Xia Daohua did not go to help the Wu family - many members of the Xia family had already gone.

Besides, she was just a young lady, unable to carry anything, and most importantly, she was not very familiar with the Wu family. Even if she reluctantly went to the scene, she would only cause more trouble.

Xia Daohua didn't like trouble, nor did she like to cause trouble to others, so she consciously did not go to the Wu family to help, but instead took on the task of taking care of the children.

She also took her aunt Xia Yujiao, and took Linghua, Zaohua, Liulang and other children with her to go to the street to buy snacks.

A Liu and Huaihua are smaller, but Xia Daohua really can't reach them.

If such a young child gets bumped or bruised, it’s no joke.

Besides, it’s hard to feel at ease taking such a young child out to eat outside.

So the family entrusted the two children to the care of their eldest aunt, Xia Xuejiao. Her eldest aunt had a good personality and was good at taking care of children.

She was not familiar with the Wu family, and she was very aware that she was a widow, so she didn't want to get involved in other people's happy event of building a house.

Xia Daohua took her aunt Xia Yujiao and the children to the street.

At this time, she already knew that the snack street that was attacked last time was the territory of Eunuch Wei's subordinates.

But since Eunuch Wei has already become one of our own, there is naturally nothing wrong with going to the snack street.

I treated the children to a few snacks: wonton noodles, mutton head meat, baked buns, roasted quail, crispy abalone and snails, ice bowls, and sugar paintings...

The children were eating with their mouths full of oil, and they were very happy and enjoyed themselves.

Their bellies were bloated and they were staggering from side to side, much like sparrows or chicks whose crops had become crooked after eating so much.

Xia Yujiao also showed a rare smile.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group slowly walked towards "Daohuaxiang" and took a stroll along the way, which was convenient for chatting and also helped digest the food.

When passing by Huichun Hall, I happened to see a female beggar lying at the door of Huichun Hall.

The beggar woman was unkempt, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, and her true appearance could not be seen. But from her figure, it was clear that she was an adult woman.

Still a pregnant woman.

Or, it could be a disease like ascites or schistosomiasis...

She was carrying a child on her back, also in ragged clothes, tied to her body with a strap, and there was another child about the same age as Liu Lang beside her.

Both children were very thin, with frail bodies that made them look light and airy. Their thin necks made their heads look unusually large and shaky.

The chin is very pointed, the eyes are large, and the eye sockets are very deep, with some sunken eyes.

The Huichuntang staff came out and chased them away: "Hey, hey, if you want to die, go somewhere else. Don't die here and delay our business! It's bad luck!"

The woman struggled to crawl twice, but could no longer struggle.

Xia Yujiao felt pity for the woman the moment she saw her, and the children were also a little sad.

Xia Daohua was a little confused.

Normally, a clinic like Huichuntang has to consider its reputation. Aren't they afraid of losing people's support and affecting their business by doing this?

After asking the people who were watching the fun nearby, I found out that this female beggar was not originally a beggar, but a refugee who fled famine with her husband's family and came to Jixiang County.

Besides the husband's relatives, the couple had three children. Besides the one on her back and the one standing beside her, there was also a daughter about fourteen years old.

The family arrived in Jixiang County, but at that time, County Magistrate Xie had not yet been convicted, so naturally there was no matter for County Magistrate Yang to settle the refugees.

Fortunately, there were not many refugees at that time, and some odd jobs could be found. Most people lived in shacks at the foot of the south city.

However, as more and more refugees gathered, chaos gradually set in. The woman's husband died in a fight.

After the woman's husband died, she gradually became pregnant.

She said the child was her husband's, but her husband's family didn't believe her. They occupied the shack she and her husband lived in, drove her and her two children out, and sold her eldest daughter.

The woman had two young children and was pregnant, and she was not a local, so naturally she couldn't find a job.

Unable to even support his family, Hukou gradually became a beggar.

At this time, the woman fell ill again. Her whole body felt like burning charcoal. She could not bear it any longer, so she thought of asking Huichuntang for some medicine, but was kicked out by the waiter.

Xia Daohua listened to the whole story from the old lady who was watching the fun and felt that there were many doubts. The old lady seemed to be hiding something.

But Xia Yujiao, with tears in her eyes, went to help the woman.

Xia Daohua hurriedly stopped her: "Aunt, please don't move. What if she's sick and can't move?"

Xia Yujiao hesitated for a moment, and Xia Daohua said hurriedly:

“Aunt, I’m not against you helping her.

You should go to Huichun Hall immediately and ask a doctor to check on this woman. We will pay for the consultation and medicine.

I heard that some patients cannot be moved.

You have to ask the doctor before you know if you can help her up. If you go up and help her up right away, you might end up doing more harm than good and make her condition worse."

Xia Yujiao was originally overwhelmed with emotions, but when she heard what Xia Daohua said, although she didn't know whether it was true or not, she listened to the advice, stopped, and entered Huichun Hall.

Xia Daohua walked closer to the pregnant woman and looked at her appearance.

His face was covered in mud, so it was hard to tell what his complexion was. His exposed hands were red and swollen, and I couldn't tell if it was frostbite or something else.

The two children's faces were covered with snot and tears, but their clothes, although very worn and ill-fitting, were washed clean.

It can be seen that this female beggar lying on the ground must have taken good care of her two children on a daily basis.

Xia Daohua was thinking when she suddenly heard a quarrel. Then, she saw the waiter from Huichuntang pushing Xia Yujiao out.

Xia Yujiao staggered twice and almost fell.

Xia Daohua was immediately enraged. She rushed forward to support Xia Yujiao and yelled at the waiter:

"Is there anything you can't talk about nicely? You're such a clueless brat, how dare you hit someone? Could it be that Huichuntang actually relies on beating people to heal illnesses?"

Xia Daohua spoke quickly and urgently, her voice rising in anger, but her words were clear. Someone in the crowd who had been watching the beggar started laughing, and soon everyone erupted in laughter, followed by clapping, cheering, booing, and whistling.

Huichuntang usually charges high prices for its medicines, and has always treated ordinary people and poor families badly. However, when these people are bullied, they often just cry or blush and become speechless.

This time they actually met someone who could quarrel, which made those onlookers excited.

The young man refused to accept the news and shouted, "Who dared her to scold our Doctor Zhu? Our Doctor Zhu has already said that he will not care about that bitch!"
