Female Novel
Chapter 1828
However, such small houses would fit a single family in the slum.
Of course, it would be crowded for a family of three or even four to use such a small house. Even so, it
was already much better than the houses they used to live in!
Once the houses were built, they would be rented to the poor on a monthly basis. After five years of
rental, they could buy the house they were renting at a below-market price. Such a policy was a
blessing to the slum residents. Besides that, the poor had already found out about Sean's fundraising
for them, so his reputation in the slum was at an all-time high.
Sean and Zander had just arrived at the slum and were immediately surrounded by a large crowd of
poor people.
"Thank you, Commander Lennon. You saved us all!" An old lady nearly 60 years old said with tears of
gratitude.
"Commander Lennon, you're a saint. You're a kind man!"
"How wonderful is it that the slum has met a savior like you!"
Words of gratitude came from all directions and straight into Sean's ears.
Sean was a little overwhelmed for a moment. Although he had received similar welcomes before, such
as when he was honored for winning a war, nothing compared to this one.
Sean could see that the people before him were truly grateful to him.
They did not even bother to collect the food being distributed to thank him, which showed they really
meant it.
"Alright, alright, I got it. I understand how you feel. Don't worry. As long as I'm still in Dorodo, I'll make
life easier for everyone! Of course, I can't make you all rich, but I promise I can ensure that you don't
have to worry about food and health care. I'll ensure your children can go to school and that your
parents are taken care of during their old age."
Sean's statement instantly struck a chord with everyone in the room.
Many elderly even knelt and kowtowed to thank Sean.
Sean quickly helped the elderly kneeling before him to get up, but others immediately knelt. It took a
while for Sean to calm them down and get them back in line to collect the food.
Just then, a girl's voice rang suddenly. "Commander Lennon, it's you! You finally came!"
Sean and Zander turned their heads around together and saw a pure-looking and childish girl.
The girl was none other than Yvonne.
Yvonne also had a basket slung over her arm that contained what appeared to be vegetables.
Sean and Zander walked forward, and Yvonne happily came over with a basket on her arm.
"Commander Lennon, I knew you'd come again!" Yvonne said excitedly, her pretty cheeks turning red.
Sean nodded before pointing to the basket on Yvonne's arm and asked, "Did you pick these
vegetables?"
"Well, it's Dorodo's local vegetable called Sashakee. It tastes special. Would you like to try it?"
Yvonne said like she was trying to show off something.
"Yeah, I'll try it."
Sean pinched a piece of Sashakee and put it in his mouth. Then it filled his mouth with a bitter taste.
Did the poor people in the slum feed on this bitter vegetable?novelbin
