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 197: Spring Planting

Before the month had even ended, the tail end of the spring rains started to fall, with the exception of a brief spell of clear weather on the second day of the second month when the Dragon raises its head. Other than that, it was either raining or brewing to rain.

The spring seemed to come exceptionally early this year and with considerable vigor.

After the spring rain and a gust of spring wind, the grass in the fields grew as if it had consumed the nutrients Keke spoke of, shooting up rapidly. The weeds on either side of the path, which barely showed before Manbao went to sleep, were a verdant green by the time she awoke.

Then, Manbao would set off for school with her small book box on her back and carrying an umbrella much too large for her.

The Zhou brothers weren't so fortunate; though the sky drizzled with fine rain, they also had to go out to the fields.

Donning straw raincoats, they shouldered their hoes and plows and went down to the land.
