Weird Star Witch
Chapter 167 You are just a small miner
The next day, after everyone woke up, they were surprised to find that their high fever and lung disease had healed.
The director of the orphanage looked for Rudolph everywhere, and heard from Yvonne that Rudolph had bought special medicine. When the director found Rudolph, Rudolph was leading a few people in with breakfast.
The director was even more moved when he saw it. She and the nurses had just recovered from the illness and were too weak to make breakfast, but Mr. Vanya even solved the breakfast problem.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Vanya, how can you be so kind? You bought special medicine and breakfast again."
"To be honest, I just don't want to see Yvonne so tired, and I'm not so kind. I'll feel guilty if you praise me as a good person."
After this lung disease, the orphanage completely accepted Rudolph and Yvonne.
Yvonne won the recognition of everyone in the orphanage with her tireless care.
Although Rudolph seems to be doing nothing all day, he has money. He buys medicine and food, and becomes the second sponsor of the orphanage.
The charm of money is always so simple and direct. It is hard to say who the children of the orphanage like more, the kind-hearted Miss Yvonne or Mr. Vanya who buys candy.
That afternoon, Rudolph was reading a newspaper on a chair at the door of the orphanage, searching for news about the Baron's Castle.
Intelligence science is sometimes not about studying high-end skills such as beauty traps and bribery, but some news that is put on the surface is enough for people to infer useful information.
The blacksmith shop is recruiting workers, and the Baron's Castle is recruiting chefs, which proves the activity of the Baron's Castle. During the pandemic, the people of the Baron's Castle stayed in the castle and did not go out, and were least affected.
Hadley walked out of the gate, came to the door, and said, "Sir, thank you for the medicine, I'm leaving."
Rudolf didn't even put down the newspaper: "Oh, go ahead. But don't join your fellow workers' parade."
Hadley was stunned. He didn't expect Mr. Vanya to guess what he wanted to do at the first time.
Hadley didn't answer, but left silently.
Rudolf looked at Hadley's back from above the newspaper, and didn't say much. Everyone has their own choice. He continued to read the newspaper, and occasionally looked at the pet crystal to see how prepared the Baron Castle was.
Footsteps sounded in the distance, and Rudolf looked up and saw that a group of people surrounded Ivy and entered the orphanage.
The third lady of the Thor family, after returning to Gasai Town, has become more luxurious when traveling. Ivy just looked at Rudolf and continued to walk into the orphanage without talking much to the guard.
A manager next to Ivy saw that Rudolph not only did not stand up, but also only glanced at Miss Ivy above the newspaper. He immediately said to his subordinates: "Immediately, immediately, fire him! Before Miss Ivy comes out, I want to see a new guard at the orphanage!"
After the group of people entered the orphanage, a staff member of Thor Mining walked up to Rudolph and looked down at Rudolph on the chair: "You are fired."
Rudolph raised his head and instantly understood something: "What? You fired a volunteer? Can volunteers be fired?"
The staff member didn't waste any words. He took out two banknotes from his arms and shook them. The banknotes rustled: "This is 2 silver shields, get out of here."
Rudolph stared at the banknotes and felt that he was looked down upon: "I am doing my part for the charity of Gasai Town. You are not humiliating me, you are humiliating charity."
The staff member took his hand back into his arms. Rudolph suddenly felt a little regretful. 2 silver shields was his previous monthly salary.
What made Rudolph happy was that the staff member rummaged through his pockets and took out two more banknotes: "4 silver shields, immediately, leave immediately. Can these humiliate your "charity"?"
The banknotes rubbed against each other, making a pleasant rustling sound, and Rudolph nodded happily: "A fair price! Charity is worth this much, no more! This money cannot humiliate me, but it is enough to humiliate "charity."
Rudolph took the banknotes, put away the newspaper neatly, stood up from the chair, and pretended to leave.
The staff member was also anxious to find a new guard, and did not pay much attention to him after seeing Rudolph leave.
Ivy entered the poorhouse and was very satisfied with the performance of the poorhouse after learning about the situation. Under the epidemic of tuberculosis in the town, not a single child died in the poorhouse. You know, the children in the poorhouse were already weak and used to be beggars on the streets of Gasai Town.
Ivy praised the director of the poorhouse, and the director also introduced two kind people who came to inspect the poorhouse, Mr. Vanya and Ms. Yvonne.
Ivy guessed that Vanya should be a pseudonym that Rudolph had temporarily given up. She had seen Yvonne by Rudolph's side before, and she also thanked Yvonne specially.
A group of people left the orphanage again under Ivy's leadership.
When leaving, Ivy saw that the guard at the door was not Rudolph, and asked: "Where is the guard before?"
The manager on the side was stunned, and hurried to find the subordinate who was doing the work. The subordinate was also sweating, and hurried to find the guard who was driven away by him.
Miss Ivy seemed to know the guard and deliberately waited at the door, and others didn't say much.
When the subordinate found Rudolph, Rudolph was watching the miners marching on the street outside. This march started in the morning. The miners went on strike today, and the sick ones went on strike, and the healthy ones also went on strike.
Beside the noisy street, the subordinate said cautiously: "Sir, someone wants to see you."
"Go back and tell Miss Ivy that I just lost my job and I'm in a bad mood. There's no need to meet."
When the subordinate heard Miss Ivy's name, he realized that they really knew each other, and hurriedly said: "You can continue to be the doorman of the orphanage, I can advance you three months' salary."
After that, the subordinate took out 1 silver shield. Considering the income of the doorman, 1 silver shield for three months is not a small amount.
Rudolf shook his head: "Do you think you are sending the doorman? The income of the doorman is okay, but what about my charity? Have you forgotten how much "charity" is?"
The subordinate reluctantly took out 4 silver shields again.
"That's right, anyway, it's Thor Mining's money, you can reimburse it when you go back, why are you so stingy?"
Back and forth, Rudolf earned 8 silver shields for nothing, and returned to the orphanage contentedly. Ivy motioned for others to leave first.
Ivy said: "Thank you for letting me know that it was the plague carrier who directed the epidemic in Gasai Town."
Rudolf wrote to Ivy and told her the cause of tuberculosis. Rudolph is too busy to treat so many patients, so let Thor Mining worry about it.
"You're welcome. Yvonne and I like the orphanage very much. We are very busy and happy here."
Ivy asked, "Why did you come here? Are you really interested in the orphanage?"
Rudolph helped Ivy and Thor Mining in the matter of tuberculosis, but Ivy still felt that Rudolph should have some other purpose.
"Are there no good people in the world? Believe it or not, Yvonne and I really just like the orphanage."
Ivy knew that the wizard in front of her would not tell her his true purpose. As long as there was no threat to Thor Mining for the time being, Ivy was not going to intervene.
Ivy asked, "Where is the plague carrier?" "Oh, I solved it when I found it."
Hearing this news, Ivy walked out. After the group left, Rudolph continued to read the newspaper on the chair at the door.
Even if Rudolph was in the yard, he could hear the slogans on the street outside.
Many miners were lying down because of lung disease, and those who did not fall down were mobilized to participate in the march.
The miners' demands were simple. They wanted a better working environment, they wanted dust masks, they wanted to upgrade the ventilation system, and they wanted a better mine hospital.
Half a day later, for some unknown reason, there were suddenly cries and shouts on the street.
Rudolph stood at the door and looked out through the iron gate.
The security guards of Thor Mining Company and the patrolmen of the police station began to clear the streets. They threatened the miners with gunshots and smashed the miners' heads with batons. Obviously, the police station in Gasai Town stood on the side of Thor Mining.
Just as Rudolph was looking and shaking his head through the iron gate, a miner suddenly rushed to the nearby area and shouted: "Hadley, that kid, ran slowly and was caught by the security guards of Thor Mining!"
Before Rudolph could ask a few more questions, the man ran away.
Rudolph shook his head. Hadley left in the morning and was caught in the afternoon. Hadley must have recovered too quickly and eaten too much.
Fortunately, Rudolph was only temporarily staying in the relief house in Gasai Town, otherwise these naughty kids would have annoyed Rudolph to death.
At night, Rudolph came to the office building of Thor Mining Company. He walked all the way to the basement. Thor Mining also liked to use the basement as a temporary prison.
In the basement, Rudolph saw Hadley, who was beaten to death.
Hadley had dozens of whip marks on his body, his clothes were tattered, and there were bloodstains in the rips of his clothes.
Rudolph took out Ivy's note that he had just received and signaled the guard to open the cell door. Two guards went in and dragged Hadley out.
The thatch and rags in the cell stuck to Hadley's wounds, but Hadley didn't even groan.
Rudolph looked deep into the cell and saw several miners inside. They looked at Hadley with envy or numbness.
Unexpectedly, Rudolph saw an acquaintance here, the miner Otto. His eyes were dazed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Take a closer look, it's not his eyes that are dazed, it's dead. I don't know if he died of illness or was beaten to death.
After hesitating, Rudolf did not remind the guards. Maybe tonight or tomorrow, they will find that Otto is dead.
He took out 1 silver shield and handed it to the guard, then pointed to Hadley on the ground: "Do you have any medicine for wounds? Give him some."
He just made 8 silver shields from Thor Mining, and returned 1 silver shield in a blink of an eye. Ill-gotten gains really can't be kept.
The guard happily accepted the money and went to get the best medicine for wounds.
In order not to beat prisoners to death, the prison will prepare medicine for wounds. Whipping while applying medicine for wounds is the best punishment.
The guards were very skilled, and soon Hadley's wounds were bandaged.
Seeing that Rudolf was wearing a decent suit, two guards took the initiative to carry Hadley and walked upstairs.
On the first floor, Rudolf met Ivy again.
"Iron ore can only be mined for more than ten years. If it were decades ago, Thor Mining would definitely improve the working environment of miners, but now, I can't convince those shareholders to agree to increase investment so much at this time."
Rudolf nodded and accepted Ivy's explanation. In fact, he didn't care about it.
In front of Ivy, the guards carefully put Hadley on the carriage hired by Rudolf.
On the way back, Hadley was shaken by the carriage, and the pain in his body became more and more clear at this time: "Mr. Vanya, why is the mining company willing to set up a relief home but not to provide a harmless working environment for the miners?"
"Hadley, you are just a small miner who has just started working, don't think too much."
After watching the two leave, Ivy turned around and walked up to the office building.
In the luxurious office on the top floor, Ivy saw her brother, Avery, who is also the manager of the Gasai Town branch of Thor Mining. Avery wore a well-tailored suit and a tie even in the middle of the night.
"Brother, the company has to pay for the medical expenses to help those sick miners."
Avery was upset about the strike: "Impossible, tuberculosis was caused by a plague carrier, that's what you said. We can't pay so much medical expenses for the crimes of the plague carrier."
"If the miners' working environment is not too bad, they can't be used by the plague carrier."
Avery shook his head: "Ivy, you stay with Vice Speaker Abel and be a bridge between Vice Speaker Abel and the family. This is your job. The iron mine is not something you should be involved in. I have agreed to your request to subsidize that ridiculous relief home every year. Don't be willful anymore."
"I have become a level 3 alchemist in Vice Speaker Abel's laboratory. You don't need to worry about my affairs. What I am worried about is that if a large number of miners die in the iron mine, will it be easy for the parliament to pass it?"
Avery shook his head:
"Believe me, Ivy, we give so much campaign funds to the Speaker and members of parliament every year. If something happens to us, Some of them are more anxious than us.
My stupid sister, do you know how much it will cost to treat all the miners? The medical expenses for one person are even enough for us to hire three people.
The charred body of the plague carrier Doolittle has been placed in the square. He will be described as the culprit of tuberculosis. The death of miners is not a big deal, but if this year's report is ugly, it will be a big deal.
There are undercurrents in Fabro City. We must increase the activity funds this year. Where will these activity funds come from? Of course, it comes from the iron mine.
In the next turmoil, our Thor family must make arrangements in advance, otherwise, we will not know how we died!
Don't you know why Baron Hakem, who is over 60 years old, is trying so hard to get promoted recently?
Everyone feels the pressure. You have talent, but don't be delayed by insignificant things.
Go, don't worry about the iron mine anymore, go back to Fabro City, and be the assistant to Deputy Speaker Abel with peace of mind. "
Two-in-one, today is also a day for extra updates.
