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 75: Not Afraid of the Unfamiliar

Manbao also took the opportunity to promote herself, "I can recognize many other herbs as well."

"Oh, what other herbs can you recognize?"

Manbao hopped off the chair, ran out, and brought back a dirty yam for him to see, "Look!"

The shopkeeper looked at the long piece of yam in amazement, then glanced at Manbao, and asked, "Did you dig this up?"

"No, it was my brothers who dug it up!"

Not yours to be proud of, right?

The shopkeeper said, "You recognize yam?"

Manbao replied, "I do."

Manbao had recently seen many attractive illustrations in a herbal medicine book, which she had memorized, so she began counting off on her fingers to the shopkeeper, "I've seen astragalus, licorice, and even ginseng; but what I like the most are red dates."

The shopkeeper simply started chatting with her, asking, "Why?"

"Because the book says red dates are sweet and crunchy, and I like to eat sweet fruit."

"Do you have a herbal book at home?"
