Mrs. Zeng's good reputation for many years was ruined.

Master Zeng is also full of money, his own business is not good or bad, but the people in his family are used to all kinds of pleasures.

In the past, with Wang Anni's subsidy, life was comfortable.

Moreover, with the Wang family's property worth hundreds of thousands of oceans as the foundation, the Zeng family, including Master Zeng, felt that they were rich.

But now, the money bag is gone, and he is saddled with a debt of 20,000 yuan, and Master Zeng's head is big.

The husband and wife quarreled outside, and when they returned home, they sat down together again to discuss.

There's no way, quarrels are quarrels, they are two people in the end.

Husband and wife are one, Zeng Xianliang is the son of the two, and now that his son has caused trouble, they naturally have to find a way to remedy it together.

"When I went to the provincial capital, I went to tell Wang Anni in person. ”

Mrs. Zeng took an egg and rubbed the bruises on her face, gritted her teeth and said, "I have treated her well over the years, and for the sake of the past, she will not refuse me." ”

"Well, you go too. ”

Master Zeng turned his face sideways, and inhaled the cold air as he spoke.

He never knew that his mother-in-law was actually a shrew, good fellow, and this scratched him, and his face was like being scratched by a cat.

With this appearance, it is estimated that I will not be able to go out for seven or eight days.

The husband and wife regretted it a little, and they shouldn't have done it outside on impulse.

Don't say it, the key is to delay things.

But it was too late to regret it, so the two had to be patient and recuperate at home for a few days, until the bruises and scratches on their faces were not too obvious, then they packed their luggage and went straight to the provincial capital.

Anne in the provincial capital didn't know about the Zeng family's farce, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

She is proceeding in an orderly manner step by step according to her own plan.

It was early in the morning, there had just been a snowfall, and the air was cold and fresh.

Anne wore a complicated skirt in the late Qing Dynasty, a thick cloak, and a copper stove in her hand, and walked out of the small western-style building slowly.

The padded embroidered shoes creaked slightly when they stepped on the snow.

Anne walked slowly two streets by herself to the door of a church in the Germanic style.

This is a well-known Christian church in the neighborhood, and the missionaries in the church do not preach directly to the citizens, but through some other means, tactfully and roundaboutly spread the gospel of the Lord.

There is no way, S province is a big province of Confucianism, and the ideology is originally traditional.

Especially in the inland areas, it is even more conservative, except for some students, successful people, and celebrities who have stayed abroad, or received a new education, or tried to use foreign religion to flaunt themselves as fashionable enough, more people do not eat this set at all.

What is the lord or not, such a foreign immortal they have never heard of is far less convincing than the local Taishan grandmother.

Therefore, it is very difficult to proselytize in such a region unless it impresses the people with tangible benefits.

For example, this church will open some girls' schools, nursery churches, and clinics for the benefit of the people, and use gentle means to slowly infiltrate the people.

Anne wandered around the door of the church with some hesitation, her obviously feudal costume was very incompatible with the foreign church and the modern girls in Western clothes.

So, Anne quickly attracted the attention of many people.

The people in the church also noticed that a brown-haired and blue-eyed woman in a nun's dress came over.

“...... I, I,"

Anne suddenly looked nervous when she saw someone walking towards her, and she didn't know if she wanted to explain why she was wandering outside the church, or if she wanted to cheer herself up.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, Anne said, "I was seriously ill before, and it was only thanks to the medicine given to me by a missionary that I was cured. The missionary told me that the Lord is omnipotent and omnipresent, and that I can come to the Lord whenever I have problems, problems, or troubles. ”

The nun smiled, her expression very soft, and she said in Chinese with a slight S dialect, "Yes, the Lord is indeed omnipotent and everywhere, this lady, please come with me." ”

The nun has seen a lot of new women who wear dresses and speak with one or two non-standard English words, and such a person, even if they carry a cross, will not become a true believer.

On the other hand, it is a traditional Oriental woman like the one in front of her, who is in trouble or confused, and as long as she follows the will of the Lord, helps the other person solve the problem, or gives guidance to the maze, this lady will become the most loyal believer.

"My name is Maria. The nun led Anne into the church and said as much as she could.

"I, my name is Wang Anni. Anne seemed to be infected by the quiet, peaceful atmosphere of the church, and was not as nervous as she had just been.

"Annie, your name is Annie?" Sister Maria was clearly misunderstood, and her expression was a little surprised.

Anne shook her head, "It's not Anne, it's Ann, Ann is the safe Ann." Neon is the neon of neon, taken from the Tang poem 'Ni is the clothes and the wind is the horse, and the kings of the clouds come down one after another', this is Li Bai's poem. ”

Maria:......

Although she has been in China for more than ten years and speaks fluent Chinese, she does not know much about those poems.

However, from Annie's explanation, she understood that the other party was not called Annie, but Annie.

"Okay, then I'll call you Ms. Wang. ”

Maria led Anne into the church, and as soon as Anne walked in, she heard the melodious sound of the piano and the choir girls singing in a crisp voice.

"They sang so well. Anne seemed to have never seen such a scene, her mouth slightly open, her eyes full of curiosity and envy.

Maria replied softly, "They all come to our church to play the piano and sing hymns every week. ”

"Is it a girls' school?"

Anne seemed very interested, and asked anxiously, "What new knowledge can they learn? Can they learn to play the piano and speak English?"

"Yes, there are many courses in our girls' school, including professional cultural classes, as well as various interest and specialty classes, such as musical instruments, foreign languages, art ......."

Maria seemed to sense Anne's desire for a female school, and she also wanted to help this lost lamb into the arms of the Lord, so she said, "Ms. Wang, our church will also recruit some volunteers to help with the girls' school, the nursery or the clinic on a regular basis, if you have time and are interested in this area—"

Before Maria could finish speaking, Anne said hurriedly, "I do, I do." But, I—I can't read, and I don't understand those foreign things, and I'm afraid—"

"It doesn't matter, none of this matters, as long as you have a charitable heart. Maria could see that Anne's family was in good condition, but she was in a state of great confusion.

Maria was often in contact with the upper class of the provincial capital, as well as the highly educated people, so it was clear that the current state of China was in a state of great contradiction.

Many so-called people of insight yearn for everything in the West, try their best to erase the traditional culture of China, and some even clamore for the banning of Chinese characters.

Those people want everything to be Westernized, but they still have feudal ideas in their bones.

For example, taking a concubine.

However, these people will also give their bastard behavior a beautiful slogan: pursue freedom and break the feudal bondage.

As a result of their pursuit of love and advocating freedom, they directly abandoned their wives and married young and beautiful foreign students.

As a nun, Maria has also seen many abandoned women, who are obviously victims, but they are attacked by public opinion.

Many people, under great pressure, have begun to place their hopes on their faith.

Such people are also the objects that their churches strive for—they have money, leisure, and a certain social status, and once they join, they are the most qualified believers.

Obviously, the lady surnamed Wang in front of her is also such a person.

Maria decides to help the poor lady, and Anne needs to teach the platform as well.

In this way, both sides were interested, and it didn't take long for Anne to become an active member of the church, and through various activities of the church, she met many celebrities and noblewomen with higher education or social status......
