My Waste Husband
Chapter 1251

Chapter 1251

The dissatisfaction of the Chu Family had risen. They couldn't even fill up their stomachs, but they had heard the news that Syl had made a lot of money every day. They immediately blamed it on Jacindo. This was human nature.

"Shh, keep your voice down. It'll be bad if someone hears us."

The person who spoke subconsciously looked back and saw that no one had noticed him. He breathed a sigh of relief and then said no more.

From the breakfast that the Chu Family had prepared today, it could be seen how hard the Chu Family had been living.

In the early morning, Henry stretched out and walked out of the room. Because of the demon beasts' invasion, the Treasure Pavilion stopped working. For Henry, his monotonous daily life could be changed a little.

Henry walked up and down the city.

Henry's residence was located in the inner city. As soon as he went out of the dividing line of the inner city, Henry saw that the street was full of people sleeping.

"My lord, I beg you. Please give me some, My

lord!"

There was a five- or- six- year- old child holding Henry's shank, his eyes full of pleading.

Henry was dressed in fine clothes, which was a sharp contrast to those outside who didn't have enough clothes to eat or sleep anywhere.

"Lord, please save my child. He hasn't eaten anything for two days." A woman in her thirties knelt in front of Henry and kept kowtowing. The woman's hands were cracked. Her mouth was dry, her face was pale, and her forehead was sweating. It could be seen that she was very weak.

When Henry saw the mother and son, he suddenly realized that it seemed like many years ago, in that winter, his mother begged for him so bitterly and only wanted to have a meal. That kind of life was bitter, but it was always warm in his heart.

Henry sighed, put his hand into his pocket, and grabbed a handful of gold coins. He was about to take them out, but after thinking for a while, he loosened most of the gold coins, leaving only one. Then he took it out and threw it to the woman in front of him.

Looking at the shining gold coin, the woman was stunned for a moment. The little boy beside her, however, quickly picked up the gold coin and kept kowtowing to Henry.

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord."

The corners of Henry's mouth were slightly lifted. In those days, when his mother saw the cotton- padded jacket and the banknote she was also stunned. Henry, as a child, also rushed up to get the cotton-padded jacket and money.

Henry did not give them too much. He was clear that if he gave them too much, it would cause harm to the mother and son.

Henry rubbed the child's head and said, "When you grow up, you have to treat your mother well, you know? Mother's love is the greatest in the world."

"Yes." The boy nodded. "When I grow up, I'll definitely become a powerful person."

"I believe you will." Henry smiled and then turned around.

Henry didn't want to go to the outer city. He knew that there were a lot of such mothers and sons in the outer city, who were even more miserable than them. Henry didn't want to see this.

The outer city was in a miserable state.

Looking at the inner city again, everyone was living in the same place as usual, singing and dancing every night. It was a feast for rich and powerful families.

"The smell of wine and meat wafted from the doors of the rich, while the poor died of cold and hunger in the streets."

Deep in the outer city, one could clearly feel the impact of the siege of the demonic beasts on the entire Eastern City, as well as the fear in the hearts of the people. However, in the inner city, they could not feel this at all. The people who were storing the food were preparing to sell the food at a higher price.

Henry was walking on the street in the inner city.

A team of soldiers rushed toward Henry.

"The demonic beasts are coming. Go back to your residence as soon as possible."

The officers and soldiers escorted Henry back to his residence.

Henry had just entered the room when he heard a loud shout coming from outside the yard.

"Demonic beasts are coming. Get ready to defend!"

A bird-type demonic beast appeared in the sky again.

Today's demonic beast attack was even more violent than yesterday's attack. Countless demonic beasts hovered in the sky, launching a diving attack, and were killed by the city defenders.

Today's attack lasted for an entire day. Only at dusk did someone come out to clean up the mess on the streets.

Henry had spent the whole day in his room.

As night fell, Trahern, who had been discussing with the City Lord's Mansion for the entire night, walked out of his room. Two beautiful women followed beside him, tidying up his messy clothes.

Trahern yawned and ordered, "All of you, follow me."

Henry walked out of the door. "Brother Cui, it's so late. Where are you going?"

"Sending out the grains." Trahern's face was full of displeasure. "Yesterday, the City Lord called all the people who had grains to the City Lord's Mansion. He promised us a bunch of benefits in order to get us to take out the grains. Two of them didn't agree, but they were bitten to death last night by the demonic beasts."

Henry understood what it meant to be bitten to death by demonic beasts.

"Brother, if you are bored, you can go out with me. Now life is worthless. If you like a girl, you can buy her for half a kilogram of grain," Trahern said, raising his eyebrows at Henry.

"Let's go and have a look." Henry took a deep breath.

The grain distribution was located at the border between the inner and outer city.

The people outside the city had already received news that they were going to distribute the grains tonight, and all of them had squeezed their way here.

Henry saw that many well- dressed merchants were walking toward the dividing line reluctantly like Trahern. Behind them, several of their men were pushing the carts and throwing bags of food.

There were officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order at the dividing line.

The Chu Family's people were squeezed into the crowd.

Jacindo wore a white gown, which made him seem otherworldly. However, his gown had turned into a flowery gown less than a minute after he squeezed into the crowd. All kinds of black handprints were printed on Jacindo's shirt.

With a look of disgust on his face, Jacindo looked at the people around him and kept shouting, "Get out of my way! You beggars, get out of my way!" "You're so noble, don't come and get your food!" "We are all stray dogs, but you are we still putting on an act?"

Jacindos words immediately drew the displeasure of a large group of people.

The Chu Family was not the only family present. With the exception of Placido and Ranjeet, everyone else had come out to receive their rations.

Nearly 30,000 people were in a dark crowd, making a lot of noise.

At the very beginning of the distribution of grain, almost everyone was madly rushing forward, wanting to take more food.

Henry looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little sad. In this world, no matter where it was, the strong preyed on the weak. In the flourishing age, there was not much difference, but in troubled times, the weak had to fight to survive.

This further reaffirmed Henry's determination to become a supreme expert.

In the crowd, Jacindo thought highly of his status and disdained to compete with others. By the time he arrived at the grain distribution area, today's food had already been distributed.

"It's gone, it's gone." The distributor was getting ready to go back.

"It's gone?" Jacindo glanced at the empty sack and suddenly saw Henry standing not far away.

He suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Syl! Return the food!"
