The Lucky Farmgirl

It was impossible to get Ms.Qian to give her any money, so in the end it was Manbao who reluctantly took out the money she had made from selling sugar during the Lantern Festival and gave fifty copper coins to Zhou ErLang, saying, "Second Brother, go buy a chicken to eat."

It was only after receiving the money that Zhou ErLang said, "Chicken is too expensive. Let’s buy pork instead. With this amount, we can buy it five times."

Manbao was unhappy, "Pork isn’t as tasty as chicken, and one jin won’t be enough."

Zhou ErLang thought his little sister was being too picky, but since she was the one providing the money, he could not win the argument and could only say, "Alright, then. I’ll go to Zhou Hu’s place and pick out a plumper chicken."

Only then was Manbao satisfied.

When Zhou Hu saw that Manbao’s family came to buy a chicken again, he couldn’t help asking, "You all raise quite a few chickens at home. Why do you keep buying them?"

"We’ve killed almost all the chickens that don’t lay eggs at home. How could we bear to kill those that are laying eggs?"

Since it was the New Year, it was natural that they wouldn’t just eat the meat bought from outside; they had also slaughtered quite a few of their own chickens over the past two months.

Zhou Hu couldn’t help saying, "Your family really spoils Manbao. Last year alone, Manbao came and bought three chickens from us."

Of course, Zhou ErLang couldn’t let his youngest sister have such a reputation, and immediately said, "My sister is stubborn. She occasionally heard a doctor in the city mention that our mother needs to eat more meat for her health, so for the past six months, whenever my mother has trouble breathing, she insists on eating meat."

Zhou Hu was surprised and, after thinking it over, said, "Auntie’s complexion does look better than before. I even saw her heading to the fields just now."
