Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Of course, wealthy people can also rent third-class residential stone houses.

The stone house has a toilet, kitchen, and bathroom. Unlike in a second-class wooden house or a first-class thatched house, you don't have to go through the trouble of drawing water from a well and using a wooden basin to wash yourself. Since the stone house has a bathroom, you can take a shower directly in the bathroom, but you have to pay for the water.

But since water costs money anyway before the apocalypse, this is quite normal.

Those who can afford to rent a stone house can naturally also afford to use a bathroom.

Actually, the rent for the stone house in Linlang is not expensive, only five copper coins per person per day, but the facilities inside are complete and there is no difference from before the apocalypse, so it is still a good deal.

Nowadays, everyone is quite frugal, wanting to save money to buy better equipment and weapons. So unless someone is particularly well-off, most people are content with sleeping in a thatched hut and don't have many other aspirations.

Those who were particularly well-off rented stone houses, and seeing that there were bathrooms inside, they naturally didn't mind spending a little money to take a bath.

Just as Linlang upgraded her territory to level three and her territory grew larger and larger, she discovered that a group of familiar people had come to her territory—her original father's family.

Although the original owner had a distant relationship with her parents, they weren't as rude as her ex-boyfriend, so Linlang didn't block them. Therefore, it was normal for this family to be able to see her territory and enter it. After all, her territory was cheap, and if it wasn't too far away, most people would come in.

After the original owner's father and mother divorced due to personality clashes, he soon remarried. Since the original owner's father was already quite old when he divorced his mother, his wife was naturally not unmarried; she was also divorced with children, and even had a son and a daughter.

When three children are together, conflicts are bound to arise. The other party has two children, while the original owner only has one. In addition, the original owner is gentle and honest, so he is the one who gets bullied. The original owner's father is impatient to deal with the disputes between the children, fearing that it will affect his relationship with his new wife. He also dislikes the original owner as a burden, so he puts all three children in boarding school and enrolls them in summer camps during the summer vacation, keeping them all far away.

After that, the original owner went to university, graduated and got a job, and almost lost contact with that place.

Therefore, the original owner of this body did not have much hatred towards her father's new wife's family, because they had not spent much time together.

The original owner's father and his new wife later had another child, so the people who entered the door now were the original owner's grandparents, the original owner's father, the new wife, and their three children, a total of seven people.

The original owner of this body was unaware that her father's new wife's child had already graduated and was working, so why was she still with them? After Linlang arrived, in order to know herself and her enemy, she investigated the people related to the original owner and found out what was going on—the original owner's stepmother's two children, the older one was preparing to take the civil service exam and the younger one was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance exam. As for the children born to the stepmother and the original owner's father, they were not yet adults, so they were all at home.

But while they say they're taking the civil service exam or the postgraduate entrance exam, based on Linlang's observation over the long term, they actually just don't want to work and want to sponge off their parents, so they ran away.

They were all afraid that their mother and stepfather, who was also the original owner's father, had given their money to the youngest child, or even to the original owner himself.

Although the original owner had almost no contact with that side, they always felt that since the original owner and her father were father and daughter, they were related by blood. Who knows, one day the original owner's father might give her a large sum of money. Wouldn't it be a loss for them to work hard outside?
So he hid at home, spending his father's money to his heart's content, thinking that if they spent more, they would give him less in the future.

To fight for that little bit of money, they'd rather not work and have no future. Linlang was speechless. Is it worth it to give up your future for that little bit of money? Of course, unless they're really lazy and don't want to do anything, but judging from the investigation, these two aren't completely lazy. They just want to take advantage of others. In their view, not getting an advantage is a loss.

At this moment, the family of seven, except for the youngest child who was a minor and couldn't be recognized by the territory system, all had to pay. Fortunately, the Linlang territory only charged five copper coins per day, so for six people, it only cost thirty copper coins, which they could afford. So they settled down.

Linlang ignored them and tried to avoid meeting them as much as possible. She could tell that this family had been wandering all the way and had probably exhausted their money in other territories. They didn't have much money left, and if they saw that she was doing too well, they might ask her for money because of her status as the original owner's father. So, she avoided them for the time being.

However, they are all in the same territory. Although the territory is now at level three and is quite large, it is still not the size of a city. It is about the size of a village. As a result, it is still easy for them to run into each other.

Sure enough, the two met face to face that day.

Unfortunately, although Linlang had little bees that could help keep watch over the surroundings, if something happened on both sides, the little bees could only take care of one side and not the other. Linlang only kept one little bee by her side to keep watch, and sent the others out to do their own things.

A small bee (a type of bee) is usually enough, since it's rare for both sides to be in a situation at the same time.

Little did they know that something else was happening that day. The little bee only detected the situation in one direction and reported it to Linlang, but it didn't notice that the original owner's father's family was approaching from the other side. So it didn't report it, and the Zhang family ended up coming face to face with Linlang.

Although the original owner of this body didn't have much contact with Zhang's father's side, it wasn't like they had no contact at all, so naturally, the people on Zhang's father's side still recognized her.

Linlang's clothes were elegant and her expression was composed, indicating that she was living a relatively good life, unlike them, who didn't have much money and couldn't maintain a composed demeanor.

The thought that Linlang might be doing well made these people's expressions light up. Clearly, they wanted to see if there was anything they could take advantage of her.

Would Linlang let them take advantage of her? She immediately wanted to leave in a hurry.

Once she separates from this group and is more careful next time, it will be difficult for them to run into her again. In that case, today's encounter will be completely useless.

But the Zhang family members clearly saw through her plan. Immediately, the stepbrother brought by her stepmother ran up to Linlang and stopped her with a smile, saying, "Isn't this your sister? I really didn't expect to run into you here."

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Linlang had no choice but to greet everyone.

However, she figured getting to know her wouldn't be a problem, but anyone trying to take advantage of her was dreaming. Anyway, it's the apocalypse now, and these people trying to pressure her by claiming Zhang's father is her father and demanding support are useless. She simply refuses to give money, so what can they do to her? Before the apocalypse, they could sue her in court, but now that it's over, there are no courts for them to sue. (End of Chapter)
