Weird Star Witch

When Rudolph brought back the medicine, the director of the orphanage was very happy.

She thought that Rudolph and Yvonne came to inspect the orphanage with Miss Ivy's letter of introduction, but Yvonne helped take care of the children all day, and when Rudolph came back, he brought valuable medicine.

The director had a headache every time he went to the Thor Mining Company to apply for funding. Although Miss Ivy, the third daughter of the Thor family, supported the orphanage, the funding was always delayed when Miss Ivy was not in Gasai Town.

Only when the leaders of Thor Mining came to inspect the orphanage and take pictures could she apply for funding more easily.

The medicines that Mr. Rudolph brought back were enough for the orphanage to survive this winter.

In the evening, Rudolph waited for Yvonne, who was still reluctant to leave, at the door.

"Yvonne, do you like the orphanage?"

"Yes, I like it very much." Yvonne said as she rolled down her sleeves:

"Since I stopped being a patrolman, I don't know what I should do, but I feel very fulfilled in the orphanage. I taught them to read and work as women, and I even briefly told them about the farm. Maybe they can be farmers when they grow up.

I like to see their hopeful eyes, as if they can live a very good life after growing up in the orphanage."

Yvonne became happier and happier, and began to talk to Rudolph about the details of every day.

After listening for a while, Rudolph asked a more realistic question:

"Has the director of the orphanage ever thought about whether the orphanage can have some means of generating income, instead of relying entirely on the grant from Thor Mining Company?"

"Yes, the director has been doing two things.

The first thing is to seek funding from other groups or individuals. It is somewhat dangerous to pin hopes only on Thor Mining. We should increase publicity for the orphanage and reduce the ties to Thor Mining.

The second thing is to set a return work period.

Every child raised by the orphanage needs to work for the orphanage for three years and give part of their salary for the first three years to the orphanage.

The oldest child in the orphanage is now 15 years old. The director is going to let him go to work, and the job is also arranged by Thor Mining Company. Soon, he will go to work in the iron mine of Thor Mining Company."

A few days later, Yvonne came to the orphanage and saw 15-year-old Hadley waiting for the director at the door.

Today, Hadley wore his best clothes and stood straight with joy.

"Hadley, are you going to work?"

"Yes, Miss Yvonne." Hadley had a good impression of the kind lady who had just come to the orphanage. He said, "I'm waiting for the director. The director said that Mr. Vanya will take me to the mining company."

Rudolph wanted to move around the town, so he found a new name for himself, Vanya.

"Work hard, other children will follow your example!"

"I will definitely work hard, Miss Yvonne!"

Rudolph took Hadley to the iron mine. He had a letter of recommendation from the director of the orphanage in his hand, and the mine would directly accept Hadley.

That night, Hadley lived in the iron mine.

He thought he would be assigned a bed first, at least a place to sleep, but he didn't expect that he would be assigned a backpack first.

Hadley, who had eaten something casually in the canteen of the iron mine, went down to the mine to work a night shift without any transition.

This was very fresh. He was still in the orphanage in the morning and went down to the mine at night. He swung his pickaxe very hard, and he didn't feel tired when running, and his legs were full of strength.

Half a month later, it was the day for the mine to pay wages.

Hadley was queuing in the team. Although his face and body were dirty, it was hard to hide the brightness in his eyes.

After paying wages, the mine would give a day off as usual. Hadley was very excited when he thought about going back to the orphanage, or going back to the orphanage with money.

"Hadley, work for 17 days, basic salary plus mine subsidy, a total of 1 silver shield and 60 copper shields." Hadley wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes and took his salary.

After Hadley went back to wash up, he hurried to the orphanage.

When he entered the orphanage with the meat and biscuits he bought and his other clean miner's clothes, all the children surrounded him.

When watching the other younger children share biscuits, Hadley felt an incomparable sense of accomplishment.

Then he chatted with the director and Miss Yvonne like an adult.

I don't know if it was because of excitement, but he was panting and coughing when he spoke.

A week later, the younger children in the orphanage began to cough one after another.

Rudolf had not monitored any valuable new intelligence in the Baron's Castle these days, so he did not go to the castle today, but took the three children with the most severe coughs to see a doctor.

The first person he thought of was Dr. Doolittle, who could perform spinal surgery. Dr. Doolittle's medical skills must be very advanced.

The three children were examined by Dr. Doolittle one by one, and Dr. Doolittle put down his stethoscope:

"Tuberculosis, a highly contagious tuberculosis. These children are not in good health and have low resistance, so the symptoms are somewhat obvious."

"Tuberculosis?" Rudolf suddenly remembered the miner Otto: "Are there many tuberculosis among the miners of Thor Mining Company?"

Dr. Doolittle nodded: "Yes, many miners have tuberculosis."

Rudolf took away several children with tuberculosis and medicine, but he knew that tuberculosis was not so easy to treat.

After settling several children, Rudolph also headed towards the mining area.

He needs to bring Hadley back and let Hadley receive treatment as soon as possible. Hadley infected other children.

As the dean said, the children in the workhouse are children with families. Hadley should not have allowed his tuberculosis to get worse in a dusty environment.

In the reception room of the iron mine, Rudolf met the dirty Hadley: "Hadley, let's go, come with me for treatment."

"I'm not going." Hadley's eyes were firm. He didn't want to leave the mine.

Rudolf asked: "Why?"

"My wages will be deducted."

Hearing this answer, Rudolf couldn't help but shake his head: "Health is more important. If you are cured of your disease, you can work for a long time. If you can't be cured, then maybe you will lie down completely in a few years." ”

"For some people, health is more important, but for me, money is more important than health." Hadley said firmly: "I need money, I made a mistake, and I know I passed on tuberculosis to other children." , I want to make money to pay their medical bills.”

Rudolf shook his head: "You don't have to worry about the medical expenses. I will find a way."

"It's my fault, I must be the one to find a solution."

Seeing the stubborn Hadley, Rudolph had no choice.

Hadley was anxious to get to work, so he just took Rudolph's cough medicine and left the reception room.

Rudolph had nothing to do with the stubborn Hadley. When he was about to leave, he saw Dr. Doolittle from the window of the reception room.

Rudolf thought of the ragged words again:

"The seriously injured cavalryman and the miner's disease, other people's injuries and disease, my dessert..."
