Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 768 - 15 Reorganization and Transformation of Qianjin Church

Wang Yunxiao has no idea what state Li Mumu is in right now.

If there’s still no movement in a few days, he plans to go in and take a look.

He can’t just let Eldest Miss Li’s corpse rot inside.

On Friday evening, as usual, he went to Cui Xiaoying’s house to pick up the little witch for "work".

He coincided with Cui Xiaoying getting off school, and the two of them cooked dinner at home.

Uesugi Risa is a curious baby, interested in everything she sees and wanting to eat everything she sees.

Cui Xiaoying made a pot of pork stewed with dried green beans, and she ate three large bowls with her rice.

When Wang Yunxiao sat down to eat, he noticed several machines placed in the corner of the room.

He wasn’t clear about what the other items were for, but he recognized one of them as a manual bullet press.

Originally, Veronica had recommended that he find Cui Xiaoying to produce the Church’s exclusive Demon-Breaking Bullets, but due to various delays, this matter had not yet been settled.

Now that there was an extra pair of hands at home, and especially a curious and active little helper, Cui Xiaoying had put this task back on the schedule. The two of them spent the evenings at home, diligently making bullets.

Of course, there was another reason for this.

"The Church is preparing to dissolve."

During dinner, Cui Xiaoying chatted casually with Wang Yunxiao and brought up the matter.

Qianjin Church itself was a peculiar existence. As the only legally registered and authorized Western Sect to proselytize domestically, these nuns rapidly expanded the Church into a colossal entity within just over a decade, relying on their advanced theories.

With their own independent armed forces, a stable and enormous source of funding, unimaginable internal unity, and organizational coordination abilities... It was quite incredible to others that they didn’t revolt.

Of course, the Church herself was aware of these issues and always kept a low profile, quietly making a fortune.

But today, its historic mission was finally coming to an end.

In the current era of national reformation and innovation, the new government vigorously pursued societal system reforms. The remnants of the old era, if unable to adapt to the needs of the new era, could only be thrown into the trash and uniformly destroyed.

"All the textile factories under the Church’s name will be nationalized and placed under the unified arrangement and dispatch of the Industrial Committee. The battle nuns trained within the Church will become part of the Special Service Bureau’s system. Nuns willing to stay can continue to maintain their faith and church, but active recruitment of new followers is not allowed."

Cui Xiaoying pointed to the machines in the corner with her chopsticks: "These machines were originally going to be scrapped, but I felt they could still be useful, so I had someone move them back here."

Wang Yunxiao laughed and said, "Why hire someone? Couldn’t you have asked me? I’ve got plenty of strong labor on hand."

Cui Xiaoying paused for a moment, seemingly thinking of something, then suddenly asked, "Do any of your young brothers have thoughts of settling down? I could introduce them to some nice girls."

Some?

Wang Yunxiao immediately perked up: "Tell me more, what’s this about?"

"You also know that there are many female workers in the factory, and in the past, they faced a lot of societal pressure when they came out to work. Some were even confronted by their families at the factory."

Cui Xiaoying sighed and said, "In the past, with the Church’s protection, those young girls didn’t have to worry about family and societal pressures and could earn money with peace of mind. But now with this situation... although the Church has also promised to continue providing help, everyone’s confidence isn’t as strong now."

"Some girls who dare not return home, or simply have no home at all, have already been discussing in secret and preparing to find a new way to make a living...but in these times, there are not that many ways to make a living, which ultimately comes down to getting married and having children. Those young and inexperienced girls are easily deceived."

This is indeed a problem.

There were already signs that the Church was going to be disbanded.

State policies are not formulated on a whim; they are definitely the result of repeated discussions and research.

The Church had been hearing rumors about it for some time.

As an outsider, Wang Yunxiao didn’t understand the ins and outs, and only knew that Veronica had been incredibly busy recently.

At Qinghe Middle School, when the new semester started, a group of Nuns also took off their habits and entered the school to study.

And the machines that Cui Xiaoying had moved back in... She said they were to be scrapped, but Wang Yunxiao didn’t believe a word of it. Could a machine like a bullet-stamping press really be something that a young widow could play with?

In plain terms, the Church had already started breaking down into smaller pieces a few months ago, arranging their own way out.

And the girls’ concerns were not unfounded, as these factories had been Church property and were now becoming state-owned, and no one knew what the newly parachuted-in leaders and supervisors were planning. If anything went wrong, it wouldn’t be so easy to seek help from the Church anymore.

Human hearts are complex, and the path slippery; those trivial rights and wrongs are not so easy to clearly discern.

"If you don’t want to keep working in the factory, have you thought about starting a small business or something?"

After some thought, Wang Yunxiao tentatively suggested: "Look, the new campus and commercial street next to us will be completed soon, you might consider getting into some small business, like clothing or catering."

You say you want to introduce a wife to my brother, of course, I’m happy, but we can’t be so blunt about it, making us seem like human traffickers. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

If there’s a suitable girl, find a reason to bring her into our fold first, then slowly nurture the relationship.

Cui Xiaoying, oblivious to Wang Yunxiao’s complex thoughts, thought about it seriously and shook her head: "It’s indeed a path, but those girls who haven’t had formal education have no initiative of their own, they can’t manage it themselves."

"How about I go with you to the Church this weekend and talk to Veronica?"

"That’s fine."

Uesugi Risa had been quietly eating her meal all this time, and only after their conversation did she look up curiously and ask, "Do all women here have to go out to work and earn money?"

Wang Yunxiao and Cui Xiaoying exchanged glances, at a loss for words for a moment.

"Oops... Sorry, did I ask something taboo?"

"It’s not a taboo question. In the past, indeed many people didn’t want women to be in the public eye, for cultural reasons, social environmental reasons, and also because men themselves could hardly find jobs outside, let alone women."

Cui Xiaoying patiently explained: "There are two reasons for women to go out to work. One is that modern factories require a large workforce, and the other is that women need to control their own economic resources to protect their rights from being violated. Relying solely on Church protection, we could exhaust ourselves and still not be able to help every woman in the world."

"Hmm..."

The full little Witch now entered Sage mode, wanting to ponder the philosophy of life, but without enough blood supply to the brain to sustain such deep thinking, so she appeared particularly dazed.

She didn’t understand a word.
