Fengxian Jiangshan

Under the protection of personal guards, Zhang Tinglan and Sun Xianrui came to Lund Cathedral. The tall Gothic building exudes a full Western style, and the marble walls are clean and tidy, which is completely different from the surrounding low houses.

Sun Xianrui tugged at Zhang Tinglan's sleeve, and was about to walk inside with a beaming face, when suddenly a group of people surrounded the church gate.When they saw a guard approaching, they all got out of the way.

At this time, in the middle of the crowd, a woman in her thirties was crying loudly: "Masters, you all judge me. They took my son away. I want to take a look, but they don't agree. There are still people in this world. Does this make sense?"

"Hmph, you dead woman, you still have the face to say that you want to see your son. You abandoned your son at the beginning, and the priest of the church kindly took him in. You don't want a son yourself, so what right do you have to come and see him!" A gangster in his twenties looked like guy yelled loudly.

Several of his companions also sneered, grabbed the woman's clothes, and were about to drag her outside. The woman struggled desperately, and said to the people watching: "The little woman is forced to abandon her son. Now I just want to take a look at him, what's wrong, don't you have children, why don't you know what it means to be a parent?"

"Hmph, dead woman, this is a church, a place for foreigners. If you deliberately make trouble again, we will not be polite."

While talking, suddenly the door of the church opened, and a tall foreign priest walked out quickly, followed by several nuns.Seeing the master came out, the gangsters were all stunned, but the master ignored them and walked directly in front of Zhang Tinglan.

"Mr. Zhang, I am the person in charge here, Andrew. It is our honor that you can come to Lund Church in person."

"Father Andrew, please forgive me for being presumptuous."

"Mr. Zhang, the Lord's door is open to anyone, and the merciful Lord will bless everyone."

When Sun Xianrui heard this, he laughed immediately: "Mr. Priest, what you said may not be right. Why is this lady wanting to enter the church, but your minions won't let her in?"

Zhang Tinglan's face sank immediately: "Xianrui, don't talk nonsense, we come to the church to pray for blessings, don't talk about other things, and apologize to the priest soon!"

Andrew was a little embarrassed when he was questioned, but he saw Zhang Tinglan scolding Sun Xianrui.He also hurriedly said: "These are all religious people, and they are usually the most loyal to the Lord. Everything may be a small misunderstanding."

While Andrew was talking.The woman crawled over suddenly, hugged Zhang Tinglan's thigh, and said in tears, "Sir, and madam, please, please tell them. Let me go in and see my son, I just want to Just one look at him is enough!"

When Sun Xianrui heard the words Madam, his face flushed immediately.Hastily said: "Sister, I'm not a wife, you still tell me what's going on with you, if it's reasonable, this priest won't stop you."

Zhang Tinglan glared at Sun Xianrui again: "Meddle in other people's business, don't we have business to do when we come to the church? There are so many unruly people in this world, and there are people who slander priests and blackmail churches."

"If that's the case, then let's make it clear, and return the church's innocence, why go on like this?" Sun Xianrui was not convinced, tilted his head, and started arguing with Zhang Tinglan.

The two of them said this, but they forced Andrew to the corner. The priest could only pretend to be calm and said: "Okay, let this lady explain her experience clearly, the merciful Lord will help you!"

The woman tremblingly managed to get up from the ground, then sobbed and said: "Two months ago, the little woman took her seven-year-old son and lived on the streets of Fengtian. She had no food or shelter. I met people from the church at that time. I had no choice but to hand over my child to them. Later I found a textile factory and worked in it, working overtime day and night. I thought I had money, so I took my son back. Just the day before yesterday I received I paid two months’ salary, bought my son’s favorite snacks and fruits, and I also bought gifts for the teacher in the church, so I came to see my son excitedly.”

Speaking of this, the woman picked up a package on the ground, which contained a lot of snacks, but it had been crushed, and the woman cried: "But these people from the church simply let me in, and sent thugs, When they started coaxing me, they came up and beat me when they saw that I hadn’t left. I just wanted to see my own child, I’m sorry for him, as a mother, I don’t want to be separated from him, and I’m forced to do so!”

The people around also heard the whole story clearly. This woman said something reasonable, but she was beaten by church thugs. Everyone looked at Andrew with weird expressions. This church is too unreasonable!

Andrew doesn't care about the opinions of those ordinary people, but Zhang Tinglan and the others are here. This is the most powerful person in the three eastern provinces. If they can maintain a friendly relationship with him, it will be much easier for them to do various things. Let such a crazy woman be ruined.

So Andrew said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, the church has rules for adopting children. They don't want their own children anymore, so they can't take them back. The church will arrange a better life for those children. They are really kind and capable. people came back to adopt them.”

"Mr. Priest, this is a bit unreasonable. No matter how good an outsider is, can he be better than his own mother? This lady was unable to raise a son at the beginning, but now she has a job and can earn money. There must be no problem raising a son. It's a little bad for Yuezu to act as a substitute, isn't it?"

When they came, Sun Xianrui and Zhang Tinglan had already made a division of labor, one was a red face and the other was a bad face. This little girl was also very sharp in her speech, which attracted the applause of the onlookers.

Andrew looked a little embarrassed, and he could only say: "It's been more than two months, and this lady's child has been given up for adoption, and she came too late."

As soon as the woman heard this, she slumped down on the ground and wailed loudly: "Hu'er, why is mother's life so hard? I can't even see one side of it. How can I still be alive!"

"Sister, don't cry anymore. This guy is lying. Their church has a rule that they must be raised in the church for three months to help the child recover and confirm that there is no disease before he can be adopted. Your time has not reached three months. months, the child cannot be taken away!"

Sun Xianrui has specially inspected the church and is very clear about their regulations. At the beginning, Sun Xianrui especially respected this adoption regulation.Most homeless children have hidden diseases and poor physical conditions. If they are taken in hastily, they are likely to suffer from serious illness or even die. Therefore, it is very necessary to ensure the health of the children first.

The Lund Cathedral, which formulated this regulation, lied in public, which made Sun Xianrui even more suspicious of them, and the surrounding spectators also booed.

"That's right, let people see the child!"

"Human relationship and family relationship cannot be extinct, you can't block it!"

"Is it because there is something wrong with the child that you dare not let others see it? These foreigners don't have good things."

"Yes, they are all sanctimonious animals. I don't believe they can really adopt children."

……

The common people below started clamoring, and there were more and more people, and Andrew's face was sweating, but Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Father Andrew, occasionally I make a mistake, it is understandable, the clear is self-cleaning, the turbid Self-deprecating. Let’s go to the church to talk first, there is no result for such yelling, and I still have business to find you.”

"Okay, please come in."

Andrew led the way and invited Zhang Tinglan in, and Sun Xianrui followed closely with the woman. They quickly arrived inside and sat down in the living room.

Zhang Tinglan glanced at the woman, then frowned and said, "Mr. Andrew, if it's convenient, can you ask this woman to find her child, and we can talk about something serious."

Seeing what Zhang Tinglan had said, Andrew couldn't object, so he nodded, "There are a lot of children adopted by the church. They may have been taken away, or they may still stay here, but there is one thing, we will definitely treat every child well."

Sun Xianrui took the woman to find his son, while Zhang Tinglan smiled and said, "Mr. Priest, how many years have you been in China?"

"I came to China in 1908 in the Western calendar. It has been 12 years. During this time, I have been adhering to the Lord's teachings, loving others, helping all those in need, and adopting tens of thousands of street children."

"Well, I have long heard that the church is a place of mercy. My father has been plotted against occasionally, and his life and death are uncertain. As a son, there is really no choice but to pray for blessings and let him recover as soon as possible. But those temples in China that cheat money I didn't believe it, and that's why I came to Lund Church."

"Mr. Zhang, you can't make a wrong choice. The Almighty Lord will protect all the people. As long as you pray sincerely, the Lord will definitely bless the world."

Andrew said on the surface, but he couldn't stop thinking in his heart. Although Zhang Tinglan said that Zhang Zuoxiang's life and death were uncertain, but he was forced to beg the gods.

However, killing the old man may not be enough, it is better to kill the young man in front of him calmly, that would be more perfect.

While this guy was playing tricks, Sun Xianrui led the woman and a six or seven-year-old child and ran over quickly.

When the woman came in front of Zhang Tinglan, she fell to her knees with a plop, put her arms around her son, and kowtowed to Zhang Tinglan.

"Thank you sir, our mother and son can meet again, I really appreciate your great kindness!"

"You're welcome, it's not right for you to abandon your child, so stop pestering the priest and the others!"

As Zhang Tinglan said, he stretched out his hand to pull a child. The little boy seemed to have been electrocuted. He hid his hands behind his back, shook his head violently, and cried bitterly. He squeezed into his mother's arms like a frightened little animal. , the fear in his eyes hurt Zhang Tinglan deeply. (To be continued..)
