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

The night in the countryside is quiet, dark, and filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Lin Miao has now accumulated some spiritual power, making it easier for her to feel that kind of tranquility.

However, because of the spiritual power in Lin Miao's body, those auras did not dare to approach, but they were drooling over her.

Entering this world brings not only opportunities but also risks.

Relying on her own speed, Lin Miao floated into the Zhang family's yard like a wisp of smoke. The gate was just a decoration to her.

Old man Zhang and old lady Zhang had fallen asleep long ago and were snoring heavily.

That year, Zhang Daqiang died in an accident, and a few days later, Lin Dahua’s eldest son Zhang Lai Jin disappeared.

Lin Dahua endured the sadness and searched everywhere for her child. She was in a daze and was forcibly separated by the Zhang family's two elders.

In fact, they drove the orphan and his widow out of the Zhang family and only gave them 2 acres of land to keep them from starving.

When Zhang Daqiang was alive, he was the main earner of the family.

Lin Dahua has been raising her children for two or three years. Her youngest son is almost six years old. If she continues like this, she will have to make a living by farming.

She has no one to rely on in her natal family, and even though her parents are still alive, they only care about her younger brother.

The three younger sisters and Lin Dahua were taught to take care of their mother's family and provide for the Lin family's only son.

Lin Dahua was forced to jump into the river.

But, no, there are three young children.

Lin Dahua, who had no relatives to rely on and was at the end of her rope, remembered her grandfather, who used to be a Taoist monk.

She didn't know whether it was true or not, but her grandfather had not returned for many years. It was said that he went to seek immortals and had not returned for many years.

Some people said that her grandfather became an immortal, while others said he died outside.

At any rate, this provided her with a way out.

Lin Dahua began to dress up as a Taoist nun and wear Taoist robes.

She only told outsiders that her grandfather had accepted her as a disciple, and from then on she began her journey as a Taoist nun.

Sometimes she was lucky and helped people solve their problems, and sometimes she was successful, but she knew that it was just a coincidence.

How could she know how to practice? She only knew some true and false methods that she heard from others. Some of the magic spells were from stories told by storytellers.

But because of this, she can also have some income every year.

She raised her children over the years and even helped her son become a scholar, all thanks to this.

I don’t know if it’s because she makes money from this that she has lost her karma, but the lives of her children are no longer smooth.

Thinking of the ruthlessness of the old couple of the Zhang family, Lin Miao sneered: If you do too many immoral things, it will become a habit.

She hadn't thought of settling the score with them yet, but they kept jumping in front of her.

Lin Miao pressed hard on the back of their necks, and the two men fell into an even deeper sleep.

I searched through and found their belongings.

This old man and old woman actually had more than 150 taels of silver.

That Zhang Erzhuang is lazy, greedy and cunning. He has been supporting Zhang Laiyin's studies all these years. Isn't it the money he earned outside when Zhang Dagen was still alive?

He almost kicked out his wife and children!

Don't leave them a penny, just take it away without any thanks!

Lin Miao originally wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, she decided to go to her brother-in-law Zhang Erzhuang and Qiu's house.

Zhang Erzhuang and his wife Qiu were a little sleepless today.

It was quiet outside, everything fell into sleep, and the two began to whisper.

Qiu poked Zhang Erzhuang.

Zhang Erzhuang was feeling annoyed: "What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Qiu said unhappily, "Boss, do you think this sister-in-law is really capable?"

Zhang Erzhuang said angrily, "She is just a woman, what ability does she have? We have lived together for more than ten years, and we all know each other. How come she learned some magic after they moved out?"

Qiu: "Why are you yelling at me? Am I not worried too? It was you who brought the gold back then..."

Zhang Erzhuang shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Lai Jin is missing, what does that have to do with us? Stop talking and go to sleep, you're just imagining nonsense all day long."

Qiu snorted in dissatisfaction: "If she has no ability, how can the county magistrate give her such a large amount of silver as a reward? I am always uneasy in my heart."

Zhang Erzhuang continued to scold her: "That sister-in-law uses the name of this Taoist woman to deceive people everywhere, and now she has even deceived the county magistrate. It will be a disaster sooner or later."

"Humph, her grandfather accepted her as his apprentice. How many years has it been since her grandfather came back? It's ok to lie to others, but how could we not know? Stop making a fuss, shut up, and go to sleep."

After saying that, he turned his back.

Qiu muttered a few words and soon started snoring.

Zhang Erzhuang was in a state of turmoil, with a vague sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart...

After listening to what the two said, Lin Miao confirmed her guess.

Just look at how the couple jumped up and down to divide the property after their eldest son disappeared, and then their son went to school.

Those with vested interests are the most suspicious.

Zhang Erzhuang went to pick up Lin Dahua's eldest son Zhang Lai Jin from school, but when he came back he said he had not picked him up and the child was never found again.

The school replied: The child said at the time that his uncle came to pick him up, so the school let him go.

The two sides argued endlessly, and the Zhang family extorted 10 taels of silver from the school. However, Lin Dahua did not get a single penny of the money.

After being kicked out of the eldest wife's house, Zhang Erzhuang's son Zhang Laiyin quickly went to school.

Over the years, their family has spared no effort to support Zhang Laiyin's studies.

Zhang Dahua didn't have any thoughts at first, but Lin Miao always felt something was wrong.

She had wanted to wait until her eldest daughter's affairs were dealt with before investigating her eldest son's affairs.

There are so many things to do, so she came first in a hurry. Since she came today, she would punish him first, and then she would be ready to come again.

Although it is urgent to find the eldest son, one should not consider others but oneself.

She bought a bad luck charm from the system mall and slapped it on Zhang Erzhuang's back.

This talisman is quite expensive, but it is worth it to punish evildoers.

There were only eight taels of silver in the couple's room, which they took without hesitation.

The two elders of the Zhang family have a strong desire for control. When they were still alive, they would not allow their son to have money. As for these few taels of silver, the second son and his wife had no idea how they saved it.

......

It was dawn, and Lin Miao practiced until daybreak before lying down to sleep for a while.

Although cultivation can replace sleep, it will make you mentally tired, so you still need to take a proper rest.

......

Early in the morning, the Zhang family was in an uproar.

They were complaining that their house had been robbed, but nothing else was lost except their money.

The whole family was fine and no one knew that a thief had broken into the house.

Old man Zhang trembled and asked his second son to go to the village chief to report the news.

The village chief came to Zhang's house to take a look, and he was also helpless. There was no trace at all, so how could he investigate?

Even if we report it to the police, how do you explain how the whole family had no idea what was stolen?

Who can believe it?

The villagers heard about it and started to discuss it, but the discussion was not pleasant: "The family didn't hear any noise? Could it be a thief?"

The village chief looked at old man Zhang helplessly and said, "Uncle, how can we investigate this?"

Old man Zhang and old lady are feeling aggrieved and depressed...

They could only swallow their anger.

But what about this loss?

Zhang Erzhuang thought again of the silver his eldest sister-in-law had earned.

However, Old Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to face her eldest daughter-in-law, and the old couple also had their own plans.

It seems that the money from the second son's family is of no use in studying now. So much money has been spent, but there is no sound.

But the old lady’s cautious words have already made her a scholar.

As an old couple, do we really have to help the second son's family to the end?

But, they had kicked the eldest brother’s family out back then. If not leaving them with nothing, it was almost the same. How could they turn this around?

Lin Miao was not afraid of them coming to her house.

Sometimes, a small decision can stir up a storm somewhere.

What would happen if Lin Miao interrogated Zhang Erzhuang and his wife tonight?

No one knows.

However, she only took their silver today as a minor punishment, but it almost caused immeasurable consequences.

……

I don’t know what happened, but since that day, Zhang Erzhuang seemed to have been possessed by an evil spirit.

When he walks on the road, he might be pooped on by a bird, or tripped by a stone on the road. It is even more difficult for him to work outside. He either cannot find a job or gets injured.

Lin Miao put everything aside and intensified her cultivation.

The Zhang family's old house was already empty, but Zhang Laiyin came back at this time to ask for money: "Grandpa, please give me some money to spend. I want to attend a poetry reading at my classmate's house."

In fact, he and two classmates were going out for a drink.

His wife was just a country girl, so boring that he couldn't write poetry for a long time.

Zhang Laiyin thought, when the mood strikes, maybe he will compose a poem.

Old man Zhang was furious. The recent setbacks made him dislike his grandson even more. "Why are you attending a poetry gathering? I've studied for so many years and spent more money than you. You haven't passed any exams, and you still want to attend a poetry gathering? You don't even want to go. You don't have money."

Qiu was dissatisfied: "Dad, how can you say that? Laiyin is still young, and he will definitely have a bright future."

Old man Zhang couldn't tell his daughter-in-law, so he could only scold Zhang Laiyin: "You are not young anymore, you should know how life goes. Look at Jinyan, who is two years younger than you and is already a scholar. You should strive to be better."

Zhang Laiyin's expression changed immediately.

Since he was a child, he hated his two cousins ​​from his uncle's family the most.

Zhang Lai Jin was very smart and outstanding back then, and he was nothing compared to him.

The family could only afford to support one child to go to school, and I wanted to go to school myself, so who wants to work in the fields so early? But my grandfather disagreed.

Later, the money finally disappeared, and it was his turn to go to school.

Just when he thought he had finally turned things around, that poor guy Zhang Jinyan also went to school and became more and more outstanding.

Although they were not in the same school, their teachers knew each other.

Whether at home or in front of the teacher at school, Zhang Jinyan is still that kid from other people's families. He is compared to him every day and scolded because of him every day.

He hates...

Zhang Laiyin didn't get the money, so he couldn't go out to drink and have fun.

He didn't think about his own mistakes, but put all his resentment on Zhang Jinyan, thinking only of how to teach him a lesson.

That day, Zhang Jinyan finished school and walked home.

His mother gave him some money and let him ride in a ox cart home every day to avoid spending too much time and getting too tired on the road.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to taking this route.

It wasn't a waste of time. He walked and recited as he went, which allowed him to review his lessons and exercise at the same time.

He has been walking this road which takes an hour to walk for many years.

When he was a child, his mother picked him up and dropped him off every day.

When he grew up and became a grown man, he started to walk by himself. He was so familiar with it that he could walk back with his eyes closed.

……

Zhang Qinqin had already prepared the food and placed it on the table.

She told her mother to eat first, but her mother just said to wait for her brother.

Lin Miao felt a little uneasy.

She looked at the two sisters' faces and found that there was a new defect looming in the palace of kinship.
