The two old people truly were pitiful. After settling them in at the inn, Hu Yun and Sun Yiqiu had the inn's laborers look after them properly. They also promised to visit every day and help them check with the county office to see whether their daughter was there. Once everything had been more or less arranged, they would send them home.
Naturally, Hu Yun and the others had left enough silver at the inn. Scholar Hong had been especially proactive about this, insisting on covering all the expenses himself. He even said he would give up his room at the original inn and move here to stay with the old couple, so he could look after them.
When the group left the inn, the two teary-eyed elders saw them all the way to the entrance, thanking them over and over.
"Good people! You are all good people!"
"Our benefactors, whether or not we find our daughter, we will pray for your fortune every day!"
"Alright, alright, stop seeing us off. Go back inside and rest."
"Yes, the sun is about to set. Hurry back in. Waiter, be sure to take good care of them!"
The two laborers in the hall supported the elders from either side and hurriedly answered.
"Rest assured, honored guests. We'll definitely look after them properly!"
Even after Hu Yun and the others had gone far away, the two elders were still cupping their hands in farewell. Only then did they return to the inn.
On the way back, Sun Yiqiu felt relaxed. Having done a good deed, he was in an excellent mood. Li Dongdong still pitied the two old people, but she too felt lighthearted.
"Doing good deeds really feels wonderful!" "Mm!"
Hu Yun looked at the two of them and shook his head
