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

There were brothels in this county, but none like Guguan. Otherwise, she would have thrown him there. There was one in the capital, but it was too far away and the weather was too cold.

Although her physical condition has improved, she is still cold.

Lin Miao felt cold during this outing, so the next day she took out several pieces of sable skin, rabbit skin, and sheepskin that she had confiscated from the prefect and the bandits, and asked Tian Ersao, Zhou Niangzi, and Wang Xiaocao to choose some and make a fur vest for them. These things were warm and not too conspicuous. As a hunter, it was okay for her to get some fur.

Several women made a coat for her first. Not to mention, the satin lining made it look very classy.

As a northerner, she once had several mink coats and fur coats in her original world. Unfortunately, in this era, even though she had a box of fur coats in her hands, she did not dare to wear them.

A few people first selected the skins and made her a cloak, and the rest were made into vests. The whole family had one, which made everyone happy.

Even Madam Zhou liked this place more and more. If she was not afraid of affecting her nephews' future prospects, she would have wanted to sell herself here. Alas, this is not possible. Her nephews will take the imperial examinations in the future, and it would also affect them if their aunt became a slave.

These days, Lin Miao finally remembered to sort out the gains from the provincial capital.

Without looking at the money for the time being, she discovered something extraordinary. In addition to banknotes, house deeds and land deeds, she also found the account book of Magistrate Ma. She didn't know whether it was taken from the Magistrate's mansion or the Gao family.

She looked at the banknotes one by one. They were all small-denomination and bearer-named. She could go farther away to get them. She had originally planned to burn the house deeds and land deeds, but after looking at the account book, she changed her mind. She had to send them to a good place.

So, she endured the cold weather and asked Wang Sen to drive the mule cart to the provincial capital, and only told the rest of the family that she was going to buy some things for the New Year.

After all, she had been with this young man for a long time and had developed some feelings for him. Seeing that he felt cold on the road, she let him come in and sit inside while she drove the car.

Would Wang Sen agree to this?

What a great opportunity this is! He must let his mother see his filial piety.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Lin Miao had no choice but to buy him a sheepskin cloak when they arrived at the county town. Wang Sen was so moved that he said, "My mother loved me the most."

The two of them ate and drank along the way, and except for feeling a little cold, they were quite happy.

As soon as Lin Miao went out, she thought of her vehicle modification plan. Alas, she hadn't been out much recently and had forgotten about it.

On this day, they entered the city, and Lin Miao found out the follow-up of the previous incident after asking around.

Because Magistrate Ma had been unable to wake up, he had resigned and returned to his hometown. It was said that he sold many slaves and even his concubines, and the head of the Gao family was changed. However, the mansion suffered a huge loss of property. He had done so many bad things in the past and had too many enemies. Now that his backer was gone and he had no money to pave the way, he was immediately counterattacked. How miserable, haha.

It turned out that Lord Lu, the Tongzhi who was squeezed out to another prefecture because he was dissatisfied with the excessive corruption of Prefect Ma, has now returned to serve as prefect.

Lin Miao inquired about this Lord Lu and found out that he was an honest man, so she wrapped the account books and the house deeds and land deeds in an oil paper bag and threw it at the door of the prefectural government office at night. She then hid in the dark and watched the bailiff pick it up and hand it over to the prefect who entered the office. Only then did she leave with peace of mind.

She and Wang Sen went to the nearby county town again, walking slowly, cashing the silver notes and exchanging them for gold.

When they returned home after a journey, more than a month had passed. Lin Miao's space already contained 40 taels of silver, 1110 taels of gold, and square meters of space.

She guessed based on the changes in the purchase price of the space, and wondered if the price would be 1000 million silver pieces or two ounces of gold when the space reached 300 cubic meters. But forget it, it was a waste of brainpower, so she just left it at that.

Even if she travels through a few more worlds, this space will be enough.

Every time she disguised herself and went to the silver shop to exchange silver and gold, she would let Wang Sen leave the city first and live in a nearby village or town. She would leave the city at night after finishing her business and then catch up with him at night. Later, the two of them would go their separate ways, and she would rely on walking speed to meet up at a place close to home in the end, so as to avoid being tracked to the greatest extent possible.

Wang Sen felt that his mother's recent behavior was strange, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. Later, he stopped thinking about it. He finally felt that he was not very smart.

Anyway, this time, he really opened his eyes.

People do change a lot if they see more of the outside world. Lin Miao and Wang Sen didn't feel that, but what the family members saw was: Lin Miao, who became darker and thinner, and Wang Sen, who looked more mature and steady. Alas, the old lady braved the wind and snow to educate her son. She really has the heart of a loving mother.

Lin Miao: ...They are all quite imaginative.

Lin Miao: Actually, she had not planned to leave like this. She went out mainly because she wanted to deliver the account books and was afraid of wasting time. She was uneasy about others delivering her, so she had to go by herself. Once she went out, she couldn't stop and ran without wanting to come back. If she hadn't been unable to bear it any longer, she would probably still be outside.

She and Wang Sen did buy a lot of things, but they were all bought when they were almost home. There was nothing special about them, just some daily food, clothing, and some household items.

She was not at home these days, and Tian Ersao, Wang Xiaocao, and Zhou Niangzi made a lot of clothes, especially for Lin Miao. She felt that she would not need to make clothes for several years.

She usually wore muslin at home, except her nightgown, which was of satin.

Wang Shu came here several times during these days, but seeing that his mother and brother were not at home, he felt very sad and empty, as if something important had left him. He was a little uncomfortable without his mother's scolding.

The women in the family would prepare some things for the New Year every day. Lin Miao would read a book, and go out for a walk in the yard when she was tired. Her life was extremely comfortable.

Not two days later, Wang Shu came again, and this time he brought a piece of meat with him. As the old saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Lin Miao thought the training was almost enough. Although Wang Shu had come here to eat a few times, she had never treated him well. Once he said something wrong, he would be beaten or even kicked out. But as long as the family wealth was hanging by a thread, he would behave himself. Recently, she had become accustomed to being beaten with sticks one by one, and she also gave him a little smile appropriately. Wang Shu immediately felt that the sky was clear. One day, when he returned to the town, Lin Miao asked him to take a fine cotton robe with him. Wang Shu felt that his mother had finally forgiven him, and left in a happy mood.

Lin Miao shook her head. These children all have their own characteristics and selfishness. If they can be controlled, they can be filial. But no matter when, parents must control the economic power themselves. Without economic status, there will be no social status, and no family status. This is the same in any dynasty.

Just look at the patriarchs in ancient times. They would never give up the power in their hands. In addition to the brainwashing education of filial piety since childhood, the economic power is also particularly important. Moreover, they can be controlled by one disobedient and unfilial child. It's just that the original owner, as a kind mother, couldn't bear to be cruel, so how could she be manipulated by them? No matter what the relationship is, in the family, whoever gives more emotions will suffer.

As for the second brother, I'm half successful. I'll warn him for a while, give him some sweet treats, and tame him slowly. Anyway, if he makes Lin Miao unhappy, just let him go.

Hit them a little more, and then dangle a carrot. There will be no economic loss. For Lin Miao, it will be someone happy to make her laugh. For the original owner, it will be the return of his son. These are all emotional values. It's the education of Xiaomi and the big stick. People, their tempers are all conditioned.
