“Here, this is for you. After you wear it, you won’t have to worry about your shoes getting worn out when we play!
“Thank you, Brother Guise! Wow… Is this new?”
A group of children gathered in front of a refugee tent.
They all surrounded one of the boys. Each child’s eyes were more or less filled with envy and anticipation.
The reason for this could be seen from the child who received a brand new pair of socks.
His shoes had a few holes. Through the holes, one could see his bare toes from time to time. They were curled up because of the air leakage. There were some blisters on them. It was obvious that the soles of his shoes were about to rot.
The best way was to change into new shoes, but for the refugees in the gathering place, they could not even eat enough. How could they be so extravagant? Therefore, even if they got a pair of thick socks, the children would be extremely happy.
Moreover, the workmanship of the socks was not bad. One look and one could tell that they were brand new socks that had just been bought.
“Hmph, of course. I bought this with the pocket money my mother sent me from the city. Of course it’s new!”
“Really? Ji… Brother Guise’s mother is so powerful!”
Enjoying the admiring gazes, the little boy named “Guise” had a proud expression on his face.
After delivering the socks, Guise did not stop. Instead, he was like Santa Claus…
Here, these are the gloves I bought for you. Here, these are the ball toys you’ve always wanted. Here, these are…”
He saw Guise constantly taking out all kinds of things from his tent. Although they were not expensive, at least in the eyes of the children, they were considered rare gadgets.
Every child who received a gift from Guise was very happy. Naturally, they also thanked Guise in various ways. They circled around Guise and shouted excitedly.
This made Guise leap to become the center of attention of this group of children.
” Uncle Thorin, this is…
Vivian was attracted by the children’s voices. The sharp-eyed little girl could tell at a glance that the gifts that Guise gave to the other children were all brand new.contemporary romance
Although it was not expensive, it should be difficult for a child, a child from a refugee gathering place, to take it out, right?
“This child is really…” Thorin shook his head.
Even he had some impression of Guise, and the reason was from this morning.
“Early in the morning, when the sky was still slightly bright, someone from
Fire Code City came to look for me. It seemed to be a very rich baron and a
servant of a large merchant association.”
” This servant told me that the young master of his family, the baron, is looking for a child. I don’t know what he looks like, and I don’t know what his parents know either. I only know that the child’s name is… Guise.”
Because of the baron’s relationship with us, we had no choice but to take it seriously. We put aside what we were doing and hurriedly checked the refugee registration list before helping the other party find this child.
“So he is…” Vivian nodded in understanding.
“Yes, after the servant of the noble chamber of commerce found Guise, he gave
this child a large sum of money. To be honest, even I was shocked by the amount!
“There are more than ten of them. Those aren’t copper coins and silver coins, but… Gold coins!”
Sorin sighed as he said this.
This was because if a copper coin was compared to a single coin and a silver coin was compared to ten coins, then a dozen gold coins would be equivalent to a thousand gold coins!
This was definitely a huge sum of money for the refugees who were penniless after the disaster, let alone in the hands of a child.
“That’s why I said that the nobles in the city have never considered, or perhaps, they have never imagined the situation of us refugees. Even if they were to send money, just gold coins, such a large sum of money would be in our children’s hands. Putting the danger aside, in our gathering place, I’m afraid that we can’t spend gold coins even if we want to.
“I really couldn’t stand it anymore, so I helped Guise change a portion of the gold coins into silver and copper coins. I also told him not to spend it recklessly and not to be too ostentatious, but who knew… Sigh, this child is really disobedient.”
Just as Vivian and Suo Lin were talking, the situation with the children suddenly changed.
There were groups among children, and it would be more accurate to say that children paid more attention to these things, such as popularity.
As the king of the children, he was very popular. However, the limelight was suddenly stolen by other children. It was not because of his own ability but because of external money. Naturally, he would be unhappy.
Henry looked at Guise, who was surrounded by the other children by giving gifts, with envy and jealousy.
Guise also noticed that the group of children around Henry was in the form of a man.
No, to be precise, it was the cute little girl beside Henry, Henry’s sister.
“Anna, this is a lollipop I specially bought for you. Try it. It’s very sweet. I heard that even the children in the city eat this!”
Guise handed a colorful round candy wrapped in candy paper to Henry’s sister, the cute little girl named Anna.
“Thank, thank you, Brother Guise!” Anna looked at the beautifully packaged lollipop and gulped a few times. Her big eyes were sparkling at a young age..
