"I love to eat! I love to eat!"
Katyusha's eyes brightened slightly.
"How is the construction of the church progressing?"
Yuan Hua picked up the steamed bun and took a bite.
"The building is almost finished; all that's left is the interior decoration."
Katyusha leaned on Yuan Hua's shoulder.
Do nuns receive a salary?
Yuan Hua held the little white rabbit in one hand and rested the other hand on the sofa.
"Salary? None."
Katyusha shook her head.
"Have you always been working for love?"
Yuan Hua's hands kept twitching, his mind constantly in deep thought...
“We haven’t been promoted to clergy yet; we will be after we are promoted.”
Katyusha sighed.
"The prerequisite for becoming a clergyman is to be at least a fourth-order priest or a fourth-order paladin, which will take a long time."
"Don't be discouraged, you're already at level three."
Yuan Hua put his hands inside his collar.
"Besides, if you're with me, will you ever lack money?"
“It’s different. After being promoted to a clergy member, you’ll be a nun within the system. That’s a dream, and the sooner you get it, the more honorable it will be. Just think about it, when I’m out and about, people will point and whisper about me, saying, ‘This young girl is already a nun within the system at such a young age.’ How prestigious that would be for me. The money isn’t important at all.”
This isn't about vying for power; being a clergy member is simply an honor, but this honor is definitely more prestigious than being a hero. It certainly carries weight. Katyusha is still quite young, so it's understandable that she enjoys being the center of attention.
"Have you noticed that your cultivation level has increased a little bit after we have a deeper conversation?"
Yuan Hua raised an eyebrow and squeezed the little white rabbit until it was deformed...
"Hiss—it seems there is such a thing..."
Katyusha turned to look at Yuan Hua, stopping her chewing motion.
Chapter 71 Ginger's Promise
"I'll take breakfast up to your sister first, otherwise you'll eat it all if I don't leave some for her."
Yuan Hua picked up the breakfast on the table and got up to go upstairs.
"I don't know if my sister is awake yet. Why don't you go up and check? I'm not sure."
Katyusha was still considering the possibility of advancing to the fourth rank of priest by doing that kind of thing.
……
“Lilan, I’m not up yet.”
Yuan Hua tiptoed into the bedroom, where Li Lan was already awake and sitting on the edge of the bed.
Good morning, Mr. Yuan Hua.
"Good morning, I brought you breakfast. Eat quickly, your body will recover faster if you eat a full meal."
Yuan Hua placed the breakfast on the small table by the bedside.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Lilan nodded slightly...
"How can the word 'generous' be used to describe a family?"
Yuan Hua placed the soy milk in Li Lan's hand, and also took out steamed buns, shumai, and tea eggs from the bag.
"In my hometown, breakfast is very important. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it must be nutritionally balanced."
"If possible, I would like to go with you to see the Eastern countries."
Lilan's voice was very soft and soothing.
“I’ve never traveled far in my life. Dinglan Village is the farthest I’ve ever been. I still look forward to the outside world, but I can’t leave because nuns have their own duties.”
"Then I really have to take you out for a walk."
Yuan Hua felt a little reluctant. Faith is a matter of freedom. If the Goddess of Light is a normal deity without psychological problems, she shouldn't force her followers to stay in a magnificent golden cage all day long.
"After becoming clergy, you will have annual leave, such as a few days off per year."
"Yes, but ordinary clergy members cannot take too long of consecutive leave."
Lilan took a small sip of soy milk.
“When we normally ask for leave, we first have to write to the nearest church branch to apply for someone to come and take over the church. As you know, people often go to the church to pray, so the church can’t be left unattended.”
“I’m worried about leaving Katyusha here alone. She can’t even memorize the Bible of the God of Light, so it’s a bit unrealistic to entrust the work of prayer to her.”
"Haha... there's such a saying..."
Yuan Hua's lips twitched slightly...
"Things will be much better from now on. I'm almost at the fourth level of priesthood. Once I'm promoted to clergy, the church will send more nuns over."
Lilan tilted her head back and drank the soy milk in her hand in one gulp.
"You're drinking too fast. These are the foods that are important."
Yuan Hua placed the freshly peeled egg in Li Lan's hand; the two of them did indeed have the air of newlyweds.
"It's okay, I'm almost full."
Lilan put the tea egg into her mouth, and the rich aroma of tea immediately filled her mouth.
"I've almost recovered, Yuan Hua. Can you carry me downstairs to sit for a bit? I don't want to stay in bed all the time."
……
After spending time with Katyusha and Lilan, Yuan Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead.
We still can't do without air conditioning. We'll have to spend some money to have a cooling spell drawn on it in the next couple of days. I just don't know if there are any magicians in the village who can draw cooling spells.
If not, then we'll have to ask Dani. Dani also knows magic, so if she crams and learns some cooling spells, she should be able to draw it quickly.
Why doesn't Yuan Hua learn it himself?
Because he's lazy.
……
"Aunt Ginger, I've come to find Tulips."
Yuan Hua placed the skincare products he had prepared in advance in front of Jin Jisi.
"Is Tulip at home?"
"She's at home, sleeping in upstairs. You can go find her yourself, haha."
Jin Jisi accepted the skincare products from Yuan Hua with a smile on her face.
"Auntie's skin has improved a lot."
Yuan Hua sat down next to Jin Jisi and looked her up and down.
"Really? You're so good with words, haha~"
Ginger was delighted.
"Can I feel it?"
Yuan Hua dropped all pretense, pulled a gold coin from his pocket, and inserted it directly into Jin Jisi's cleavage.
"Yuan Hua, what are you saying? Auntie isn't a petty person. Do you need to ask Auntie about this? Just ask for it directly, isn't that enough?"
Jinjisi accepted the gold coin with a smile, and intentionally or unintentionally straightened her posture, making her cleavage appear longer.
"Haha, Auntie, you've worked so hard. You've given birth to such a wonderful daughter. It's time for you to enjoy your retirement."
Yuan Hua pulled out two more gold coins, and Jin Jisi's eyes widened in astonishment...
She had long suspected that her daughter, Tulip, had grown up with Yuan Hua's help, presumably through financial support.
What a good son-in-law! How about your mother-in-law becomes your mistress?
Wait a minute, could my daughter be that mistress...?
Ginger's thoughts are chilling...
However, Jin Jisi didn't hold a grudge. In this chaotic era, living well was the most important thing. She used to believe in love, but she was still hurt by love. Now she was almost forty and was a well-known left-behind woman in the village. Countless bachelors coveted her beauty, but her husband was always out having affairs and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
"Yuan Hua, do you know?"
Jin Jisi grabbed Yuan Hua's hand.
"Being beautiful is a sin. A beautiful woman without anyone to protect her will inevitably encounter 90% of different types of bastards on her path to adulthood. The idea of being a vulnerable group is not just empty talk. We do not have the ability to prevent being plundered, so we can only try to use our only advantage of our looks to give ourselves to others."
"You'll meet many girls, some more capable than Tulip, some more beautiful. I only ask one thing of you: treat her well. Even if you become her mistress, don't let her be bullied."
Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern. Ginger, who was completely focused on the tulip, looked exceptionally pitiful at this moment.
"..."
Yuan Hua stared blankly at Jin Jisi, feeling for the first time how pessimistic the world could be.
"The tailor shop is just a tool for my daughter and me to survive, while Tulip is my everything. I have nothing left to lose except her. In this damned era, what could be more devastating than having a daughter?"
Jin Jisi placed her hand on Yuan Hua's hand, her eyes filled with a pleading look.
"Auntie doesn't plan to remarry. If Tulip isn't pretty enough, then how about adding me to the mix..."
After saying that, Ginger took out a photo from the drawer, which showed what she looked like when she was young.
"Auntie, there's no need to go to such lengths."
Yuan Hua immediately lost his flirtatious intentions and moved his clumsy hand away.
