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."

In Luojiang County, no matter how business declined, there were always two places that were guaranteed to have people, and never lacked for customers.

One was the sundry shop that sold salt; the other was this grain shop.

When Bai Shanbao and his companions arrived, there were only three other customers in the grain shop, but the shop assistant only lifted an eyelid to glance at them before asking, "What would you like to purchase?"

Bai Shanbao said, "We'll just have a look."

The shop assistant nodded, "Feel free to look around, and ask me for the prices once you've decided."

While they were speaking, a customer beside them asked, "Why is the rice still fifty wen per dou? I saw that the wheat in the fields outside has already been harvested."
