Marshall was quite efficient. Since everything was settled, the group gathered, trying to set a date of departure.

Now nearly ten people were about to leave, and it caused an uproar in the village. Many people rushed to Katherine’s house, asking her what those people would do after they left for the city with her. Not to mention the men in the village, but the women were also trying to find a new way to fend for themselves, because everyone knew they had no future sitting around in such an obscure village.

However, it was impossible for Katherine to take the whole village away with her, so she could only pacify the rest villagers, telling them that if the first group of people was able to accommodate themselves to the city life, she would help more villagers find jobs in the city and see the world.

The village head also came, expressing his gratitude to Katherine for Marshall building a road in the village and helping the rural laborers earn a living. It was because of her that their lives took a favorable turn. Katherine, nonetheless, felt a little guilty because in fact, she didn’t help. The credit didn’t belong to her at all.

Before long, word got out, and Reuben naturally got wind of it, so he came to Katherine again.

He was still wearing the clothes he had worn last time, but he made himself tidy this time. However, one could tell at a glance that he was living a hard life.

When Reuben arrived, the villagers were still at Katherine’s. He approached the crowd with a smile. "Well well, everyone is here. What are you guys talking about?"

The boisterous crowd fell into dull silence the moment they saw Reuben.

Reuben, nevertheless, kept smiling as if he didn’t notice anything unusual with these people and went on, "I heard that Katherine is going to leave. You just arrived like, a few days ago, and you should stay longer. It’s not like you come back that often."

No one replied to him.
