Chapter 1474 The Game Arena 24
Later, when Wang Jing's son saw his grandmother's smiles, he realized that they were fake smiles, not genuine smiles. When his grandmother smiled at his brother, it was a genuine expression of emotion, unlike when she smiled at him, which looked particularly fake.

He only realized these things when his brother deliberately showed off the things his grandmother had given him in front of him to make him sad.

However, he was an honest child. Although he was sad after hearing his brother boast and wondered why his grandmother treated him this way, he didn't go to his grandmother to ask for those things because he was too embarrassed to ask.

If his grandma buys him something but not his older brother, his brother will definitely yell that it's unfair and he wants it too. He remembers when he was very young, his dad bought him a toy, but his older brother was much older, so his dad didn't buy him one and only bought other things. His brother yelled that it was unfair and he wanted the toy too.

In other words, what he has, his brother must have; what his brother has, he can be without.

Since he knew that his grandmother's smile was fake and that she wasn't kind to him at all, he naturally wouldn't believe her sweet words when she came to comfort him. Instead, he was foolishly moved by her false sweet talk and went with her.

Moreover, it's better not to mention cooking delicious food. As soon as he does, he remembers how, before the end of the world, his mother would pick him up from school every day. Because the road was far, she didn't have time to cook, so his grandmother would do all the cooking.

As a result, Grandma, who had taken control of the kitchen, always cooked according to my brother's tastes. Before the end of the world, except for weekends, he never ate anything that suited his own taste from Monday to Friday. It was only on weekends, when his mother cooked, that he could eat something he liked.

So when Wang Jing's mother-in-law brought up this matter, Wang Jing's son would not only not be happy, but would also be unhappy. So he said indifferently, "Forget it. Grandma's cooking is always what my brother likes to eat. There's nothing I like to eat. I can't get used to Grandma's cooking. I'd better not go over there."

When he was with them before, he couldn't say such hurtful things to avoid arguing and creating a bad atmosphere at home that would affect his studies. But now that he's left with his mother, he can say whatever he wants.

When Wang Jing's former mother-in-law heard her grandson say that, the fake smile on her face disappeared. She wanted to scold Wang Jing and question the child about whether Wang Jing had taught her son to say such things, but when she saw Wang Jing looking at her coldly and then at her grandson looking at her coldly, she couldn't bring herself to scold him.

For the first time, she realized that Wang Jing and her son were no longer the people she used to be in her home, whom she could manipulate at will. They had escaped her control, and she could no longer do anything to them.

She had originally thought that if she coaxed Wang Jing's child back, Wang Jing, as the mother, would obediently come over.
Originally, she had hoped that the child would be simple-minded and easy to coax, so that she could coax the child back and Wang Jing would have no choice but to go back with her. She thought she could then smugly laugh at Wang Jing for trying to leave, but in the end, she would still be unable to escape her control. However, the child was not easy to fool at all, and her idea of ​​controlling her mother through the child failed. Naturally, her face turned ugly.

Seeing that Wang Jing ignored her and that she couldn't coax the child, Wang Jing's former mother-in-law left in a huff.

Wang Jing watched her former mother-in-law leave dejectedly and couldn't help but sneer, thinking that this family was despicable.

The husband's ex-wife cheated on her, and her younger son's wife had a bad temper and often cursed. This mother-in-law frequently complained to others about her two daughters-in-law. When it came to her, she was an honest and kind woman who never caused trouble. But how did this old woman treat her? Did she cherish such an honest daughter-in-law? Of course not! Seeing her honesty, the old woman took advantage of her and bullied her.

She's not just cheap; she only knows how to cry when she has a bad daughter-in-law, and she doesn't cherish a good one, instead bullying her. Someone like her deserves to marry a bad daughter-in-law. It's a battle of wits; after all, evil people need evil people to wear them down.

Her ex-husband wasn't a good person either. He seemed honest and simple on the surface, which was why she chose him. She thought he was better than her first husband. Someone like her, who was bad at arguing, wanted to marry such an honest man to avoid being bullied by her husband and in-laws, and not knowing how to win an argument.

As it turns out, her ex-husband seemed honest, but he was actually a mama's boy and a father's boy. He did whatever his parents told him to do. His son from his previous marriage was raised by his parents, and they had a very strong bond with him, almost like he was their own child. On the contrary, her son was raised by her, not by her parents, so they had no emotional connection with him. As a result, her parents treated her and her child very badly, only being nice to their eldest grandson, whom they had raised themselves and who they felt a strong bond with like their own children. Because her ex-husband was a mama's boy and a father's boy, he never said anything to make his parents treat both children equally to avoid affecting their mental health and development. He just pretended not to know and played the good guy.

This behavior infuriated Wang Jing. She thought, "He doesn't even protect his own child and lets others bully him. What kind of honest person is he? He's trash, isn't he?"

That's why Wang Jing had wanted to leave for a long time; otherwise, she simply couldn't stand the suffocating atmosphere in that house.

Wang Jing thought she would have to endure a few more years until her son finished his college entrance exams before she could escape that oppressive environment. Unexpectedly, the game world arrived, allowing her to escape that twisted and abnormal environment a few years earlier. Wang Jing was still very happy, thinking that the arrival of the game world wasn't all bad.

Imagine if the apocalypse hadn't happened, and she was still living like before the end of the world. Not only would she and her son have to stay in that suffocating environment, but something even more terrifying awaited her—the elderly couple were getting older, and if something happened to them, her husband would be busy with work and wouldn't have time to take care of them. In that case, she would have to take care of them. There was precedent for this; once, her former mother-in-law was unwell and had surgery, and her husband made her take care of her. Those days were incredibly annoying for her.

She didn't want to take care of her ex-mother-in-law, who had always been unkind to her and her child, so she asked her husband to hire someone to take care of her. Her husband got angry, saying that his mother had only had minor surgery and only needed to be cared for for a few days. He said he was working and didn't have time to take care of her, but she was his wife, so what was wrong with her taking care of her for a few days? Hiring someone was going too far; she was calculating everything within the family.

Wang Jing said that she didn't need to hire anyone, but he would give her money to take care of her—that way she could treat herself as a caregiver and it wouldn't matter who she took care of—but her ex-husband, an honest man with a good reputation, also refused to give her the money, implying that she was being unreasonable and that the family was too calculating and petty.

Look, this is what you call an honest person? Wang Jing now feels a bit uncomfortable whenever she hears the word "honest person".

Just look at this small example from before, and you'll know that if her ex-husband's parents become bedridden in the future, and he has to work and can't take care of them, then it will be her responsibility.

The thought of how those two old men treated her child differently and were not kind to her, while she still had to take care of them, made Wang Jing very angry.

Fortunately, the playground arrived, and she was able to leave that scumbag family ahead of time. Now she's living a very comfortable life.
