Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

There was a reason why the original owner's father and his family came to find Linlang again.

Previously, the original owner's father brought his parents to cause trouble for Linlang, but after being stopped by the patrol team, they dared not come back to cause trouble.

But just because they're not causing trouble doesn't mean they're no longer in contact with Linlang.

Seeing that Linlang was living a very good life, they wanted to take advantage of her, so they would occasionally run into Linlang, hoping to restore their relationship.

But how could Linlang possibly pay them any attention? Just thinking about how her stepsister often secretly harmed her, and how her stepson, fueled by her stepsister, openly caused trouble for her, she was already being lenient by not kicking the whole family out of the territory, considering that the original owner hadn't had much contact with the siblings and had been staying at school, so they hadn't been bullied much. If the original owner hadn't stayed at school and had been constantly bullying her, Linlang would definitely have blocked the whole family.

Of course, now that Linlang is being harassed by the original owner's father's family, she is starting to regret that she only blocked the original owner's ex-boyfriend's family and didn't also add the original owner's father's family's names. She is thinking that she should take the opportunity to kick the whole family out. Otherwise, although the family doesn't dare to bother her now, it is still annoying for them to keep hanging around in front of her.

The reason why she only blocked the original owner's ex-boyfriend's family was mainly because the original owner's ex-boyfriend had gone too far and was deeply etched in her memory. This is normal; anyone who has had seven years of their youth wasted would remember it vividly. So when Linlang arrived and sensed the original owner's gloomy mood, she blocked him without saying a word.

However, because the original owner had not been closely connected with her family, her memories of her father's family were rather vague and indifferent. Linlang could not sense how much the original owner's father's family was annoying just by looking at her memories, so she did not block them before.

Unexpectedly, after getting to know them, Linlang found that this family was as annoying as flies, even more annoying than her original mother's family. So Linlang regretted not blocking them.

Leaving aside Linlang's change of heart, let's just say that her father's family would come over to see Linlang every now and then, greet her, and try to repair their relationship.

There are reasons why he is so eager to repair his relationship with Linlang.

After Linlang upgraded her territory to level four, villas appeared in the territory. These villas had yards where players could grow herbs, vegetables, and even grains. Of course, such villas were very expensive to rent, let alone buy, costing fifty copper coins a day. Compared to the previous stone houses which only cost five copper coins a day, this was ten times more expensive, which seemed very uneconomical. However, players no longer needed to go to their territories to do quests. They could grow herbs, vegetables, and even grains at home to sell and earn money. Earning money without leaving home, and charging fifty copper coins a day, was quite normal.

Moreover, not only is it more convenient to make money, but villas also look so high-end and classy. Even if you don't make money, there are plenty of wealthy people willing to rent them, after all, living here makes you look so prestigious and powerful.

So even though the rent was fifty copper coins a day, and it was a house that Linlang had created specifically to rip off the rich, there were still plenty of people willing to rent it.

There are quite a few people with high incomes in the Linlang Territory. After all, there are now nearly 10,000 official residents and tens of thousands of temporary residents, which is equivalent to the population of a bustling town or a small county town before the apocalypse. With so many people, there are bound to be some rich people.

Putting aside everything else, those who do business with other territories have a lot of money.

There are also organized elite teams that hunt monsters outside, and their daily rewards are not small.

Even if you just take on quests within your territory, you can accumulate enough copper coins over time to rent a villa and enjoy yourself for a few days. As the lord, Linlang naturally moved into the villa as well.

In fact, the territory does have a lord's manor, but in order to conceal her identity, Linlang always lives in the villa where the territory's residents live, and rarely stays in the lord's manor.

Seeing that Linlang even had the money to live in a villa, this was why the original owner's father's family was even more determined to get her. Since Linlang could afford to live in a villa, it meant that she was very rich, and with so much money, it was no wonder that the original owner's father's family coveted her.

You should know that after the original owner's father and his family moved into the territory, everyone cherished their lives and dared not go out to fight monsters. They could only take on some territory missions to earn money. Naturally, the income from territory missions was not as much as that from fighting monsters outside. It was just enough to make ends meet, and they certainly couldn't enjoy life.

Moreover, of the seven people in their family, only the original owner's father and his wife, along with Grandpa and Grandma Zhang, did any work. The three children did nothing but spend money.

The youngest child is not yet an adult and can't do it, so that's fine. The original owner's stepsister and stepsibling are already adults, but they are also idle and unwilling to do anything. Not to mention that they are unwilling to do adventurous things like fighting monsters, they are not even interested in taking on quests in the territory. They just play mobile games—although there is no signal now, there are still single-player games to play—so the four people in the family have to support seven people, and the jobs that these four people do are not very lucrative. It is quite normal that they live a mediocre life.

Of course, if they lived in thatched huts and ate steamed buns, bread, and porridge, that would be perfectly fine, but they didn't want that. They wanted to at least live in stone houses where they could take showers and eat good food. If you calculate it that way, their money definitely wouldn't be enough to support them.

So when the Zhang family saw that Linlang was living in a villa, they naturally couldn't accept it. They all felt that if Linlang had given them the money to rent the villa, the seven of them wouldn't have spent it all on renting a stone house. It was such a waste that Linlang had spent it on renting a villa.

So they often came to see Linlang, hoping that after they restored their relationship, they would persuade Linlang not to rent the villa anymore, but to give them the money so that they could rent a stone house to live in. Wouldn't that be better?

—I have to say, this family is really dreaming. Linlang has that kind of money, why doesn't she enjoy it herself and live in a big villa, instead of renting them a stone house? How can they be so naive?

Who would have thought that after trying to get close to her for a while, Linlang would disappear from sight?

Recently, they have visited Linlang's villa several times, but have not seen Linlang.

At first, they thought Linlang had gone out or was hiding inside, which was why they hadn't run into her.

But after that, they guarded Linlang's house from morning till night, but still couldn't find Linlang. They then realized that Linlang had disappeared.

Seeing that Linlang had indeed disappeared, and confirming that she was truly gone and they hadn't seen her come out of the house, the Zhang family became excited. They contacted the patrol team, claiming to be Linlang's family, saying that Linlang had likely died while fighting monsters, and that they could inherit her estate. They requested permission to enter Linlang's villa and take all of her belongings. (End of Chapter)
