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 273: Dispute

Zhou SiLang couldn't help but glare at him, "You still have the nerve to talk? You ran ahead empty-handed, leaving me all alone to lag behind."

"Who says I was empty-handed? I clearly had a hoe on my shoulder," Zhou Wulang said. "I told you to run first, who asked you to turn back and argue with those people? Didn't you see they were in greater numbers?"

Manbao sat to one side, turning her head first to look at one and then the other, finding the scene intriguing.

But Old Zhou didn't find it amusing at all. He slapped his thigh to quiet his sons before asking, "Why were they chasing after you? Did they know you went into the mountains to dig for China root?"

"No, they didn't," Zhou SiLang confirmed. "I asked them, and they were just jealous that we were foraging for wild mushrooms in the mountains."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stupid enough to turn back and argue with them.
