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 27: Cockfighting

Zhou Wulang and the others also thought Manbao was very impressive and asked, "Manbao, how did you figure that out?"

Zhou Liulang said embarrassingly, "I have been calculating for a long time and couldn't figure it out."

Daya testified for him, "Sixth Uncle started calculating when we had four or five baskets left, and by the time we finished wrapping them up, he still hadn't figured it out."

Manbao explained while counting on her fingers, "It's very simple, there are twenty-four baskets in total, and each costs five coins, so twenty baskets are exactly one hundred coins, two baskets are ten coins, and four are twenty coins, so one hundred plus twenty coins is one hundred and twenty coins, right?"

The four Wulang's eyes sparkled as they counted on their fingers for a long time without understanding, "Why are twenty baskets one hundred coins?"

Manbao said as if it was the most natural thing in the world, "Because ten baskets are fifty coins."
