After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The woman who was called aunt looked at the person who came and didn't think she was a bad person.

"You are..."

"We are his classmates and studied together at Bailu Academy. I wrote him a letter some time ago, but he didn't reply. I happened to be in Sucheng, so I came to see him." Lin Wenxuan did not hide it.

The woman slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, this is incredible. I heard that all the students in Bailu Academy are scholars. You are also scholars."

Lin Wenxuan was anxious to find out about Ma Youdao and introduced their identities.

"You can call me Aunt Luo. There is a Taoist priest right behind. I will take you to see him." Aunt Luo enthusiastically led them to the Ma family and did not forget to talk to them.

"Thank you for your help, auntie." Lin Wenxuan said politely.

"It's not a big deal. I can also get some of the literary spirit from Wenquxing and have my little grandson pass the imperial examination to become a scholar in the future." Aunt Luo couldn't stop smiling when she thought of her one-year-old grandson.

Aunt Luo moved skillfully through the streets and alleys. Ye Qing looked at the surrounding courtyards, which had the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town.

"That's the family in front. You came at an unlucky time. Aunt Ma is sick and the family can hardly make ends meet." Aunt Luo looked regretful.

Lin Wenxuan was anxious. "Aunt Luo, what's going on? I heard in the academy that Aunt Ma is in good health and can still take on embroidery work."

Lin Wenxuan and Ma Youdao lived in the same room. They got along pretty well and had shared basic information about their family.

Aunt Luo didn't say much, as they had already arrived at the Ma family.

"Rui'er, is your elder brother at home? His classmates are here." Aunt Luo shouted twice while standing outside the yard.

At this time, a girl came out of the house. Her clothes were a little white from washing, but very clean and tidy.

"Aunt Luo, who's here? My brother is making medicine for my mother."

After Ma Rui finished speaking, she saw several people standing at the door. She could tell at a glance that the fabrics they were wearing were not cheap, and she was a little at a loss for a moment.

"Rui'er, why are you still standing there? Your brother's classmate, is your mother feeling better?" Aunt Luo saw that there were people at home and led them in.

Ma Rui finally reacted and stammered, "Come in, please."

After she finished speaking, she shouted "Brother" twice towards the backyard.

Ma Youdao listened to his sister calling, added two handfuls of firewood, patted the dust off his hands, and walked out.

Lin Wenxuan recognized the thin Ma Youdao at a glance and said, "Brother Youdao, how are you?"

Ma Youdao looked at Lin Wenxuan who suddenly appeared and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Wenxuan, why are you here?" Ma Youdao came over in surprise.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Aunt Luo again, "Aunt Luo, please come home and sit down. Thank you for sending them here."

Seeing that they really knew each other, Aunt Luo smiled brightly and said, "Aunt has something to do at home, so I won't go in. I'll leave first."

Ma Rui came out to see Aunt Luo out, but Aunt Luo didn't let her go and asked her to pour tea for the guests.

Lin Wenxuan introduced Ye Qing to Ma Youdao. He knew both Ye Chenyu and Ye Chenjing, so there was no need for them to introduce each other.

"Miss Ye, come in quickly. Everyone, please stop standing and sit down." Ma Youdao led the way.

Ye Qing followed his two brothers and walked into the house.

"Brother Youdao, how is my aunt's health? I heard from Aunt Luo that she has been feeling unwell these days." Lin Wenxuan was concerned about the elders in his family.

Ma Youdao's voice dropped a little, "My mother got caught in the rain that day and her old illness came back. She is now lying in bed."

"Let's go in and see Aunt. I just happened to bring some nourishing food with me. Let her try some." Ye Qing took the initiative to say.

Ma Youdao agreed. He went into the house first and said something to Aunt Ma, and then Ye Qing and the others entered the house.

The house is not big and must have been built several decades ago. It is very tidy and you can tell that the family members love cleanliness.

Aunt Ma was half leaning on the quilt, her hair combed meticulously and a smile on her face.

"My name is Ye Qing. I'm from Wu'an City. I'm sorry to have come here with my brother to cause trouble for you today." Ye Qing was a girl. She greeted Aunt Ma first.

Others also bowed to Aunt Ma and showed concern for her health.

Aunt Ma took Ye Qing's hand and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Good children, you have come all the way here to see me. I am very happy. You can stay in Sucheng for two more days and let Youdao accompany you around."

"Yes, there are several famous places in Sucheng. You can go and visit them when you come." Ma Youdao's face was still full of excitement about his good friends coming.

They talked for a while longer, and Aunt Ma looked tired.

"Aunt, please take a rest first, we'll go out and talk." Ye Qing said considerately.

Aunt Ma likes this little girl very much. She is pretty and has a good personality.

"Good children, let auntie take a rest and you guys play more." Aunt Ma was out of energy.

Lin Wenxuan and others got up and left the bedroom, following Ma Youdao to the main room.

They spoke much more quietly, fearing to disturb Aunt Ma's rest.

"Wenxuan, I received your letter, but I couldn't help you find an embroidery master because I couldn't leave home." Ma Youdao said apologetically.

Lin Wenxuan felt embarrassed, "I didn't know that my aunt was not feeling well. If I had known, I would not have written to you. Have you found a doctor for my aunt? What did the doctor say?"

Ma Youdao's face was somewhat miserable. "The doctor said my mother needs to take good medicine for half a year. She should take ten doses of medicine first, and then slowly take care of herself for another half a year."

Lin Wenxuan was anxious, "What are you waiting for? Go get some medicine for Auntie. She's already taken a few doses."

Ma Youdao didn't care that the Ye brothers were here, and rubbed his face with both hands, "I took five sets."

Ye Qing pulled Lin Wenxuan's sleeve, and Lin Wenxuan reacted.

Looking at the Ma family's financial situation, it was also average. Since it was said to be a good medicine, a dose would definitely not be cheap.

"Brother Ma, are you short of money? I have some in my hand. I'll lend it to you first. You can return it to me when you have more." Lin Wenxuan took out the banknotes from his pocket.

Ma Youdao looked at Lin Wenxuan gratefully. He knew that the Lin family was not a wealthy family, so he was too embarrassed to reach out to take it.

Ye Chenjing looked at Ma Youdao and felt anxious as he saw that he didn't move.

"Brother Ma, how much money do you still need? Is it not enough? I still have some here." After he said that, he also reached into his pocket.

Ma Youdao felt a little embarrassed, but thinking about his mother's health, he decided to put aside his pride.

"My mother still needs five prescriptions, which cost seventy-five taels of silver." Ma Youdao scratched his head uncomfortably.

Ma Rui came into the room carrying a few cups of tea. After hearing this, she looked at Lin Wenxuan expectantly.

Lin Wenxuan shrank his hand. He only brought fifty taels of silver with him today.

Ye Qing, who was sitting next to him, had already seen the silver note in his hand, and he had also seen the one in Ye Chenjing's hand. Together, they were still short of five taels of silver.

She had a lot of money on her, so she took out ten taels of silver from her pocket and handed them over.

Ye Chenyu forgot to bring money when he went out, and could only watch them pay awkwardly.
