Turn it, turn it. Left, left, left. The other way.
How does Jeanne plan to support the poor and elderly?
They want these. Please be careful moving that bed frame, monsieur. It's fragile. We're always careful, madame. We appreciate your help. Oh, Zhen, after all our hard work cleaning up this place, we're finally moving in!
God is good, Fengsheng. Zhen, where should I put this cooking pot? Set it on the table for now, Marie. Thank you. Where's Madeleine?
Bringing in the linens. I'm off to the kitchen. I want to make sure everything's put in the right place. But I'm still worried, Zhen. This place is perfect, but what if we can't pay for it?
What if— Excuse me. Yes? Is Madame Zhen Zhugan here? That's Zhen. I'll be in the kitchen. How can I help you? My name is Brother Remy. I belong to the Brothers of St. John of God.
Oh yes, I've heard of your order.
What is the significance of the begging basket in Jeanne's mission?
You work with the sick. Please, come in.
Thank you. We've heard about your work as well. I see you're just moving in.
Thanks to the good God who has provided a larger home, now we'll be able to take in more poor elderly who need us.
Have you figured out a way to pay the rent, how to clothe and feed everyone?
We trust in the Lord's providence, as I'm sure you do.
We do. In fact, it's the Lord who sent me here to give you this.
That's a very large basket.
Oh, it has to be large. It's a begging basket. This is the way we take care of all of our expenses. People give us food, clothing, money, whatever they can spare to help the sick. The Lord never fails to fill it.
A begging basket. I like that. Thank you, Brother Remy.
What do you want? We feed and clothe the elderly poor. I wonder if you could... Can anyone spare food for the poor? Old clothing? Money, if you have it?
I don't have anything for you. Try getting a job.
My job doesn't pay enough to feed everyone we're taking care of. These are people who have nowhere to live. No one to help them.
I despise these beckers.
Shame on you both. This woman is clearly trying to help people. Here, take this loaf of bread. I've more at home. Thank you, madame.
Thank you very much. I have two apples I can spare, if you can use them. We can indeed. May God bless both of you.
That man was rude. Here, take these coins.
I'm very grateful for your generosity, monsieur. God bless you.
I wish I had more to give you. But see that big house next door? It belongs to Monsieur Blanchet, one of the richest men at Saint-Servant. You should try him.
Thank you. I will.
Can I help you? I'd like to speak with Monsieur Blanchet.
Who should I tell him is here? Jean Jougon. Who is it? She says her name is Zhen Zhugang. Do I know you?
No, monsieur. Then why are you bothering me? My friends and I house and feed the poor elderly.
What has that got to do with me?
I'm asking for your help.
So you want money?
Not for myself. Do you think I'm a fool? No, monsieur. I think you're a man who has the means to help the poor. Oh, I do, do I? Why do you think that? Monsieur, I'm just asking... You're a filthy beggar!
Get out of here! Did you hear what I said? Yes. Why are you looking at me like that?
Your slap was for me. Now perhaps you'll give something to the poor.
I... I … I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. You're not really a beggar, are you?
I'm just asking for your help in taking care of Saint-Servant's elderly poor. God has obviously blessed you. Will you use those blessings to help others?
I … Wait a minute.
How does faith play a role in Jeanne's endeavors?
Here, take this.
That's very generous of you, monsieur. May the Lord continue to bless you as you bless others.
Zhen! Your basket is overflowing! It was a good day! Thanks be to God! We have company? That new priest, Father Lepayur. Really? I wonder what he wants. Father Lepayur, what a nice surprise.
Your new home is perfect, Jen.
