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 212: Dealing (Additional Chapter for 200,000 Votes from Yunqi)

Zhou Erlang had already sold all his tofu and was now selling bamboo wares when he spotted the steamed buns wrapped in lotus leaves in their embrace. Unable to help it, the tantalizing aroma wafted over to him in waves.

Thinking of how expensive grain prices were these days, Zhou Erlang couldn't help but chastise in a low voice, "Don't waste money when we're out, let's endure it a bit longer, we'll go back soon, and tomorrow, we'll bring our own dry food."

It was mainly because they hadn't expected the soaring prices in the county town, otherwise they would have definitely brought their own provisions.

"By the way, how much are buns now?"

Zhou Liulang: "Two coins each."

"Meat buns?"

"No, vegetarian buns."

Zhou Erlang's eyes widened, "It doubled?"

Manbao nodded empathetically, "Second Brother, the brother who was selling buns said that the price of rice has already risen to thirty-two coins."
