"Aiyah, Second Brother Ma, why are you here? What a coincidence. I just entered and you came. "Ma Jiangping didn't blush at all. Instead, she greeted him with great familiarity. If Fangzheng and Lame Ma hadn't been standing by the door all day, they would have believed her nonsense.
Lame Ma grunted and said, "You know very well why I'm here. Besides, I've been here all day. The call just now was made at your door. "
The moment that was said, the atmosphere froze. The atmosphere turned extremely awkward as the smell of gunpowder filled the air.
When the people who were playing mahjong saw this, they quickly packed up their money and prepared to leave.
Ma Jiangping wore an embarrassed expression. She never expected the honest man to be so fierce when he spoke. He didn't give her any face at all. She glanced at Meng Changming who coughed dryly. "Second Brother Ma, why didn't you tell us you were coming? Look, you came so suddenly that we weren't prepared. "
"Prepared? Prepared to run? Not at home? Locked the door? " Lame Ma had never been a good-tempered person. When he was a nice person, everything was naturally negotiable. When he was angry, a single sentence from him could make people feel so embarrassed that they wanted to commit suicide.
"Second Brother Ma, you don't have to say that. We did borrow money from you, but there's no need for you to come knocking on our door and ask for it, right? It's almost the new year, and you caused such a ruckus in front of so many people. You really don't give us any face. "Seeing that Meng Changming was rendered speechless, Ma Jiangping hurriedly took over the conversation. At the same time, she ignored the fact that she owed money and blamed Lame Ma for not giving her face. Fangzheng was a little impressed by this method of shifting the blame.
Lame Ma glanced at the others and frowned. "This has nothing to do with you. Leave quickly!"
"Why leave? No one is allowed to leave? I want to see what you, Lame Ma, are up to today! It's the new year, but you came to your relative's place to cause a ruckus. Impressive! You're really something! Let everyone see what kind of person you are! " Ma Jiangping knew that she had shed all pretense of cordiality, so she didn't care about killing them. She didn't let them leave either. She stood up with her hands on her hips like a shrew.
Lame Ma had never argued with anyone before. He was a little dumbfounded as he subconsciously shot a glance at Fangzheng. "Are you being unreasonable? I invited Abbot Fangzheng over and let him be the judge. "
"What a joke. You already said that you were the one who invited Fangzheng. He's the person you invited, so of course he's on your side! Don't be unconvinced. Why don't I ask my man to be the judge? What do you think? "Ma Jiangping shouted.
Lame Ma said angrily, "Ma Jiangping, don't pester endlessly! Who doesn't know what kind of person Abbot Fangzheng is? "
"Yeah, who doesn't know? Who doesn't know that Abbot Fangzheng did quite a lot of things in the past? "Ma Jiangping said eccentrically. With that said, she hurriedly smiled obsequiously at Fangzheng." Aiyah, Abbot Fangzheng, look at me. My mouth works faster than my brain. I nearly forgot that you were still here. However, I didn't mean to say that you weren't. I was speaking the truth. You won't be angry if I speak the truth, right? "
When she said that, Fangzheng froze in his spot.
Lame Ma was so angry that his lips trembled. His eyes widened, and he nearly reached out to beat her!
At that moment, Fangzheng patted him on the shoulder to calm him down. Then, he looked warmly at Ma Jiangping and said with a smile, "Patron, you're right. This Penniless Monk did quite a lot of things in the past."
Ma Jiangping originally imagined that Fangzheng would find all sorts of reasons to refute her. She had even prepared a few plans in her mind and a bunch of verbal tricks. She never expected that not only was Fangzheng not angry, but he also wore a warm expression. It was as though what she had said previously was useless against him. Furthermore, Fangzheng had openly admitted it in front of everyone. He had admitted it without any explanation!
This left Ma Jiangping at a loss. However, she was ultimately an expert at quarreling. Her eyes darted around as she said to everyone, "See, I wasn't wrong, right? Abbot Fangzheng has admitted it himself. "Then, Ma Jiangping continued." Abbot Fangzheng, this is my home, right? "
Fangzheng nodded.
Ma Jiangping chuckled and narrowed her eyes. "But I didn't invite you. It's not nice for you to enter my home, right?"
The moment that was said, it could be said that she was chasing him away! She wasn't standing on ceremony at all!
Ma Jiangping could tell very clearly that Fangzheng was definitely here to help Lame Ma. Now that he hadn't said a word, she wanted to chase him away before he said a word. It was to prevent Fangzheng from causing trouble after he spoke.
When the others heard that, they frowned. Who was Fangzheng? Who in the surrounding villages didn't respect him? Yet, Ma Jiangping had said such a thing. It truly pissed everyone off. However, Ma Jiangping wasn't wrong. This was her home. She really had the right to decide if others were to enter her home. Therefore, no one said a word. They subconsciously looked at Fangzheng and Lame Ma, hoping to see how they would respond.
However, Fangzheng remained unangry. Instead, he smiled at Ma Jiangping. "Patron, This Penniless Monk will only say one thing. He will leave after saying that."
"What do you want to say?" Meng Changming asked out of curiosity.
Ma Jiangping immediately glared at him, as though she was saying that he was a big mouth! However, on second thought, it shouldn't be a problem for Fangzheng to say something. At most, she could prepare a few more sentences and retort.
Therefore, Ma Jiangping nodded, looking as though she was waiting for him to speak his mind.
Fangzheng smiled and said, "This Penniless Monk is here to solicit donations."
"Solicit donations?" Ma Jiangping, Meng Changming, and the few mahjong friends were a little taken aback. Although One Finger Monastery wasn't far from their village, it was definitely not close either. All these years, the monks of One Finger Monastery had only solicited a few vegetarian meals in One Finger Village. They had never come to their village. Therefore, their concept of soliciting donations was only limited to movies and television dramas. In reality, they had never encountered it before.
Ma Jiangping's interest was piqued as she asked, "Then what do you want to solicit?"
Ma Jiangping remembered that the monks in movies and television dramas didn't need money to solicit donations. They were all beggars. She thought to herself, "Didn't the famous Abbot Fangzheng come to our house to beg? I'll feel honored if this matter spreads. "
At that moment, someone called out to Ma Jiangping from outside. Ma Jiangping immediately ran out. However, Meng Changming was still in the house, slowly drinking his tea. He knew that Fangzheng was definitely here to help Lame Ma. The friend of an enemy was an enemy, so it was useless to give Fangzheng face. Hence, he chuckled and said, "Abbot Fangzheng, what do you want to solicit? We still have some leftovers at home. "
Fangzheng smiled and said, "This Penniless Monk wishes to solicit ten thousand yuan."
"Pfft!" Meng Changming spat out a mouthful of tea. At the same time, he felt a stifling pain in his chest. It took him a long time to recover.
