Comparing the descriptions, it was the same person each time. Yan Lao'er muttered to his daughter, "I wonder where this grain merchant came from.

Their heads and faces were kept relatively clean, but their eyes held a heavy, weathered look. Even the children's eyes lacked the innocence typical of their age. Timid, fearful, they shrank their bodies cautiously, heads bowed so low they seemed about to bury themselves in the ground. They endured the scrutiny of the people around them, not even daring to hide. Yan Lao'er…

- Chapter 324: Hosting Yan Huaiwen, listening from inside the room to the increasingly rowdy commotion outside, finally stepped out and called for Xiao Er from the courtyard. "Xiao Er, go keep an eye on your father. Tell him to drink less." It wasn't appropriate for him to intervene directly, but Xiao Er could do so without issue.

Yan Lao'er slept deeply that night, dreamless, and woke up early in the morning full of energy. According to Yan Huaiwen's idea, they should travel light.
