After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

As Mrs. Zheng and Xinghua walked along the way, they met many women who were carrying baskets like them.

Most of the people living nearby are poor. They have no income staying at home in this weather. If they catch a cold, it will be difficult to make ends meet even if all their family savings are gone.

Everyone walked and laughed as they went, guessing which family would donate what kind of grain this year and which family's steamed white flour buns were big and soft every year.

"Oh, it would be great if everything in the future could be like this year, with everyone in one place, and we wouldn't have to run around all the time..."

An old lady with wrinkles all over her face was hunched over. She was muttering to herself while moving her little feet very quickly, for fear of falling behind the others.

"Hey, Aunt Wei, you're going to get the steamed buns that people kindly give you, but you're too lazy to run?"

Someone thought that what the old woman said was a little rude, so he made a joke loudly.

Being able to get rice porridge and food for free, she would not dare to complain even if she was asked to run around the capital, let alone go out of the city to get them.

"What are you talking about, you damn girl?"

Aunt Wei looked around nervously. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with complicated expressions, she waved her hands and explained:

"I, an old woman, don't mean to be disrespectful. It's just that I'm old and can't run as fast as you young people. Last year, I broke my leg. By the time I got the rice porridge from the first family and went to the second family to get rice and flour, they had already given away all the alms and even closed their stalls into their houses. I felt sorry for me..."

As Aunt Wei was talking, she couldn't help but well up in tears when she thought of the sad things that happened last year.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to slow down their pace and wait for her to walk with them.

There is no other way. They are all neighbors and they see each other every day. The Wei family is indeed living a hard life. If she could get some food, her family would be able to have more meals.

Everyone was walking and talking noisily, and in the distance they heard some even noisier noises. They looked up and saw from afar that a number of simple wooden sheds had been built on the large open space in front of the Caishikou gate.

Xu Qinghe also brought Zhang Dazhui and a few others out to work. Together with the father and son of the Cui family, there were a total of eleven people from the Xu family.

First they built the wooden shed. It wasn't difficult and since they were all big men, they finished it quickly.

The next step was to set up the pots and stove. The Xu family brought two large pots for boiling medicine. The medicinal materials had been prepared long ago, and they started to boil the medicine quickly.

In order to facilitate those people whose homes were not convenient for them to come, the Xu family also prepared many packages of medicinal materials wrapped in oil paper. Those who were willing to go home and boil them could come and take a package home.

As expected, many yamen runners came to the yamen and were on patrol. If they saw someone who needed help, they would go over without saying a word.

Xu Qinghe took out the pills he had prepared at home and gave each of them a small bottle.

"If you feel unwell, sneezing, sore throat, fever, cough... you can take one pill three times a day, and you should be well in three days."

Xu Qinghe introduced it to everyone. The yamen runners were very happy. They held the small bottles in their hands and thanked Xu Qinghe repeatedly.

One person even poured one into his mouth right in front of Xu Qinghe, smacked it a few times and swallowed it.

"Master Xu gave me this medicine just in time. I caught a cold last night and started sneezing early in the morning. I also started to feel dizzy. This medicine just solved my urgent problem."

He bowed to Xu Qinghe to express his thanks, and Xu Qinghe bowed in return.

Those who were setting up the tent early in the morning were basically managers and the like. When they saw the pills Xu Qinghe took out, they wanted to come over to ask for them, but because they were not familiar with them and felt embarrassed, they had to give up.

Xu's tent was in the middle. He didn't recognize the person on his left, but the one on his right was an old acquaintance.

"Uncle Wang, is Prince Ning's Mansion also coming to distribute porridge?"

Xu Qinghe was very surprised to see the visitor and hurried over to greet him. While saying hello, he also introduced the father and son of the Cui family to them.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for saving my brother-in-law. Our family is very grateful to you."

Uncle Cui bowed to Butler Wang, his face looking very excited.

If he hadn't saved Xu Qinghe, his sister's family would have broken up.

She is a woman raising three children, and she doesn't know how difficult it is.

So Uncle Cui was truly grateful to Butler Wang.

"Hey, his uncle, why are you being so polite? This is our fate..."

Steward Wang directed the servants to quickly set up the shed. The Xu family only needed to watch the boiling of the medicine. Xu Qinghe left two people behind to watch, and the others went over to help.

"There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion this year, but fortunately everyone is safe and sound. The old lady has discussed with several ladies and decided to come here to give alms for a few days, just to accumulate merit for the old master and young master who have been fighting outside..."

Butler Wang and Xu Qinghe stood aside and watched. Butler Wang whispered to him about the welfare situation.

Of course, everyone knew these, but Butler Wang was afraid that Xu Qinghe had just arrived in the capital and had not heard of it, so he told him again.

Hearing him mention the master and the young master, Xu Qinghe felt a little uncomfortable.

Those two were his real brothers, and he didn't know when he would have the chance to come back and see them.

"It's just right that we live next to each other, so we can support each other if anything happens."

Putting his depressed mood under control, Xu Qinghe said to Butler Wang with a smile.

He believed that God had a vision and that his family had not done anything against the law and should not suffer the pain of separation from their loved ones.

In the past, they were thousands of miles apart, but he was able to come to Prince Ning’s Mansion. What would be impossible in the future?

Butler Wang patted Xu Qinghe's arm and fully agreed with what he said.

By the time they had set up the tent and started cooking the porridge, others had also started to make preparations.

When Xu Qinghe was free, he took a look around and found that everyone had prepared all kinds of things.

There are white rice and white flour, big white steamed buns, coarse grain steamed buns, but more are various kinds of multi-grain steamed buns.

He also saw a large basket of copper coins under a shed, and it was said that everyone could come and get two coins.

I didn't expect that there are so many kind-hearted people in the capital. If everyone can go door to door and give some away, it would be a great harvest.

When he came back from his walk, he found two young men standing in front of his shed, talking to Zhang Dazhui.

"Li Xiao, why are you here at this time?"

After not seeing him for a while, the child had actually grown taller and wasn't as skinny as before.
