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

Chapter 11 The Mother of Unfilial Sons Part 11

The clerk thought to himself: You get things done just by talking, what the hell do you want?

Lin Miao: It’s the same in ancient and modern times, little ghosts are difficult to deal with.

She handed over 11 taels of silver.

The clerk was very swift, and with a slip of his hand, the extra ounce of silver disappeared, and he said with a smile: "You are very clever, woman."

He put the extra money into his sleeve, wrote Lin Miao's information and Wang Sen's information on the hunter certificate, took out the seal, clicked it, then waved his hand and let Lin Miao go.

Lin Miao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As in ancient times and today, it is difficult for ordinary people to get things done.

She collected all the documents and left the yamen.

Lin Miao was walking on the streets of the county town.

While looking at the customs and culture of this pristine small county town, she was looking for things she wanted to buy.

She bought some cloth suitable for making underwear and outerwear, a small piece of half-fat and half-lean pork, and a few pounds of rice and flour.

In addition, she went to the iron shop and picked out a machete.

This kind of weapon cannot be bought casually, so the newly-issued hunter certificate is used. But even if you are a hunter, you cannot use the standard knife.

Lin Miao found a money shop and exchanged 100 taels of silver notes for them. He also bought some daily necessities, such as flint, compass and other things he could think of.

I estimated that she spent more than two hours shopping and bought 10 meat buns.

Most of the people on the ox cart were the same people who had come together in the morning. When there were enough people, the cart started moving. It should have been around 5pm at that time.

When Lin Miao was riding in the car, although it was a bit uncomfortable because everyone was sitting so close to each other, she still ate two meat buns.

The child next to him, who was being taken care of by a woman, kept crying, "Mom, I want to eat buns too, woo woo..."

The woman looked at Lin Miao eagerly, but Lin Miao pretended not to see her.

The woman hit her child a few times and said, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. Why are you so greedy?"

Lin Miao sat there leisurely looking around, pretending not to hear.

It takes about an hour to get from Anping Town to Sanhe Village at normal speed, but it was already dark.

It was dark. There were mountains all around here and people generally didn't go out at night, so there were not many people on the streets.

On the road, two short legs were running with a huge basket, almost leaving an afterimage, like a ghost.

Lin Miao's home was at the back of the village, so she took a less traveled route back home.

When I got home and took a look, wow, it’s really good.

A door was also opened on the old house side, and an earthen wall more than one meter high was erected between the two houses.

The gate to the courtyard was not locked and was ajar.

Lin Miao pushed the door and walked in. The third brother, Wang Sen, heard the sound and popped his head out of his room.

Lin Miao glanced at his sneaky look, thought for a moment, and waved to him.

Her third son came over happily.

Lin Miao......

Lin Miao handed him the remaining meat buns in the oil paper package and the pork skewered with straw ropes. "Go rub the pork with salt. I'll boil the oil again tomorrow and heat up four buns. We'll eat them later."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Wash your hands before eating."

Wang Sen's eyes widened when he saw these delicious foods. Hearing his mother's disdainful tone, he didn't get angry and went to work happily.

Lin Miao put all the other things in her room, fetched some water and washed herself.

Wang Sen quickly heated up the buns and porridge, then came to Lin Miao's door and knocked: "Mom, the meal is ready."

Lin Miao thought, isn't it better to have someone helping her out than to be alone?

Life in the mountain village is relatively quiet and peaceful, but such a conversation took place in the Feng family, a prominent family in the capital city.

The head of the Feng family called his second son Feng Shaoyu and said, "Yu'er, the gift you gave to your grandfather today is very nice and thoughtful. Dad is very happy that you have made great progress during this period of time."

After hearing this, Feng Shaoyu grinned, thinking how long it had been since his father paid attention to him.

Father Feng asked, "Where did you get that bear? Don't say you led people into the mountains to hunt it. I don't even know how much you guys weighed."

Feng Shaoyu swallowed the lie he wanted to tell and said quickly: "Dad, we just reached the mountainside and met a female warrior. We bought it from her and spent more than 500 taels."

After saying that, he looked at his father eagerly, thinking: So, Dad, can you compensate me? At that time, I was pretending to be with a few playboys, and I felt a little sad about spending money.

Father Feng looked at his son's expression and snorted in his heart: This kid is still like this, everything is written on his face. But it's okay, the eldest son is excellent, and the second son is like this, so the family can be more harmonious. If he is too scheming, the brothers will fight with each other.

He snorted, "The price is a bit high, but we are children of aristocratic families, so we don't have to argue with those common people. We shouldn't quarrel with others because of a little money. A gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. When you meet a strange person, it's always a good idea to make more friends. Go back and get 1000 taels from the account office. It's your father's private treasury. Don't spend the extra money recklessly. Buy a shop and let the servants run it. You are grown up now, and you have to think about your future."

Feng Shaoyu nodded repeatedly: "Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Hehe, grandpa was happy today and gave him 500 taels. He was not stupid. Of course he knew that he had to save up shops and land. After the family was divided, he would become a side branch. If he didn't plan well, how could he maintain his life of riding a horse and singing?

But I don’t know where the female warrior that day was from, so I’ll have to look for her if I get a chance.

After a few days, he brought people to look for it.
