Huiyun said worriedly:

"Master, the Salesian Hall is full of babies who are only one or two months old, and some are just a few days old. It takes too much manpower!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid that when more and more people know about it, everyone in our temple will have to take care of the child! This will seriously affect the daily training in the temple."

It’s not that she has no sympathy, but before that, she has to protect the interests of Cihang Temple first.

The daily training of Cihang Temple is directly related to the improvement of the self-protection ability of the entire Cihang Temple.

We cannot allow the kindness of some people to drag down the entire Cihang Temple.

Logically, these words should be said by Hui'an, the person in charge of the Discipline Hall.

It happened that the one who insisted on taking in these baby girls was Hui'an, who also said that the temple master had no objection to this.

Huiyun couldn't bear to watch it.

Since Hui'an wants to be a good person, let her step forward and be the bad guy.

What made her angry was that even though she had explained the impact of this incident, Hui'an still looked compassionate:

"There's nothing we can do about it. If it wasn't a baby, why would it be thrown into our Cihang Temple? As long as it can walk and run, it will be sold for silver."

Huiyun pursed her lips and said firmly:

"The Salesian Church cannot provide any benefit to our temple. We must immediately control the number of people admitted!"

"Master, I think it would be better to send people to take turns to guard outside. For those who secretly bring babies here, as long as the parents are not so weak, they should all be sent back."

"Otherwise, if this continues, there will be more than just these few children sent here, but hundreds or even thousands of them. That will directly drag down the Cihang Temple!"

The fact that the parents were not in poor health meant that the family had enough food. If that was the case, why should Cihang Temple help them raise their children?

If this trend is not curbed at the very beginning, in the future, not only those who are too poor to have any other options, but also families who wanted to have sons but gave birth to daughters would send their children to Cihang Temple.

A woman will continue to give birth throughout her life as long as her body is able to do so.

The probability of having a boy or a girl is 50-50.

But most families simply cannot afford to raise so many children.

Given the population density near Nandu, it is possible to send hundreds or even thousands of baby girls.

Raising a few is indeed not a problem, but what if there are hundreds or thousands?

Huijing, who was originally filled with righteous indignation, said weakly:

“But if we don’t take them in, they will probably just abandon the babies on the road or drown them at birth.”

"It was their last act of kindness to travel such a long way to send the child to Cihang Temple."

Huiyun was silent for a moment.

Finally, he said hard:

“We can’t save everyone.”

Chen Qingzhu coughed lightly, interrupting the argument.

"Okay, let's not get upset over this."

She looked at Huiyun and said:

"I do agree to this."

Huiyun looked at her in surprise.

Chen Qingzhu said:

"Huiyun, I know you are doing this for the good of the temple. It was my fault that I didn't arrange this matter properly and inform everyone in advance."

This is meant as an apology.

Huiyun was wholeheartedly thinking about Cihang Temple, and she couldn't let her down.

Huiyun's expression eased slightly, but she felt a little embarrassed:

"I don't blame the master."

Chen Qingzhu nodded:

"It's not as serious as you think."

"As Huijing said, being able to travel such a long way to send the child to Cihang Temple is already a sign of some compassion for the child. For a newborn baby girl with no feelings, the number of people who have this kind of compassion is not as high as you think."

Although this is sad, it is the truth.

Cihang Temple is located on a mountain with winding mountain roads. It is within a day's walking distance for the common people living within the area to send their children here.

The maximum distance is within thirty miles.

If it’s farther away, I’m afraid it will delay things.

A woman who has just given birth does not have the ability to walk so far even if she wants to.
