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 378: Following Manbao

Yang Heshu pondered and asked, "If you had a cow, could it replace a laborer?"

"Hey, sir, you must be joking. A cow is not just equivalent to one laborer—it's like three laborers. People like me have to stop and rest after walking up three rows, but if you feed a cow well, it can keep going for ten or eight rows without stopping. A cow's endurance is much stronger than a human's."

Yang Heshu hadn't realized the usefulness of a cow was so great and quickly asked, "If the County Governmental Office was willing to let you buy a cow on credit, would you be interested?"

Manbao couldn't help but sit up straight, they hadn't settled the earlier matter yet, and now was County Magistrate Yang about to abandon her for someone else?

"This won't do. Can people like us even afford to buy a cow?"
