The five hundred and seventieth chapters hide the dirt
Zhang Tinglan and Sun Xianrui came to Lund Cathedral under the protection of personal guards. The tall Gothic building exuded a full Western style, and the marble walls were clean and tidy, completely different from the surrounding low-rise houses.
Sun Xianrui pulled Zhang Tinglan's sleeve, with a beaming look on his face, and was about to walk inside when suddenly a group of people gathered around the door of the church. When they saw the guards approaching, they all moved out of the way.
At this time, in the middle of the crowd, a woman in her thirties was crying loudly: "Masters, please judge. They took my son away. I wanted to take a look, but they didn't agree. What else in this world is there?"
Does this make sense?"
"Hmph, you damn bitch, you still have the nerve to say you want to see your son. You abandoned your son in the first place, and the priest of the church kindly took him in. If you don't want a son yourself, what qualifications do you have to see him!" A gangster in his twenties looked like a gangster.
The guy shouted loudly.
Several of his companions also had sneers on their faces, grabbing the woman's clothes and trying to drag her outside. The woman struggled desperately and said to the onlookers around her: "The young woman was 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?"
"Huh, damn bitch, this is a church, a place for foreigners. If you deliberately cause trouble again, we won't be polite."
While he was talking, the door of the church suddenly opened, and a tall foreign priest walked out quickly, followed by several nuns. When the gangsters saw their master coming out, they didn't know the situation, and they were all stunned, but the master
He ignored them and walked directly to Zhang Tinglan.
"Mr. Zhang, I am Andrew, the person in charge here. It is our honor for you to come to Lund Church in person."
"Father Andrew, I am so presumptuous, please forgive me."
"Mr. Zhang, the Lord's door is open to anyone, and the merciful Lord will bless everyone."
When Sun Xianrui heard this, he immediately laughed: "Mr. Father, you may not be right, right? Why is it that this lady wants to enter the church, but your minions don't let her in?"
Zhang Tinglan's face suddenly darkened: "Xianrui, don't talk nonsense, we come to the church to pray, don't talk about other things, and apologize to the priest quickly!"
Andrew was a little embarrassed when he was questioned, but when he saw Zhang Tinglan reprimanding Sun Xianrui, he hurriedly said: "These are all parishioners, and they are usually the most loyal to the Lord. Everything may be a small misunderstanding."
While Andrew was speaking, the woman suddenly crawled over, hugged Zhang Tinglan's thigh, and cried: "Sir, and Madam, please, please talk to them. Let me go in and take a look.
Look at my son, I just want to take a look at him, just take a look at him!"
When Sun Xianrui heard the word madam, his face immediately turned red. He said hurriedly: "Sister, I am not a madam. You should tell me what's going on. If you are justified, this priest will not stop you.
"
Zhang Tinglan glared at Sun Xianrui again: "If you are nosy, why don't we come to the church to do business? There are so many unruly people in the world. There are also those who falsely accuse priests and blackmail churches."
"In this case, let's make it clear and clear the church's name. Why continue to make such a fuss?" Sun Xianrui was not convinced, tilted his little head, and started arguing with Zhang Tinglan.
When the two of them said this, they forced Andrew into the corner. The priest could only pretend to be calm and said: "Okay, let this lady explain her experience clearly, and the kind Lord will help you!"
The woman was trembling, and managed to get up from the ground. Then she sobbed and said: "Two months ago, the little woman took her seven-year-old son to live on the streets of Fengtian without food or shelter. At that time, she met people from the church. I
I had no choice but to hand the child over to them. Later I found a textile factory and worked there, working overtime day and night. I thought that when I had money, I would take my son back. Just the day before yesterday, I received the
I earned two months’ salary and bought my son’s favorite snacks and fruits. I also bought gifts for the gentleman at the church, and I happily came to see my son.”
At this point, the woman picked up a package on the ground, which contained a lot of snacks, but it had been trampled to pieces. The woman cried: "But these church people didn't let me in at all, and even sent out thugs.
They just started coaxing me, but when I refused to leave, they came up and beat me. I just wanted to see my child, and I felt sorry for him. I didn’t want to be separated from him as a mother, so I was forced to do nothing!”
The people around her also heard the whole story clearly. What the woman said was reasonable, but she was beaten severely by the church thugs. Everyone looked at Andrew with a strange expression. This church is too unhuman!
Andrew doesn't care about the opinions of 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. Faced with the God-given opportunity, they can't
Let such a crazy woman ruin it.
So Andrew smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, the church has rules for adopting children. If they no longer want their own children, they can't take them back. The church will arrange a better life for those children who are truly kind and capable."
People come back to adopt them.”
"Mr. Father, this is a bit unreasonable. No matter how nice an outsider is, how can he be better than his own mother? This lady was unable to raise her son at the beginning, but now she has a job and can earn money. She will definitely have no problem raising her son. You
Isn’t it a bit bad to go overboard and do it for you?”
When they arrived, Sun Xianrui and Zhang Tinglan had already divided their duties. One was the red face, and the other was the bad face. This little girl's words were also very sharp, and the onlookers couldn't help but applaud.
Andrew looked a little embarrassed, and he could only say: "More than two months have passed, and this lady's child has been given to others for adoption. She came too late."
When the woman heard this, she immediately collapsed on the ground and cried loudly: "Hu'er, why is my mother's life so miserable? How can I still be alive when I can't even see her?"
"Sister, please stop crying. This guy is lying. Their church has regulations that the child must be raised in the church for three months to help the child recover and confirm that there is no disease before it can be adopted. You have less than three months.
Months, the child cannot be taken away!"
Sun Xianrui had specially inspected the church and was very clear about their various regulations. Sun Xianrui also highly praised this adoption regulation at the beginning. Most of the homeless children have hidden diseases and poor physical conditions. If they are taken in rashly, they are likely to develop serious illnesses.
Even death, so it is very necessary to ensure the health of the child first.
Lund Cathedral, which formulated this regulation, lied in public, which made Sun Xianrui even more suspicious of them. When the people around heard the excitement, they also started to boo.
"That's right, let them see the child quickly!"
"Human relations and family ties cannot be extinguished, and you cannot block them!"
"Is there something wrong with your child that you dare not let others see? These foreigners don't have any good things."
"Yes, they are all sanctimonious animals. I don't believe they can sincerely adopt children."
…
The people below started to make noises, and there were more and more people. Andrew's face started to sweat a little, but Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Father Andrew, I occasionally remember wrongly, and it is understandable. The pure will be cleansed by themselves, and the dirty will be clean."
"Zi Zhuo. Let's go to the church to talk first. There will be no results if we yell like this. Besides, I still have business to see you."
"Well, please come in quickly."
Andrew led the way and invited Zhang Tinglan in. Sun Xianrui and the woman followed closely. They soon arrived inside and sat down in the living room.
Zhang Tinglan glanced at the woman, then frowned and said: "Mr. Andrew, if it is convenient, can you let this woman go find her child, and we can talk about more serious business."
When Andrew saw that Zhang Tinglan had spoken, he couldn't object, so he nodded: "There are many children adopted by the church. They may have been taken away, or they may still be here, but one thing is that we will treat every child kindly."
Sun Xianrui took the woman to find his son, while Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "Mr. Father, I wonder how many years have you been in China?"
"I came to China in 1908 AD, and it has been twelve years. During this time, I have been adhering to the Lord's teachings, loving others, and helping all those in need. I have adopted tens of thousands of street children.
"
"Well, I have long heard that the church is a place of mercy. My father was accidentally plotted, and his life and death are uncertain. As a son of a man, I really have no choice but to pray for him to recover as soon as possible. But those temples in China are cheating money
I didn’t believe it, so I came to Lund Church.”
"Mr. Zhang, your choice will not be wrong. The Almighty Lord will bless 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 help thinking in his heart. Although Zhang Tinglan said that Zhang Zuoxiang's life or death was uncertain, he was actually forced to the point of begging the gods. It could be seen that this man was almost hopeless, and Andrew felt a little proud in his heart.
But I'm afraid it's not enough to kill the old commander. It would be better to kill the young man in front of him calmly. That would be even more perfect.
Just when this guy was acting evil, Sun Xianrui led the woman and a six or seven-year-old child and ran over quickly.
When this woman arrived in front of Zhang Tinglan, she fell to her knees, hugged her son, and kowtowed to Zhang Tinglan.
"Thank you sir, we are able to see each other again. I really appreciate your kindness!"
"You're welcome, it's not right for you to abandon your own child, so don't bother the priest and the others anymore!"
As Zhang Tinglan spoke, he reached out to pull up a child. The little boy seemed to be electrocuted. He hid his hands behind his back, shook his head violently, cried loudly, and squeezed into his mother's arms, like a frightened little animal.
, the fear in his eyes deeply hurt Zhang Tinglan. (To be continued...)
