System: The Path of a Mortal Being Stronger Through Being a Mother
Chapter 74 My Mother is a Taoist Priest Part 10
Lin Miao returned to the village, and people along the way pointed at her.
She ignored them and was taken away by the bailiffs, thinking that these people would not say anything good.
When she returned to her doorstep and saw that her broken door was surrounded by people, she coughed. The villagers turned around and saw that it was Lin Miao who had returned in good shape. They smiled awkwardly and made way for her.
In the yard, an old woman in her sixties jumped three feet high and yelled at the children in the family.
When Zhang Jinyan returned home last night, he found out that his mother had been taken away by the yamen runners. He was worried: Did his mother use ghosts and gods to cheat people and was sued?
He hurried to the county early in the morning to inquire about the news.
Qian Gui also went out to find out through his connections.
Only Bai Erya, Zhang Qingqing and Zhang Qinqin were left at home with their three children.
Old Lady Zhang stood in the yard with her hands on her hips: "You money-losing bastards, you don't know how to persuade your jinxed wife every day. Now she has caused trouble. Don't affect my family's imperial examination and admission to school..."
Lin Miao said softly, "What's the point of affecting Zhang Laiyin's imperial examination? Aren't you afraid of making people laugh? He's not even a student. Besides, we've already separated, what does my family's affairs have to do with you?"
Old Mrs. Zhang was startled by her sudden words behind her, who had been silent all the time.
As soon as he saw that it was Lin Miao, he raised his hand and wanted to slap her. This jinx, if it weren't for her, how could his good eldest son die early? How could his outstanding eldest grandson be lost? It's all because of this jinx.
Lin Miao grabbed the old lady's wrist, and her newly changed Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, giving her an air of immortality.
No wonder Lin Dahua can use the identity of a Taoist woman to cheat people.
Her appearance gave her a sense of being out of touch with the world. Even though she was old and had a few wrinkles on her face, she was still a cold and aloof old lady. This was one of the reasons why Old Lady Zhang looked down on her.
Lin Miao held old lady Zhang's hand tightly, causing her to sweat and cry out in pain.
When Old Man Zhang saw that his old wife was at a disadvantage, he could no longer remain silent.
He coughed and said, "Old man, your mother is just worried that something has happened to you. Let go quickly. How can you be disrespectful to an old man? This is not good for Jinyan's reputation."
Lin Miao cursed in her heart that the person was insidious, but she could only let go.
She is not afraid of these two old men, but Zhang Jinyan's reputation must not be damaged.
If Bai Lingxi knew what she was thinking, she would definitely tell her: The person who is most damaging to Zhang Jinyan's reputation is your liar mother. In his previous life, Zhang Jinyan was forced to resign from his official position and return home because of this mother, where he became frustrated.
However, Lin Miaoke didn’t know this.
Zhang Qingqing and Zhang Qinqin were so happy to see their mother coming back that they almost cried. They hurried over to stand in front of their mother to prevent their grandmother from hitting her again.
Lin Miao felt warm in her heart.
She glanced around, and the vague pressure made the people around her feel a little depressed: Isn't this Lin just a liar Taoist priestess? How could she be so imposing?
Lin Miao sneered: "If you want to watch the fun, just wait and you will know in a while. My family is busy, so I won't entertain you."
After saying that, he forced the old couple of the Zhang family out of the yard and closed the gate.
Lin Miao took her two daughters back to the house.
When the old couple from the Zhang family came to visit, Bai Lingxi hid in the house on the pretext of looking after the children. Now seeing her mother-in-law and two elder sisters-in-law enter the house, she was afraid of being blamed and did not show up.
Of course Lin Miao noticed her look, but she didn't mind.
This outsider girl has a vicious heart. In order to avoid working, she always abuses Xiao Baozhu. Sooner or later, I will find a way to drive her away.
However, the original Bai Erya’s soul was still there, squeezed in a corner, and she had no time to deal with her now.
The two daughters entered the house, and Zhang Qingqing asked anxiously: "Mom, how did you come back? You scared us. We can't pretend to be... that anymore. We will always find a way to earn money to support you in your old age."
After hearing what her sister said, Zhang Qinqin nodded quickly.
Seeing her two daughters' filial piety, Lin Miao was also happy: "Okay, stop worrying about it. Do you really not trust your mother?"
She looked at Zhang Qingqing: "Don't you know your mother's ability yet?"
Zhang patted his head lightly: "That's right, how could I have forgotten, I just always thought... hehehe"
Lin Miao glared at her and told them to get busy. They shouldn't worry about anything and just take care of the house.
Not long after, there was noise outside again.
The two Zhang sisters looked at each other worriedly.
Lin Miao naturally knew what was going on, so she just asked them to stay in the house and she opened the door and went out.
Two yamen runners came in, one holding a plaque and the other holding a box. There was a carriage parked outside.
When the yamen runner saw Lin Miao, he was extremely respectful. They were the same two people who went to the charity cemetery together last night.
Seeing many people peeking out from outside, a yamen runner wanted to clear Lin Miao's name, so he announced loudly: "There is Lin, who is smart and talented. Yesterday, he helped the county government solve a strange case. He is rewarded with 100 taels of silver..."
Lin Miao thanked the two men, took the plaque and put it away, then took the box and saw 10 silver ingots of 10 taels and several silver bills inside.
Lin Miao: County Magistrate Wu is trustworthy and can get things done.
She smiled and said, "It's just a small thing that we should do. Thank you for making this trip. There are only women at home and it's inconvenient to entertain them. As a token of our appreciation, please go to the teahouse for some tea."
As she spoke, she stuffed a few taels of silver into their hands.
The two yamen runners were satisfied and bowed to take their leave. Before leaving, they whispered, "Master Lin, that old woman Qian and old man Qian were given 10 lashes each by you for falsely accusing you, as a warning to others."
Lin Miao bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Wu, and thank you, Mr. Cha."
All are happy.
But everyone outside the yard who heard the news was stunned.
What? Isn't Lin just a fortune teller? Or a fake one?
How did he receive the commendation from the county magistrate?
Could it be that I have some misunderstanding about her?
Don’t talk nonsense in the future. If you offend people who practice cultivation, aren’t you afraid of dying silently?
The old man and old lady of the Zhang family were retorted, but they did not learn their lesson and came to cause trouble again.
Old Madam Zhang entered the yard. Lin Miao didn't want to be watched, so she let her into the house. "What's wrong, mother-in-law? Why did you just leave and come back again? What excuse are you going to use to accuse me this time?"
Old Lady Zhang said awkwardly, "No, it's from the old family. It's time to pay the tuition fee. Can you lend me some money? When I pass the exam and become a scholar or a juren, will I forget about you? It will be good for you."
Lin Miao sneered, "Mother-in-law is really joking. My Jinyan is already a scholar, why should I rely on a nephew who is still a commoner! The money in your hands and your father-in-law didn't help us when my family was starving to death."
"Now that we have some income, you are so shameless to come and borrow money. Sorry, I won't lend it to you, even if I have money. We have already separated the family, and we have paid the filial piety money on time. In the future, please don't come to our house if you have nothing to do, so as not to lose face."
Old Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she started cursing.
However, when she looked up, she saw Lin Miao's deadly eyes and she was so scared that she held her breath back.
What happened?
Why is this Lin different from before? He looks so gloomy and scary.
She cursed a few words and left quickly. She felt that if she didn't leave, she would be in trouble.
Lin Miao looked at her hurriedly leaving back and felt a little annoyed.
If I have some income in the future, will this family come to me and ask for money?
Is it easy to take advantage of Lin Miao?
Come once and make them unlucky once.
Lin Miao took out 50 taels of silver and gave it to Zhang Qingqing, asking her to prepare everything the family needed, especially bedding, food and clothes.
Zhang Qingqing had never seen so much money before. The 100 taels that her mother gave out to get them to leave the Zhang family didn't count because that was given to others. This was for their own spending.
At that time, she was still wondering where her mother got the money.
She saw it with her own eyes today. Her mother also showed her the 400 taels of silver note. It was real 500 taels.
She just felt helpless.
After some time, she calmed down.
Her mother has handed over all the household affairs to her, so she has to make sure her mother lives a comfortable life.
The first thing is to buy my mother a few sets of good Taoist robes. That is her face in the outside world.
Then I replaced all of my mother's bedding and she used the old ones herself.
Also, at home, my mother had to eat refined rice, but the children only needed to eat brown rice.
After thinking it over, she and her sister quickly prepared lunch.
After the family finished their meal, Lin Miao went to rest, actually to practice.
Zhang Qinqin brought all the children to her room and coaxed them to sleep.
Zhang Qingqing and Qian Gui went to the county together, one to find their brother and tell him the good news that his mother had returned home safely, and the other to go shopping.
In the evening, Zhang Jinyan and her sister and brother-in-law returned home on a ox cart.
He knelt in front of his mother, tears flowing uncontrollably.
He is so useless, he is not worthy of being a son. He makes his mother do those dangerous things to support his studies. How can he be worthy of his missing brother and dead father!
Lin Miao didn't know what the kid was thinking, she just felt troubled that he was so sad.
How to coax such a grown-up son?
She patted her son on the shoulder and said, "My child, just study hard. I have you at home now. I am still waiting for you to earn me a crown and a robe."
Zhang Jinyan listened and nodded solemnly: "Mom, don't worry, your son will live up to your expectations."
Lin Miao: Actually, there’s no need to feel so stressed. I’m just saying that.
No matter what, even Bai Lingxi smiled sincerely knowing that the family had such a huge income. With money, the whole family will live more comfortably.
Qian Baozhu is in better health now. He can walk and jump on his own, and his face looks healthy. He just needs to take good care of himself.
The dinner was sumptuous and the children's laughter could be heard from far away.
......
Lin Miao practiced until midnight, then quietly left the room and went to Old Zhang's house.
She originally wanted to create some trouble for these people to prevent them from scheming against others all day long, but unexpectedly, she heard a secret that shattered her worldview.
