Chapter 241: 241
The third day, fourth day, fifth day . . .
After a week, Liu Daifen met another sweeper while sweeping the streets in the morning . The other sweeper was an old man with white hair . He was in a good mood and greeted her when he saw her . "Daifen, today's payday, right? Haha . . . I heard there will be a raise . We are going to get an increment of tens of yuan . I counted that we should be able to get eighteen hundred yuan this month . Heh heh . . . If we scrimp a little, we should be able to save a few hundred every month . "
However, these words sounded like thunder in Li Haopeng's ears! Such hard work for a month only earned his mother eighteen hundred yuan? He had tipped the streamer a thousand a round . . . Recalling the fifty thousand he had tipped and how the elderly man mentioned how it was possible to save a few hundred every month if they scrimped, how long would it take to save fifty thousand yuan?
Li Haopeng was no fool . He was already in sixth-grade . He knew how to do basic arithmetic . If one saved four hundred a month, that meant forty-eight hundred a year . Fifty thousand yuan . . . how long would it take for her mother to save fifty thousand, if he ignored the money that his father previously saved? It would take more than ten years! But how long did he take to spend that much? Minutes!
Li Haopeng felt his brain turn abuzz . He felt flustered as he looked at his mother who continued sweeping the streets and then reflecting on himself .
Without even realizing it, tears streamed down his cheeks . He did not realize that he had already regained control of his body . In a daze, he walked towards Liu Daifen who was chatting while sweeping the streets . Then, under the stunned look in her eyes, he knelt to the ground with a plop . He hoarsely shouted, "Mom! I was wrong! I was really wrong . . . "
At that instant, Liu Daifen was completely unsure what to do . She felt that the sun had risen early today . Furthermore, it was a day with clear skies . . .
"Clear skies!" Fangzheng opened the doors to his monastery as he watched the sun rise in the east while smiling .
"Abbot, you seem to be in a good mood today," commented Monkey while he swept the yard .
Fangzheng chuckled, "That's right, but someone is probably feeling terrible . " With that said, Fangzheng's cell phone rang .
"Venerable Fangzheng, I'm going to go bankrupt . . . " Although Zhu Lin said that, her voice sounded excited . She had heeded Fangzheng's words and headed south as much as she could . She happened to meet the CEO of the website, the female entrepreneur, Sister Qing! They chatted for a long while and took to each other at once . Sister Qing wanted to promote her and even signed a contract with her . She was paid a fixed salary for her royalties and it was a very high amount . It started from the millions! It would be a joke if she was not happy about that .
Fangzheng chuckled, "Then don't go bankrupt . Why don't you return what This Penniless Monk said to you?"
"No! Master, it's my fault . About that, when do I transfer the money over? I've been asking you for the past few days but you were in no rush . That child's mother is definitely anxious . " Zhu Lin quickly capitulated . Fangzheng had given her advice twice since she knew him . The first one saved her life and the second one progressed her career . How would she dare offend such a living Buddha?
"That is the outcome of the merit you accrued and the kindness you have done . This Penniless Monk only guided you towards good luck . As for money, you can return it now . As for how you want to return it, that I will leave to your imagination . This Penniless Monk is not good at such things . . . Alright, it's breakfast time . Bye bye . "
On the other side, Zhu Lin stamped her foot in anger . "I don't even have an address . How am I to return the money? Darn this scummy master . . . "
Although she grumbled, Zhu Lin quickly took action . She knew in the past that doing good deeds calmed one's mind but now, knowing that doing good brought her good luck, there was no reason for her not to . After some thought, Zhu Lin recalled how the mother was a sweeper in Songwu County . Then, she would likely find Liu Daifen quickly if she went to the cleaning center . She immediately took action . . .
When Liu Daifen receive the fifty thousand yuan, she pushed it back .
Zhu Lin was stunned . "Auntie, what are you doing?"
"You are a good child . This is rightfully yours . Although this is a lot of money, it's nothing compared to my son . He has grown up from this experience . I have something to look forward to now . Isn't it just fifty thousand yuan? I'm still young . I can earn more!" said Liu Daifen in exuberance .
Zhu Lin smiled wryly, "Auntie, do I look like I'm very old? If you can earn, why can't I? Take this money . If not, I'll be cursed to death by others . I might even lose my fans . I would suffer a greater loss that way . Please do me a favor by accepting it . "
Zhu Lin was eloquent and successfully persuaded Liu Daifen . She made it seem like it would only bring her harm if Liu Daifen did not accept the money . Liu Daifen had no choice but to accept it . However, she knew that the girl in front of her was a good person . She thanked her profusely .
