Chapter 322 Heir
Landon looked at Betty with a complicated expression. He really wanted to know why a five-year-old child would think of a way to make money by doing a performance on the street.
That was not all….
“Betty, whose chest should I place this huge rock on?”
Landon said with an extremely solemn expression.
Betty did not even blink. “Of course it’s on Mr. Wright’s chest!”
“Mr. Wright, look how big that stone is. I’m not as tall as you, so we can only put the rock on your chest.”
Landon pictured himself lying on the street with a big rack on his chest….
He silently glanced at the huge rock and coughed dryly. “Betty, you can see I’m not strong enough, right? That rock is so big. I’m afraid it won’t work.”
Betty said, “It’s alright. Let’s switch to a brick!”
Then, Betty ran to the corner on the other side and carried a brick back.
Landon was speechless.
He was the leader of the Liberals. “Am I going to lie on the ground and do performance on the street?” he thought.
He felt that this was definitely not possible!
Betty asked solemnly, “Mr. Wright, what are we having for lunch?”
Landon thought about it. The rice and noodles tanks at home seemed to be empty.
Five minutes later, Landon lay on the street.
A few bricks were placed on his chest.
Hector and the others stood in the crowd. When they saw this scene, they were dumbfounded.
A moment later, they walked over and shouted, “Hello folks, I don’t know where you come from or where you’re headed. I don’t know if you’re rich or poor. But please give me a moment as I perform a show for you, which is my family treasure. It’s called breaking boulders with your chest…”
Landon’s face darkened. “Family treasure?”
“Shameless things!” he cursed secretly.
Gradually, many people gathered over.
However, what attracted them was not the act of breaking boulders with one’s chest, but the fact that Betty was too cute.
“That little girl is so cute.”
“What a pity. She has to make a living for the family at such a young age. I really feel sorry for her.”
“I’m really too poor. If I weren’t so poor, I would really give this young lady a dollar.”
No one paid.
However, a few people still went forward and stuffed a few steamed buns and pancakes into Betty’s arms.
Betty raised her hammer and looked at the steamed buns and pancakes in her arms in a daze.
Half an hour later, in Landon’s house, Hector and the others were munching on the steamed buns and pancakes that Betty had exchanged for cuteness. Landon sat at the side and looked at them with a dark expression.
Hector sighed. “Father, that bastard Julian is too ruthless. He really doesn’t give us any way out. If this continues, we’ll really starve to death!”
“Mr. Wright, let’s go somewhere else to make money tomorrow,” Betty suggested.
Landon said, “People in other places are also very poor.”
In any case, everyone in the slums was very poor.
“Mom said that we have to try to find out,” Betty said seriously.
Landon felt that what Betty said made sense.
Looking at the child’s sparkling eyes, Landon smiled and said to Hector and the others, “No matter how poor you are, you can’t starve the child. Go buy some food for the child.”
Hector left.
After a while, he returned with a bag of apples, a piece of meat, two handfuls of vegetables, and a bag of rice. The next day, Landon and Betty went to the outer area of the slums.
This place was extremely chaotic. It was a place that even the Liberals could not rule.
There were all kinds of people in the slums. Perhaps some beggar or passerby on the road was a spy of the Autocrats.
Hector and the others stood around Landon and Betty. Hector said, “Father, this place is too chaotic. We shouldn’t have brought Betty here.”
Landon smiled and lowered his head to look at the little child beside him. He asked, “Betty, are you afraid?” Betty looked around and realized that many people were looking at them with different expressions. Some of them were even holding shiny machetes.
Not far away, a woman was dragged away by several burly men to a hidden corner.
