Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1473 The Game Arena 23
Although her ex-husband's daily earnings from monster hunting were enough to cover the accommodation and food expenses for their family of four, they couldn't save much money. After all, don't forget, Wang Jing's stepson was a big spender. Could he tolerate eating only the cheapest steamed buns, bread, and porridge, which cost one copper coin each? If he had any extra money, he would definitely ask his father for it and spend it all. And her in-laws listened to her stepson completely and did everything he said. They would definitely make her ex-husband buy things for her stepson. In this way, her ex-husband would be like before the apocalypse; no matter how much money he earned, it would all be spent by his stepson, leaving him with nothing. In other words, unless their family borrowed money from the territory to become official residents, they would remain temporary residents indefinitely, with huge expenses and no way to save money to become official residents.

This is also why Wang Jing is determined to leave, because she sees no future with her ex-husband's family, unlike now, where she has become a formal resident, has a job in her territory, and feels that everything is getting better.

Wang Jing's job was paid daily. After receiving the task, she would receive a day's wages after 24 hours. So, by the morning of the next day, Wang Jing had received 20 copper coins.

Seeing that there was no difficulty at all, she received twenty copper coins. Wang Jing felt relieved, thinking that even if she didn't receive any tasks next week, the money she earned this week would be enough to pay back the hundred copper coins she borrowed. The remaining copper coins, plus the copper coins she had saved during the three-day newbie period, would be enough for her to get by for a while.

She believes that she won't be unable to find tasks every week; as long as she manages to find one for a week, she can keep going for a long time.

But reality was even better than she expected. When she tried to grab a mission again next week, although she didn't get the herb planting mission, she did get the patrol mission.

The patrol missions are a bit more strenuous because it's not just about tapping on the game panel; you actually have to patrol.

But they don't need to run around the territory all day. They just need to stay at a few patrol points in the territory. If they see a report from someone who belongs to their jurisdiction, they can go and deal with it.

This jurisdiction is relatively small, and there isn't much to handle. So, aside from reporting to the patrol points and staying there, it's actually easier than managing herbs. At least managing herbs requires constantly watching the panel to see which herbs need watering, pest control, fertilization, and harvesting, and taking action to avoid affecting the yield and wages.

As long as they handle the report, there won't be any problems.

Since the two are of similar quality, the daily wage is also twenty copper coins.

Wang Jing quickly earned 100 copper coins and paid off her debts. As far as she knew, her ex-husband's family was indeed as she had imagined. Her ex-husband earned some money, and her stepson kept asking for it and spent it, which made it impossible for the family to save any money. As they became official residents, their daily expenses were particularly high. At the same time, they could not accept territory tasks to earn money, and their lives were very difficult.

I heard she rented a wooden house, which is much better than the thatched hut her family lived in. Her life is getting better and better. The old couple even wanted to persuade their son to get back together with her and get her money to improve their lives. They said that now that there is no civil affairs bureau, what kind of divorce are they? At most, they are separated. Legally speaking, they are still husband and wife. Since they are husband and wife, Wang Jing's money should be used together.

She almost laughed when she heard that. After all, if the two couldn't get a divorce without the Civil Affairs Bureau, she would also say that their marriage would be invalid without the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Her adopted son, of course, wholeheartedly agreed, because they had settled down in this territory, there were many people, and the territory had everything they needed; it felt like returning to the pre-apocalyptic era.

Now that life had returned to normal, his old extravagant habits returned, and naturally he wanted to buy this and that. But his father was the only breadwinner in the family, and the money wasn't enough. Hearing that his stepmother was doing well and had money, he naturally wanted to take advantage of her. After all, he had previously heard that Linlang, his sister who had no relation to him, was doing well, and he had even encouraged Wang Jing to go and cause trouble for Linlang, hoping to take advantage of her. Not to mention that Wang Jing was related to him; after all, legally speaking, she was his stepmother. Taking advantage of her made him feel even less guilty, so he naturally encouraged his father to get back together with Wang Jing.

Fortunately, her ex-husband wasn't shameless enough to agree.

She heard about this from her former siblings.

In the past, there were often conflicts when everyone was together. Now that Wang Jing has left, the conflicts have disappeared. However, the conflicts between her former sister-in-law and her ex-husband's family are still there. So she often grumbles to Wang Jing, mainly complaining about the eldest son's family and indirectly talking about the current situation of the eldest son's family. After all, she can't talk to others about this kind of thing. Wang Jing is an insider, so she talks to her about this.

When Wang Jing heard her say that her former in-laws actually wanted her to earn money to support them and their precious grandson, she couldn't help but sneer. They wished they were worthy of it.

They don't even consider how they and their stepson treated her and her son before, and now they have the nerve to expect her to earn money to support them.

Why doesn't she save that money for her son? If she has too much money, she also has a daughter she's neglected. Spending some on her daughter would be good; it might even help mend their relationship.

If you give it to the three of them, will they say a single good word about you? They'll just think she should support them, and they won't praise you at all.

Since she won't even receive a kind word in return, why should she earn money to support them?
As a result, her ex-husband was too shy to come over, but her stepmother-in-law had the nerve to come over and say that after she left, her son regretted it and wanted to remarry her, asking her to come back and live with him.

Wang Jing naturally wouldn't pay any attention to this hateful old woman. She hadn't forgotten how this old woman had made things difficult for her when the whole family lived together before. Just thinking about that period of life made her feel suffocated. She would have to be crazy to go back to that kind of life now that she was living a good life. So Wang Jing ignored her for the time being.

When Wang Jing's ex-mother-in-law saw that Wang Jing was ignoring her, she went to bother Wang Jing's son, thinking that he was young and easy to fool. So she put on a kind face and said to Wang Jing's son with her usual fake warm smile, "Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad miss you. Do you miss us? Come back with us. Grandma will cook you something delicious."

But Wang Jing's son wouldn't be fooled by her.

Of course, when I was little, I was really fooled by her sweet words and thought my grandma was nice. But later I found out that my grandma was just sweet-talking him and her smile looked even sweeter than when she was with my brother. But when she got serious, I could see that she only ever bought food and supplies for my brother and only gave him red envelopes. Of course, she was afraid that he would find out and make a fuss, so she always did it secretly. I never saw her spend any money on herself.

From then on, he knew that his grandmother was just a smooth talker who never put her words into practice, and he would never believe her sweet talk again.
