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 485: Advise on Farming and Mulberry Cultivation

Half a year after Yang Heshu took office, he finally clashed with the local grain merchants and gentry.

Unlike Old Master Bai, most of the grain shops in Luojiang County were essentially run by local gentry or big gentry from the state capital.

When Old Master Bai moved to Luojiang County years ago and saw that the county grain shops were impenetrable, he didn't get involved in that business and only bought a couple of stores in the county to conduct some small-scale transactions through his managers.

The grain shops he owned in the Mianzhou region were not vast either, just a few small ones that couldn't even sell off his own surplus grain.

However, Old Master Bai didn't like to sell his grain to Luojiang's merchants. He had his specific partners, with Grain Merchant Wu being just one of them.

But the local grain merchants and gentry of Luojiang County were different; what Yang Heshu did was akin to snatching food from the jaws of a tiger. It'd be a wonder if they were pleased.
