I became a son-in-law in the United States
Chapter 79 A Cry from the Abyss
September has arrived in the blink of an eye, and it's time for the new school term to begin.
Jia is now a senior, which means she has only one year left in her college life.
According to the tradition of Boston wives, after completing this year of study, the female students would generally go home, get married, and then become wives and mothers.
Gia got married, but she didn't want to settle into a life of being a wife and mother too soon, so she only agreed to have sex with Luther and would talk about having children later.
On this sunny day, Benson had his servants wash the car early in the morning and park it in the yard.
"Hey, why isn't it the same one as before?" Luther asked curiously.
Benson smiled politely and explained, "Young Master Luther, the master said that now that you're the boss of the box office company, it's no longer appropriate for you to drive that Chevrolet, so he asked me to change it for you to this one."
Luther glanced at it briefly and found that it was a brand new Chrysler model, not very powerful, but it looked quite luxurious.
Although it can't compare to the cars of old Joseph and Mrs. Rose, it's not much worse than his brother-in-law's. Old Joseph really put his heart into it.
Please convey my gratitude to them.
"I will."
Luther then took Gia and the two got into the car together, while the butler and the others came up to arrange the luggage.
The car then started and drove through the streets of Brookline, heading towards the town of Wellesley.
Gia was in a good mood throughout the journey, letting the September breeze blow through her hair. She even reached out and pinched Luther's cheek.
"Okay, okay, stop fooling around, I'm driving."
Jia appears mature, independent, and strong, but after spending time with her, you realize that she's actually quite mischievous.
Especially in front of Luther, he always liked to act strangely, leaving people puzzled; pinching Luther's face was just one of them.
Upon hearing Luther's words, Jia shrank back in her chair, then exclaimed cheerfully, "Luther, I must say, this has been a truly enjoyable summer vacation!!"
Indeed, no one is busier than us.
Looking back on that summer of 1927, even Luther himself found it incredible.
In just a few dozen days, he not only adapted to the Kennedy family, but also released a movie, and his second movie is currently in preparation.
The last time I did this much in one summer vacation was after the college entrance exam...
The next moment, Jia sighed softly, "It's a pity I have to go back to school. I really don't want to be separated from you, Luther."
"And what about me?" Luther sighed inwardly.
Soon, the car drove through downtown Boston and then into the Austin area, where the previously bright and cheerful scenery suddenly changed.
Compared to last time, there were more homeless people on the streets this time, some of whom had their families with them. They were dressed in decent clothes and carrying luggage, and looked like respectable people.
The men and women all looked exhausted, their faces filled with sorrow. The children were panicked and had no idea what was happening. They could only follow their parents, wandering around aimlessly.
In this place, you can't just sleep in the park, you can't sleep on the ground in the square, and even living in a tree is a luxury, because these are all private spaces.
Being homeless is not just about not having a home; it means you are excluded from the system.
Those from the countryside are alright; at worst, they can go back to their hometowns and live with their parents. Although they don't earn much money, they have readily available food and other necessities, so they won't go hungry.
But those who have no land or farmhouses, those who have pawned everything to come to the city, have fallen straight into hell.
In some parts of Boston, it's even worse than hell, at least in hell there are no police or military officers chasing people away.
The two were driving when someone knocked on the window. Upon closer inspection, they saw a man holding a little girl, their faces almost touching the window.
Jia couldn't bear it, so she rolled down the window. The man said with a face full of gratitude:
"Madam, please have mercy... My little Lisa and I haven't eaten all day, and she's sick..."
Jia didn't say anything, just nodded, took out her small wallet, pulled out a banknote and handed it over.
The man took the money and expressed his gratitude profusely. Jia nodded, telling him not to take it to heart, and then the man turned and walked towards the store.
This money can buy food for a few days, so they won't go hungry, that's all.
Seeing this, even more people rushed over.
"Ma'am! I'm a dockworker, and I haven't had work for a month!"
"I'm a seamstress, and I haven't had any work in a long time."
"My boss went bankrupt, I lost my job, and now I have nowhere to go."
"I was evicted from my house, I was in debt, I was hungry, and I was homeless."
"I used to be a respectable person, but now I'm starving. Please have mercy on me, God bless you, beautiful lady."
Jia sighed, ultimately unable to bear closing the window, so she took out the money from her wallet and divided it up. After a while, she only had a few small bills left in her wallet.
She looked at Luther, her expression both tender and helpless: "Mr. Luther, my dear husband, I think I'm going to starve soon. You won't abandon me, will you?"
"Of course not, husband and wife should share joys and sorrows." After saying that, Luther handed over a large bill, which Gia accepted without hesitation.
She sighed and asked her husband with a worried expression:
"Luther, there's something I don't quite understand."
"you say....."
"Isn't America prosperous and powerful? Why are there more and more homeless people on the streets? Why are more and more people going hungry?"
Luther smiled and said, "National prosperity does not necessarily mean the people are wealthy. First, we must figure out whose country this is, and whose people it is?"
"Unfortunately, America today belongs to the wealthy, to the rich, and to Hollywood stars, but not to ordinary people..."
"This..." Jia's face also darkened, a shadow appearing in her bright expression.
She had no interest in politics, but she couldn't bear to see children go hungry; after all, what had they done wrong?
"Luther, I just want everyone to be well, to have a job, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so that their children don't go hungry, and so that they don't become homeless..."
"But Gia, do you know that this is an ideal that countless people can never achieve in their entire lives?"
Jia frowned slightly: "Are you saying that the prosperity is all fake?"
"I don't know if the current prosperity is real," Luther quickened his pace, trying to avoid passersby, and then sighed, "but everyone's bills are definitely real."
"In that case, who will be held responsible?" Jia asked.
"No one will be held responsible for this."
P.S.: Have a great weekend everyone!
