The next day, the townspeople of Tuzhen heard that outsiders in the town had run out of food and wanted to buy potatoes, so they all picked the largest and freshest potatoes from their homes and sent them to Xiao Ruo.
Looking at the courtyard filled with potatoes, Xiao Ruo couldn't help but smile wryly, "We just wanted to buy two bags for the journey, we really don't need so many."
"Madam, just pay for two bags, we've discussed it and each household will give you an extra half bag, so you won't run out of food on the road!" the townspeople said.
"Yes, you're traveling with several children, running out of food would be a problem."
They didn't have much else, but every household had more than enough potatoes to eat.
The townspeople's pure and kind-heartedness was moving, and Xiao Ruo sincerely said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, but we don't have extra carts to carry so many potatoes."
