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 658: Worshiping the Gods

Manbao not only paid her respects to the Heaven Master at home but also went to the Daoist temple on the mountain to offer her prayers.

The Daoist priests at the temple were particularly welcoming to Ms. Qian and her daughter, mainly because Ms. Qian would always bring a basket of chicken eggs on each visit and, with the publicity from the Zhou family, the temple had gained a considerable reputation in the area. On holidays and festivals, the number of people going up the mountain to pray to the deities surged.

Those who encountered difficulties also frequented the temple more often.

With more people, the incense offerings became abundant. As the incense smoke thrived, their livelihood improved significantly.

Consequently, the temple even started business dealings with the local doctor below the mountain; sometimes, the priests would give medicinal herbs to the faithful to take home when they came to pray about illnesses.
