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."

Bai Shan packed up his book basket ready to leave when Wei Ting hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Are Erlang and the others not coming to read books today?"

Bai Shan pulled his sleeve out of his grasp and said, "They're not coming."

"Why?"

"Fourth Brother Zhou is coming back from our hometown today, and I need to head home early too, alright, please step aside."

Wei Ting also quickly packed his things to leave, catching up to ask, "Right, our horseback archery class is about to start, are you buying a horse or renting one?"

"I'll just rent one from the school," Bai Shan was now not very fond of the horses raised near Qixia Mountain; although it's normal for a horse to go mad after being whipped, he still doubted its safety.

Wei Ting nodded and said, "Renting is not bad, it's much cheaper too, then we'll go pick out the horses together later."

Bai Shan curiously looked at him, "You're renting a horse?"
