I'm the fourth calamity, but they call me a saint

It has been three days since I came to the Twilight Church.

These days have been very dull. Cheng Ma, who is in charge of the choir, taught them to read the church's gospel books at the beginning, and then to memorize the hymns praising truth, goodness, and beauty. Today, they have started to learn to read music.

Life in the church is indeed much better than the laborers in other places in Yuguang. In order to maintain cleanliness and hygiene, Li Wei and his friends are required to take a shower every day, and they eat food that ordinary laborers cannot taste.

Li Wei and the three boys in the same dormitory are basically familiar with each other. During the lunch break that day, one of the boys even asked them to take this time to go to the cemetery behind the church to sweep the graves.

His grandparents were buried there. Usually his parents were very busy in the factory and had no time to go to the grave to mourn.

The other two boys in the same dormitory agreed to go with him, but Li Wei didn't want to leave the church casually.

In the past two days, the police department and Yu Guang Labor Union conducted a carpet search of all the blocks. Even though the church had a figure like the bishop to support it, it was still checked twice.

Although Li Wei and Feng Zi were not arrested twice, Li Wei would never take unnecessary risks if he could be careful.

Besides, he had never thought about how well he would get along with the three roommates in the dormitory. Later, he and Feng Zi would definitely make a big fuss. Now the better the relationship with the people around him, the more harm they would suffer.

During the lunch break, Li Wei did not go to find Feng Zi, and let the cripple go to the church's public library to find books. Instead, he sat on the bench in the hall and watched the boy named Wang Xiaole doing his daily cleaning work.

"Who is Cheng Ma to you?"

Li Wei asked casually.

In the past few days, he also found out who the relative who took care of Wang Xiaole was.

When the boy who was sweeping the floor with a broom heard this question, his body was obviously tense. He raised his head nervously and looked at Li Wei. He didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly.

"Why do you ask this?"

Levi raised his eyebrows.

"I just saw her talking to you privately last night. If it's private, forget it. I'm just curious and don't mean any harm."

Out of a child's intuition, Wang Xiaole felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity from Li Wei, especially the voice, although he was sure that he didn't recognize this face at all.

But it was also because of this close familiarity that he believed Li Wei's words and felt that the other party really had no ill intentions.

"Madame Cheng is my aunt. If possible, please keep it a secret for me. She doesn't want people to know about my relationship with her."

"Why is that? She didn't let you join the choir through the back door. What's there to hide?"

Wang Xiaole put down the broom. He looked like a sullen and bullied person all the time, and sat next to Li Wei.

"Mrs. Cheng doesn't like children. I really don't have any other relatives. I can only come to the church to find her and ask her to agree to be my guardian until I am old enough to get an ID card and go to work in the factory."

When Yu Guang wanted to become a laborer and earn hard-earned money in the factory, there was also a corresponding age limit.

You must be 14 years old to apply for an ID card, but the guardian must sign the application for an ID card, otherwise you will become an illegal resident if you can't get an ID card.

So Wang Xiaole had to find a legal guardian for himself after his parents died.

"Where are your other relatives?"

"My father died of illness when I was very young, and my mother worked alone in the factory to raise me. But those foremen kept looking for her. They came to my house and tied my hands with ropes and tied them to the door to prevent me from running around, and then closed the door to bully my mother."

Wang Xiaole's voice was very calm. He seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time and didn't feel how sad this matter was.

"My mother had a problem with her brain. Sometimes she would suddenly hug me and say that she saw my father, who was holding a dog and biting all the bad guys to death, and then took us to live a good life. The neighbor's wife, Mrs. Wang, said she was crazy, but my mother always said that she was not crazy, but everyone else was crazy."

"I was very scared and wanted her to come to the church to see the pastor, but she didn't dare to ask for leave because she thought the factory would fire her. Then last month, she died in the coal mine. I heard that she died of exhaustion."

"After my mother died, I don't know if I have any other relatives except Aunt Cheng. Mom... She also helped arrange my mother's grave in the church. I came to her with the remaining money at home. I could give her all the money as long as she promised to support me and not let me become an illegal resident in the future. "

"My mother was very afraid that I would become an illegal resident, because it was much harder for an illegal resident to survive than a normal laborer. She was also afraid that I would be physically disabled. She believed in Twilight and always felt that if my body was damaged, I would not be complete even if I entered Twilight in the future."

It seemed that he had finally found someone to talk to. A simple question from Li Wei made him open up and tell all his experiences.

But it was obvious that Wang Xiaole also knew what to say and what not to say. For example, the "remaining money at home" was most likely the compensation that Li Wei had asked for him and other families of workers. He kept his mouth shut about this.

After listening to him, Li Wei suddenly didn't know what to say.

He was just a little bit curious. The boy got the compensation from him. After that, could he, a child, keep the money in such a bad environment as Yu Guang?

Unexpectedly, he didn't think of leaving the money for himself at the beginning, but used it to seek a chance to survive in this shabby society.

From the contact in the past two days, Li Wei could see that Cheng Ma was obviously a profit-seeking character. She would take special care of some children, and they were all given money by their families.

Wang Xiaole asked her to be a guardian, and the compensation of 21,000 yuan would probably be given away at least half.

In the end, Li Wei could only say in a tone that was not sure whether it was comforting or persuading.

"Now that you have come to the church, your life will get better in the future."

The boy clenched the broom in his hand, he laughed and nodded vigorously.

"Of course!"

Just as Li Wei got up and was about to end the slightly depressing chat during lunch break, a hurried footsteps suddenly came from the back of the church.

He turned around and saw his three roommates who were visiting the cemetery in the back mountain. They were pale and nervous and were surrounded by a group of faculty members and taken to the hall.

"Tell me clearly! How did you find out that all the graves in the cemetery were empty!"
