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."

Cold sweat broke out on Chief Mo's forehead all at once.

County Magistrate Tang picked up the gavel and slapped it down hard, bellowing angrily, "Collusion between officials and civilians, shielding each other, are you challenging me, or is the entirety of your district contemplating rebellion against Great Jin?"

Upon hearing this, both Chief Mo and Chief Sun immediately fell to the ground, crying out fervently, "Lord Tang, we beg for mercy, we have no intention of rebelling at all."

Chief Mo turned his head towards Chief Sun and shouted, "Chief Sun, are you still going to shield your clansmen even now?"
