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

The villagers dispersed in groups of three or four, but they did not go far away. They all stayed close to listen to the news. So many interesting things happened at the same time, and they wanted to watch the fun!

Village Chief Qian, Qian Xiaomei, Lin Miao and others entered the house.

Zhang Qingqing still had to look after the children, so she could only wait until the matter was over before asking her husband and mother.

Lin Miao sat in the main seat first, and Qian Gui stood behind his mother-in-law.

Old Man Qian was leaning on the other side, and Village Chief Qian could only sit on a small stool below. Old Mrs. Qian had no choice but to stand aside with her daughter.

No one spoke for a while.

Lin Miao didn't want to waste time with them. She had plenty of ways to deal with them, but now she needed to make a quick decision and lead her daughter and her family away.

If the problem can be solved with worldly methods, there is no need to waste your spiritual energy.

She said to Old Man Qian with a sullen face, "Tell me what's going on with Qian Gui. Stop lying. Otherwise, we will go to the government office to file a complaint and let the county magistrate decide the case."

Old Man Qian looked at Lin Miao with hatred. He wanted to scold Lin Miao: "You damn old woman, if she hadn't come to my house, none of this would have happened."

But he didn't dare.

Lin Miao looked at his expression and understood everything. Although she didn't care about his little look, she didn't need to suffer for others.

He sneered at Old Man Qian and said, "You don't have to glare at me. If it weren't for your fake daughter who attacked Bao Zhu and almost killed him, I really wouldn't be interested in caring about your family's mess."

"Not now. My daughter and grandson are about to lose their lives in your house. I can't just sit there and watch."

When Old Man Qian heard this, he realized that it was Qian Xiaomei who invited the girl here. He had always thought of this daughter as his only flesh and blood and had always loved her sincerely.

He raised her like a treasure and even made Qian Gui work like a slave at home, all in the hope of saving more dowry for his child so that she could marry into a good family in the future.

I didn't expect that this girl was so vicious. She and my wife had been deceiving me all along and caused such a big disaster.

Qian Xiaomei trembled when her father glared at her. Things had completely gotten out of control and she was completely confused. How did she become the daughter of the village chief?

It’s all this old lady Lin’s fault, otherwise she would still be the treasure of the family.

Thinking of this, Qian Xiaomei's eyes flashed with viciousness, and she suddenly rushed towards Lin Miao. She was holding a piece of iron in her hand, wanting to knock Lin Miao down and then attack her violently.

Lin Miao had been keeping an eye on this little girl and had discovered that she was holding something in her hand. Seeing her rushing towards him, there was no way he could let her get close to him. He raised his foot and hit her in the heart.

Qian Xiaomei was kicked in the heart and her body flew backwards, hitting the wall and falling down after a while.

Mrs. Qian let out a howl, rushed over to hug her precious daughter, and while rubbing her, she cursed Lin Miao viciously.

Lin Miao grinned, her thin face full of contempt: "Why are you glaring at me? It's useless to glare at me. You encourage your daughter to deal with your daughter-in-law every day, but my daughter is stubborn and won't tolerate your bullying."

"Why, by harming Baozhu and driving Qingqing away, you can let Qiangui continue to work like a slave for you?"

"You and your daughter are trying to kill Baozhu together, but it's not going to work. Who will be the scapegoat in the future? Just wait and see."

Qian Xiaomei seemed to have encountered something terrible and kept shaking. Mrs. Qian was also scared and looked at the village chief Qian with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, please save Xiaomei quickly. This... what should I do?"

Lin Miao just watched her perform.

It seems that Mrs. Qian knows all these things.

If she forces Zhang Qingqing to leave, can she continue to hold the expensive money in her hands?

She is not beautiful, but she has beautiful thoughts.

Village Chief Qian looked a little confused, probably not knowing about these things. He looked at Mrs. Qian with an inquiring look.

Old man Qian looked at the couple, who were still flirting with each other in front of him without any restraint. Then he thought about how he had taken care of them over the years, and his face became gloomy.

Mrs. Qian opened her mouth, not knowing how to talk about this matter.

She instigated Qian Xiaomei to find someone to harm Qian Baozhu because Zhang Qingqing always went against her, and also because Qian Gui was now more and more concerned about his own family. Although the family had not been divided, once Xiaomei got married, how could he go through fire and water for her again!

Only by driving Zhang Qingqing away can he be obedient and continue to be the workhorse of their family. She raised him, and he owes her this.

Lin Miao ignored them. She would have to pay back the debt someday anyway.

She looked at Old Man Qian and said, "Tell me, how did Agui come to your house when he was a child? You'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, even if I don't go to the government to sue you, I will still find ways to make you tell me everything. Then, I will turn you into a fool and you won't have a chance to regret it."

Old Man Qian doesn't care about Qian Gui anymore. The truth has been revealed. Even if Qian Gui doesn't leave home, he won't be able to provide for him in his old age, and he won't treat him well. It's better for him to let go and deal with the family affairs."

He looked at Mrs. Qian and Village Chief Qian with a pair of sinister eyes, and then said to Qian Gui calmly: "A Gui, you are indeed not my biological son."

Qian Gui was about to rush forward, but Lin Miao held him back.

Old Man Qian continued, "Back then, I worked for a family named Qian in the capital. Mr. Qian's wife and concubine were both pregnant. The concubine gave birth to a daughter on the first day, and the wife gave birth to a son on the second day."

"This has nothing to do with me, but one day when I was out, I saw a woman from the mansion sneaking towards the stinking pit. I was curious, so I followed her secretly. The woman muttered to herself for a long time, threw down a bundle and left. I saw that she didn't look back, so I opened the bundle and took a look. If there was anything useful, I would take it home. We are country people, so there is no need to be so particular."

"But when I opened the bundle, I was scared. There was a little baby inside, covered in blood. It looked like it had just been born and hadn't been cleaned up. My wife hadn't gotten pregnant that year, and because of this, my mother at home kept scolding me. I was moved at the time, so I took the child and fled back to the village. I just fed the child with rice soup along the way, and he survived and returned to my wife's family with me."

"I asked my eldest uncle to send a letter back and asked my wife to return to my father-in-law's house. Later, I lied that my wife had been pregnant for a long time, but it was not discovered until the early months."

"So, she stayed at my father-in-law's house for a few months, and then returned home with the child. She told others that she didn't go home because she was pregnant and didn't dare to move. She came and went, and I covered for her. Even if someone suspected her, there was nothing I could do. In fact, my mother knew the truth, but she saw that I was determined not to divorce my wife and remarry, so she acquiesced. As for what happened to Agui, I don't know, and I have never been to the capital since then."

As he spoke, Old Man Qian looked at Old Lady Qian with sorrow: "Ah Zhen, have I been bad to you? How could you, how could you...are you worthy of me?"

Mrs. Qian avoided his gaze and kept saying that her husband had let her down. In fact, she knew it well in her heart: her husband always went out to work to earn money and she couldn't stand the loneliness.

Moreover, she had always suspected that Qian Gui, the child she brought home, was the child her husband had with someone else, but she herself had no children of her own. In addition, Village Chief Qian looked very elegant at that time, so she could not resist his seduction... Who knew that she would have a younger sister? At that time, she really thought that she could not have children, so she inevitably indulged herself a little.

After having my younger sister, she became even more self-righteous, thinking to herself, you are such a bastard. You clearly can't have children, but you didn't tell the truth and pushed the blame of being childless onto her, a woman, causing her so much grievances. Now, I have a daughter with someone else, and you deserve to be a cuckold.

Now that the truth was revealed, she was speechless and could only shed tears silently, looking weak.

Lin Miao sighed, old white flower, you are quite good at deceiving old men.

She said to Old Man Qian, "I think there's no need for you to lie about this. I'll trust you for once. We'll have to verify it in the end anyway. Although you have bad intentions towards Qian Gui, you saved his life in the beginning. Let's not talk about the father-son relationship. There's a gap in your hearts, and you can't live together well. If you're not father and son, he can still treat you as a lifesaver. If you are father and son, you might become enemies. Let's sign a document, and he will give you a lump sum of money for your retirement, as a way of repaying you."

It would be better if this karma is repaid.

Old Man Qian looked at her tattered Taoist robe. Although she had just taken out 5 taels of silver, he estimated that it would not be much. But he still wanted to try to raise the price. After thinking for a while, he said, "You can leave if you want. Qiangui gives me 100 taels of silver, and we will end our relationship. Otherwise, I will sue him for being unfilial."

Lin Miao sneered, "You still want to sue, what do you have to sue? You said you saved the child, but I said you stole the child. We can find a way to get the money back, but don't think that we are afraid of you suing and we are just repaying you with the money. But if you cause trouble again, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Old Man Qian was a little scared of Lin Miao. After this incident, he didn't want to provoke this evil old woman again. He just wanted them to get out of here quickly and didn't make any more demands.

Village Chief Qian said awkwardly: "Then I will find a few village elders to be witnesses, and then ask the village doctor to check the little sister's injury."

After saying that, he left in a hurry without waiting for anyone to answer.

Mrs. Qian held her daughter in her arms, her face gloomy, and did not speak. She was thinking about her future life and the deal with the Taoist priest. She did not dare to offend Lin Miao again, so she supported and carried Qian Xiaomei out of the main hall and returned to Qian Xiaomei's room.

Qian Xiaomei was fine. Lin Miao did not take any harsh measures against this vicious girl. She would soon get her retribution. Why should she intervene?

Let them experience it.

Qian Gui looked at his mother-in-law with pitiful eyes. Lin Miao comforted him: "Leave here first, and we'll talk later."

She had to deal with the most troublesome ones first.
