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 330: Battle of Wits

Bai Erlang and Datou sat on stools, thoroughly enjoying the little fish. Datou asked him, "Tastes good?"

Bai Erlang nodded, "Last year's were even tastier."

"That's because the young master's family's cook made them with a lot of oil, of course they were delicious."

Bai Erlang immediately said, "My family has oil as well."

Then he looked at Datou.

He couldn't decide what to do with the fish at home, nor was he allowed to touch the fishing nets.

So, rotating his eyeballs, he said, "I'll get my Fourth Uncle to catch the fish, and you take them home to fry. You'll have to share half with us."

Datou knew how expensive oil was, while the little fish didn't cost money, just effort.

But Bai Erlang didn't see it that way; he thought the oil, which they had at home and didn't cost money, was inconsequential compared to the rarity of the little fish.

So the two made eye contact and struck a deal.
