Yan Family’s carriage headed straight for the outskirts of Linyi County, without lingering too much in the city itself.

The county town was not very big, nor could it be considered wealthy. During this time, with Yan Wenkai leading the way, Daohua had already explored the county thoroughly, so she was quite well-behaved on the road.

However, once they left the city gate, Daohua couldn’t wait to lift the curtain of the carriage, eagerly observing the scenery outside.

It was now the end of October, and the weather had turned very cold. Once the curtain was lifted, the chilly wind blew into the carriage.

Madam Li, worried that Old Madam Yan and Daohua might catch a cold, quickly said, “Daohua, put down the curtain, be careful not to catch a chill.

Daohua, still with a sense of longing, obediently lowered the curtain. After all, getting sick in ancient times was not the same as now, where a few cold medicines could cure you.

However, sitting in the carriage without looking at the scenery outside was extremely boring, so Daohua had to make small talk to pass the time.

“Mother, does it snow in Linyi County?”

Madam Li smiled and nodded, “It does. In previous years, as soon as we enter November, it starts to snow lightly, and by December, there can be heavy

snow.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua became excited again, “That’s great, I’ve never seen a heavy snowfall before. If it snows heavily, I could even have a snowball fight with Third Brother and Fourth Brother.” _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

Yan Family¹ s village was to the south, and in winter, even if it snowed, as soon as it touched the ground, it would melt away immediately. She had been in ancient times for quite some time now and still had not had the chance to make a snowman.

Madam Li, however, shook her head, “I, on the other hand, hope there won’t be heavy snow this year.”

Daohua was taken aback and noticed that both Madam Li and Old Madam Yan looked somewhat solemn.

Old Madam Yan sighed, “If there’s heavy snow, the common people will have an even harder time, and those homeless refugees… who knows how many will die in the harsh winter?”

Daohua fell silent; she had only thought of playing before and forgot that this wasn’t modern times. Here, the methods of keeping warm were still very primitive and backward. In winter, especially during heavy snowfalls, many people would freeze to death.

“Mother, has father mentioned how the refugees are being settled? Madam Li shookher head, “The resettlement of refugees is not an easy task, and now that winter has arrived, it has become even more difficult.” Seeing Daohua frown deeply, Old Madam Yan smiled and said, “Alright, such matters are not for a child like you to worry about. Your father will handle them

well.”

Daohua nodded, not asking further, but the excitement she felt coming out to get some fresh air had disappeared, especially after seeing those refugees outside the carriage, walking toward the county town in their thin clothes.

“With so many refugees flocking to the county town, can father manage to settle them all?”

Madam Li replied, “Linyi County is still alright. Its location is quite remote, so many refugees cannot make it here.”

Looking at the refugees shivering in the cold wind, Daohua sighed, “Living is truly not easy.”

No sooner had she spoken than Old Madam Yan tapped Daohua’s forehead, “How old are you to be sighing like this?The sky won’t fall while the adults are here. As a child, you should go and do what you need to do.

Daohua snuggled up to Old Madam Yan, grasping her arm, and pursed her lips, saying no more.

On reflection, she realized that she had done quite well in this life; at least her father held an official position and had some social status.

If she had been born into the lowest class of people, even with her space, life wouldn’t have been very comfortable.

She knew very well that in ancient times, if you didn’t have sufficient status, even if you made money, it might not stay safe.
