“Yes, I understand. Father should also take care. You’ve been busy with both sides recently, so remember to rest.” Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Mingting nodded affectionately.
To Wei Yichen and the others, Wei Mingtang had always been a strict and unsmiling father. But when facing Wei Ruo, he was much more loving.
Perhaps this daughter was particularly similar to him, which made him feel especially close, or maybe he carried many regrets and guilt toward her.
Seeing this, Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan did not bring up the previous matter again.
The family quietly finished their meal together.
After the meal, Wei Ruo didn’t stay for tea, instead excusing herself, saying she had something to do, and returned directly to Tingsong Garden.
Wei Mingting didn’t stay long either. He was quite busy and being able to have dinner with his family was already fortunate. He still had to go to the study room to deal with some matters.
Afterward, Wei Yichen, who was engrossed in reading, and Wei Yilin, who had recently become addicted to martial arts, both excused themselves.
Only Wei Qingwan remained. Seeing that there was no one else around, she asked Yun Shi, “Mother, about the porridge distribution…”
Yun Shi frowned and said, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll take the money from my dowry to support it.”
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan was unable to smile.
“But, Mother, that’s your dowry. How can your daughter use it?” Wei Qingwan said with a tinge of guilt.
“Mother’s dowry will eventually be yours and Ruo’er’s. And the money should be used wisely, so feel free to use it.” Yun Shi said.
As she spoke, she took Wei Qingwan's hand, gently patting the back of her hand. With a serious tone, she said, “Wanwan, do your best. Regardless of whether you can restore your reputation, you must do your part for the people of Xingshan County, as that is what your Father and the soldiers risk their lives to protect.”
Wei Qingwan nodded, “Mother, don’t worry. I will do my best.”
The next day, Wei Ruo and Xie Ying went to the West City Gate to distribute porridge as usual. They had prepared some pickled vegetables to accompany the porridge, making it more enjoyable.
Xie Ying leaned in close to Wei Ruo and whispered, “Ruo Ruo, I heard that Wei Qingwan and Qian Zhilan set up a stall at the North City Gate, trying to do what we’re doing!”
Wei Ruo smiled, “No matter what their motives are, the porridge is being distributed, and the disaster-affected people are genuinely receiving it. That’s a good thing.”
Xie Ying thought for a moment, “That’s true. We aren’t here for fame, so there’s no need to compete with them. As long as we can help people and allow more to get through this tough time, it’s enough!”
“That’s exactly it.”
Wei Ruo smiled and continued to work with Xie Ying.
After a busy morning distributing the porridge, Xie Jue arrived at the porridge shop with several carts of supplies.
“Little sister, Sister Wei!” Xie Jue called out to Xie Ying and Wei Ruo with a beaming smile.
“Brother, why did you come so late?” Xie Ying said with some disdain.
“My dear little sister, I’m already here as fast as I could. You have to know how scarce cotton clothes and blankets are nowadays. Thankfully, we have some from Mother’s estate and shop; otherwise, even with money, I wouldn’t know where to buy them!” Xie Jue explained innocently.
This sudden change in weather affected not just Xingshan County but everywhere, with disaster situations leading to food shortages, and cotton clothes and blankets were in high demand.
“Alright, alright. Wait for us to clean up here, and then we’ll go door to door to check the situation and deliver supplies to those in need.” Xie Ying said.
“Just a moment, I still have some things that haven’t arrived,” Wei Ruo said.
