Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 52: Compassion Hall

In the southern suburbs of Great Xia’s capital was a Compassion Hall that took in orphans and helpless elders. There were several such Compassion Halls in the capital, which was why there were no beggars to be seen on the streets.

These Compassion Halls were sustained by donations coming from wealthy families in the capital. For instance, the Fang Manor would donate a hundred taels to the Compassion Halls every year.
