Chapter 2041
Old Mrs. Xiao finally had a full meal and had a good night's sleep.
But unexpectedly, the door of the room was kicked open by the angry Zhang Guifen early in the morning!
Before Mrs. Xiao could react, Zhang Guifen rushed to the bed, slapped her hard on the face, and cursed angrily: "You old lady, you dare to steal the rice in the incense burner that I used to burn incense to the Bodhisattva. Are you still an individual?"
Old Mrs. Xiao was dizzy when she was slapped. When she saw Zhang Guifen's face that was so close that she was full of anger, she was immediately scared and begged: "Guifen, I'm sorry Guifen! I don't want to steal your things, but I'm so hungry."
Zhang Guifen was furious and gritted her teeth and scolded: "You are hungry and your problem, what does it have to do with me? The incense burner was used by me to burn incense for the Bodhisattva. If you steal the rice from it, it would be a great disrespect to the Bodhisattva! If the Bodhisattva surrenders his sins, you will implicate me!"
Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but swallow: "Gui Fen, you can't watch me, an old woman, starve to death in this house, right? You said if I really starve to death in this house, how can you live here in the future? You lie in the bedroom upstairs every night, thinking that I starve to death in this room downstairs. Would you feel good?"
As he said that, Old Lady Xiao said in tears: "Guifen, you just think that it saved my old life. Didn't the Bodhisattva say that? Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is also accumulating merit!"
Although Zhang Guifen's expression eased a little, she still shouted coldly: "For the sake of the Bodhisattva, I can forgive you for stealing rice, but you must save your own behavior and pay a certain price!"
Old Mrs. Xiao asked hurriedly: "Guifen, what price do you want me to pay?"
Zhang Guifen said coldly: "You clean our three of us for the whole day today. I just pretend that this has never happened!"
When the old lady Xiao heard this, she immediately begged: "Guifen, I was feeling unwell yesterday and couldn't go to the supermarket to work, so I stole your rice. Today I said I had to go to work, otherwise our family of four would not have the food rations today."
"Then I don't care!" Zhang Guifen said angrily: "Either you wash our clothes or you return the rice you ate to me. I won't cheat you. You can pay me back as much as you eat and fill me with the incense burner!"
Old Mrs. Xiao cried and said, "Guifen, all the rice has been cooked by me. Now, why do I give it to you? Otherwise, you asked me to go to the supermarket to work today. After I get the money after get off work, I will buy rice and return it to you. Do you think it's okay?"
"No!" Zhang Guifen said without any concession: "If you choose to return the rice to me, then you will pay it now. Otherwise, you can get out of here and go to wash your clothes honestly!"
After saying that, Zhang Guifen threatened again: "If you don't want toast, don't blame me for being ruthless to you!"
Old Mrs. Xiao saw Zhang Guifen's expression ferocious, and knew that this woman was definitely not joking with her.
I am now alone and weak, how could I be her opponent?
So, Old Mrs. Xiao had to nod her head with tears in her eyes and swallowed: "Okay, I'll wash, I'll go wash now."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Xiao’s family of four had not yet eaten rice.
Zhang Guifen and the other two lost a lot of dirty clothes and bed sheets and quilts to Old Lady Xiao, asking her to wash everything today.
So the old lady has no time to go out and make money.
