[Gratitude +2]
[Host, my gratitude value has increased again. It must be that mother and son.]
【Um. 】
[I knew that the host I chose wouldn't be the kind of cold-hearted person who would stand by and watch someone die without helping.]
【Tuanzi, I have reason to believe that you are implying something about me.】
[No, no, host, absolutely not. I'm complimenting you, praising your kindness and goodness. Didn't you hear that?]
[Sorry, I really don't have any. Okay, enough joking, time to get down to business.]
[Host, before we get started, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it.]
[I don't want to talk about it, forget it. Look at you, you're capable of that, yet you don't know whether you should ask or not. If you don't know you shouldn't ask, why are you asking?]
[Hey, host, listen to me. You really wanted to help that mother and son, but why did you only give them two steamed buns and five taels of silver?]
Hearing the system ask this, Mengyue knew what Tuanzi wanted to say. He just wanted to know why he didn't give her a little more.
"Tuanzi, let me ask you, if I give too much, can the mother and child survive? Giving too much won't save them, it'll harm them. Besides, the porridge will be distributed soon, and two steamed buns are enough to keep the mother and child together until the porridge is distributed, so they won't starve to death before then. Giving them five taels of silver is already a lot. After all, five taels of silver is a fraction of many families' income. After deducting expenses, even two taels might not be enough to save five taels. With these five taels of silver, plus the porridge distribution and the subsequent food-for-relief program, anyone who isn't lying down waiting to die can survive."
After listening to Mengyue's explanation, the system suddenly understood the deeper meaning behind the host's actions.
【Host……】
Before the system could say what it wanted to say, the alarm sounded.
This time the alarm was louder than any previous one, and it was deafening, which scared Mengyue and the system.
[Alarm~Alarm~]
[Drip~Woo~Drip~Woo~]
[Drip~Woo~Drip~Woo~]
[Drip~Woo~Drip~Woo~]
[Host... Host, something big is about to happen...
[I know, but did you tell me what it is?]
【I don’t know yet.】
One man in charge of everything dared not take it lightly and just waited foolishly.
Not far from the county government office, Mengyue was standing motionless. Passersby couldn't help but look at her, wondering if she had suffered a blow and turned stupid.
"Go, go, go. It's obvious that this man has been hit hard and has become stupid."
"Yes, hurry up, a good girl has become a fool, her parents will cry to death."
"Who says she isn't? She looks pretty. Well, even if she's pretty, I wouldn't dare marry her."
"Oh, you didn't wash your face before going out. Don't you realize that you can be someone's father? How dare you say that?"
Suddenly Mengyue moved and walked quickly towards the county government office.
"Hurry, hurry, leave quickly! The little girl is crazy. She even dared to break into the county government office."
The crowd who were watching the excitement saw the direction Mengyue was going and did not dare to stop for a moment and ran away.
There is no way, the one Meng Yue is in is the county government office.
The people do not fight against the officials, and the people are naturally afraid of the government.
Normally, no one wants to deal with the government unless it involves a major matter involving human lives.
After all, everyone knows that the government office faces south and one cannot enter without money. They don't want to get into trouble just for seeing a joke.
