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 377: With Conditions (Extra chapter as a reward for the book friend "Gail")

Yang Heshu pondered for a moment, retrieving some precedents from memory, and laughed, "I remember there's a precedent where the court lends money to the people, and the monthly interest for one tael of silver ranges from twelve wen to more than thirty-six wen, depending on its purpose. Since you need the loan for farming, how about I set the minimum rate of twelve wen for you?"

Manbao quickly did some mental calculations. One tael was twelve wen, then three taels would be thirty-six wen. By the latest, when they harvested in the autumn, they would have the yield, and they could split the profit from the fields. She was confident she could come up with the three thousand two hundred and sixteen wen.

Manbao immediately nodded, "Good, I want to buy one."

Bai Shanbao quickly said, "We also want to buy one. We have a lot of land, and relying on just three cattle is a bit insufficient."

Such low-interest rates were just too tempting to pass up.
