System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother

When Lin Miao came back from washing clothes, her third son had already bought the things.

When she looked, she found that there was quite a lot: 4 pounds of brown rice, 5 eggs, a large piece of tofu, a few handfuls of green vegetables, a handful of salt, and more than one penny of silver left.

It seems that the purchasing power of this money is still good.

Although she was born in the countryside, she had never used firewood much, so she asked the third son to light the fire while she cooked dinner.

Lin Miao quickly prepared dinner. Although it was a little simple, it was the first proper meal she had eaten in this world.

Wang Sen couldn’t remember how long it had been since he had eaten such a delicious meal. Although there was no meat, his mother had fried all the eggs, which were so delicious.

Unfortunately, some people only remember to eat and not to be beaten. If Wang Hai didn’t come, his precious son would come.

The little fat boy rushed over when he smelled the fragrance and said, "Old woman, if you don't give me the delicious food, I won't call you grandma."

How could Lin Miao spoil him? Naughty kids must be beaten.

She grabbed the fat boy and spanked him on the butt: "You little brat, you don't know how to respect the elderly, I will teach you a lesson."

When Fang heard the noise, she ran over and protected her son: "Grandma, grandma, please don't hit the child. He is our eldest grandson..."

Lin Miao knew that this woman was scheming and never showed up in person. She always made moves behind her back. She pretended to fail and slapped her twice.

Fang ran back crying, holding her son.

Wang Hai said nothing: Where is his mother who loves her children and grandchildren?

Lin Miao took the mushrooms she had picked from the mountains and walked towards the village head's house.

Lin Miao gave the mushrooms to the village head's wife and said, "These are the mushrooms I picked on the mountain this morning. Let me give you a taste."

The wife of the village head hurriedly took it and looked at the mushrooms, feeling quite happy.

Even if you don't use these mushrooms to stew chicken, you can use them to make some mushroom soup. "Hey, look at you, you just came. We are from the same village, why are there so many etiquettes?"

Lin Miao smiled and said, "Excuse me, my family is splitting up today, and I need Xu Lizheng's help with something."

The wife of the head of the village certainly knew that her family was splitting up today. After all, the division of households had to go through the head of the village.

She asked her grandson to invite Xu Lizheng to come to the main room to talk.

Lin Miao bowed to Xu Lizheng and explained the purpose of her visit.

When Xu Lizheng heard that she was going to apply to be a hunter, he was shocked and said angrily: "How can you, a woman, go hunting? Isn't that throwing your life away? No matter how difficult it is, you can always survive. I heard that your family split up today and there is no one to take care of you in your old age. This is your Wang family's business. If you don't come to me, I shouldn't ask. But, you have several sons, but you let a widow live alone. It's really unreasonable."

Lin Miao had no intention of whitewashing a few unfilial sons. They were indeed unfilial. They did not try their best to treat their mother when she was sick. This was extremely unfilial.

He said, "Village head, I know you are the most fair, but you don't know that I have been strong since I was a child, and I have also had the opportunity to learn some hunting skills, so I can support myself."

"This son is unfilial. If anyone tells others about this, it will only bring shame to our Sanhe Village. I will teach them a lesson when I have a chance. Please help me get a certificate. I will go to the county tomorrow to handle the change to hunter."

Xu Lizheng said, "You want to change to hunters, but you know that hunters have to pay 5 taels of silver tax per person a year and then apply for a certificate. Your family is now a household of two people, so you have to pay 10 taels. After the autumn harvest, you have to go into the mountains to perform the corvée of hunters. That is a dangerous thing. It is too dangerous for you as a woman."

Lin Miao repeatedly assured her that she could do it, and Xu Lizheng saw that she had made up her mind. He had no choice but to shake his head and issue the village certificate.

Lin Miao woke up early the next day, called San'er to light the fire, and made breakfast. Although it was brown rice, it was thick and with some pickles, it tasted okay.

She said to Wang Sen: "Find two people to come to our house today and build a wall between us and the old house."

She had to get the money out of here quickly, she couldn't accept this environment.

After the meal, Lin Miao gave the third brother the dime from yesterday, and she didn't care about anything else. In ancient times, some 15-year-old boys were already living on their own, so it was time for Wang Sen to start training.

Wang Sen took it happily. Working in the town only earned 20 to 30 cents a day. In the village, building a wall would not cost so much.

Lin Miao didn't care how he handled it. She said to him, "Mom has to go out to do some things today. Try to finish the partition wall before tonight."

Then he took his family's household registration and set off with a basket.

She followed the original owner's memory and the flow of people, and arrived at the town in half an hour.

This is a very small town called Anping Town.

There are two small cloth shops in the town, which mainly sell common fabrics, but also some ready-made clothes.

Lin Miao was very resentful of her tattered clothes.

She chose two plain ready-made clothes, went to the fitting room to put on one, and packed the other and put it in the basket.

It took only a quarter of an hour for Lin Miao, wearing new clothes, to get on the ox cart to the county town.

It would take about two hours and cost 2 copper coins to take a bullock cart from Anping Town to the county town. It would be noon when she arrived at the county town.

At this time, the government office was closed, so she found a small shop near the county government office, ordered a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a bowl of rice, then sat down and started eating.

After finishing lunch, she looked at the time and walked quickly to the place where the household registration was managed.

After asking several people, she finally found a clerk under the county magistrate and explained that she wanted to apply for a hunter certificate.

The clerk looked at her sideways and did not answer.

Lin Miao...
