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

Lin Miao gave half a piece of cloth to the wife of the village head.

The wife of the village head refused for a long time, but she really liked the fabric and finally accepted it reluctantly.

Lin Miao said, "Thanks to your Qingsong's help in going to the county town a few days ago, I was able to sell the game I hunted for a good price. I didn't expect to take advantage of my good fortune and went back to the mountains. I waited in the mountains for several days before I got some gains. I sold them in the county for silver and just came back home today."

"It's extremely dangerous to go into the mountains. I'm planning to take a break and build a new house. For this, I need the help of the village head and a piece of land. I'm a woman and I don't know how to arrange these things."

The headman's wife heard that she didn't want to say more about selling wild animals.

Well, if someone has income, they won't show it off. It's right to make a fortune quietly.

He smiled and said, "It shows that you are a capable person. Your house is old enough. Xiao San'er should get engaged soon. It's right to move to a better house. It will be more suitable for marriage."

She invited the village head, and Lin Miao told Li Zheng Xu her idea.

Xu Lizheng also wants to see his village prosper.

He agreed without hesitation: "Building a house and buying land is the right thing to do. I will talk to the heads of each family and the village elders. Just prepare the money. If you are too busy, let Qingsong help you."

Lin Miao thanked the head of the village and his wife, then said goodbye and went home.

She thought about it, and then took half a piece of silk cloth from each of them and asked the third brother to deliver it to the homes of the other two clan leaders, telling them about selecting a residential plot to build a house.

She bought this silk cloth from the county, and she picked a relatively cheap material. Even if it was cheap, half a piece was worth one or two taels of silver. Fine cotton cloth was 800 wen per piece, fine linen was 400 wen per piece, and coarse linen was about 200 wen per piece. The original owner had basically worn coarse linen cloth, which would pull the skin when close to the body. The only advantage was that it was strong and durable, and could be used for going up and down the mountain, and it could also be used as a mountain outsider.

She has collected a lot of good materials in that space. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to use them now, but she could use them to make some underwear.

She could just use those good materials herself, she wouldn't be willing to give them to others.

Money gets things done. Not long after, the head of the village sent someone to call Lin Miao and marked out three places for her to choose from.

Lin Miao chose a place at the back of the village, closer to the mountain. The terrain there was high and the area was large, so she only needed to add 2 more taels of silver.

Lin Miao chose a location and asked the village head to help select some hard-working young men in the village to prepare to build the house in the next two days.

She would buy food and ask the women in the village to cook for her for 25 cents a day. There was no guarantee that the food would be good, but at least she would be full, because she couldn't work on an empty stomach.

He also asked the second son of the head of the village, Xu Qingsong, to be in charge of transporting various materials. Since he often used a mule cart, he was paid 100 coins a day, and he would be paid later if there were other situations. He was given 100 taels of silver first.

She told him to pick only good quality materials, not to be frugal, and to ask her for more if there was not enough.

Xu Lizheng's eldest son has already been a scholar and is currently studying in the county.

The second child doesn’t like reading, but he can also read and write.

There is no one more suitable than him to handle the purchase of materials. He is also the son of the village head, so no one will object to many things he arranges.

Everything was settled, and Lin Miao returned home.

Wang Sen saw his mother building a house and followed her eagerly like an abandoned puppy.

Lin Miao was helpless looking at such a grown-up child. This was the youngest son that the original owner loved the most, and also the youngest son that the original owner was most worried about.

These days, it seems that this child has a little more conscience than his two brothers.

As a mother, the original owner had some resentment towards her sons, but probably not hatred.

If it were Lin Miao, she might ask them to get out.

These sons are not Lin Miao's, so she is willing to give them up. However, there are mission requirements, so she cannot be too casual.

She said to Wang Sen in a bad mood, "The house will be built soon, so you should follow your brother Xu to run errands and learn how others do things. If you continue to be idle and do nothing, get out of here right away."

When Wang Sen heard his mother's words and knew that she didn't want him anymore, his eyes suddenly lit up.

These few days, he realized clearly that without his mother, he could not survive and would starve to death.

He made his mother happy, and followed her so that he could eat meat.

He said in a flattering manner: "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely learn to do things well. You just wait to be the old lady and don't have to worry about anything."

Lin Miao: Tsk, you have to let me support you.

Silent all night.

After eating the breakfast made by Wang Sen, Lin Miao hired a ox cart from the village and went to the county.

When she arrived in the county, she went to the brokerage firm to ask about the construction team.

This is the largest dental clinic in the county. The middleman listened to her request and introduced her to a construction team.

The master chef's surname is Zhou. He is a man in his forties, quite tall, speaks politely, and looks like he is well-educated.

Lin Miao told him her ideas, especially about the design of the toilet and bathroom.

Master Zhou nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said that it was not difficult to build, and that this wealthy family also had a similar construction method.

Lin Miao felt that this master was good and had a strong ability to understand.

Both parties have drafted the contract and are just waiting to start construction tomorrow. Let’s hope everything goes well!

If there is a thorn, she doesn't mind torturing the scum!
