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

Chapter 46 The Mother of Unfilial Sons Part 46

The village head coughed and said thoughtfully, "Your idea is quite good. I will try my best to find out for you. If there is no nearby one, since you don't plan to grow it yourself and want to rent it out, it won't be a problem if it's farther away."

Lin Miao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Xu Lizheng is still thoughtful. There is no disaster or famine here, so it depends on luck. If there is no big piece, a little bit is fine."

Although Xu Lizheng knew that she was complimenting him, who doesn't like to hear nice words?

But he still frowned and said, "I'm asking for your advice. Now that the crops have just been harvested, it's a good time to buy land. However, your family is busy with farming when they put up the beams, so it's fine if you don't have a party. But after moving, it's a bit impolite not to hold a warm-up party. Do you have any rules in mind?"

Lin Miao hurriedly said, "I was indeed negligent. Ever since we moved in, the house has been in turmoil. I immediately started to make arrangements and even had to ask my sister-in-law to help me with the plan. I have never done anything like this before."

The wife of the village head said, "Oh, sister, don't worry, I have experience in this. If you have any questions, just come to me."

Lin Miao quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The village head was quite satisfied to see the two of them being so affectionate. He knew that Wang's Lin was living a good life, so it was always right to befriend her. He asked, "How many acres of land do you plan to buy?"

Lin Miao thought for a moment and said, "If there is any, whether it is good farmland or medium farmland, then it should be around 100 mu? It would be best if they can be together, but if they are not connected, that's fine too, we can rent them out separately."

The head of the village was shocked: an acre of good farmland costs at least 8 taels of silver. With what Lin said, he must have over 1000 taels of silver. Plus, the house she built cost 300 taels, and she recently bought a mule cart and servants. All in all, he estimated that he must have no less than 1500 taels of silver.

What kind of ginseng is that can be sold for so much money!

She had secretly gone to the provincial capital to sell it last time, and she was afraid that she had sold it for a very high price, and the county couldn't afford it.

He was envious and jealous.

He doesn't have any bad intentions. His family is well-off, and his son is a scholar who will take exams to get higher grades. How much money can he not earn in the future?

Xu Lizheng also reminded: "You should go to the head of your Wang family and talk to him in person. This will also save face for your head of the family."

Lin Miaoting hated the head of the Wang family. He was not an upright person, but she also knew that Xu Lizheng was right, so she nodded in response.

Lin Miao went home and got some snacks made by Tian Ersao, as well as a piece of pork, and went to Patriarch Wang's house.

Patriarch Wang knew that Lin Miao had been close to Xu Lizheng recently, and he felt very upset because he didn't get the good thing.

He was also dissatisfied. After all, he was the patriarch of the Wang family. This Lin was too ignorant and didn't know how to be respectful.

Today, when Patriarch Wang saw Lin Miao coming to his house, he finally felt relieved.

Lin Miao didn't want to see his pretentious look. What could he do to her?

He told them that his family wanted to hold a house-warming party and asked Patriarch Wang to invite the elders of the Wang family and the workers who helped build the house, and then to select a few capable women to help with the cooking.

Upon hearing this, Chief Wang smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's great. Now that we have built a new house, we should let the clan members have some fun. So... maybe Wang Shan can go? After all, it's you..."

Lin Miao was speechless at his nonsense. How could there be such an ignorant person?

He interrupted without any hesitation, "Clan leader, there is no need to say more about Wang Shan. Just consider it as a severance of the relationship. Our clan is kind and benevolent. The unfilial son behaves like a decent person in front of others. If others know about this, they will think that our Wang family is full of such people. Nowadays, filial piety is the most important thing. If they all follow suit, what will happen to him when he gets old?"

When Patriarch Wang heard this, he thought of the fact that in recent years, there have been several families in his own clan who wanted to split up after their parents died. His own family has also been getting worse and worse. Could it be that the filial piety of these descendants has affected their fortune?

Lin Miao didn't say anything else, just stop there.

Patriarch Wang became more and more worried the more he thought about it, and he didn't even notice when Lin Miao left.

Lin Miao brought the same gift to the head of the Guo family and quickly agreed on the banquet. They were all from the same village, so if they wanted to invite everyone, they had to invite everyone. As the saying goes, it is better to stay in the same village than to leave out a neighbor.

There were still a few helpers who did not belong to the three families, so Lin Miao asked Wang Sen to invite them and arranged for them to warm up the house in 5 days.

A few women were also found to help with the cooking, and the chef was Wang Da from the village, who specialized in preparing food for banquets at other people's homes and was said to be an excellent cook.

For the remaining days, Lin Miao went to the town and greeted the county's pawnbrokers on the first day. If there were suitable shops or fields to sell, they could go to Sanhe Village in Anping Town to find her.

Then she acted like an old lady. Apart from providing money, she was responsible for other matters such as what vegetables to buy, how much to buy and how to arrange them. The clan leader's wife and Tian Er's wife directed Wang Sen and Tian Ergui to drive the mule cart. Lin Miao felt like she was just a spectator.

To express her gratitude, she also gave the clan leader's wife a set of decent silk clothes, which made the clan leader's wife very happy.

Although her family had some savings, they were to be saved for her son's schooling, so she would never be willing to use it herself.

The silk dress she had originally worn was a dowry from her parents when she first got married.

Later, he made a set for his daughter when she got married, and a set for his son and daughter-in-law when he got married. The old man now has two sets, and he has worn them for several years. He only wears them when there are important events.

The half piece of cloth that Lin gave her last time was really beautiful in green color. She planned to make long gowns for her husband and son so that they could look decent when going out.

The outfit that Lin Miao gave me today looks particularly bright.

Lin Miao was happy to watch them give orders, and she could learn a lot from them.

The last time she went to the county, she bought some books, and when she was free, she asked Xu Qingsong, the second son of the clan leader, to read a passage to her. She gradually learned more words, and when she was free in the future, she could buy some books to read to kill time. There was no entertainment at all in that era.

Xu Qingsong had no talent for studying, but he studied for several years and had no problem recognizing words.

On the day of the banquet, Lin Miao put away all the eye-catching things in his room, and opened every room to visitors. He only asked Zhao Xiaotian to bring two boys to help look after it.

The main dish was prepared the day before, and when almost everyone arrived, the aroma started to waft out of the kitchen.

The neighbors smelled the fragrance and drooled. What did Lin make? They wanted to eat it right away. . . . .
