When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the yamen runners were searching, apparently they were searching for the thief who stole from the Qian Mansion.

Lin Dai was thinking about how to deal with it when she saw Da Zhuang coming forward to negotiate. Seeing this, Lin Dai secretly gave Dali one or two taels of silver and asked him to give it to Da Zhuang. He should understand what she meant.

After a while, Da Zhuang motioned Lin Dai and the others to come over. The yamen runner simply glanced at them, opened the lid of the barrel on the car, took a look, and let them go.

After leaving the city, Lin Dai asked Da Zhuang what he had said to the bailiff, why he was let go so easily.

"Master, you don't know, that yamen runner is from the same village as me, and he knows me well. He knows that I often go to the city to find work. I told him that we were going to distribute porridge outside the city. There are many beggars and poor people outside the city. The yamen runner has lived a hard life since childhood and often went hungry. Maybe he had some sympathy and didn't say much. Besides, distributing porridge outside will reduce some of the burden on them guarding the city, and those poor people will not do anything wrong. I also gave him one or two taels of silver, which is higher than his monthly salary. He must be very happy to let us go. However, I dared to tell you that you are going to distribute porridge outside the city. Please forgive me. I thought that even if I didn't tell them that we would distribute porridge outside later, they would still find out, and it would be hard to say then. It's better to tell them in advance so that they won't say anything."

"Well, no problem. You did a good job. I'll give you some processing money. It seems you are good at dealing with people." Lin Dai was very satisfied with the approach of this man named Da Zhuang. Maybe she could ask him to do work in the future.

"Our brother Dazhuang is eloquent and the best at work. We all work under the leadership of brother Dazhuang, and that is how we can live well." The man called Dali could hear a hint of bragging in the words.

Lin Dai smiled and said, "Okay, then everyone should work hard, and you will get paid if you do a good job. Now Dali, go tell those people what's going on, and ask them to bring their bowls over to drink porridge. Dazhuang, you serve them porridge, and you two maintain order and ask them to line up. Don't mess around, or you won't get any porridge."

Everyone divided the work, and soon many beggars and refugees came, clamoring and asking if there was really porridge to drink.

Da Zhuang said loudly, "The porridge is available. Everyone line up and come one by one. Don't mess around. Daniu and Da Hu, maintain order."

Seeing this, Lin Dai nodded and really had the demeanor of a leader. Suddenly, Fatty's voice came to her ears: "Sister, why don't you go to make porridge?"

“Isn’t this a work in progress?”

"But sister, you didn't do it yourself."

"I still have to do it myself. What's the difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. If you do it yourself, the merit you get will be higher. Otherwise, it will only be half. If you don't mind, just ignore what I said."

Lin Dai was speechless. She decided to serve the porridge for the sake of merit. She walked to the wheelbarrow and said to Da Zhuang, "You help out on the side. I'll do it."

When everyone lined up, it was almost time to serve the porridge. When the lid was opened, a strong aroma of rice porridge wafted out. Some people in the line wanted to rush over immediately, and Lin Dai immediately shouted, "If anyone disrupts the order, not only will he not have porridge, but everyone will have none. So if anyone among you disobeys the instructions, everyone will suffer."

After he finished speaking, someone immediately stopped the person who was about to rush over and yelled, "If you don't want to drink the porridge yourself, don't involve us, otherwise we will beat you to death." Sure enough, no one in the team dared to mess around.

The porridge distribution began. Lin Dai filled each bowl very full. Those who had the porridge prepared sat on the ground and drank it in big gulps. Some people looked at the porridge cautiously and took small sips, reluctant to drink it.

An old man was with a child who looked only 3 years old, holding a broken bowl in his hand.

Lin Dai asked: "Mother-in-law, is there only one bowl?"

"One bowl is enough for us. That's enough."

Seeing this, Lin Dai took out the bowl she had prepared in advance, filled it up and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry about everyone having one. One bowl for each person. Here, little one, take it. How old are you this year?"

"Xiaobao is 5 years old this year."

"So your name is Xiaobao, how cute! Take the porridge and eat it slowly over there. If it's not enough, come back for more."

"Thank you, brother. It's enough. I eat less." Lin Dai felt like crying after hearing this. She was too sensible. She was so thin that she couldn't tell that she was a 5-year-old child. It seemed that she couldn't tell that she was already 11 years old.

I continued to serve porridge as more and more people came. Fortunately, I added another bucket at the end. Lin Dai always prepared things like this, and she liked to have more than enough. Otherwise, sometimes if there was not enough, it would go bad when needed urgently. If there was more than enough, the rest could be used next time, which saved a lot of trouble.

It was around 5pm in the evening. After we finished making the porridge, we packed up and prepared to go back to the inn.

Before leaving, many people thanked her and some even knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude. Lin Dai looked at them and made a temporary decision to do something big in the evening.

Back at the inn, Lin Dai gave each of the four men one tael of silver. They refused many times, so Lin Dai asked them to accept it, saying that she would not ask them to work next time, and then they accepted it obediently.

Lin Dai returned to her room, had a good meal and prepared to go to bed.

"Fatty, wake me up after 10pm. You don't need music to wake me up, just call me directly."

"Okay." Originally, the system wanted to try his new favorite music.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the system woke Lin Dai up on time. Maybe because she was busy in the afternoon and was not hungry, she slept well. She went into the space, washed her face and came out.

"Fatty, just help me give the silver to those beggars and refugees."

"You can, but the merit will be reduced by half."

"It's okay. I can't do this by myself. Can you get me out of the city gate?"

"No problem, no problem."

"Hey, Fatty can speak English now."

"Of course, little sister, didn't you let me study? There must be some results."

"Well, keep working hard, let's go."

Lin Dai quietly left the inn and came to the city wall: "Pangpang, how are you going to help me get out?"

"Sister, turn around and close your eyes and leave it to me."

Seeing Lin Dai closed her eyes, Pang Pang took out the big hammer again and smashed it on Lin Dai's butt. Coincidentally, Lin Dai secretly opened her eyes to see what the system was going to do. She uttered two words "I K" again and flew out of the city.

With a "bang", Lin Dai fell face down on the ground. She lay there for a long time without moving.

The system pushed her and shouted, "Miss, we are out of town now, get up quickly, no one needs to pretend to be dead."

At this moment, Lin Dai's heart was filled with a thousand alpaca horses galloping. She stood up, patted the dirt on her body, and said viciously: "System, explain! Why is it the big stick again?"

"That's not a big mallet, it's an all-purpose hammer. It can do a lot of things. You'll know it later, sister."

"There is no future!" Lin Dai said loudly: "You hit me up and I fall down. What if I get disabled or disfigured?"

"No, sister, you will be disabled at most, not disfigured. You are ugly enough, how much more can you be disfigured?" Just after she finished speaking, she was grabbed by a pair of big hands. Lin Dai put the system on her knees and slapped the system's butt mercilessly, saying as she slapped it, "System, I have tolerated you for a long time."

Normally, people cannot touch the system, and will not feel anything when being hit. However, the system is bound to the host, and the host can do it, so the small system screams and cries when being hit.

To be honest, Lin Dai felt really distressed when she saw this, and she couldn't bear it, so she stopped beating him. But she still said, "Don't talk nonsense next time."

"I'm not talking nonsense. I don't know what I can and can't say. My sister is so mean."

"Can't you hear that your sister is angry? Why don't you speak properly? If you can't speak, just say sorry and apologize."

"I don't know if my sister is angry or not."

"Is it so subtle? Can't you tell from the expression on my face and the words I say? Forget it, you don't understand anything. Remember, from now on, if I call you system instead of your name, I'm going to be angry, so be careful when you speak. Got it?"

"Oh, so that's how it is. Before, sister called me system one moment and fat the next, it's because sister was angry. Okay, sister, please tell me earlier." The system felt really aggrieved.

Lin Dai was really helpless. The system was like a three-year-old child who didn't understand anything. She encouraged herself in her heart that she would take her time. If the system knew what Lin Dai was thinking, it would definitely retort: ​​The system is not a three-year-old child. I am not even one year old.

"Alright, alright, Fatty, quickly check where those people are."

"Well, they are in a small thatched hut 500 meters outside the city."

Lin Dai trotted off and arrived soon. "Fatty, just give them the money."

"Okay." Less than a minute later: "It's ready, sister."

"Great, walk down to the next place."

I let the system check where the nearest village was and navigated there. It took me nearly two hours to finally arrive at a village called Xiaohe. It was already past one in the morning.

The moon is dark and the sky is high, it is the best time to kill, arson, steal and do evil. Of course we are here to do good things. Lin Dai despised herself in her heart again, what nonsense was she thinking.

Lin Dai took the silver that she had prepared and did it herself this time. She first quietly tried to find the first house at the entrance of the village and fumbled to find which bedroom it was. However, the houses in the village were simple and easy to find because they were all poor.

She found the family's bedroom and knocked on the window. She heard someone wake up and ask who it was. Lin Dai knew it was an old man's voice, so she threw the silver in her hand into the house and hid aside.

When the old man saw something thrown in, he asked again, "Who is it?" Lin Dai didn't say anything, waiting for the old man to find the silver.

After waiting for a while, the old man got up and lit a candle to see what was going on. He kicked something under his feet, picked it up and opened it, and saw that it was 5 taels of silver. The old man quickly woke up the old woman and explained the situation. Both of them were a little at a loss, wondering what to do.

Finally, the old man decided to go to sleep and wait and see what happens tomorrow, so he extinguished the candle and went to sleep. Seeing this, Lin Dai left. As soon as Lin Dai left, the old man, who had closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, and after a while he closed his eyes and went to sleep again.

Lin Dai distributed the money to each household according to the method just used. Basically, no one came out to shout and scream, because they didn't lose anything but instead had extra money. In this situation, everyone would pretend that nothing had happened.

Lin Dai was busy for more than two hours. After delivering the silver, she quickly left the village and entered the space.

"I'm so tired today. I'll take a good shower and go to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything else." Before going to bed, he told the system to check the situation tomorrow.
