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

As Lao Gui watched Sun go crazy, the resentment he had harbored for many years slowly faded away.

The black aura on her body became lighter and lighter, and she turned out to be a kind-looking old lady, with the scars on her body gone.

Lin Miao nodded to her: "You have been able to hold a grudge for so many years without harming anyone, you are a kind-hearted person. You still have a chance to reincarnate, are you willing to do so? I am willing to send you to the afterlife."

The old woman knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Miao, tears streaming down her face: "Thank you for your mercy, Immortal. I am willing."

Sun has gone mad, her resentment has dissipated, and she is no longer attached to the human world.

Lin Miao chanted the mantra for rebirth, the gate to the underworld opened, the old woman gradually disappeared, and went to line up.

Lin Miao was entrusted by Mr. Qian to clear up the bad luck in the Qian Mansion. The next day, she left the Qian Mansion with Master Ma and his entourage.

She felt something about what happened in the Qian family.

But she hadn’t confirmed it and didn’t know how to tell Qian Gui, so she had to think about it again.

This trip to the Qian Mansion was unexpected, but it was worthwhile, as her cultivation improved further.

I also received three thousand taels from Mr. Qian, two thousand taels were for the talisman, one thousand taels was a thank you gift, and of course it was also meant to keep my mouth shut.

Each monk and Taoist priest who left received 200 taels of silver, and they all felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Team leader Ma thanked Lin Miao again, and they went back home.

Lin Miao returned to the rental place, looked at the expensive money, and hesitated to speak.

After a few days, it was the day for Zhang Jinyan's imperial examination.

Lin Miao seldom goes out these days. She just cooks for her son at home. No matter whether it tastes good or not, the main focus is on nutritious and healthy combination of meat and vegetables.

The rest of the time, I practice.

That stone was indeed a good thing to assist in cultivation, and it made her cultivation progress rapidly.

On the day of the exam, according to the instructions of the county school teacher, I helped Jinyan check all the necessary tools repeatedly to make sure they were correct before sending him to the examination room.

Zhang Jinyan looked at the fried noodles in the food box, which had a faint fragrance. This was made by her mother herself, and she would definitely do well in the exam.

Lin Miaoxin was worried. She didn't know if Jinyan could hold on for 9 days and 8 nights.

That day, after the exam was over, she and Qian Gui waited outside the exam room together.

Zhang Jinyan came out staggeringly, with a smug look on his face. It seemed that he had done well in the exam.

Lin Miao did not ask any questions. She and Qian Gui helped the man to a spacious place and let him get on the sedan chair.

Lin Miao thanked the two sedan bearers repeatedly and gave them red envelopes.

Zhang Jinyan slept soundly for a whole day and night, and when he woke up, he was full of energy again.

The next day, the three of them went to the largest restaurant in the city. Lin Miao had already booked a private room.

When you come to Fucheng, how can you not appreciate its delicious food?

The three of them ate heartily. They wanted to wait for the results of the provincial examination before returning home.

After finishing the meal, they called the waiter to settle the bill and the three of them walked out.

Several people came towards us.

Qian Gui almost bumped into one of the ladies.

Lin Miao looked at the two of them, speechless.

Fate always creates dramatic events unintentionally.

Mrs. Wang looked at the young man in front of her, then looked at Qian Fu who was following beside her, and a light flashed in her eyes.

Lin Miao didn't say anything.

Madam Wang bowed to Lin Miao and said, "Master Lin."

Lin Miao returned the gift.

A few people passed by each other without saying anything else.

A few days later, good news came from the government office that Zhang Jinyan passed the imperial examination and ranked third, which was a really good result.

Lin Miao thought that Zhang Jinyan had no famous teacher to guide her, so she decided to move to the capital.

There are many famous teachers here, and their perspectives on people and things are different.

She was in a hurry to find a real estate agent to look for a house, either to buy or to rent.

There happened to be a house for sale, which was close to the academy in the city. The price was a bit high, but it was worth it.

She bought it for 1,200 taels.

Then he planned to hire a carriage to go back to his hometown in the next few days to worship his ancestors and move all his belongings over.

That day, a maid from the Qian Mansion brought a note: "Master Lin, our lady is in the teahouse. I hope you can take the time to see her."

Lin Miao's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes.

She followed the old woman to the teahouse.

Madam Qian looked much more haggard. She sent the servants away, asked her trusted maid to guard the door, and then knelt down in front of Lin Miao.

Lin Miao didn't help her, and there was a cold light in her eyes.

Mrs. Wang knew she was in the wrong, but she still tried to remain calm.

Her eyes turned red and she covered them with a handkerchief: "Master Lin, I... don't know where to start."

Lin Miao sneered: "So, you don't plan to take back the child?"

Mrs. Wang was shocked, but then she understood.

This Immortal Lin is a capable man. He may have already seen the truth, but he has been keeping it to himself.

She sobbed, "Master Lin, I, I have my own difficulties. I can't take the child back now. I will have a chance in the future..."

Lin Miao looked at her coldly and said nothing. She couldn't make a decision on this matter.

Mrs. Wang was a little unable to continue, but she still managed to say, "Here is 5000 taels of silver. Use it to help the child settle down. It's all because I, as his mother, have let him down."

Lin Miao accepted the money without hesitation. This was the expensive money they owed, so why should she be polite?

She didn't want to explore the evil in human hearts, but this incident really disgusted her.

She couldn't accept a mother being so cruel to her own child!

She said to Madam Wang with a cold face: "You may only have one chance. No one can hurt others and then ask for forgiveness. You should take care of yourself."

After saying this, she stopped looking at Mrs. Wang, opened the door and walked out.

After Lin Miao returned home, she found Qian Gui and said to him, "Son, what I am telling you now is all true. After you listen to it, think carefully and then decide what to do."

Seeing his mother-in-law's serious expression, Qian Gui nodded quickly.

Lin Miao: "Your biological parents have been found. They are your adoptive father's former employer, the richest man in this city, with a fortune of millions. Back then, you were saved by your adoptive father due to some strange circumstances."

Qian Gui stood up suddenly, his eyes reddened: "Mom, my parents are still alive? I, I have family now? When can I go and meet them?"

Lin Miao felt a little reluctant to see the child so excited, but it would have to hurt.

I could only harden my heart and say: "Child, listen to me. Your father doesn't know you exist now. He thinks you are dead. I don't know if he wants to recognize you. Your mother..."

Then she gave a brief account of the Qian family's affairs.

Lin Miao took out 5000 taels of silver and placed it in front of Qian Gui: "Your mother said that you should live outside..."

Qian Gui seemed not to understand and looked at Lin Miao without blinking.

After a long while, he said, "My mother, she doesn't want to recognize me, why? I will be very filial to her."

Lin Miao couldn't bear to look at him, so she just turned to him and continued, "In fact, you have already met your mother. She is the lady you almost bumped into when we were in the restaurant that day..."

Qian Gui was stunned for a long time. He didn't say anything, but just looked straight ahead.

He recalled the lady he met that day, who was elegant and well-dressed.

Behind her was a young man in gorgeous clothes, who looked somewhat like her, except that he was fairer, taller, and had a refined temperament. He looked like a talented and well-educated man. Was he the son of that concubine?

He grew up under the personal care of his mother, and he's really an outstanding person.

My mother-in-law said that she heard that although Qian Fu could not pass the imperial examination, he had studied for many years and was good at economics.

He also got engaged to the concubine's daughter of the Tongzhi. From then on, the Qian family was no longer just a group of merchants, but had relatives with official ties.

He looked down at himself again, even though his mother-in-law had made new clothes for him.

But, even if I wear this clothes, I am still a poor farmer.

He raised his hand, which was rough and dry, covered with calluses from years of hard work in the Qian family.

My face is dark. Even though I have been working less in the fields these days, I am always running outside and my complexion has not improved much.

He suddenly understood something in his heart.

With a pain like a needle stabbing his heart, he squatted down and sobbed silently...

Lin Miao quietly wiped the corners of her eyes and whispered: "Child, no matter what you want, mother will always try her best to help you. If your father knew, he might recognize you. Even if he doesn't recognize you, if you want the Qian family, mother can help you get it..."

Qian Gui buried his head between his legs for a long time...

Later, he finally figured it out.

He raised his red and swollen eyes and said, "Mom, she doesn't recognize me, and I don't recognize her either. Forget it. I have lived all these years without them."

Lin Miao nodded: "Whenever you change your mind, mother will still help you. Don't worry, when we move to the capital, I will definitely help you achieve your career."

Qian Gui didn't believe he could achieve anything in his career. As an illiterate farmer, what else could he do besides tending to the crops and doing some hard labor?

In the future, you can run errands for your family, do odd jobs, or learn a skill, and you can live a good life.

He has a wife and children, and his mother-in-law treats him like her own son. What else could he ask for?

After thinking it through, Qian Gui crawled over on his knees, put his head on Lin Miao's knees, and shouted sincerely: "Mom, from now on, you are my real mother. I will be with you all my life and be filial to you."

Lin Miao couldn't stop her tears from flowing out of her eyes. She touched Qian Gui's head and said, "Good boy, don't worry. Mother will never let you suffer."

Qian Gui smiled embarrassedly with tears in his eyes.

He stood up and stuffed the banknote to Lin Miao: "Mom, please keep this banknote for us. When we need it, we will ask you for it..."

As he said this, he ran out.

Lin Miao shook her head and smiled. This kid has finally figured it out!

......

Lin Miao took Qian Gui and Zhang Jinzhi and hired a mule cart to return home. The cart was filled with various gifts.

The three of them talked as they ran towards Yuntong County.

When they entered the village, all the elders of the village came out to greet them.

The head of the Zhang family led the entire clan with high spirits.

This is the Zhang family's proud child. For many years, the Zhang family has not produced a juren or jinshi. Finally, they can be proud of their chance.

It turned out that two days ago, before Lin Miao and his friends even got home, the county government had already sent the good news, and the whole village was jubilant.

With such a tribe member, they will be full of confidence when they go out in the future.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Lin Miao took out some silver and treated the entire village to a buffet.

Old Lady Zhang brought Old Man Zhang to Zhang Jinyan and cried, "Grandson, grandpa and grandma are so happy. You have made us proud. From now on, grandpa and grandma will live with you."

Lin Miao sneered, I didn’t deal with you yet, and now you’re making trouble again?

If you dare to pick the fruit, I will chop off your claws.
