Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Chapter 89: Giving Porridge to Save People

In the prosperous capital, a sudden disaster has put the people in a difficult situation. Refugees from nearby areas continue to pour into the capital, bringing endless chaos and unrest to the city. In the Yi Ya House of Changchun Garden, a heated discussion on how to help these refugees is unfolding.

Yi Ya sat on the couch in the room, frowning, obviously worried about the refugees outside the city. Nanny Wang hurried into the room, with a hint of urgency in her voice: "Master, do you know? Recently, many refugees have appeared near the capital, and the city is in chaos."

Yi Ya nodded and motioned for Nanny Wang to continue. Nanny Wang continued, "The refugees are starving and cold, and many have fallen ill. If this continues, I'm afraid the situation will get worse."

Nanny Su also said worriedly, "Yes, it hasn't rained for a long time, and the crops have dried up. The people have nothing to eat and can only flee everywhere. If this continues, the capital will be in danger."

Bai Zhu was silent for a moment, then said worriedly, "I also heard that the soldiers guarding the city are exhausted. I don't know how long they can hold out. If the refugees really pour into the capital, the consequences will be disastrous."

Fu Liu had been silent, but now he couldn't help but speak up: "What can we do? We can't just watch those refugees suffer."

Yi Ya looked at the anxious expressions of the crowd, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that at this time, they needed to unite as one and work together to find a way out for the capital and the refugees. She took a deep breath and said firmly: "Why don't we prepare some food and medicinal materials and go outside the city to help those refugees ourselves."

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up and they thought this was a feasible plan. Nanny Wang immediately stood up and said, "I'll go prepare some easy-to-carry food and water."

Nanny Su also quickly agreed, "I'll go prepare some commonly used medicinal herbs. If any refugees get sick, we can treat them in time."

Bai Zhu and Fu Liu also expressed their willingness to go together and provide the refugees with the best possible help. Yi Ya looked at the busy figures of the people and her heart was filled with hope. She knew that with their joint efforts, this disaster would eventually pass, and the capital and the refugees would usher in new hope.

In the spacious courtyard of the Third Prince in Changchun Garden, the sun was shining obliquely and the breeze was blowing gently. When the Third Lady Dong E heard that Yi Ya was going to distribute porridge outside the city, she was moved and thought that it would be her blessing to be able to help the refugees outside the city. So, she took a few maids and walked briskly to Yi Ya's residence.

Yi Ya was busy sorting out the items needed for the porridge distribution in the house. When she heard the servant's announcement, she hurried out to greet them. The two of them exchanged greetings. Dong E smiled and said, "Fourth brother's wife, I heard that you are going to distribute porridge outside the city. I admire you very much. I also want to do my part for those refugees, so I specially prepared some food. I hope you can bring it to the people outside the city."

Yi Ya was immediately grateful when she heard this. She was just worried that there were not enough people to help her, but she did not expect that Dong E would come to her door. She warmly shook Dong E's hand and said, "Third sister-in-law, thank you so much! I was just worried that there was no help, and you came. I wonder if you are willing to go with me to the city to distribute porridge? With you here, we will be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

Dong E was a little hesitant after hearing what Yi Ya said. Although she wanted to help the refugees, she was a little worried when she thought about the possible environment and conditions outside the city. However, under Yi Ya's warm invitation and persuasion, she finally nodded: "Okay, I am willing to go with you. But I have never done such a thing. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."

Yi Ya was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly said, "Third sister-in-law is too polite! Let's go together and take care of each other, and we will definitely be able to complete this porridge distribution smoothly. Then it's settled, how about we set off early tomorrow morning?"

Dong E nodded: "Okay, I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

After the two agreed on a time, Dong E left Yi Ya's residence with her maids. She was full of expectations and determination, knowing that this trip out of the city would be an unforgettable experience. Yi Ya was also very pleased and happy, knowing that with Dong E's participation, this porridge distribution activity would be smoother and more meaningful. In the afterglow of the sunset, the two walked away, but the kindness of helping the people take root in their hearts.

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Yi Ya, Dong E and their followers had gathered together, ready to set off. Their faces were full of determination and hope, and what they carried in their hands and on their backs were all supplies and food prepared for the refugees outside the city.

When the group walked out of the city, the scene before them made them feel heartbroken. The refugees were ragged, pale and thin, and many of them were sick and weak. Yi Ya immediately ordered: "Quick, set up the tent and prepare to distribute porridge!"

Everyone acted quickly, and soon a simple but rainproof shed was built. At the same time, the doctors who came with them began to treat the sick refugees.

Bai Zhu and Nanny Wang began to guide the refugees to line up in an orderly manner. Their voices were gentle but firm: "Please line up and don't crowd. Everyone will have a share." Nanny Su brought Fu Liu and followed closely behind the doctor to provide assistance to those refugees who needed treatment.

For a while, the whole place was busy and orderly. Those who provided porridge, treated the sick, and maintained order did their best, hoping to bring a little warmth and hope to these refugees.

"Thank you, thank you!" said an old lady who received the food excitedly.

"You're welcome. We're just doing our little bit." Yi Ya replied with a smile.

Another ragged old man took the bowl of hot porridge tremblingly, tears in his eyes: "Thank you, kind people, we haven't eaten such hot food for a long time."

Yi Ya smiled and responded: "Old man, you're welcome. This is what we should do. As long as we work together, I believe things will get better."

Seeing the smiles on the refugees' faces and listening to their words of gratitude, Yi Ya and the others were filled with satisfaction and relief. They knew that all their efforts were worth it.

In this way, everyone was busy all day. Although they were tired, their hearts were filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment. When night fell, the refugees gradually dispersed, and Yi Ya and others began to pack up and prepare to return.

On the way back, Yi Ya said to Dong E: "Today, I deeply experienced what true kindness and compassion are. Looking at those refugees, I couldn't just turn a blind eye. I think this may be what we should do for them."

Dong E nodded: "Yes, today I saw your courage and determination, and I also saw everyone's kindness and dedication. I believe that as long as we work together, everything will be fine."
