Demon King, you just need to conquer, and your husband will come up with the solution.

You know, a month ago, this brat was still shouting that making clothes was women's job, and he refused to calm down and learn needlework from me no matter what I said.

This kid always thinks that sewing has no future and is incompetent, and that going out and fighting with others and making a name for yourself is the real skill.

At first Dolly had a headache about how to correct this boy's thinking. Fortunately, after a few days, a ready-made example appeared in front of them.

Jesse, the daughter of the next-door neighbor, was selected by the Demon King's Castle to be an apprentice. After only a few days, she seemed to have been appreciated by the Demon King for her good performance.

When Jesse came back, she brought a lot of cloth and also gave her family several pieces of good cloth. It was not linen, but real cotton!

Moreover, through chatting with Jesse's mother, Dolly learned that these apprentices were really well treated.

Not only are three meals a day provided, but if your workplace is far from home, you will also be provided with a special house to live in!

What’s more, they don’t live in the shacks built by residents in the outer city, but in houses built with cement and stones in the inner city!

Moreover, with these conditions, you can still earn money. Eighty magic crystals a day, four days off a month, and about two thousand magic crystals a month. In a year, you can earn about twenty to thirty thousand.

If you perform well and are promoted to a regular employee, your salary can rise to 100 magic crystals a day! That’s more than 30,000 magic crystals a year!

In addition, formal employees also receive some employee benefits every month, such as daily necessities such as food, oil, salt, cloth, and iron, etc. These are hidden wages!

What does this treatment mean? My husband's land can grow 10,000 kilograms of big-leafed sweet potatoes a year.

If he deducted the 3,000 kilograms of food rations left for his family of five and the 2,000 kilograms of grain tax to be handed over to the Demon King's Castle, he could earn more than 40,000 magic crystals a year by selling the rest.

These 40,000 magic crystals are all the revenue that Batum earned after a year of hard farming. There are very few monsters like him who can manage a few acres of land by himself. When it comes to farming, everyone knows that the man in his family is famous for his ability.

What about now? Although the girl next door, Jessie, has thin arms and legs, she used to be an apprentice, and her annual salary was basically the same as her husband's annual income.

Moreover, they can live in a house built with cement and stones, and they don’t have to worry about food, drink, defecation or urination. The factory takes care of everything. Which family would not be envious?

Now, Dolly immediately had a reason and example to give her own son a good beating! No matter how well you do in the gang, can you be as good as your father?

Look, your father is not as well off as Dolly now, and you are fighting all day long. You are not as capable as a girl!

Fortunately, although Barrick is a bad guy, at least he still has some self-respect.

After being beaten by himself a few times, he actually calmed down and no longer thought about going out to hang out with his gang friends all day long. Instead, he started to learn needlework seriously.

Dolly was even more satisfied with Barrick's performance these days, and he became much quieter. I heard that a new round of recruitment was coming, and with the boy's current appearance, it shouldn't be difficult for him to become an apprentice.

After Barrick finished cutting the cloth, he lifted his two younger siblings, who were still laughing and playing, from his shoulders, looking a little depressed.

No one knows a child better than his mother. Dolly immediately felt that her son seemed to have something on his mind, so she asked curiously, "What's wrong, son? Is there something on your mind?"

"...Mom, Jesse and her family are moving away?"

"Hmm?" Dolly raised her eyebrows, glanced at Barrick who looked a little depressed, shook her head helplessly, and nodded: "Yes, her family is moving to the inner city. In a few days, they will be residents of the inner city."

"..."

Barrick listened to his mother's words in a trance and fell into silence. Jesse was much younger than him, and since they were neighbors, they had a very pure relationship, so he had always regarded this short demon girl as his sister.

To a certain extent, they are even closer to him than his own brothers and sisters who are laughing and playing in his arms, because these two little devils have nothing in common with him.

But Jesse was able to talk to me a lot.

He has always had the manly idea that he can protect Jesse, and the same idea also extends to his mother Dolly, as well as his younger brothers and sisters.

He believed that by relying on his own strength and making his gang bigger and stronger, he could become a big monster in the outer city area, and maybe even send those who were close to him to live in the inner city area!

The inner city area is the place that countless monsters from the outer city area dream of. After the city gates are opened every day, any monster can go in for a tour.

Looking at the bustling but clean streets, the noisy but well-ordered public security, and the densely packed cement houses in the inner city that are strong enough to withstand wind and rain...

Every time he went to the inner city with his gang brothers, Barrick could feel that the disparity in this world was so obvious and so huge, even if the difference was just a ten-meter-thick wall...

And his old linen clothes constantly reminded him that he was still a peasant from the outer city and there was no place for him in the inner city.

The boss of his own gang often clamored that once the gang became successful and well-known, he would take his brothers to live in a big mansion in the inner city!

Doesn’t Barrick have the same idea?

Settle your loved ones in the prosperous and stable inner city, live in large mansions that can shelter you from the wind and rain, put on cloth clothes, and chat and laugh with a group of decent monsters.

That is my ultimate goal in life! I am willing to pay any price for it, even my own life!

Barrick has always believed this. He believes that if he tries his best, he can definitely do these things!

Until a few days ago, Jesse, who came back from vacation from his neighbor's house, told him a piece of news.

"Brother Batum, I may have to move with my mother in a few days."

"Moving? Where to?"

"We're moving to the inner city. The maid at the Demon King's Castle has already arranged a house for me. Once we pack our bags, we can leave."

"Inner... Inner city..."

"Hmm. After all, the outer city is too chaotic, and my family are all little demons, so we don't have the ability to protect ourselves. Although, Brother Barrick and your family are protecting us...

But I’m really sorry to bother you all the time, so I decided to take my family to live in the safe inner city!

Of course, don’t worry that we won’t meet again. The place I chose is not far away. Barrick, you can stop by when you enter the city~”

"You...how did you end up living in the inner city..."

"Well... maybe it's because I performed well when I was an apprentice. The Demon King directly gave me a resettlement house. Of course, with my salary, it's not difficult to rent a house in the inner city."

Jesse's smile was so bright and sunny, as if it could bring people the power of optimism, but Barrick suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of frustration!

Especially when I heard Jesse explain in an extremely nonchalant tone why he moved to the inner city...

At that moment, Batum felt an incomparable sense of absurdity, but this sense of absurdity was not directed at Jesse, but at himself...

The solemn life goal that he had made in his heart, the lifelong goal of moving into the inner city, the manly thought of protecting Jesse...

At this moment, all thoughts were completely shattered by Jesse's casual talking and laughing!

Think back to the time when I was full of ambition and fought with other gangs...

What mom and dad said are right... Getting ahead in a gang is simply a joke!

Chapter 149

Mom, I want to work hard!

"Mom...I won't go to the gang anymore...I want to find a job like Jesse..."

"Ok?"

Dolly showed a hint of surprise when she heard what her son suddenly said, but soon she showed a relieved smile.

Although I don't know what stimulated my son to suddenly say such words, it would be great if he could give up the gang and stop living a life of fighting all day long.

"Okay! Then learn to make clothes seriously. You are still too impatient now, so I can only let you cut the fabric. Sewing is still too difficult for you.

Hahaha ~ But there is no need to be discouraged. When I first learned it, this aspect was the most difficult to learn. After all, it is really troublesome to pinch such a small needle.

However, you can take it slow, and after using it more often, you will know how to control this little gadget."

As she spoke, Dolly held the slender sewing needle in her fingertips and moved it quickly across the cloth, sewing the cloth together tightly with surprising dexterity.

As a troll, the length of this standard sewing needle is not even as wide as Dolly's thumb, but this troll lady can still easily tame this tiny needle, and then she can move it freely on her fingertips.

Barrick looked at his mother's skillful operation, then looked at his own fingers that could hardly hold a sewing needle, and revealed a look of embarrassment.

This is totally making things difficult for him, troll. How on earth did my mom manage to hold such a thin needle so steadily with such thick fingers...

"Honey! I'm back!"

Just as Barrick was racking his brains over how to tame this thin sewing needle, Father Batum pushed open the curtain of the shack and walked into the house.

He put down the bag in his hand, which contained the vermicelli and big-leaf potato cakes he had bought, and smiled as he shared his experience today: "Alas, today I met that blood clan brother again.

That brother is really rich now. He became a servant in the home of a big monster in the inner city. He is rich and has a strong backer. Today he even invited me to have a drink.

If it weren't for those gang members who showed up to cause trouble, we would have enjoyed drinking so much..."

Then he complained in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Speaking of gang members, I get angry. That group of gang members went to the food store to block people again. Those little bastards are really getting more and more rampant..."

It sounded like just a casual complaint and dissatisfaction, but the look in his eyes was fixed on Barrick, so naturally everyone in the family could hear that he was making a veiled complaint.

Mother Dolly waved her hands speechlessly and said, "That's enough. You come back every day with nothing nice to say. Why do you care about those people? Barrick doesn't plan to continue working with the gang. There's no need to criticize him all the time."

Hearing this, Batum's face suddenly lit up, and he asked in disbelief, "Is this true? Hey, you little brat, have you finally gotten the idea?"

As he spoke, Batum patted the back of Barrick's head, and at the end he did not forget to touch his head.

Barrick was obviously quite resistant to his father's pat on the head. He waved his hand to push away his father's hand that was touching his head, and then continued to pull with Needle silently.

Dolly at the side also shook her head and whispered, "It's enough for this kid to be sensible. There's no need to ask questions. Wait until I teach him how to sew. Then he will have a skill when he applies for a job.

But you... By the way, did you just say that you went out for a drink with that vampire friend?"

When it comes to drinking, Batum immediately feels the expression on his wife's face darken, which makes him sweat profusely and quickly defend himself.

"No, no, no! Honey, listen to my explanation! I didn't want to go there on my own! It was just that vampire brother who was so kind to me! I couldn't beat him!

Moreover, I was quite restrained in there, and I didn't drink much. And didn't I just say that I was disturbed by gang members before I could even take a few sips?

I really didn’t drink much! Believe me, honey! "

Looking at Batum's panicked expression, Dolly rolled her eyes speechlessly. Knowing her husband well, Dolly could conclude that this guy must have drunk a lot.

However, seeing that the guy didn't seem drunk, Dolly didn't bother to say anything. After all, it was hard to tell how drunk the guy was just by looking at his red face.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to say anything to you... But what's the situation with that vampire friend you mentioned?"

"He~" Batum grinned and said, "He's a pretty good vampire. Although I've met him a few times, I can feel that he's a real person.

He had just come to the Demon King's Castle from the vampire territory and didn't know many of the rules. But he was lucky. His wife's sister worked as a maid in a big monster's house and helped him find a good backer.

That big monster is really powerful, even Mrs. Susi, who manages a bunch of succubi, has to give him face~"

"Mrs. Susie has to give me face?"

Listening to her husband chatting, Dolly's expression was quite surprised. After all, for a group of ordinary people like them, a local monster like Mrs. Susie was already the highest level monster they could come into contact with.

What level of monster must be able to make Mrs. Susie give face to a servant?

Of course, there are many monsters that meet these conditions, but Dolly cannot come into contact with most of them, let alone know them.

As for the monsters that Dolly can recognize and even contact, probably only big monsters like the Demon Lord and the Demon King have this ability.

Thinking of this, Dolly couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and a hint of envy emerged in her heart. She couldn't help but be envious. Looking at the people around her, they either lived a good life relying on their own abilities, or relied on luck to get a good backer.

With this comparison, I am sure I will feel a little unbalanced.

However, it's just envy. Under the influence of her kind-hearted husband, Dolly has gradually learned to be content with what she has.

If this happened before she got married, if she saw someone living a better life than herself, she would definitely draw a small circle in her heart and curse them. After all, her pursuit in this life is to strive to be the best and surpass others.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have competed with a group of imps as a troll to learn needlework, in which she was inherently weak, and even defeated them all.

Moreover, the reason why she was attracted to Batum was not because of his personality or appearance, but because of this guy's powerful strength.

She thought that this guy was so strong that he would definitely make a name for himself in the outer city area in the future. By following Batum, she could become a top player in the outer city area.

But the facts were completely opposite to what Dolly had expected. This troll with such a powerful fist, who was invincible in the East District, did not want to develop his own power and only wanted to work as a farmer?

To Dolly at the time, this was completely unreasonable. She wanted to persuade this troll, who was obviously super powerful but overly honest, to be a little less honest.

However, Dolly discovered that this strong man was extremely averse to fighting and only thought about farming. And beneath his strong and rough appearance, he had a surprisingly gentle heart.

When the big-leafed sweet potato sprouted tender leaves, this rough man would pick a tender leaf that looked most like a heart and give it to her, to clumsily express his love for her...

Over time, Dolly did not influence this kind-hearted man by herself. On the contrary, this kind-hearted man's magnanimity and gentleness towards life and survival influenced Dolly.

Gradually, Dolly suddenly discovered that being married to this troll man, although not meeting her initial expectations, exceeded her expectations on another level...

Does Dolly love Batum? At first... maybe not, but now... yes.

"Hey, wife, what are you daydreaming about?"

Just when Dolly was lost in thought, Batum greeted her and brought her back from her thoughts.

"Ah... nothing, just thinking about something..."

Dolly came back to her senses and recalled the topic they were talking about. After thinking for a while, she seriously suggested to Batum: "What do you think of your relationship with your vampire friend?"

"Ah? And the vampire brother, I think he's a close friend. Look, these vermicelli in the bag were bought by him. He's a nice guy."

"Well... in that case, you can make more friends with him in the future. A friend like this who has a big monster as a backer may be able to help us a lot in the future, for example..."
