Chapter 625 Jolly Meal
- Alongside the head of the village and his secretary, a few other families came for the meal as well. Although they got themselves some alcohol. John turned down their offer to drink, as he might need to be driving later, which managed to stop the villagers from persuading him to drink.
- Meanwhile, Sophia was shown to her seat, but her stomach was churning as soon as she smelled the aroma of the chicken dish. Considering the occasion, she decided she should push her queasiness down even though all she wanted to do was throw up.
- As soon as everybody had arrived, the feast began. The villagers were in a jolly mood while they chatted, telling John that they had been wanting to pave the roads, but with how poor and how few people they had, they never managed to gather up enough funds to do that. Going with the flow of the conversation, John suggested that the younger men in the village should head out in search of other jobs, as farming wouldn’t sustain them.
