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

Chapter 49 The Mother of Unfilial Sons Part 49

Lin Miao didn't care about the result and turned away.

If he was able to escape, he was lucky; if he couldn't escape, it was his own fault.

She never showed up.

Then Lin Miao started looking for ways to buy land and shops. After a few days of hard work, she finally made some progress.

Wang Ya was very enthusiastic and pointed out the two shops he had found to Lin Miao: "Madam Lin, these two shops are in a good location, right on the busiest street. If Mr. He hadn't found a way to be an official in another province, no one would be willing to sell the shops."

Lin Miao went with them to see the two shops. The locations were good, but the storefronts were not big, one was about 30 square meters, and the other was about 15 square meters. However, the asking price was not low, at 800 taels of silver.

Lin Miao was also quite satisfied. The location was good and it would be easy to rent out when the time comes. She didn't plan to do business.

Wang Yaren said, "Madam Lin, the prices in this shop are a bit high. If it weren't for the high prices, how could people like us get the chance? This was originally run by Mr. He's cousin, but everyone knows that it is actually the business of the He family. Mr. He said that we don't bargain for one tael of silver."

Lin Miao thought the price couldn't be any cheaper and it was hard to find a shop in a good location, so she agreed.

Wang Yaren went to the He family again and brought the housekeeper of the He mansion. The two parties signed a contract and the property was transferred quickly. Lin Miao got a formal land deed at the government office. After all the procedures were completed, Lin Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Ya Ren received the broker's money and got two more good shops. He thanked Lin Miao repeatedly and sent her out of the brokerage: "Mrs. Lin, don't worry. After you rent out your shop, I will personally deliver the rent to your home and make sure you don't lose money."

Lin Miao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble. If it's inconvenient, please send a message and I'll come and get it myself. I won't let you waste your time in vain."

She returned home and told her family members that they had opened a shop, and they were all very happy.

Especially Wang Sen, his mouth was grinning from ear to ear. From now on, the family will have a stable income.

If you rent it out, you won't have to worry about food and drink for a year, which is safer than hunting.

A few days later, Li Zheng Xu also asked someone to call Lin Miao and said that there was a piece of land for sale in a village near the town, which was 110 acres in size.

The only son of the landlord Bao was addicted to gambling. The landlord wanted to sell all the land to pay off his son's gambling debts.

This piece of land is not a very good field, it can only be considered an average field, with an output of 6 taels per mu.

Xu Lizheng asked Lin Miao, "Can you buy them all? They won't tear them down and sell them. They want to pay you all at once. You need to get the money in one or two days."

Lin Miao thanked Xu Lizheng and asked Tian Ergui to drive the mule cart to take Xu Lizheng and Patriarch Wang to the landlord's house in the town.

The landlord had been suffering these days and was pale with anxiety, so he didn't say much. The middleman signed a contract between the two families. After paying the money, the group went to the government office to get the land deeds. From then on, Lin Miao had another 110 acres of land under his name.

Patriarch Wang wanted Lin Miao to transfer the land to Wang Sen's name, but Xu Lizheng pulled him and gave him a look, and Patriarch Wang shut up in dismay.

Xu Lizheng secretly said to Patriarch Wang: "Look, Lin is a vegetarian, why bother to cause trouble?"

In fact, there was one thing that had been bothering him: Hunter Zheng had gone into the mountains and had not returned home for several days, and he still didn't know whether he was waiting for prey in the mountains or if something had happened to him.

Others didn't know how he plotted against the Lin family, but Xu Lizheng knew it. He was indeed worried, but he didn't dare to think about it.

The wife of Zheng the Hunter is thirty years old and has been married for more than ten years but has no children.

Yesterday, Zheng the hunter’s wife came to him crying and wanted someone to go to the mountains to look for him. However, the weather was cold and the mountains were very dangerous. How could he let so many villagers take the risk?

This hunter Zheng is too ruthless in his actions and has poor relationships with people, so it is difficult for him to find anyone to help him.

Lin did not go into the mountains these days. The only suspicious thing was that she went to collect firewood for half a day on the day when Zheng the hunter went into the mountains. This half day's time is not enough to walk into the mountains, right?

Xu Lizheng gave up the idea. Maybe after a few days, the hunter Zheng would come back.

Lin Miao asked Tian Ergui to buy a few boxes of snacks and two 5-jin portions of pork for the two of them, and then went back in a mule cart.

I don’t have time today, I have to meet the tenants tomorrow.

Lin Miao had no plan to cultivate so much land, so she could just rent it to the original owner and have them cultivate it, which would save her trouble.

When Wang Sen heard that his family had bought those lands, he almost jumped for joy. What was wrong with them being under his mother's name? He was still the young master of the landlord's family.

Seeing that he was genuinely happy and had no other thoughts, Lin Miao felt somewhat satisfied.

The house is under Wang Sen's name, which is really helpless. They have one household and Wang Sen is the head of the household. This is how society is.

But other properties that are not related to this village cannot be put under someone else’s name. It is better to have them yourself than to have them owned by someone else.

It is not uncommon in modern times for people to leave all their money to their children and end up having nowhere to live.

She doesn't want to be a sucker and be manipulated by others.

Those bedbugs at Old Lin’s house haven’t come to dance recently, so it’s been pretty quiet, and a little... lonely?

Lin Miao no longer ran around for these chores. She just gave instructions one by one and asked Wang Sen and Tian Ergui to do them.

The tenants signed the contract again and asked Xu Qingsong to help review it, because Tian Ergui and Wang Sen were illiterate.

Learning to read and write is urgent.

After two days of peace, something happened again.

That day, two hunters from the neighboring village entered the village.

Not long after, deafening cries were heard.

It turned out that two hunters had picked up Zheng the Hunter's hunting knife, broken clothes and shoes in the mountains. They were familiar with Zheng the Hunter and guessed that it was him, but they didn't dare to say anything and just brought the things with them.

As for people, only a few gnawed remains were seen.

How could the hunter's wife not recognize her man's thing? She was really heartbroken.

She had been childless for many years after getting married, but Hunter Zheng never blamed her. Although he sometimes beat her, what man doesn't beat a woman?

She was grateful to the man for not despising her for not being able to have children. But now, what should she do?

On the same day, the hunter's wife's brothers heard the letter and came to pick her up. They also took away all her belongings and sold the house to the villagers.

Zheng the Hunter was originally a beggar picked up by an old hunter. His life of begging since childhood and the experience of being beaten and scolded made his personality different from that of ordinary people.

Now the man is gone and his wife has left. No one in the village cares about him anymore.

In fact, there were people who were thinking about her. The hunter's wife was remarried by her brother to a divorced man, and they had children.

Only then did the woman realize that her infertility was not her fault, but that it was because of Zheng the Hunter's health. Did Zheng the Hunter himself know this?
