However, the next day, the short and fat female laywoman came again.

Sister Qiu was not very happy in her heart, although she was willing to give, but the food at home was not always blown by the wind, and people obviously came over again because they saw that she was good at talking.

"Master, wait a minute." Sister Qiu said, ready to go to the small kitchen to see what else, give less, and at the same time complained in her heart, all of them were too generous last time, which attracted this person.

The female layman hurriedly said: "The female benefactor is slow, I have something to say to the female benefactor." ”

"What's the matter?" Sister Qiu asked.

The female layman smiled, sang a Buddhist saying, and then said: "The female benefactor is a good person, and she is full of Buddha, which is a fortunate thing for my Buddhist family." Originally, the old woman did not dare to bother the female benefactor with these small things, but it was really out of helplessness. ”

Sister Qiu nodded and said, "Then after you finish speaking, if I can help, I will definitely help." ”

Hearing Sister Qiu say this, the female layman showed a smile on her face, "That's it, the three holy Buddhas in the head hall of our Geyin Temple seem to have been molded ten years ago, and now the paint has fallen off a lot, which really damages my Buddha treasure, we made a grand wish in front of the Buddha to give the three holy Buddhas a golden body." If the female benefactor can be as ...... as possible Your sincerity in worshiping the Buddha, the Buddha will see it, and you will be able to bless your family with peace and happiness forever......"

The female layman talked a lot, it was estimated that it was due to the limited cultural level, and the sentences that wanted to say the crepe were nondescript, and when Sister Qiu was dizzy when she listened, she finally understood and asked her to donate money to repair the temple.

"Plastic gold body......" Sister Qiu groaned, it wouldn't be what she thought, how much was it?

The female layman hurriedly said: "It's not a pure gold body, it's just a copper embryo coated with gold dust. ”

That's a lot of money! Since copper appeared as a circulating currency, the people were not allowed to keep copper privately in these days, otherwise they would be punished, which is the same as prohibiting you from printing money in the 21st century. If you want to mold the copper embryo, you can use a large number of copper coins to melt it to make copper water. Whether it is plastic copper embryo or gold powder, it all costs a lot of money.

Sister Qiu is willing to go to the temple to burn incense and offer some incense money, and she is also willing to give dry food to the poor who can't eat, but she is reluctant to give this money, but she can't give a penny, so she smiled and said: "That's a good thing, after a while, I will accompany my mother-in-law to the temple to burn incense." ”

She had to live in the countryside, and her reputation as an ungodly Buddha ruined.

At that time, in the name of Aunt Chunhua, the meaning will be counted, and every month Jia's family will go to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and by the way, give some incense money to the temple, bless the safety of the family, due to the small amount of giving, each time it will be 20 Wen, 50 Wen, and the family will also go by her.

The female layman could not hide the loss on her face, and walked closer half a step and said: "Female benefactor, I have inquired, you are a famous good person in these ten miles and eight villages!" Your family's idea is so big, thanks to the blessing of the Buddha! ”

Sister Qiu saw that she was relieved, and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't say that I wouldn't donate money, I will definitely donate, it's just this matter."

My mother-in-law is in charge......"

"It doesn't matter how much money you have, 300 taels of silver is not a lot of money for you!" The female layman preached earnestly, and looked at Sister Qiu with a smile.

Sister Qiu was taken aback, 300 taels?! "You mean you want me to give out the money for the gold body molding?"

This laywoman is crazy?! Sister Qiu is incredible, she looks like a stupid boss with many people?

"Don't let you go in vain." The female layman hurriedly said, "We will set up an immortal tablet for you in front of the golden Buddha, and we will also set up a tablet by the door of the main hall to engrave your merits." ”

Sister Qiu took a few steps back and said with a smile: "I know, you go back first, I can't be the master of this matter, so I will ask my mother-in-law about it." With that, he closed the door.

300 taels, how many people can't earn 30 taels in a life, this female layman really dares to ask for an exit.

After Lin Zhun came back at noon, Sister Qiu told Lin Zhun about it.

"Where is there such a persuasive almsgiving, our family is not a fat landlord and old wealth." Sister Qiu shook her head and said.

Lin Zhun smiled and said, "After a while, I will accompany you and your mother to the temple and give you some money." In our countryside, the plastic gold body is really a little excessive. ”

Geyin Temple is just a small incense-like country temple, all of which are mud embryos or wooden embryos of Buddha statues, air-dried and painted with paint, suddenly to shape the golden body, but also to Sister Qiu alone, really let him not know what to say.

Sister Qiu felt that this matter was over, who knew that on the third day, the female layman came to knock on the door again, and Sister Qiu opened the door and saw her, so she didn't want to deal with her, and only said: "Master rest assured, in two days I and my mother-in-law will definitely go to your temple to burn incense." ”

"Donor, listen to me, it is a great merit to mold the golden body of the Buddha...... the female layman pounced on the doorway and talked to Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu was startled by her sudden move, took a few steps back, and quickly closed the door.

However, the female layman was reluctant to leave, and she always loudly persuaded Sister Qiu to pay for the Buddha's golden body on the door panel.

The people who lived not far from Sister Qiu saw it, and hurriedly went to the workshop to inform Lin Zhun, and when Lin Zhun and Lin Qu and a few strong men ran over with wooden sticks, the female layman was still muttering by the door, and when she saw Lin Zhun running over, she ran away.

"Sister Qiu, open the door!" Lin Qu shouted by the door, "Don't worry, people have run away." ”

As soon as the door opened, Lin Zhun hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Sister Qiu shook her head, glanced at the direction where the female layman had fled, and was very worried in her heart, "What can I do?" "That female layman is considered a disciple of the Buddhist family, and she can't be beaten or scolded, so she seems to be here to collect debts.

Lin Zhun comforted her and said, "I'll go to the temple in the afternoon to ask about it, and you go to your mother's place in the afternoon, close the door and don't go out." ”

"I think there is something strange about this matter, and the Geyin Temple is not so unreasonable." Da Rong is on the side to help, this is a radius of 20 miles on such a temple, the big guys all go to incense on the first day of the new year, and the monks in the temple are all from their own families, although they dare not say that all of them are devout to the Buddha, and they will not be any treacherous people.

Wait until it's dark

When Lin Zhun and Lin Cheng came back from outside, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly when they talked about the female layman.

"What the hell is going on?" Aunt Chunhua was anxious, "Isn't that female layman a liar?" The next time she dares to come, I'll break her legs! ”

Lin Zhun shook his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a liar, it's really a layman of Geyin Temple, and a person who is devout to Buddha." ”

Because Lin Zhun has the title of an old Xiucai, the abbot of the Geyin Temple came to meet in person, the abbot is a little rich fat dun, 50 years old, wearing a gray cloth cotton jacket, gray cloth cotton pants, except that the head is bare, and he also holds a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

As soon as they heard about it, the abbot knew what was going on.

This woman believes in Buddhism very much, and when she heard that someone in the big temple outside paid for the golden body, she also wanted to mold the golden body of the Buddha statue in the temple, and also made a grand wish in front of the Buddha, what if it is not molded into a golden body. Ten miles and eight villages are all Zhuang households, who can have the money to give her alms? It's inconvenient to take a look at us, and I heard that Sister Qiu is kind, and Dazhun is not at home in the morning, so she will come in the morning. The layman who also practiced with her said that day by day, sooner or later, he would be able to influence the family sincerely......" Lin Cheng said, and he also wanted to laugh when he talked about it.

"Our family has money, so it wasn't used to show her loyalty to the Buddha." Aunt Chunhua crooked her mouth and said, "What does she think of our family?" ”

Sister Qiu also smiled, people are afraid of being famous, grass pigs are afraid of being strong, her reputation for being rich has already spread, but before she lived in the town, no one dared to disturb her, but now she lives in the countryside, and all kinds of troubles are coming.

On the way home, Lin Zhun whispered with relief: "You can rest assured, the abbot has been sure, she will not come again." ”

On a winter night, the moonlight shone brightly in the air, and the country roads were silent. "I still want my father and mother to move in with my grandfather." Sister Qiu looked up and said with a smile.

"After the New Year, we will mention it to my father and mother." Lin Zhun preached.

Mei Laosuo and Mao's still haven't bought New Year's goods for the New Year, and the two of them are tacitly waiting for Sister Qiu to give New Year's gifts.

The two of them sat still, but Aunt Mei and Mei Tang couldn't sit still.

"It's all 28, and there's nothing at home, how can you celebrate the New Year?" Aunt Mei complained secretly in the west room, "The eccentric eyes are biased to the edge of the sky, the old man will not come back for the New Year, you little children and grandchildren are all furnishings, and you can't get into other people's noble eyes!" ”

Mei Tang is also full of unhappiness, the two boys have no new clothes all year round, they are sloppy in their clothes, the big cows are all old, and no one has come to the door to mention the media.

"I'm definitely waiting over there...... to send it. Mei Tang angrily snorted at the direction of Sister Qiu's house.

Second Aunt Mei pursed her lips, "Pull it down!" Mid-autumn didn't come to send it, and it must be a grudge against those two old immortals, and it was sent in 2034 in previous years, and now it's the year

I won't give it away! ”

Mei Tang is very unhappy, but if Sister Qiu doesn't give it away, he can't do anything to others, to be fair, Sister Qiu has a granddaughter who got married, who can ask her to give gifts to her grandmother's house every year?

On the 30th day of the year, there was no trace of the New Year's goods, the lunch turned out to be boiled cabbage and corn dregs pancakes, even the Di oil stars could not be seen, the family did not live like a serious thing, Mei Er'er and Mei Tang completely broke out, using the New Year's goods as an excuse, and Mei Laosuo and Mao's big war, the noise was dark, Mei Tang grabbed Mei Laosu's collar, forcing him to break up, Mao sat on the ground and cried, Mei Er'er scolded with her waist crossed, and the big Niu Erniu stood there to watch the play.
