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 398: Yield per Acre

Old Zhou's family had a habit of keeping records, but they generally only recorded the best and the worst plots of land.

The reason they did this was because of Ms. Qian.

Zhou Dalang quietly told them that when he was young, his parents would fight every year during the spring planting and the autumn harvest.

The arguments during the spring were because Ms. Qian complained that Old Zhou was lazy. She wanted him to break up the large clumps of earth and refine them. He never listened.

And the arguments during the harvest were due to the fact that, with many mouths to feed and not enough land, no matter how Ms. Qian crunched the numbers, the harvested grains were never enough to last the family throughout the year, prompting her to bring up the accounts from the spring planting again.
