbao touched her own small head and looked up at her dad, "Why does everyone like to touch my head?"
