My Waste Husband novel Chapter 1252

Jacindo released a loud roar. This sound transmitted out through his aura, shaking up some of the weaker cultivators' eardrums until they felt pain.

Many pairs of eyes turned to look at the spot where Jacindo was standing.

Looking at Henry not far away, Jacindo shouted again, "Syl, now that you owe our Chu Family's food, you should pay it back!"

"Jacindo, what do you mean?" Trahern, who was beside Henry, scolded loudly. Although the Chu Family had a lot of forces, Trahern had the grain in his hand and had the City Lord's Mansion as his backing. Trahern was not afraid of the Chu Family at all.

"What do I mean?" Jacindo snorted, "This man surnamed Zhang ate a lot of our Chu Family's food when he lived in our house. He ate at the market price, and he ate at least 1000 kilograms of food!"

Jacindo opened his palm and raised a finger.

Inside the Chu Family's compound.

Although Placido did not go to collect the food, his mind had always been on the matter of collecting the food.

Placido's hands were behind his back as he paced back and forth in the courtyard of the Chu Family. From time to time, he would glance out of the courtyard to see what the outcome of receiving the food was.

"Master! Master!"

A voice filled with pleasant surprise rang out.

Placido quickly turned to look, only to see Cayetano running quickly towards the courtyard.

Cayetano was not Placido's personal disciple. He had only entered the Chu Family early. Cayetano had always been kind to others and everyone addressed him as Senior Brother. However, Cayetano's talent was mediocre, so he had no position in the Chu Family.

When Placido saw Cayetano running over empty-handed, he immediately asked, "Where's the food you've gotten?"

Cayetano ran up to Placido and took two ragged breaths. Considering that he had just entered the Qi- concentrating Realm, the way he was acting was enough to show how anxious he was on the road.

Cayetano shook his head and said, "Master, there are too many people. It is very difficult to get the grain given today. More than half of our Chu

Family did not get the grain. Only a small part got it. Each person can only get half a kilogram."

Placido's brows furrowed.

Cayetano laughed and said, "Master, don't worry. Although we couldn't get the food, there's something good."

"A good thing? What kind of good thing?" Placido was puzzled.

"It's Brother Syl." Cayetano did not keep him guessing. "Brother Syl just found me. He said that since he came here for the first time, he would like to thank our Chu Family for giving him a place to stay and food. So, he specially sent five thousand kilograms of rice to repay our Chu Family's kindness."

"Five thousand!" Placido's heart skipped a beat, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. "Did I hear wrongly? Five thousand?"

"Yes, absolutely right." Cayetano nodded with certainty.

However, Placido quickly frowned again. "Is what Syl said true? He doesn't owe our Chu family that much. In this situation, 5000 kilograms of rice is not a small number."

"Master, I don't think Brother Syl has any reason to lie to me." Cayetano said, "He just told me to arrange for people to collect rice, so I hurried back to find you. Master, why don't we call Brother Syl back? I think that Brother Jacindo might have misunderstood. Brother Syl couldn't have been arranged by Eastern City. Moreover, he didn't go to Eastern City, but was with a bounty hunter."

Placido's heart was full of bitterness, but he couldn't say it out loud. He could only say, "Let's talk about it later. Call everyone back first, and then we can get a cart to draw rice!"
