The places where the urban poor gather in the northwest corner of St. Petersburg, the chaotic craftsman streets, grocery markets, etc., are all here.
The small manor that Una bought for Layla’s parents is close to this area.
As Ed and Emma, the entire Holy City is probably the only area, which allows them to live comfortably and safely.
Although the Holy City has always claimed to be a non-war place, it is not uncommon for the Helians to beat the Matimes and the Matimes to bully the Potene. The Holy See’s attitude towards this is that as long as no one is killed, just pretend that he has not seen it. The Matimes or Poten, who suffered misfortune, would consciously not make any statement.
After Layla’s parents moved to this small manor, they stayed away most of the time – the two old men Poteen who had lived in Bishui Farm all their lives, would unconsciously tremble and sweat all over whenever they went to a crowded place, or even when they saw a strange Matime man.
After spending the first terrifying life, Miss Matim, named Unna, brought an old man and a baby into their lives. From then on, this small manor crowded between the downtowns was no longer deserted.
Emma liked the child of Poteen just six or seven months old, especially when she thought of his life experience, she was mixed with a simple sympathy in this love.
When they were at Bishui Farm, they also saw such things – men were taken away by monsters that escaped the net, and women ran away. The children left behind were able to be taken over by neighbors to have a few full meals, but after a long time, or in spring and summer, each family had to count the quota balance and calculate whether they could reach the autumn harvest. Children without fathers and mothers would most likely starve to death.
Close your eyes, Emma seemed to be able to see the child who was hungry and had only a handful of bones left, but was bulging with her belly due to bloating.
In fact, when Layla was still young, Ed had an illness. If he hadn’t survived, Layla would probably end up like this.
This cannot be blamed for anyone – it is thankful that I can raise my own children at Bishui Farm, so I have no more energy to save others.
However, the situation is different now.
The situation is completely different now.
Ed and Emma live a better life now than the farm manager, better than… Well, for Ed and Emma, when they think of luxury life, the boldest comparison partner is just the farm manager – you must know that their gnolls can eat food.
So, although Emma’s first reaction when she saw the poor child brought by Miss Una was how long it was before the autumn harvest, it took only a short time to realize that autumn harvest and other things were no problem at all.
Daughter Layla is nowHowever, he was already a top-notch person, Ed even secretly told Emma that Layla had eaten at the same table with that Master Helian!
Yes, I no longer have to consider the autumn harvest or the surplus grain.
They can support this poor child.
As for the old man, that is, the child’s grandmother, Emma was not so polite – she felt that if she was so old, she would be embarrassed to continue living.
Yes, although Miss Una left a lot of magic crystals for them when she bought the manor for them, Emma and Ed still plowed the grass in the manor and planted dense beans. In a few more months, these beans will be harvested – at that time, no bean has to be paid to the farm manager. Thinking of this, Ed and Emma will laugh in their sleep.
Now, it has been more than four months since they took in that child.
Little Kuka, who just turned one year old, was very strongly fed by the cheese and bread that Layla brought every now and then. She could already wave her chubby arms and stumble in the bean field.
Little Kuka’s grandmother also gradually improved after eating a few full meals.
Finally, after watering the beans with Emma and removing weeds, the poor old man was also recognized by Emma and was no longer considered a useless person who only knows how to eat.
Although they are still afraid of the people and the environment outside the manor, their lives are getting better, regardless of Ed and Emma, Little Kuka and his grandmother.
Until one day, a woman knocked on the door of the manor.
There was no servant in the manor, it was the door opened by Emma herself. After opening the door, she saw a Pothan woman. By Emma’s standards, this woman looked pretty good.
“Who are you looking for?” Seeing that the other party was also a Potene, Emma was no longer so nervous.
