Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1659 Life Simulator 12
"Nothing happened on the first day."

The next day, nothing happened.

On the third day, your parents asked about your progress in finding a boyfriend. Upon learning there was no progress, they started pressuring you to get married, urging you to find one quickly so that better suited men wouldn't be snatched up by others when you got too old. You promised your parents you would try your best to find one.

On the fourth day, nothing happened.

Nothing happened on the fifth day.

On the sixth day, you see an online matchmaking event and decide to go check it out.

…………

On the ninth day, the matchmaking salon had more women than men, and you left disappointed, deciding never to attend matchmaking salons again because you knew they were pointless.

Do you know why there are more women than men in these matchmaking salons? Those who participate in these salons all have certain criteria. Men with good criteria don't need to go on blind dates; they can find their ideal partners in real life because they generally choose partners with similar criteria. If their personal criteria are not good, they can choose downwards, but they have fewer upward choices, so their selection range is large. Conversely, women generally choose upwards, but at most they can choose someone of similar caliber, and they have fewer downward choices, so their selection range is small. This makes it difficult for them to find a suitable partner, so they are more likely to participate in these matchmaking salons, resulting in more women than men in these salons.

…………

On the twentieth day, the stock market rose too quickly and experienced a short-term correction, plummeting by 30% in just a few days.

On the twenty-first day, during a routine phone call with my parents, I was once again pressured to get married.

…………

On the thirtieth day, you invited esports players to promote the company's game. One of the esports players showed interest in you, and you also had a good impression of him. Considering your parents' pressure to get married, the two of you added each other on social media and started chatting.

…………

On the 150th day, you and the esports player finally become a couple.

…………

On the 930th day, your husband slept with a fan.

…………

On the 1,500th day, your husband had an illegitimate child.

…………

On the two thousandth day, your husband divorced you and married his mistress.

…………

On the 6,800th day, your child showed e-sports talent, earned some money, and allowed you to live a relatively comfortable life.

You lived a relatively affluent but lonely life.

To be honest, seeing the original owner's parents pressuring her to get married in each simulation, Linlang inevitably grew increasingly annoyed with them. In truth, the original owner's death was somewhat related to her parents.

Because of the secret of the simulator, the original owner had never dated or married. As a result, the original owner's parents kept urging them to get married. At first, they simply reminded them, but later they hysterically berated them, saying that the original owner's failure to get married made them lose face in front of their relatives and friends, and that they could not hold their heads up among their relatives and friends, as if the original owner had committed an unforgivable crime by not getting married.

In the end, the original owner had no choice but to marry a decent man from a simulation.

However, it became difficult to continue simulating after marriage, because each simulation cost the original owner a lot of money. If the spouse found out that a large sum of money had been spent, they would definitely ask where the money went. Therefore, the original owner almost never simulated after marriage. Finally, one time when he was on a business trip by plane, the plane crashed and he died.

If they hadn't gotten married, the original owner would probably have just simulated it, and nothing would have happened.

Therefore, the original owner's death was more or less related to the original owner's parents.

These two people would rather lose their child than lose face themselves.

They may love the child, but it's not as important as their pride.

Looking at her original parents, Linlang would feel annoyed and want to block them and never speak to them again, if it weren't for the fact that they were her original parents. They were so annoying.

Her life was usually happy, except for that pair of negative people who constantly eroded her joy, spewing venom at her, which annoyed her to no end.

So when she saw the new content that had been recreated at her expense, which was mostly related to the original owner's parents, Linlang decided that she would not answer their calls every time they called. She would answer if she wanted to, and not answer if she didn't. Anyway, if the two of them had any urgent matters, they could send her messages on their phone numbers, but she didn't want to listen to their chats, so as not to ruin her good mood. Therefore, Linlang immediately set their phone numbers to silent mode.

As for how angry her original parents would be if she did this, that was none of her business. Anyway, they were miles away, so even if they were angry, they could only yell at her on the phone; they couldn't possibly come to her door to yell at her.

Moreover, the original owner's parents didn't have time to come to her door to scold her; they had to work hard like oxen to earn money to buy a house and a car for the original owner's younger brother, who was also her son.

Indeed, the original owner of this body had a younger brother. Linlang thought that the reason why the original owner's parents were urging her to get married was probably because they wanted to collect the original owner's dowry money to buy a house and a car for the original owner's younger brother.

In fact, in the original world, the original owner was forced into marriage by her parents who threatened suicide and subjected her to a barrage of insults. The bride price given by the groom was indeed taken by the original owner's parents, who even complained that the groom had given too little. Originally, they planned to ask for 288,000 yuan, but the original owner knew that her parents would keep the bride price and not give her a single penny, so she did not agree and asked the groom to give 88,000 yuan.

Her parents were naturally unhappy.

Fortunately, the original owner was already quite old at that time. She said that if they were unwilling, she would not marry. Her parents were afraid that if she didn't marry, it would embarrass them, so they had no choice but to let it go. Of course, they were furious and never gave her a kind look afterward. They even demanded that she give them two thousand each a month as a "retirement allowance"—actually, they wanted to get back the dowry they had received.

For them, according to tradition, they should receive a bride price; according to modern standards, they should receive a pension. There is no situation where receiving a bride price means they don't have to support themselves in old age.

The original owner's monthly salary was just over ten thousand yuan. In addition, she wanted to save money for simulations. Where would she get four thousand yuan a month to give them for retirement? So she only gave them two thousand a month. Actually, this was already quite a lot. No family around them would give their daughter two thousand a month. But they were still not satisfied and never gave the original owner a good look.

They told Linlang to give her the money, but she only gave the minimum amount to avoid them suing her for not supporting them in their old age. They even gave her two thousand. How wonderful!

According to the original owner's memories, the original owner used student loans to pay for college. This couple only raised the original owner until the age of eighteen and then stopped taking care of him.

Back then, supporting the original owner of this body didn't cost more than four thousand a month. But if the original owner were to support them in their old age, it would cost four thousand a month, and the period for collecting payments would definitely be longer than eighteen years. After all, even if the two of them hadn't reached retirement age, they had already asked the original owner for retirement expenses since the original owner started working. However, at that time, they were thinking about the bride price, and the original owner had just started working and didn't have much income. They also had to pay off student loans, so they couldn't come up with much money each month. Therefore, they only asked for two thousand a month, not four thousand. After all, if they asked for too much, the original owner wouldn't be able to save that much money, nor could they afford it.

Raising children for eighteen years and then collecting retirement fees for decades—that's an incredible return on investment.
