With that, Lady Willson said in tears: “Gina…you just saved me, saved an old life. Didn’t the Bodhisattva say? Save a life and win the seventh-level Buddha statue. This is also considered accumulation of good deeds!”
Although Gina’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!”
Mrs. Willson hurriedly asked, “Gina, what price do you want me to pay?”
Gina said coldly: “You honestly wash the clothes for the three of us for one day. I will think this has never happened!”
When Mrs. Willson heard this, she immediately pleaded: “Gina, I was unwell yesterday and couldn’t go to the supermarket to work, so I stole your rice. Today I said everything has to go to work, otherwise for the family of four today’s rations are missing again…”
“Then I don’t care!” Gina said annoyedly: “Either you will wash our clothes, or you will give me the rice that you ate, and I will not ruin you. As much as you eat, you will pay me back and give the incense burner just fill it up!”
Mrs. Willson cried her face in mourning: “Gina, all the rice has been boiled by me, now let me give you back what? Or else, you let me go to the supermarket to work today, and I get the money after work. I’ll buy rice and return it to you immediately, do you think it’s okay?”
“No!” Gina said without relenting: “If you choose to return the rice to me, then return it now, otherwise, just get out and wash my clothes honestly!”
After that, Gina threatened again: “If you toast and don’t eat fine wine, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Seeing Gina’s grim expression, Lady Willson knew that this woman was definitely not joking with her.
She is now lonely and weak, how could she be her opponent?
So, Lady Willson nodded her head in tears, choked up, and said: “Okay…I will wash…I will go to wash…”
