Afterwards, he was reluctant to give up the mortgaged property, relying on his long life, and spent two hundred years to pay it back in installments. Of course, in name, the father died and the son took over, and the son died and the grandson took over.

Emlyn's evaluation of this is: very honest.

Backlund, North District, outside Saint Samuel Church.

The citizens lined up in several rows, and received food such as toast, dried mushrooms, and preserved fruits from the staff of the "Loen Fund for the Poor" one by one.

Their team extended from outside the church gate to the square, and circled several times. At a glance, they were densely packed with human heads.

Audrey stood on the steps behind Melissa, taking all this into her eyes.

She saw citizens with sallow faces and longing eyes; she saw mothers holding babies, coaxing them while anxiously examining the seemingly undiminished line in front of them; He lowered the brim of his hat and put on his veil, as if he didn't want the people around him to recognize who he was.

From time to time, some people did not want to obey the order, and they were dragged out by the pastors and policemen who helped maintain the procession, and were thrown to the end.

The food was sent out one by one, and the cloth bags piled up behind the long table dried up one by one, and then became empty.

Finally, all the food was distributed, but the long line was only half gone.

The citizens who failed to receive the relief showed mixed emotions of disappointment, frustration, reluctance, and begging uncontrollably, but they did not make any noise or dispute, and moved mechanically towards other food distribution points.

They have experienced this kind of thing too many times in the past one or two months, and they have long known that unnecessary emotional outbursts will only waste their own little physical strength, and they cannot quickly transfer to another relief point Or cheap food outlets.

At this moment, they left the square with numb expressions and slightly empty eyes, like groups of living corpses.

During this process, a woman who was holding a child lost her feet and fell to the ground.

Her child burst into tears immediately, with obvious pain in his voice.

Crying and crying, the child sobbed and said, "Mom, I'm so hungry..."

"There will be food soon, there will be food soon, there will be food in Memorial Day Square..." The woman picked up the child, patted him on the back, and shed tears as she spoke.

Witnessing this scene, Audrey was about to speak, but saw Melissa take out a piece of food from the wooden box under the long table, and trot towards the mother and child.

"I didn't see it just now, and there is another..." Melissa squatted down, handed out the bread, dried mushrooms, and preserved fruits in her hands, and then explained in a low voice, fearing that it would cause competition among the surrounding citizens.

The leftover food was actually prepared for the foundation staff who had been busy for a long time, and what Melissa sent was her own.

The woman took the food and handed it to the child while saying repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you..."

The child hugged the food tightly, and childishly followed his mother and said, "Thank you, thank you..."

Audrey glanced left and right subconsciously, and found that the pastors of the church, most of the police, and the "Nighthawks" who were secretly preparing for accidents among the citizens were all showing undisguised sympathy, pity, and sadness at this moment.

After the citizens basically left, Audrey picked up her share of food and handed it to Melissa: "You deserve it."

Melissa looked at Miss Hall in front of her, shook her head and said, "I'm giving my share.

"Miss Hall, don't worry, I will have food when I get home, my brother is a government employee..."

Audrey smiled and stuffed the toast, dried mushrooms and preserved fruit into Melissa's hands: "You don't have to worry about me, my family has been busy preparing desserts for me outside."

While speaking, she took a wooden box from Anne, the personal maid, and opened it for Melissa to see.

The wooden box contains delicately shaped cucumber sandwiches, cream muffins and small carrot cakes. JrNovels.com
