The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day …
A week later, while sweeping the streets in the morning, Liu Daifen met another sanitation worker. He was an elderly man with grizzled hair. He was in a good mood and greeted her the moment they met. "Daifen, you should be getting your pay today, right? Haha, I heard there will be a raise. We will be getting a few dozen. I did the math this month. We will be getting about 1,800 yuan. Hehe, if we scrimp, we will be able to save a few hundred a month. "
However, those words were like a bolt from the blue to Li Haopeng's ears. Doing such hard work for a month would only earn 1,800 yuan? He had casually tipped streamers at least 11,000 yuan. Thinking back to the 50,000 yuan he had tipped, and the elderly man's words about saving a few hundred a month, how long would that take to save 50,000 yuan?
Li Haopeng was no fool. He was in the sixth grade, so he knew how to multiply and divide. Saving 400 a month meant 48,000 a year. Even if he subtracted the money his father had previously earned, even if only 10,000 was saved by his mother, how long would it take? More than two years! But how long did it take him to spend it? A few minutes!
At that instant, Li Haopeng felt his mind buzz. He was in a mess as he looked at his mother who was still sweeping the streets. Then, he thought about himself …
Unknowingly, tears streamed down his cheeks. He did not realize that he could already control his body. In a daze, he came in front of Liu Daifen, who was chatting while sweeping the streets. Then, under her stunned gaze, he plopped to the ground and shouted hoarsely, "Mom! I was wrong! I was really wrong! "
At that instant, Liu Daifen was at a complete loss. She only felt that the sun had risen a little early today. It was a sunny day …
"A sunny day!" Fangzheng opened the monastery's door and looked at the rising sun in the east.
"Abbot, you seem to be in a good mood today," asked Monkey who was sweeping the yard.
Fangzheng chuckled. "Indeed, but someone's mood is pretty bad." As he spoke, Fangzheng's cell phone rang.
"Venerable Fangzheng, I'm going to be broke." Although Zhu Lin said so, her voice sounded excited. She followed Fangzheng's instructions and headed south as much as possible. She ended up meeting the website's CEO, a strong woman, Sister Qing! The two of them chatted for a long time and felt like old friends at first sight. Sister Qing wanted to focus on training her and signed a contract with her. She would have a fixed salary every year, and it was very high, starting from a million! It would be strange if she wasn't happy!
Fangzheng chuckled. "Why don't you stop losing money and return This Penniless Monk's words to This Penniless Monk?"
"Don't! Master, I was wrong. When will the money be transferred over? I've been urging you for a few days now. Even if you're not anxious, the child's mother must be. " Zhu Lin quickly admitted defeat. Ever since she got to know Fangzheng, he had given her two messages. One of them had saved her life, and the other had given her a bright future. How could she dare offend this living Buddha?
Fangzheng smiled. "That's the result of your good deeds. This Penniless Monk just happened to be there. As for the money, you can pay it back. As for how you're going to pay it back, that's up to you. This Penniless Monk is not good at this … Alright, it's time to eat. Bye bye. "
With that said, Fangzheng hung up.
On the other side of the phone, Zhu Lin stomped her feet in anger. "You don't even have an address. Where do you expect me to pay the money back? Master of scams … "
Although she grumbled, Zhu Lin hurriedly took action. In the past, she knew that doing good would give her peace of mind. Now, doing good could bring her great luck. She really couldn't find a reason not to do good. Zhu Lin did some calculations. The other party was a sanitation worker in Songwu County. Then, she should be able to quickly find him by asking around. Therefore, she immediately took action …
When Liu Daifen received the fifty thousand yuan, she pushed it back.
Zhu Lin said in surprise, "Auntie, what are you doing?"
"You are a good child. This is what you deserve. Although this money is a lot, it can't be compared to my son. My son has grown up after experiencing this incident. My life has something to look forward to. Isn't it just fifty thousand yuan? I'm still young. I can earn more! "Liu Daifen said happily.
Zhu Lin said with a bitter smile, "Auntie, do you think I'm old? If you can earn it, why can't I? You have to take back this money or I will be cursed to death. It will be a huge loss if I lose fans. Just treat it as a good deed and accept it. "
Zhu Lin was eloquent. With a few words, she managed to convince Liu Daifen. It was as though she would be scamming Zhu Lin if she didn't accept the money. Helpless, Liu Daifen had no choice but to accept it. However, she also knew that the girl in front of her was a good person. Hence, she thanked her profusely.
Zhu Lin walked quite a distance away. When she looked back, Liu Daifen was still standing there waving at her.
On this day, Zhu Lin's livestream had a saying: "I realized that being a good person feels better than having a boyfriend! Although I've never had a boyfriend … "
After Fangzheng received Zhu Lin's message, he smiled in satisfaction.
"Congratulations. You have done another good deed," said the System.
"Congratulations without a reward are just being a hooligan."
System: "# ¥% …"
As One Finger Monastery's reputation increased, more and more visitors came to One Finger Monastery to offer incense. Fangzheng also received more incense money every day. After all, not everyone only invested one or two yuan.
Deep into the night, Fangzheng looked at the bed of money as his eyes curved into crescents.
"Is it nice?" asked the System.
Fangzheng nodded. "Yes."
"Have you seen enough?" asked the System.
"No," said Fangzheng.
"Then look at it a little longer. After all, it's only temporarily left with you."
Fangzheng's face immediately turned ashen. "System, can you keep quiet when I'm not calling you? If you were to speak like that, you would easily be beaten by others. "
"Oh, then go ahead and beat me," said the System.
Fangzheng looked up into the sky. "There will come a day when I'll beat you up!"
With that said, Fangzheng put away the huge pile of one yuan, fifty cents, and five yuan notes before placing them in his wardrobe. He had no choice. He did not have a locker, and there was no bank on the mountain. All he could do was leave the money there.
After dinner, he closed the monastery's door and leaned against the bodhi tree. He took out his cell phone and enjoyed the moment of peace. The sky was burning with red clouds, and under the sunlight, the entire monastery seemed to be plated with a layer of gold. It was very beautiful.
Fangzheng casually browsed through the recent news, comments, and scriptures. He passed his days in a carefree manner.
At that moment, there was a knock on the monastery's door.
Fangzheng frowned and got up to open the door. He saw an old man standing outside. His forehead was covered in sweat as he panted. Clearly, he had rushed all the way here.
Fangzheng pressed his palms together. "Amitabha. Patron, is there something?"
