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

Chapter 25 The Mother of Unfilial Sons Part 25

Wang Sen's eyes were red. He had just reflected on himself a few days ago and decided to be more filial to his mother in the future.

My mother said she was going to sell a wild deer, so how come she hasn’t come back for more than ten days?

Lin Miao couldn't bear to look at him like that.

This young man is so sloppy and looks so untidy.

Wang Sen......

Lin Miao ignored his shouts and jumped out of the car.

Although I don’t feel tired from riding in the car these days, it is not comfortable to sit in it because it is too bumpy.

But if she can sit, she won't run on her own, absolutely not.

As Lin Miao walked towards home, she said to Wang Sen, "Hurry up and put all the things in the car in my room. I've already paid for the car. I'm going back to rest first."

After saying that, she went back without caring about Wang Sen's expression.

After returning home, Lin Miao washed her face and hands. Fortunately, Wang Sen knew to fetch water and there was boiled water in the kettle.

Just as she finished cleaning up, Wang Sen led the ox cart home. While moving things into his mother's room, he secretly said in his heart that his mother was such a spendthrift.

The white rice and white flour in this house are too wasteful to eat. Won't the money run out in a few days and they will be half-starved every day?

Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he dared not say anything.

His mother is in a bad temper now. If he dares to say more, his mother will kick him out.

Seeing that all the things had been brought in, Lin Miao took out the pheasants and rabbits that she had shot last time from the basket and asked Wang Sen to deliver the rabbits to the head of the village to thank him for his help.

From now on, she can leave all these errands to her adopted son, saving herself a lot of trouble.

"Say a few more words of thanks, come back and clean up the chicken and stew it, and call me when it's done. I've been worrying about you all day long."

Wang Sen was delighted when he saw that there was something delicious again: "Don't worry, Mom, take a rest. I will definitely take care of everything."

Even if he is asked to do work, he loves to do this kind of work.

His mother was away for more than 10 days and he was alone at home. He had enough rice and flour to eat. He ate some oil residue but didn't dare eat it all, for fear that his mother would come back and punish him. The most terrifying thing was that his mother didn't want him and gave him away.

So, he just ate stir-fried vegetables with white rice. Although it was better than before, he was content. But who wouldn't be happy to have meat to eat?

Wang Sen happily went to give the village head a rabbit: "Uncle, you have troubled the village head a lot during this period. My mother asked me to give the children a rabbit she shot."

Xu Li was about to refuse, but seeing the greedy looks in the children's eyes, he had no choice but to accept it.

This time, Wang Sen also wanted to tell everyone that his mother had returned alive, and had not run away, nor had she died outside.

These days, because his mother went out to sell the game and did not come home, the gossipy women and men in the village said all kinds of things.

Some said that his mother ran away with someone, others said that since his mother had not come back for so long, she must have been robbed and murdered, or else they said that his mother was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.

His good eldest brother even came home to take things, saying that his mother was gone and how could these good things not be divided among the eldest son and grandson?

Bah, shameless! Why didn’t you remember that you were the eldest son and grandson when your mother was sick?

Not only did Wang Sen lock the door, he also flashed a kitchen knife before chasing the people away. Wang Hai also told everyone that he was disrespectful to his elder brother.

Well, when the need arises, he remembers that he is the eldest son.

His second elder brother also heard that his mother had killed a wild deer and sold it for a lot of money, so he would come back from time to time to inquire about the news. However, Wang Shu was very proud, so even if he was scheming, he would hide it.

Xu Qingsong, the head of the village, was a tight-lipped man. No one could find out how much silver the wild deer was sold for. Not even his own son could find out. He was really untrustworthy.

Xu Qingsong: ..., is it possible that I don’t even know how much silver I sold it for?

This is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

I have to say, this wood-fired stew is really delicious.

Wang Sen, who doesn't usually work, stewed the chicken deliciously. Although the pheasant meat was a bit tough, it was very chewy after being stewed with lard.

The two of them ate without looking up, even though Lin Miao had never lacked delicious food.

But, pheasants are protected animals in the original world. Now that we have the chance to eat them, we must cherish them.

The two were eating happily when there was a knock on the door.

Lin Miao and Wang Sen looked at each other, both of them had a bad feeling in their hearts, but no one said anything. They lowered their heads and quickly ate the meat steak rice.

The knocking on the door outside became louder. Lin Miao sneered: It's a good thing that the courtyard gate was locked, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to eat in peace. You came at other people's meal time and knocked on the door so loudly, which is itself very unreasonable. Who cares? The two of them pretended not to hear and just had a meal.

After they finished their meal, Lin Miao sat on a stool to rest, while Wang Sen took the initiative to clean up the dishes and wash the chopsticks.

The most interesting thing is that there are not only human voices outside, but also the crying of children.

Seeing that Wang Sen had finished cleaning up, Lin Miao walked into the yard and Wang Sen went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Wang Hai, Wang Shu and his wife, and four others, along with Wang Hai's two children, rushed in together.

There were also some villagers standing outside.

Seeing that Lin Miao looked unhappy, she did not enter the yard, but the discussion was loud: "What's wrong with the Wang family? They didn't care about the child crying outside the door? How cruel."

"That's right. After the family is divided, aren't they also my grandsons and daughters? When I get old, the eldest grandson will take care of me. Why doesn't he leave a way out for me? The third son is a lazy guy, how can he take care of her in her old age?"

There were also those who spoke fairly: "Now that the family has been divided, each of us should live our own lives. They can do whatever they want. Hey, the second son's wife, is this the first time you've come to visit after your marriage?"

Someone else said disdainfully: "I heard that the Lin family sold a deer and got rich. The second brother and his wife are really smart."

Lin Miao had good hearing and could hear all kinds of discussions clearly. Although there were inevitably some strange words and some sarcastic comments, overall, the public's intelligence had not decreased and everyone's thinking was still normal.

The third brother, Wang Sen, went to close the gate and said to the villagers, "Hey, what's there to see? Everyone go back to work. We have guests at home. Come and talk another day."

He didn't care whether the people outside dispersed or not, and just closed the gate.

Farmers are like this, during the slack season, if there is something lively, they will gather around to watch, and you can't chase them away, everyone will just smile and laugh.

Lin Miao looked at her adopted son and daughter-in-law, as well as her grandchildren who were crying for meat, without saying a word. She had already locked the door of her own room.

She sat in the main room, looking at them with a cold face.

Several people followed in. The second son Wang Shu’s wife, Zhang, covered her mouth with her hands, looking disgusted.

Lin Miao was too lazy to watch her pretending, so she asked directly: "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

The eldest son, Wang Hai, said awkwardly, "Look, the stew in your room smells so good that your eldest grandson is crying with greed. Can you give the child some first?"
