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 209: Influence (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)

Zhou Erlang's eyeballs were popping out, Manbao let out a gasp, and finally unable to feign honesty, poked her head out from behind Second Brother and asked, "Did the price of beans go up?"

"Beans? They did, but not outrageously so; it's about twelve wen per dou," the stall owner glanced at the crowd pouring in to make purchases and lowered his voice, "But I reckon they'll rise even further, so if your family has grain, don't sell it to the grain merchants too soon. Hold on a bit longer, and you might get a much higher price."

Joy lit up Zhou Erlang's eyes, but he also felt heartache. After last fall's harvest, their family had sold some grain. If they had kept it, by now they could have made more than double the money...

Joy also lit up Manbao's eyes. Glancing at their tofu, she tugged on Second Brother's shoulder and whispered into his ear, "Second Brother, we need to raise the price of our tofu."
