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

Wang Shan's reputation is more than just ruined.

The more Lin Miao thought about the original owner's experience, the angrier she became. Were her stepson and stepdaughter raised in vain?

In the middle of the night, Wang Shan went to the toilet and was knocked unconscious and stuck in a stinky pit.

Lin Miao: ………Hehe, you’re welcome.

Lin Miao's words silenced the elder. His face turned dark red, and his eyes were filled with anger. "These are all trivial matters. After all, they are women. They are so heartless."

Lin Miaoke didn't want to spoil him: "Don't talk about rules or not. Our clan has really strict rules! Don't say anything, let's split up!"

The clan leader and the others all looked unhappy. They were pointed at and accused of being unruly, and they were in a very bad mood, but they were powerless to refute.

Lin Miao was also helpless. If the division was not approved by the clan, she would not be able to get a division certificate and would not be able to set up a new household.

Why should she split up the family business instead of complaining to these old men?

The clan leader sighed and said, "Then it's up to you. How do you want to divide the family property?"

Lin Miao said, "There is nothing to divide at home. When the head of the family passed away, he only left six acres of land. Half of it was divided by Wang Shan, leaving only three acres. But in recent years, the second son has been working as an accountant in the town and has never brought any monthly salary home. Not to mention the expenses for the wedding, not to mention how much food he took from home during the wedding year, and the seven or eight taels of silver he borrowed time and time again. Add to that the various expenses at home, and there is no money left at home."

He looked at his sons and said, "I was sick a few days ago and had no money to treat it. I almost died. If they want the land, give the eldest and the third son two taels of silver each. If they don't want the land, the three acres of land will be given to the eldest and the third son one acre each, and the remaining acre will be considered as the second son's return. Sell the land and give the three brothers two taels of silver each. There is no money left in the family, so don't worry about it. Just divide the other things into three parts and give them one room each in the house, and I will have one room, and the kitchen and the living room will belong to me. I won't need them for my old age, and I won't help them. Just live your own life. How you live is up to you. No one should blame anyone else, and don't go to others to make up for their money. That's all."

The second son, Wang Shu, looked unhappy and shouted, "Mom..."

Lin Miao raised her hand to stop him: "I don't want to say anything about the past. If you still want to save face for yourself, don't say anything."

Wang Shu's face flushed red. He was smooth and selfish, but he still had to save face in front of so many people.

But, mother won’t give them any face today!

He weakly defended himself, "I was really short of money, so I came back to borrow from you. It's not that I don't want to pay it back. I don't want the land anymore. Just consider it as my repayment. Let's sell it and share it among us."

The eldest son thought for a while and said, "Mom, I have grandchildren at home, and one acre of land is not enough for us to support ourselves. How about selling the second son's acre of land to me? I will give the second and third sons two taels of silver each."

What he was thinking was: this acre of land is worth 7 or 8 taels of silver. If he bought it like this, it would be equivalent to spending 6 taels. Not only is it cheap, but it is also next to his own land. Therefore, he did not care about exposing his own small treasury.

Lin Miao chuckled: "You are a smart person. You haven't divided the family property yet, so you have plenty of money. Okay, then you can give two taels of silver to each of the second and third sons, and get the documents for dividing the family property ready."

"Let's divide the household today and set up a new household. We will be four families now. You brothers should also get the land deeds and other things done. If there are any more disputes, I will not get involved."

The clan leader was embarrassed and asked, "What do you say about the elderly care?"

Lin Miao said: "No need, we should live our own lives. They should not come to me for food. I would rather die of starvation or illness than rely on them. That's it, let's divide it."

The third son, Wang Sen, said hurriedly, "My lady, I will take care of you in your old age, don't worry."

Lin Miao: "Rest assured? Why should I be assured? Just because you are idle? You want to support me in my old age? I think it's more like you are just eating me up in my old age, humph."

After a few words, Wang Sen immediately became withdrawn, dejected, and said nothing more.

Lin Miao was too lazy to pay attention to them. She apologized and went back to the house.

The subsequent matters were taken care of by the sons.

In this shabby environment, there is a mattress on the kang, but it is not only uneven, but also has a smell.

But she doesn't want to do anything now. After the family is divided, they can live separately and improve their living conditions.

The three sons were dividing up the things. There wasn't much in the house to begin with, so after a lot of arguing, they finished dividing up the things in no time.

The clan leader and the elders were not at home for dinner either. Lin Miao had already asked Fang to take the tofu and some eggs she had bought and divide them among the people.

The few of them no longer complained and took the boys to handle the household division and land deeds.

Lin Miao didn't care anymore and just waited for them to finish the matter before making any plans.

At noon, Fang stewed the chicken she bought, and the group had a farewell meal.

Fang was quite satisfied. Although the family was not divided according to her ideas, she bought the one acre of land, which was considered a bargain.

From now on, I will be the head of my own household and I won’t have to save the money my husband earns secretly. It’s a wonderful thought.

Around the end of the 4th hour, the eldest and the third brother came back.

The second brother stayed in the town after finishing his business and did not come back. He also agreed to sell his house to the eldest brother. There was no profit to be made in his hometown, so why did he come back?

Lin Miao took over the newly opened account and found that hers and Lao San's were opened together, and the owner of the account was Lao San...

The third brother said with a wandering look in his eyes: "Mom, if you want to set up a household account for yourself, you should set up a female household account. It is not easy to set up a female household account..."

Lin Miao looked at his wandering eyes. What else was there to not understand? Was it troublesome for a woman to stand up?

What's the trouble?

In order to increase the number of households and enhance his political achievements, the county magistrate now likes to add more children to the number of households.

Moreover, when they left, she gave the eldest brother 2 cents of silver, so why couldn't it be done?

The eldest brother saw that things were not going well, so he quickly said, "Mom, you and the third brother are living together temporarily anyway, why don't you...wait for two years?"

Lin Miao knew exactly what he was thinking. Wasn't he just afraid that she wouldn't be able to work in a few years and would let him take care of her in her old age?

This is the kind of person who looks simple-minded but has a cunning heart.

She reached out to the boss: "Give it to me."

The eldest brother was stunned for a moment before he reacted and handed over the two cents of silver. He felt regretful in his heart, wondering why didn’t his mother forget?

Lin Miao gave the two coins to the third brother and said, "Go to the village and buy some rice, vegetables, and eggs. Find someone to build the wall tomorrow."

The price of food in this era: rice is 6-10 wen per jin, depending on the quality, the price is different, brown rice is 4-5 wen, white flour is about the same as rice, and coarse grains are 2-3 wen per jin. Eggs can be 1 wen each or 3 wen for two.

After saying that, she took the basin and went outside to wash clothes.

Well, it’s not bad to have a little follower, who has a good character and can teach.

Now that we’ve separated, let’s eat something good!

It’s a nice thought, and that barbecued pork son is still staring at her.
