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 38: Desk-mate

Early the next morning, while the family was busy, Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang sneaked into the house and cornered Manbao, each taking one of her arms and carrying her to the backyard. They quietly gave her the money they had made from selling candy the day before, "In total, it's forty coins, which is just right including the deposit. Miss Fu really seemed to like them and said she'd buy from us again. Can you ask Mr. Zhuang where he gets his candy and if it's expensive?"

Zhou Wulang had clearly thought of the idea of reselling. Manbao counted out twenty coins for herself and divided the rest between the two boys, saying, "I asked the teacher already, and he introduced that person to me. Now we're friends; don't worry, I will buy a lot of candies and bring them back for you. Only we have this kind of candy. Next time you go to sell, tell her it's one coin per piece."

Zhou Liulang felt it was too expensive, "Won't it be hard to sell?"
