Chapter 390 Ordinary People's Dinner

Since it is already four o'clock in the afternoon, if we delay any longer, we will probably have dinner very late.

In addition, it is getting late, and the vendors selling ingredients may not still be open.

So Ms. Jenny quickly took Jessica to report to a priest in the church.

It means that you will have guests for dinner at home tonight and you may have to leave early.

Looking at Ms. Jenny with a sincere expression in front of him, the priest smiled slightly:

"As long as the work in your hands is completed, you can leave at any time."

After hearing this, Ms. Jenny said with gratitude:

"Thank you for your understanding and tolerance, Father, you are so kind."

After saying that, Ms. Jenny brought Jessica to Eros again and led him to the place where her family lived.

Behind them, the priest watched all this silently.

It wasn't until their backs completely disappeared at the door of the church that the priest turned to look at Father Arigado, who had walked up to him at some point and said:

"Isn't that the Night Watchman named Conan Doyle?"

"He seems to know the mother and daughter."

Father Arigado also looked away from the door of the church, nodded, and said without hiding anything:

"He introduced that mother and daughter into the church."

The priest who just started speaking had a hint of surprise in his eyes. It turned out to be like this.

After Father Arigado said those words, when he saw an attractive young woman coming into the church door from the corner of his eye, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and he stood up to greet her.

"Makabaka, I'm going to receive a devout believer first."

…

On the other side, Eros followed Ms. Jenny and Jessica through narrow alleys.

As I hurried on, I seemed to be afraid that the gentleman following behind me would be impatient.

For this reason, Ms. Jenny turned to Eros once after walking for a while and said:

"Almost there!"

In fact, Ms. Jenny did not lie. They did live not far from Youle Street.

After passing through a series of strange winding alleys along the way, Ms. Jenny and Eros finally stopped in front of a dilapidated hut that looked a bit old and had seriously peeling walls.

Looking at her house, Ms. Jenny showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Jessica on the side did not notice anything unusual about her mother. As soon as she arrived at the door, she shouted excitedly:

"Luke, Eric, Dad, Mom and I are back, and Mr. Doyle is visiting our house."

Hearing their sister's call, two boys who were even skinnier than Jessica quickly opened the door and rushed out.

However, after seeing Eros standing next to his sister, the expressions on the faces of the two little boys became visibly restrained.

Seeing her brothers come out empty-handed, Jessica suddenly became a little dissatisfied:

"Didn't I say that Mr. Doyle would come to our house as a guest?"

"Why did you come out empty-handed and why didn't you quickly bring out the stools?"

After hearing their sister's somewhat dissatisfied tone, Luke and Eric nodded a few times, then trotted back into the house.

And just as they ran back into the house, another figure appeared at the door of the room.

It was a middle-aged man. He was holding a cane with both hands and moving with difficulty.

Seeing the visitor, Jessica shouted excitedly: "Dad!"

Hearing his daughter's call, the middle-aged man's eyes showed a touch of softness. Then he looked at Eros and said in a somewhat stuttering tone:

"Yes...it's Mr. Doyle. Thank you for helping our family."

"There's not much we can do. We can only treat you to a dinner to express our gratitude. We also hope that Mr. Doyle will not find it unseemly."

Eros smiled. Just when he was about to be polite, he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know the name of the man in front of him.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man still had some sharp eyesight. After noticing the lag in Eros's expression, he immediately introduced himself to Eros:

"Mr. Doyle, just call me Nunn."

After listening to the self-introduction of the middle-aged man Nunn, Eros smiled slightly and said:

“It’s not that the higher the price, the more decent something is. I prefer the heart to the price.”

"What's more, you earned it through your own efforts."

"Really speaking, I only played less than one percent of the role."

At this time, the two little boys came out of the door holding a chair taller than them.

They moved the chair to Eros' side, feeling a little nervous. So much so that they stuttered a bit when they spoke:

"First...sir! Please sit down."

When Jessica on the side saw this, she was afraid that Mr. Doyle would think too much, so she quickly explained to Eros:

"The house is too narrow and there are piles of stuff everywhere. It would be very inconvenient to sit in it."

A flash of surprise flashed in Eros's eyes, and then he chuckled and said:

"It doesn't matter."

With that said, Eros sat down outside the house.

Everyone was relieved to see that Eros didn't mind.

Jenny on the other side saw this scene and winked at Jessica.

Jessica was a little confused, but she followed her mother into the room.

In the room, Jenny bent down and took a purse stuck to the bottom of the bed, counted out more than half of the pennies from it and handed it to Jessica.

Jessica looked at her mother in a daze.

Jenny looked at her daughter in front of her and whispered:

"You take this money to buy some white bread and a sausage. We can't let Mr. Doyle eat black bread with us, right?"

Jessica suddenly realized, nodded heavily, and then trotted out.

After hearing the noise coming from here, the neighbors around him poked their heads out of the door and looked around.

Those faces with sunken cheeks, like malnutrition, poked their turbid eyes in the direction of Eros.

One of them laughed and shouted: "Nun, is there a guest at home?"

As they spoke, they slowly moved out of the door.

When they were completely exposed outside the room, Eros was a little surprised to find that most of the people in front of him were actually people with limited mobility.

Seeing the surprise in Eros' eyes, Nunn explained:

"They used to work in freight companies, and those large items can cause accidents if they are not careful."

"When they were young, they didn't notice anything unusual, but when they got older, they found that it was inconvenient to move around."

"That's why they don't go to work now, but stay at home and make matches like us."

Eros suddenly realized, no wonder they are still staying at home at this time, it turns out that they are all inconvenient to move around.
