Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!
Chapter 94 Going Out to Act (2)
The Church of Saint Wisdom is the only church in Juecheng and also the largest church. It was built with funds from the four major families and other wealthy merchants.
Most people in the North Continent believe in the existence of the Lord and worship Him.
Noah did not believe in the existence of the Lord; he believed that everything was achieved through one's own efforts and that one could not obtain anything by pleading with the Lord.
He donated a considerable amount of money to the church simply because of the people's faith.
Thanks to the support of the four major families, the church was well-fed and clothed, and even had extra money to send bread to the poor who couldn't afford to eat every day.
The bread provided by the church was not very tasty; it was made with the cheapest wheat flour, had no extra sugar, and was bland and hard to swallow.
But its advantage lies in its cleanliness, and for those who have nothing to eat, it is food that can fill their stomachs, so dozens of people come to collect bread every day.
However, this situation changed when Qi Yuan set up the restaurant's tasting booth inside the church.
The church courtyard was almost completely filled with people.
Some people who had received both bread and dumplings left the church happily, while some children began to enjoy the food on the spot.
The children ate the bread in their hands first. The bread was hard to swallow and they choked. So they grabbed the snow next to them and stuffed it into their mouths, not caring whether there were fallen leaves or dirt on the snow.
They will only eat dumplings after they have finished their bread.
It was freezing cold. The dumplings were still warm when we got them, but they were frozen solid after we finished eating the bread. But the children still ate them happily. After eating the hard-to-swallow and tasteless bread, eating the pork and cabbage dumplings was like eating a delicacy. They were very satisfied.
This scene was seen by Qi Yuan from his warm room through the window. It was snowing again outside. The people who were receiving food were not afraid of the cold wind at all, just to get a loaf of bread and four dumplings.
"Honey, what are you looking at?"
Noah noticed that Qi Yuan's gaze was fixed on the window, so he looked out the window as well.
My gaze followed the children sitting under the eaves eating dumplings.
“They looked only a year or two older than Petty,” Noah said.
Qi Yuan nodded. "It is very small."
“Honey, I remember you became an orphan around this age too.”
In another world, Qi Yuan was actually abandoned at birth, but in this world, it happened after his parents died. Qi Yuan recalled the original owner's memories and nodded.
"Yes."
“Sigh, ever since Patty came along, I can’t bear to see children suffer. Why don’t we build an orphanage and take in orphans without parents?” Noah asked.
"There are no orphanages in Juecheng?" Qi Yuan asked.
“The orphanage has to support a group of orphans without parents, and it costs a lot of money every day. No one is willing to spend money to do such a thankless task. But the Davis family can do it.”
Noah was somewhat smug; with the Davis family's wealth, building ten orphanages would be a piece of cake.
Qi Yuan thought it was a good idea and was about to speak when the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and the church bishop entered.
The bishop was an elderly man with white hair. When he saw Noah, he approached him with a fawning and respectful expression. "Mr. Noah, it's been a long time. What brings you to the church today?"
"Nothing much, just came to see how my darling's tasting booth is doing here," Noah said casually, sounding like he was just browsing out of boredom.
The bishop turned his head to look out the window and smiled, "Very good. Ever since Mr. Qi Yuan set up his tasting stall here, many people have come to get food every day, and even many children have come."
"Are all those children orphans?" Noah asked.
"No, their parents go out to work during the day and don't have time to look after their children, so they call their children to play here at the church. We have nuns here who will play with the children."
Noah's lips curled up slightly. "The children look so dirty. Are there really nuns who would play with them?"
"I swear in the name of the Lord that the monks and nuns in the church will treat all of the Lord's children equally and will lend a helping hand to those who are in trouble," the bishop said devoutly and earnestly.
Noah was not surprised by this explanation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I remember there is a three-story house in the backyard of the church, which is currently vacant."
"Yes."
“Let’s transform it into a place where children can play and rest. Just name your price,” Noah said generously.
The bishop's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Mr. Noah, you are truly kind-hearted. May the Lord bless you forever."
"This donation was made in A Yuan's name. My darling is truly kind-hearted." As he spoke, Noah's gaze fell on Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan looked up, somewhat surprised.
The bishop then quickly said to Qi Yuan, "Mr. Qi Yuan is indeed kind. He gives so much food to children and those in need every day for free, letting them taste different kinds of delicious food. The Lord will always protect your kindness."
This was the first time Qi Yuan had experienced this kind of culture. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Thank you."
Noah smiled. "Alright, we should go now. Bishop, you can go about your business."
"Yes."
Noah led Qi Yuan out of the room. Before leaving, he had the bodyguards who were with him donate another sum of money to the church.
The bishop was overjoyed to receive the money.
Leaving the room, Qi Yuan asked, "Why did you donate money to the church in my name?"
"They're rich."
Noah's answer left Qi Yuan speechless, because he felt like he had asked, "Why do you want to eat?" and the other person replied, "I'm hungry."
In Noah's eyes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all, so asking him why he should give money is really unnecessary.
But Qi Yuan asked this question: why did Noah go around portraying him as a kind and good person?
“If you have money, keep it for yourself. Don’t always use my name to do this or that,” Qi Yuan said.
Noah was about to speak when he heard a voice call out, "Noah, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Upon hearing this voice, Noah's eyes and expression immediately turned serious and cold.
He changed his expression completely from when he was with Qi Yuan, turned around and looked at the person who appeared behind him, and smiled: "What a coincidence, Uncle, what are you doing here?"
“I had nothing to do, so I just wandered around,” Ryan said. “The factory in the western suburbs was destroyed in an explosion, and the current factory is being rebuilt. I don’t have a position in the company, so I just wander around to kill time.”
“Really? But I heard that you used to go to Chad’s office quite often, and sometimes you would go back to your old office to sit,” Noah said.
Ryan smiled calmly, "It's just because I'm too free and have nothing to do, so I wander around. Besides, even if I go there, no one would dare to give me anything to do; I'll just sit and relax."
