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 555 Too Many Heads

The next day, Manbao and the others got up early and stretched their bodies in the courtyard before picking up their books to study their morning lessons.

After Zhou SiLang returned from buying breakfast, and they finished eating, they entered the studyroom, with some reading, others copying books, and yet others being tutored.

Manbao had not yet finished copying "Etiquette and Ceremonial," so she copied three pages first. Feeling tired, she put it down and picked up the "Book of Han" to read.

Bai Shanbao didn't have time to read the "Book of Han" just yet since he needed to focus on the books for the academy's examination. He had Mr. Zhuang explain in detail anything that he did not understand.

Not to mention Bai Erlang, his studies were even further behind Manbao's and Bai Shanbao's, and he required a lot of Mr. Zhuang's time.

Manbao took out a sheet of white paper and began listing names from the "Book of Han" as she read.
