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 518: Plan

The time for lunch was still a ways off, so the restaurant was empty and everyone took a moment to rest before they began to bustle about with their tasks.

Under Ms. Qian's arrangements, Zhou Dalang and the others went to fetch water and purchase food ingredients, as the unexpectedly large number of customers today meant the vegetables brought over yesterday, as well as the meat bought today, were insufficient.

The remaining people took to washing dishes and tidying up the tables and chairs, while Junior Ms. Qian led Zhou Xi, Ms. He, and others in handling the kitchen affairs.

They needed to make steamed buns and let the dough rise for making noodles…

Manbao and the other youngsters took out the money they had received that day, stringing it up piece by piece, a hundred coins per string, ten strings per bundle.

Their food wasn't expensive, and ordinary people mostly paid with copper coins, so they didn't receive any silver.
