Chapter 431 Encounter

Camp Lemonnier is still suffering from continuous torture, and on the South Island, the "social assistance" work organized by the church has been fully launched.

As Francis had planned before, this social assistance was not only aimed at believers, but also at ordinary people who were in trouble due to the severe economic crisis on the island.

Their aid method is also extremely simple and crude. As long as you come to the church, as long as you can prove that you are really in trouble, and as long as you sincerely pray to the Lord, the door to heaven will be open to you.

----This statement seems to be less accurate. If the local bishop says, it should be that "the Lord's blessing will be given to you."

Objectively speaking, the church’s local assistance did help a group of ordinary innocent people, but such help was obviously not simple, because when these people were brought into the church and attended the service, they were all instilled in a subtle way:

God loves you, God is helping you, but if the South Island returns, then God will abandon this land.

Under such indoctrination of ideas, whether it is true believers or those opportunists who want to overcome difficulties with the help of the church, they have to start thinking about one problem, that is:

If you really invest, isn’t it? Is it necessary to cut off the help you have finally gotten through the difficulties?

This idea continues to spread on the island, and coupled with the deliberate publicity and hype by the official executive of the South Island, religious groups, which were originally not large, have actually created considerable momentum.

Even this momentum began to be not limited to the island, but began to spread internationally. A large number of media rushed to report on the church's "righteous acts" in the South Island, as if they had made such a great contribution, but they did not mention any words of help to the people of the Cross-Strait Industrial and Commercial Association.

In their mouths, the dilemma of the South Island was temporary, caused by the deliberate attacks of certain evil forces, and as long as you believe in God, this difficulty can be easily overcome.

----This is not even just idealistic propaganda, but a real material purchase.

The attitude of the church is very clear:

If you believe in the Lord and oppose return, I will give you money and let you have food.

Few people will not miss this set, especially those at the bottom who are so green and have no judgment.

For a moment, the conflict between the Cross-Strait Industrial and Commercial Association and the Church was put on the table.

One side is a large-scale feeding that casts a wide net, and the other side is a precise help after strict research. It is obvious which side can get more support.

......

Kaohsiung.

This is the second week after Liao Guoxing received the loan from the Cross-Strait Industrial and Commercial Association. His family's life improved as soon as the funds were in place. The debt of 600,000 island coins has been paid off today. He no longer has to worry that the gang members who come to collect debts will scare their daughters, nor has to worry that the house will be forced to be taken away because they cannot afford the remaining loans from the bank, which makes him feel extremely relaxed.

Of course, there are still difficulties, just as he calculated with his wife before, the cost of care for his parents, living expenses at home, and the cost of his daughter's schooling are all heavy pressure for him, but at least, with his own abilities, this pressure is not enough to crush him.

Not only was it not enough to suppress him, but the current dilemma gave him a vague hope.

This feeling is like he encountered storms when he followed his father to sea.

Difficulties are right in front of you, and danger is right around you, but as long as you work hard, one day, he will drive this small boat through the huge waves and arrive at the final fishing ground.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

After opening the door, his wife gently took the seafood he bought from the market and asked:

"How is it? Is the work going smoothly today? Is it still the difficult client?"

Liao Guoxing nodded slightly and replied:

"It's still the same scammer. Hey, it's hard for people from the island to deal with. We sell high-tech products, and we won't be short of weight and have to be so tedious. It's not a big order, it's just a few hundred thousand. Even if it's sold and put it in my hands, it's only a few thousand yuan, making it as if I've taken advantage of him..."

Hearing Liao Guoxing’s complaint, his wife smiled and pinched his shoulder.

She didn't feel disgusted with her husband's complaints at all. In fact, when she heard it, she even felt a little joy in her heart.

Because she knew that when her husband started to show dissatisfaction with his work in front of her again, it meant that the situation was no longer that bad.

Some time ago, when he was in a dilemma with almost no way out at home, he was not as active as he is now. Every day when he entered the door, he felt a painful and silent face, which made people feel heartbroken.

Said:

"It's like this when doing sales. It's okay. Be patient. Now the savings at home are enough to support one or two months. When my father's situation is a little more stable, I will go out to work as a job, so you won't have to work so hard."

While talking, she took out all the seafood in a plastic bag and started cleaning and processing it quickly. Liao Guoxing helped her with a while, and then she rushed to the room to take care of her parents.

In fact, there is nothing to take care of. The two paralyzed elderly people spend most of their time in bed or wheelchairs. However, being able to say a few words to their sons is still beneficial to their mental recovery.

After entering the room, Liao Guoxing first chatted with his mother in the wheelchair for a few words. Seeing that the latter was in a good mood, he turned around and went to his father's room.

After a period of recovery, his father had already left his previous state that was almost equivalent to a vegetative person, and he also responded to external stimuli. He could even occasionally respond when talking to him.

Liao Guoxing sat down in front of his father's bed, reached out to hold the other person's hand, and then spoke:

"Dad, do you feel better today?"

Liao Huazhi on the bed didn't react much, and seemed to have fallen asleep, so Liao Guoxing continued to talk to himself.

"Today I went to pay off all the debts at home. I still had more than 100,000 yuan left in the loan I received from the sorority club, which is enough for the family to spend a while, so you don't have to worry."

"Although this is also a loan, it is much more cost-effective than what we took before. The interest rate is lower, so we may not have to pay it back. We have picked up the cheaper that the Labor Party has given us for nothing."

"In the past, I always felt that our problems were caused by the opposite side. This time it was really difficult to see people's hearts."

"You don't know. When you were sick, I applied for subsidies and insurance. None of them were approved. I only supported me by borrowing usury everywhere."

"The people from the Bamboo League really don't have any good things. They don't have empathy. I told them that the family difficulties made them reduce interest a little. As a result, you guess what happened, they would have to increase my interest instead!"

"Because they said that in our family, it is very likely that we will not even pay it back in the end, and the family will die and lose their debts. Lending it to us is a high risk."

"I don't know where they got this kind of experience...but judging by how skilled they look, this kind of thing should have happened many times."

"Dad, the South Island is really not as good as we thought."

"We laugh at others for their hard life every day. When something happened, we realized that we were the ones who lived a hard life."

"We couldn't see it before, but it wasn't because we didn't have it. We couldn't get in touch with those people."

"Now, this happens, and it's a lot of life."

"But when it comes to speaking, the Labor Party is much more friendly than I thought. They are rich and caring."

"When I went to get the loan a few days ago, do you know what they told me?"

"They said that if the family has any employment difficulties, they can contact them and let Axia go to work too."

"Although I don't plan to do this for the time being, Axia still has to take care of you and her mother after all, but it's really good that they can think of this."

"And, they visited the house three times. Do you know what gifts they bring every time? It's not a nutritional supplement for you."

"It's rice, flour and oil."

"So practical, right?"

"But we are really short of it... There were a few days when my bank card was left, and we almost couldn't even eat. I couldn't imagine that in this era, a family like ours would have such a day."

"The money is really not much for buying rice, flour and oil, and they don't even give much loan. Many people say it's sugar-coated shells, saying that their money is stolen from our companies and wants to lure us into betrayal."

"But Dad, the people in the Executive Yuan don't even reimburse us for medical expenses. They give us rice. Even if it's snatched it, it's still... to rob the rich and help the poor?"

After a pause, he continued:

"So, Dad, I may really be in the same position this time. You can't speak now, so I'll just treat you as accusation."

"The Executive Yuan doesn't care about our lives or death, so I have to... whoever cares about me will vote for me."

After saying that, Liao Guoxing sighed deeply, let go of his father's hand and walked out of the room.

However, when he walked into the living room, he was suddenly stunned.

At the door of the living room was a priest wearing a black priest's uniform, while his wife stood inside the door, listening to the other party's mission in a crooked manner, and behind her were the staff of the sorority who came to visit the door.

Now, the two opponents collided together today.

Seeing Liao Guoxing coming, the staff shook his head quietly, and the pastor said:
Chapter completed!
