Chapter 373
the other side.

What happened to Ayesha was heart-wrenching.

First of all, she was lucky. Painful, tired and hungry, she was not taken away by a beggar after she passed out next to a sewage ditch in a slum, nor was she dragged away by a trafficker. A young man who found her took her away. Back home.

The young man's name is Lawn, a kind-hearted and honest boy next door. After he carried Ayesha back to his home, he was nagged by his mother for two full weeks.

"The family is already very difficult, and you still bring people home?"

"Lauen, you have four younger siblings, and they all need money to go to school!"

"Tell that woman to leave when she recovers from her injuries. Our family can't afford to support so many people!"

Lawn was so annoyed by the nagging, sometimes he couldn't help but answer a few words: "Mom, I make money in the factory, and my salary is enough to support several people."

With such a retort, my mother was even more furious, and yelled at her head and face: "Don't you want to starve your mother to death in order to support an outsider, you heartless thing! Mom raised you so big for nothing! "

Although Ayesha, who can speak standard and pure aristocratic language, can't understand most of these quarreling remote slang words, she can also see from those eyes that she is not welcomed by this family.

Fortunately, Lawn seemed to have a special affection for her. He would rather save his share, and let Ayesha eat better and more, and the wound heal faster.

Even though the synthetic food that Lawn had saved, Ayesha had a hard time swallowing it when she smelled the strange smell... But the family regarded it as a clean delicacy that they ate every time.

Never lived this kind of life.

The sleeping room is less than five square meters, not as big as the bed she sleeps in in her own palace, not to mention her boudoir of hundreds of square meters that looks like a small palace.

As for the current crib, she still has to squeeze in with her two little sisters.

Everyday items are cheap and of poor quality, making it difficult for her to adapt.

Most of the food is synthetic food, except for nutrition, taste, taste, shape, color...all of which made her frown, but in order to survive, she had to swallow it into her stomach, torturing her delicate stomach.

Apart from an old TV with a few channels, few high value appliances.

Why is this family so poor?
Ayesha was full of question marks, how could such a poor family exist in the interstellar era with highly developed productivity?
You must know that although there are similar slums in Wangduxing, after the vigorous reform of the father, the living conditions of the poor at the bottom have been greatly improved. The 80-square-meter welfare house allocated to him by the state, those who do not have a job can receive a monthly unemployment allowance sufficient to maintain their lives, and there is also a very cheap poor canteen, which tastes good... This has caused many poor people to have no motivation to work, Ayesha also questioned her father. This kind of reform is useless and will only make more people lazy.

"Ayesha, we are kings above us. Our legitimacy comes from the expectations of the people at the bottom. If we don't do these things, we will definitely be the first nobles to die in the future."

Now, during these days of living in Lawn's house, Ayesha finally has a deep understanding of what the so-called "expectation" is.

Because the people at the bottom have no hope at all!

Take the Lawn family as an example. There are seven members of the family, three adults and four children. Among them, Lawn and his father work in the factory. The cost of drinking a cup of tea in restaurants... This is the entire living expenses of this family.

The class is completely solidified, and only a very small number of people can achieve advancement through talent and hard work, but they are still blocked and discriminated against.

The gap was even so large that it had to rely on the alms of the upper-class nobles to make up for it.

But the upper-class nobles, why do they give charity to these lower-class poor?

What benefits can it bring?
What's more, if you give alms once, what if those bitches are greedy and want more?
Resources are limited. If 400 to [-] billion people on a planet live a life of living in castles, villas, flying cars, and buying private spaceships, a planet simply cannot bear this kind of consumption.

Only 1% of the nobles can enjoy 99% of the resources; 99% of the bottom can rob 1% of the resources.

Is this fair?

Certainly not fair.

It's just that when Ayesha was a noble princess, she didn't see it as a problem.

Now that she is at the bottom, after only living in Lawn's house for a few days, she understands why her father wants to carry out a series of reforms. The nobles have too many resources. It is impossible to maintain the stable situation of the kingdom for a long time.

But nobles, are you willing to donate that small part?
shook his head.

Totally impossible.

Unless there is a revolution from the bottom up.

And that would kill a lot of people and destroy countless resources.

This is an unbreakable knot and an unsolvable ultimate problem.

What's more, the main issue facing Ayesha now is how to survive, not save the people from suffering.

So after the injuries on her body were almost healed, Ayesha changed into that gorgeous and expensive dress, and went to the rich area to find a job.

Finding a job went very smoothly. In less than three days, Ayesha found a job as a waiter in a high-end restaurant, with a weekly salary of 5 bar points—one hundred times the weekly income of the Lawn family.

The reason is very simple. Ayesha is proficient in aristocratic etiquette, can speak fluent upper-class aristocratic language, coupled with her good appearance, she exudes a noble temperament from her bones... She found a job quite smoothly.

When Ayesha told the Lauen family the good news lightly, she looked at the shocked expressions of the family with some taste, and felt an inexplicable pleasure in her heart.

But seeing Lawn's head bowed deeply because of inferiority complex, Ayesha softened her heart, restrained the smile on her face, patted his hand and asked, "Lauen, aren't you happy for me? "

Lawn did not speak with a bitter face, but his mother hurriedly took her hand and laughed loudly: "Happy, happy, everyone is happy!"

That night, Lao En's mother kicked out the two little girls and made room for Ayesha to live in that bedroom alone.

And ever since Ayesha started working, Lawn has been out of shape, dazed, wandering, and accidentally pinched his hand by the machine because of an operation error.

After the factory gave him some compensation, he was fired, and the superior supervisor was very dissatisfied with his performance for a while... No matter how much Father Lawn begged for mercy, it was useless.

Ayesha knew the reason, and comforted Lawn several times, but the effect was not very good.

Until one day, Lawn looked into her eyes and asked very seriously: "Will you leave me?"

"I……"

Ayesha's heart was shocked, she didn't know how to answer, she didn't know how to face... This disparity was so great that there was no possible emotion.

The gap is simply too great.

Even if Ayesha has fallen to the bottom of the dust, it is impossible to let go of her airs of princess status.

And in the Kingdom of Sovereign, stories like the prince and Cinderella exist, but the story of the princess and the frog prince...is unheard of.

Because nobles can accept the innocence and kindness of low-level women, but they are unlikely to accept the honesty and simplicity of low-level men.

Perhaps seeing the meaning in Ayesha's eyes, the light in Lawn's eyes became even dimmer.

But not long after, Ayesha changed her mind.

It was a time when she was on her way off work, and a few idle hooligans, with greedy and longing eyes, stared at her who was leaving get off work alone.

The law and order in the slums is not good, and there are not many police forces. Although Ayesha ran desperately, she was still blocked in an alley.

"Help, help!"

Ayesha yelled desperately, but no one responded. She could only look at the hooligans, who were getting closer and closer to her with a smile, and she gradually felt desperate.

"Don't try to bully Ayesha! She is the woman I protect!"

A voice that surprised Ayesha came.

Lawn!

In a bloody battle, Lawn beat all the hooligans away at the cost of being seriously injured.

"Lauen, I will never leave you again!"

In the hospital, Ayesha realized that she was weak. Without a strong man to rely on, she couldn't protect herself at all.

Since then, Lawn's main job has been to take her to and from get off work.

Ayesha gave half of the income to Lawn's mother.

Although Lawn felt a bit offended by face, the low self-esteem and poverty had worn down the backbone of most people at the bottom.

Mother Lawn is also very happy. Every time she sees Ayesha, she has a smile on her face and tries her best to meet all her needs.

Ayesha became the center of the family.

But things... don't always go so smoothly.

The trouble was just beginning.

The son of a baron who came to the restaurant for consumption was shocked when he saw Ayesha. He was deeply attracted by her temperament, and then launched a crazy pursuit.

Ayesha refused. Whether it was sending flowers or gifts, Ayesha refused to leave people thousands of miles away.

The son of the baron became furious and made a fuss. He slapped Ayesha hard, but just as he walked to the door of the restaurant, Lawn pounced on him and bit off half of his ear.

This matter was a big one, and the restaurant owner took a lot of effort to settle the matter... Out of a little sympathy, Ayesha hasn't been fired yet.

But after a while, after a real-valued viscount fell in love with Ayesha, who had outstanding temperament, Ayesha offered to resign that day.

In the next few months, Ayesha changed more than a dozen jobs in a row, but she was always found by the viscount. The viscount who said he was fascinated by her was even willing to divorce his wife Get Ayesha.

"I refuse, please don't disturb my work!" Ayesha said with disgust.

"Okay, okay! If I can't get your heart, I want to get your people!"

On this day, the Viscount, whose patience had finally run out, dropped his polite and gentle disguise, and brought a group of men over, intending to drag her away directly.

"Don't try to bully Ayesha!"

Lawn rushed over, but was beaten on the ground by several strong bodyguards.

"No, no!" Ayesha could only keep screaming.

"Bang! Bang!"

Suddenly there were two gunshots in the store.

A group of people wearing military uniforms who seemed to be elite soldiers surrounded the shop and controlled everyone.

"Viscount Garbreth, who gave you the courage to snatch the Lord Earl's fiancée?"

The words spoken by the man outside the door made Viscount Gabriel's knees go limp and he almost knelt on the ground.
