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

Lin Miao only asked Wang Sen to prepare the food and put it in the main room, while she went to the bathroom to tidy up and change her clothes.

This bathroom is only about 4 or 5 square meters. The floor is paved with bluestone, the walls are also made of blue bricks, and there is a bronze mirror inside.

A solid wooden bathtub is placed against the wall. The used water can flow out from the dug hole and into the pool outside by pulling out the plug.

The bathroom door leads to her living room and is for her exclusive use.

She and Wang Sen lived on both sides of the main house, and the side rooms had separate bathrooms.

The furnishings in her room are also quite simple, with an antique display cabinet, two wardrobes, a tea table, a dressing table, etc.

There is a bronze mirror on it, which reflects people clearly. There are several mirrors in her space, and a rocking chair in front of the window.

She knows some modern characters, but not much, and can't write at all, so she is considered semi-illiterate.

She has to hurry up and learn to read. It doesn't matter if she can't write, she has to know how to read.

The bed was a step-out bed that she bought, and it was not cheap.

She collected a step-out bed. She didn't know what kind of wood it was made of, but the texture and the smell made it clear that it couldn't be an ordinary thing.

Ordinary people of her level in the original world could not afford those high-end furniture, but she didn’t dare to use them now, so she only bought one made of ordinary material.

Before going to bed, she gave Wang Sen one tael of silver and asked Wang Sen to buy some meat, vegetables and so on.

She has a lot of things in her space, but she has to find opportunities to take them out slowly.

Wang Sen happily trotted all the way to the town. Hehe, my mother asked him to buy some delicious food, so he had to choose carefully.

When the aroma of food from Lin Miao's house wafted out, the children around them were so greedy that they cried.

Unfortunately, the wall of her house was too high and the gate was locked too tightly.

Several neighboring women were very dissatisfied and gathered together to discuss: "Why lock the door in broad daylight? How stingy! They made something delicious but are afraid that people would borrow it."

When she woke up, it was almost dark. If Wang Sen hadn't been lingering outside her door, checking again and again to see if she was awake, she would have slept all night.

Wang Sen was quite obedient. The house was filled with the seasonings she had bought a few days ago, and the newly bought pork ribs were cooked very fragrantly.

Seeing that Wang Sen was hesitant to speak, she glared at him and said, "Let's talk after dinner."

Wang Sen could only hold it back.

Lin Miao knew from his expression that nothing good was going to happen, but she just wanted to have a peaceful meal.

I am really busy every day, with all kinds of troubles coming to me.

Now behind her kitchen is the storage room, which is made of bricks and stones, and there are many shelves inside to store things.

Once the gate is locked and the 2-meter-high wall is built, ordinary people cannot get in, and she no longer has to lock things in her house every day like before.

After dinner, the mother and daughter slumped in their chairs.

Wang Sen was too full and didn’t want to talk about those unpleasant things.

This day is so beautiful, he must protect his mother.

Lin Miao was full and in a good mood, so she wanted to listen to a story.

Wang Sen had to say: "In the afternoon, my grandfather and step-grandmother brought a middle-aged man, saying they were my uncle, to our house to see my mother. They were dressed in rags and were holding a bunch of green vegetables. They said they were here to see my mother."

"I don't know that man either. He has never been to our house. I saw that you were asleep, so I didn't dare open the door for them. I just told them that you were not at home and they said they would come tomorrow."

Lin Miao laughed when she heard this. Oh, these are the original owner’s stepmother and stepson?

Come to see her? Bring some greens?

She almost died of illness a few days ago, and no one in her family showed up.

Are you going to forget how you tortured the original person in charge back then?

When the original owner was struggling to survive with her children, one winter, she had no other choice but to seek help from her mother's family.

Her father and stepmother even opened the door for her, and almost starved the children to death.

Fortunately, the original owner ignored the cold winter and dug some frozen plant roots on the hill and found some food in rat holes, which helped him get through the difficult times.

But the original owner's hands and feet were also frozen, and he felt excruciating pain and itchiness when winter came.

How did they have the nerve to come in?

Did you hear that she is rich and want to take advantage of her?

They wanted to use filial piety to pressure her, but Lin Miaoke didn't care what others said. If she got angry, she would make them not know how she died.

Lin Miao was shocked by her own thoughts. She found that her heart had begun to become cold and hard.

She valued human life more than before, and she kept telling herself that she must control herself.

Aren't you going to come tomorrow? Then come. She will feel uneasy if she doesn't take revenge.

At the same time, the original owner's family in Linjia Village were also talking about her.

My stepmother Qin has a fair complexion and looks really young.

She sat on the kang and asked her daughter-in-law to clean up the dishes. She said to her husband, "His father, our eldest daughter's family has become rich. You saw it today. That big house is really magnificent. We have raised our daughter for 18 years, but we have never thought about her blessings. You see, if we can live in a house like this for a few days, it will be worth it even if we die."

"It's a pity that our Lin family's sons and grandsons should have this blessing, but it's a pity that the eldest girl took it to someone else's home."

Old Man Lin was unhappy when he heard this: "Why can't it be ours? I'm her father, she has a good house to live in, how can she ignore me and my brothers? Tomorrow I'll ask her to vacate a few rooms for me, and we'll live there. It's our duty to be filial to our parents. In the future, we'll have to enjoy a good life."

After saying this, Old Man Lin hugged his eldest grandson and laughed, feeling proud in his heart: His Lin family is so lucky, that girl has always been obedient, and with just one word from him, he asked her to vacate a few rooms, and she dared not listen?

If she doesn't listen, beat her to death.

It's another good day. This year is considered a year with a good harvest. These days, every family is drying various grains. After they are dry, they will pick the best ones to pay the field tax.

The land tax is 10%, and the rest is not enough to feed the people, so people have to pay the population tax.

A male between 15 and 60 years old had to pay 200 coins per year. However, if there were many sons in a family, except for the eldest son, the tax for the remaining males was reduced by half, that is, 100 coins per year.

If a woman is 18 and unmarried, she has to pay 200 yuan tax every year. If she is over 30 and still unmarried, she has to pay five times the tax, which is 5 tael of silver per year. Married women no longer have to pay taxes.

If the man in the family is gone and there is no male heir to take over the household, and the woman does not remarry, the household will be set up as a female household, and she will be taxed 30 tael of silver per year according to the 1-year rule.

If there are two or more adult males in the family, two of them must perform corvée labor every year, which means working for the government for free.

Hunters are heavily taxed.

Of course merchants are taxed much more heavily.

Lin Miao looked at the clear sky. It was a great day, perfect for beating someone up.
