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 545: The Theory of Rebellion

Li Erlang couldn't help but sit up straight and asked with a smile, "Then do you think the Prince of Yizhou is a good official or a bad one?"

"I haven't met him, so how would I know if he's a good official or a bad one?" Manbao answered matter-of-factly, "I'll tell you after I've met him."

Bai Shanbao couldn't help but glance at Manbao, not saying a word.

Li Erlang, who obviously hadn't expected such an answer, smiled and asked, "Then based on what you've heard and seen, do you think the Prince of Yizhou is a good official or a bad one?"

Bai Shanbao couldn't help but say, "He's not a good official."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Bai Shanbao said, "Excluding the year of the flood, two years have also passed, and Yizhou only had a tax exemption for three years. Taxes will be collected again this autumn, and up until now, the price of grain in Yizhou remains high, very different compared to three years ago."
