Chapter: 2197

Zhang Gui Fen and three others got up early, even though it was New Year's Day, they still needed to continue going to the supermarket to earn money.

Zhang Gui Fen's first task after waking up was to plan to light incense again in front of the Guanyin Buddha painting, wishing for a peaceful and prosperous new year under Guanyin's protection.

She lit three sticks of incense, made a wish, bowed her head, stood up, and was about to insert the three sticks of incense into the incense burner when she suddenly felt that something was off.

Originally, when inserting the incense stick into the rice-filled incense burner, there would be a noticeable resistance.

But now, she couldn't find any sensation at all.

As she took a closer look, her face turned red with anger!

She shouted loudly: "This Shao family old granny! How dare you steal the incense rice in the Guanyin altar?!?"

Shao Old Grandma finally managed to fill her stomach and take a good nap.

However, she didn't expect that as soon as she woke up, Zhang Gui Fen would kick open the door with anger!

Before Shao Old Grandma could even react, Zhang Gui Fen rushed to the bed and slapped her hard in the face, her voice filled with rage: "You're an old witch who dares to steal the rice from the incense burner dedicated to Guanyin. Are you still human?"

Shao Old Grandma's head spun from the slap, and she looked at Zhang Gui Fen's angry face, which was mere inches away. She was so scared that her soul flew out of her body, and she begged: "Gui Fen, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to steal your things, I was just really hungry!"

Zhang Gui Fen was furious and bit her lip: "You being hungry is your problem, what does it have to do with me? That incense burner is for Guanyin's use, and you stole the rice inside. It's a great disrespect to Guanyin! If Guanyin descends upon us in wrath, I'll be dragged down with you!"

Shao Old Grandma choked back tears: "Gui Fen, you're really going to watch me, an old woman, starve to death in this room? You say if I die here, will you still live on this roof? Every night, you'll think about me starving to death under your feet. Will your heart be at ease?"

As she spoke, Shao Old Grandma's voice was full of tears: "Gui Fen, you're like saving my life. Guanyin said that rescuing one person is better than building seven levels of a pagoda. This also counts as accumulating merit!"

Zhang Gui Fen's expression softened slightly, but she still scolded coldly: "On behalf of Guanyin, I can forgive your theft of the rice, but you must take responsibility for your actions and pay a certain price!"

Shao Old Grandma asked hurriedly: "Gui Fen, what do you want me to pay?"

As she spoke, Zhang Gui Fen's tone was cold: "You must do something for us today - give us three loads of laundry done in one day. I'll consider this incident as never having happened!"

Shao Old Grandma heard these words and immediately pleaded: "Gui Fen, yesterday I wasn't feeling well and couldn't go to the supermarket to work, so I had to steal your rice. Today, I have to go to work, or else our family of four won't have a way to make ends meet!"

"That's fine!" Zhang Gui Fen said irritably: "Either you do laundry for us or return my rice to me. Whatever amount you ate, just give it back to me, and then fill the incense burner with new rice!"

Shao Old Grandma cried and begged: "Gui Fen, I've already cooked all the rice and now what am I supposed to give back to you? How about this - let me go to work today, and after I get paid, I'll immediately buy more rice to return it to you. Is that okay?"

"No way!" Zhang Gui Fen refused to compromise: "If you choose to return my rice, then do it now. Otherwise, just give us some honest laundry service!"

Having said this, Zhang Gui Fen also threatened: "If you refuse to drink the toast, I'll punish you with a penalty! So don't blame me for being unfriendly!"

Shao Old Grandma saw Zhang Gui Fen's menacing expression and knew that this woman was not playing around.

With her family of four having no rice on this New Year's Day,

Shao Old Grandma received three piles of dirty clothes, bedding, and pillowcases from Zhang Gui Fen, asking her to wash everything by today. First priority JrNovels.com
