So I'm a sheep.

Andrew paused for a moment, then immediately said as if nothing had happened.

"Is that so?"

"Hmph, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I bet he was expelled from the church."

Andrew's wife said with a reproachful look, "I told you to change careers years ago, but you just wouldn't listen."

"If you're a priest in that kind of shady church, you'll never be ordained."

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Andrew's eyes widened: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Let me tell you, in our city of Aran, there is no more legitimate church than the Church of Destiny!"

"How could a legitimate church change nuns every two or three months, and all of them be so beautiful?"

Andrew's wife muttered, "I don't think it's proper at all."

"Don't say that outside."

Andrew frowned: "The Church of Destiny is not as simple as you think. Be careful what you say."

"You, you're trying to scare me!"

I didn't.

You have it!

"You're being unreasonable!"

"Oh, Andrew, so you think you're so great just because you're unemployed?"

"Do you know how much I've sacrificed for this family over the years?"

"With your meager salary, your whole family would starve!"

"..."

Andrew wanted to get angry, but then he realized that his wife was absolutely right.

'So many years have passed, and all my former colleagues who followed the Sea King Society have been promoted and made a fortune, living a very happy life.'

'Only I'm stuck with a bunch of selfless angels, and I'm still living on such a meager allowance.'

Andrew's eyes stung, and he silently got up.

"I'm full. I'm going back to my room to watch TV for a while."

.................................................

"..."

"Mom, aren't you going too far!"

"Me? What did I do?"

"This is the first time I've seen Dad look so disheartened. You need to apologize to him properly later."

Emily said unhappily, "Besides, how could the Church of the Great Goddess be improper?"

"Tomorrow you will come to church with me. We will pray to Goddess for forgiveness."

"You go if you want, I'm not going."

The woman said angrily, "Are you out of your mind? Why would you believe in a goddess if you don't believe in a sea king?"

“Look at the benefits of the Sea King Society. They give rice and oil to the families of their devout believers every month.”

"The Church of Destiny is too stingy. Your father has worked for them for half his life and hasn't gotten anything in return."

Volume 1: Chapter 151 Passion

How can you say that? Faith cannot be measured by money!

"Money can be exchanged for rice and oil, and faith can... it really can, but you have to believe in the Sea King of the Sea King Society."

Just as the mother and daughter were about to start arguing, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Excuse me, is this Father Andrew's house?"

"..."

"coming!"

After opening the door, the two saw a pretty girl leading a little girl waiting outside.

Who are you?

“I am Bishop Sophia of the Church of Destiny.”

"I am Sister Sasha!"

"Your Excellency, and the nuns as well?"

"Please come in, please come in quickly."

While telling her daughter to pour them water, the woman began to berate her husband.

"Andrew's bad temper must have caused His Holiness the Bishop a lot of trouble, right?"

“I always talk about him at home, so don’t be polite to him at church either.”

"He's a cunning old fox; you have to scold him!"

"Father Andrew is a good person, it's just that I made him angry recently."

Sofia lowered her head shyly: "I haven't been in office for long, so I don't know the situation."

"I accidentally said something wrong, please forgive him."

"What? He's been hiding at home for so many days, and it turns out he wasn't expelled from the church, but was just having a tantrum with you, Your Excellency the Bishop!"

The woman's eyes widened immediately: "That good-for-nothing, I'll make him come out and apologize right now."

"No, no, it was my fault."

"I came here this time..."

"We've come specifically to invite Mr. Andrew back to the church, and also to discuss a pay raise with him," the young girl said with a smile.

A raise?

Upon hearing those two words, the hostess's smile immediately became much more genuine.

"The water's here, you two, be careful it's hot!"

"Emily, quickly cut some fruit and bring it up."

"Where's Andrew? Andrew, why aren't you out yet!"

She rushed inside, and soon Andrew was pushed out, looking rather disheveled.

"Daughter, after you've cut the fruit for the two guests, come in and watch TV for a while. Your dad has something important to discuss with the guests."

"Oh!"

...............................................

"Mr. Andrew, I'm sorry to have upset you."

"..."

Andrew glanced at the little girl but didn't say anything.

“What you said, senior, is indeed easy to misunderstand, but Mr. Andrew has known you for much longer than I have. You should know very well what kind of person she is…”

"Father Andrew, I'm sorry."

Sophia spoke up at the appropriate time, saying, "I don't think before I speak, and I don't mean to say anything against you, Father."

"Sometimes you guys are just indescribable."

Andrew finally spoke, his tone somewhat stiff.

“The church isn’t my property, and sometimes I find that very puzzling.”

"Why should I, an outsider, care more than you, the masters?"

"Ugh"

“Don’t say that, Mr. Andrew. You have worked at the Church of Destiny for more than 20 years. The church should be like your home.”

“I treat the church like my home, but the church doesn’t treat me like family.”

Andrew said with a face full of resentment, "They won't even let me eat a meal. Is this what kind of home I live in?"

Upon hearing this, Sophia blushed to the roots of her ears.

"No, that's not how it is..."

“Mr. Andrew, whether or not we eat is a minor matter.”

Sasha said earnestly, "Based on your contributions over the years, you deserve more."

"Oh?"

The little girl's words struck a chord with Andrew, and he leaned forward slightly: "Is the church planning to improve my benefits?"

"This is the amount of subsidy the church currently receives each month."

The little girl held up a number to Andrew and said with a smile, "We will take half of this money every month and give it to you as your salary."

"Of course, if the church subsidies increase in the future, I will also appropriately increase your compensation based on your daily performance, Mr. Andrew."

"..."

Andrew didn't speak for a moment, but Sasha could see the man's excitement from his unconsciously clenched fist.

"If everything is alright, Mr. Andrew, can you come back to work tomorrow?"

"Salary, will it be paid next month?" Andrew asked, trying to keep his tone calm.

"Yes."

"Oh, right. Given your recent poor performance, a small amount will be deducted from your first month's salary."

"Where did I misbehave?" Andrew's eyes widened immediately.
