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.

Ms. Qian wanted to persuade her otherwise but the words got stuck in her throat as she looked at the confident Manbao. She reached out and touched Manbao's fair and smooth cheek, seemingly seeing once again that dark, mischievous yet filial and sensible young boy of years past. Back then, he also told her the same, saying that he would surely find enough grain to keep them alive, and even if he couldn't find it, he could still survive alone...
