Mo Xiaoyan had finished cooking the vegetables and meat porridge. After scooping two bowls, she and Mo Xiaoxia carried each of them out.

”Old grandpa, you guys can drink some porridge first. There's still some left in the pot after you finish drinking it. I'll fill it up for you guys later.” Mo Xiaoyan placed the porridge in front of the old man.

”Thank you, little girl.” The old man said gratefully.

”Right, what's the name of this child?” Mo Xiaoyan asked.

”This sister, I am Li Zhuo, my family calls me Zhuo Er.” Zhuo Er said obediently.

”Zhuo Er, are you people from Beijing?” Mo Xiaoyan asked.

”No, we came here from the wilderness.” Zhuo Er drank a mouthful of porridge and replied.

”Escape? What's happening over there? ” Mo Xiaoyan sat down, wanting to hear what was going on.

”Sigh, it's been a long time since it rained there. The crops in the fields are all gone, and we can't even eat our fill. That's why we came to the capital.” The old man sighed and said.

”Does the imperial government not care?” Mo Xiaoyan asked.

”I heard that the imperial government sent people to transport a lot of food, but they were all secretly stashed away by those corrupt officials. We commoners don't have anything.” The old man said helplessly.

”These corrupt officials! Didn't any of you go looking for that corrupt official? ” Mo Xiaoyan felt that those greedy officials were simply too despicable.

All of us went to look, but we were given a little food, not even able to eat for three days before it was gone. There was still a lot of food, and it was all taken away by that dog official. The old man sounded sad.

”My parents have also lost track of us on the way. I don't even know where they are now.” Zhuo Er said as he choked with sobs at the side.

”Zhuo Er is not afraid. One day, your entire family will be reunited.” Mo Xiaoyan consoled.

”Xiaoyan, I'm done. Bring this old grandpa to the medicine store to see a doctor.” Mo Linyu walked over and said.

”Alright, Big Brother, bring this old grandpa to a better medicine store and find a good doctor for him to take a look.” Mo Xiaoyan felt that this person had aged and could not be sloppy even if he was sick. He still had such a child with him.

”Mm, of course I know that. Old grandpa, let's go now, I'll take you to see a doctor.” Mo Linyu stood beside the old man and said.

”There's no need to see a doctor. I've just caught a bit of a cold, so I'm fine.” The old man did not want Mo Xiaoyan's family to spend more money on him, it was already not bad for him to eat a full meal. If he had them spend more money to bring him to the doctor, she would definitely feel very bad.

”Old grandpa, you have to go take a look, it's not for anything else. Look at Zhuo Er, he's still so young, you should be able to take care of Zhuo Er once you're well.” Mo Xiaoyan advised from the side.

”Yeah, come with me quickly.” Mo Linyu said.

”But I can't let you spend any more silver like this. I feel very bad about it.” The old man was very hesitant.
