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

Sun Xianrui pulled Zhang Tinglan's sleeve, with a beaming face, and was about to go inside, when suddenly a group of people surrounded him at the gate of the church. As soon as they saw the guards coming, they all dodged a path.

At this time, in the middle of the crowd, a woman in her thirties was crying loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all give a judgment, they took my son away, I want to take a look, they don't agree, is there still this truth in this world?" ”

"Hmph, you dead mother-in-law, you still have the face to say to look at your son, it was you who abandoned your son in the first place, and the priest of the church kindly took him in, you don't want a son yourself, what qualifications do you have to come to see him!" A guy in his twenties who looked like a thug screamed loudly.

Several of his companions also sneered, grabbed the woman's clothes, and were about to drag them outside, the woman struggled desperately, and said to the people around her: "The little woman abandoned her son and was forced to helpless, now I want to look at him, what's wrong, don't you have children, why don't you know the mind of being a parent?" ”

"Hmph, dead woman, this is a church, a place for foreigners, if you deliberately make trouble again, we are welcome."

While he was talking, suddenly the door of the church opened, and a tall foreign priest walked out quickly, followed by several nuns. When a few thugs saw that the master came out, they didn't know the situation, and they were all stunned, but the master didn't pay attention to them and walked directly in front of Zhang Tinglan.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm Andrew, the person in charge here. It is our pleasure to have you come to Lund Church in person. ”

"Father Andrew, I beg your pardon for your presumptuousness."

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

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

Zhang Tinglan's face sank suddenly: "Xianrui." Don't talk nonsense, we come to the church to pray for blessings, don't talk about other things, don't hurry up to Father Daoqian! ”

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

In the middle of Andrew's speech. The woman suddenly crawled over, hugged Zhang Tinglan's thigh, and cried and said, "This chief, and the lady, please, talk to them." Let me go in and see my son, I just want to see him, just one look! ”

When Sun Xianrui heard the words Mrs., his face immediately turned red. Hurriedly said: "This sister, I am not a lady, you better tell me what is going on with yourself, if it is reasonable, this priest will not stop you." ”

Zhang Tinglan glared at Sun Xianrui again: "Nosy, isn't there anything serious when we come to the church?" There are so many unruly people in this world who slander priests and blackmail churches. ”

"In that case, let's make it clear, and return the church to innocence, why make such a fuss?" Sun Xianrui was not convinced, tilted his little head, and argued with Zhang Tinglan.

When they said this, Andrew was forced into a corner, and the priest could only pretend to be calm and say, "Well, let this lady explain what happened to her, and the merciful Lord will help you!" ”

The woman trembled, barely got up from the ground, and then sobbed and said: "Two months ago, the little woman was left in the streets of Mukden with her seven-year-old son, without food or shelter, and when she met the people of the church, I had no choice but to give the child to them. Later, I found a textile factory, worked in it, and worked overtime day and night, and I thought that if I had money, I would bring my son back. The day before yesterday I received two months' salary, bought my son's favorite snacks and fruits, and bought gifts for the gentleman at the church, and came to see my son in high spirits. ”

At this point, the woman picked up a package on the ground, which contained a lot of snacks, but it had been trampled, and the woman cried, "But these church people let me in at all, and sent out thugs, and they began to coax me, and when they saw that I had not left, they came up and beat me." I just want to see my child, I'm sorry for him, I don't want to be separated from him, and I'm forced to be helpless! ”

The people around also heard the reason clearly, what this woman said was reasonable, but she was beaten by the church thugs, everyone looked at Andrew's expression a little weird, this church is too unkind!

Andrew doesn't care about the opinions of ordinary people, but Zhang Tinglan and they arrived, 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 all kinds of things, in the face of God-given opportunities, they can't let such a crazy woman be ruined.

Therefore, Andrew said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, there are rules for the church to adopt children, they don't want their own children anymore, so they can't bring them back, and the church will arrange a more lifeful life for those children, people who are really kind and capable come back to adopt them." ”

"Mr. Priest, this is a bit of a strong argument, no matter how good an outsider is, can he be better than his mother? This lady didn't have the ability to raise her son at the beginning, but now that she has a job and can earn money, there must be no problem in raising her son. ”

When they came, Sun Xianrui and Zhang Tinglan did a good job of division of labor, one sang with a red face, the other sang with a white face, this little girl was also very sharp when she spoke, which attracted onlookers to applaud.

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

When the woman heard this, she immediately sat down on the ground and cried: "Hu'er, why is my mother's life so bitter, I can't even see each other, how can I still live!" ”

"This sister, don't cry anymore, this guy is lying, their church has a rule, you have to raise the child in the church for three months first, help the child recover his body, confirm that there is no disease, and then he can be adopted, your time is less than three months, and the child cannot be taken away!"

Sun Xianrui has specially inspected the church and is very clear about their regulations, and Sun Xianrui still particularly admired this adoption rule at the beginning. Many homeless children have hidden diseases, and their physical condition is also poor, and if they are taken in rashly, they are likely to suffer from serious illness or 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, and the people around listened to the excitement, and they all followed suit.

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

"Human affection can't be extinguished, you can't stop it!"

"Is there something wrong with the child, so you don't dare to let people see it, these foreigners don't have good things."

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

……

The people below were clamoring, and there were more and more people, Andrew's face was a little sweaty, but Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Father Andrew, occasionally I remember wrong, but it is also understandable, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." Let's go to the church and talk first, this shouting will not lead to anything, and I have something to do with you. ”

"Alright, please come in."

Andrew led the way and invited Zhang Tinglan in, and Sun Xianrui and the woman followed closely, and 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's convenient, can you let this woman go find her child, and we'll talk about something serious." ”

Andrew saw that Zhang Tinglan spoke, and he couldn't object, so he had to nod: "There are many children adopted by the church, maybe they have been taken away, or they may still stay here, but there is one thing, we will definitely treat every child well." ”

Sun Xianrui dragged the woman to find her son, while Zhang Tinglan smiled and said, "Mr. Priest, I don't know how many years you have been in China?" ”

"I came to China in 1908, and it has been 12 years, and during this time, I have always adhered to the teachings of the Lord, loving others, and helping all those in need, and there have been tens of thousands of street children adopted before and after."

"Well, I have long heard that the church is a place of mercy, my father has occasionally been conspired against, life and death are uncertain, there is really no way for the son of man, I can only think of praying for blessings, so that his old man can recover as soon as possible, but I don't believe in those temples in China that cheat money, 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 stop thinking about it in his heart, although Zhang Tinglan said that Zhang Zuoxiang's life and death were uncertain, but he was actually forced to the point of begging for gods, it can be seen that this person is about to be saved, and Andrew's heart is also surging with a trace of pride.

However, it may not be enough to kill the old handsome, it is better to kill the young man in front of him quietly, then it will be more perfect.

Just when this guy was moving his ghost eyes, Sun Xianrui led the woman and led a six or seven-year-old child and walked over quickly.

When the woman arrived in front of Zhang Tinglan, she fell to her knees, hugged her son, and kowtowed to Zhang Tinglan.

"Thank you, sir, our mother and son can zaijian face, thank you for your great kindness!"

"You're welcome, it's not right that you abandoned your own children, so don't pester the priest anymore!"

Zhang Tinglan said as soon as he reached out to pull a child, the little boy suddenly hid his hand behind his back as if he had been electrocuted, shook his head violently, and cried loudly, squeezing into his mother's arms, like a frightened little beast, and the fear in his eyes deeply stung Zhang Tinglan.
