Chapter 167 - 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 were cured.

  The director of the orphanage looked for Rudolf everywhere. He heard from Yvonne that Rudolf had bought special medicine. When the director found Rudolf, Rudolf was leading a few people in with breakfast.

  The director was even more moved when she saw it. She and the nurses had just recovered from the illness and were too weak to make breakfast. 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."

  "To be honest, I just don't want to see Yvonne so tired, and I'm not that kind. I will feel guilty if you praise me as a good person."

  After this lung disease, the orphanage completely accepted Rudolf 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 that the Baron's Castle is active. During the pandemic, the people of the Baron's Castle stayed in the castle and did not go out, so they were least affected.

  Hadley walked out of the gate, came to the door, and said, "Sir, thank you for the medicine, I'm leaving."

  Rudolph didn't even put down the newspaper: "Oh, go ahead. But don't join your workers' parade."

  Hadley was stunned. He didn't expect Mr. Vanya to guess what he wanted to do at the first time.

  Hadley did not answer, but left silently.

  Rudolph looked at Hadley's back from above the newspaper, and did not say much. Everyone has their own choice. He continued to read the newspaper, and occasionally glanced at the pet crystal to see how prepared the Baron Castle was.

  There were footsteps in the distance, and Rudolph looked up and saw a group of people surrounding Ivy and entering the orphanage.

  The third lady of the Thor family, after returning to Gasai Town, traveled more luxuriously. Ivy just looked at Rudolph and continued to walk into the orphanage without saying 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 next to him: "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? Volunteers can also 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 withdrew his hand into his arms, and 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. 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 after seeing Rudolph leave, he didn't pay much attention to him.

  Ivy entered the orphanage and was very satisfied with the performance of the orphanage after understanding the situation. Under the epidemic of tuberculosis in the town, not a single child died in the orphanage. You know, the children in the orphanage were weak and used to be beggars on the streets of Gasai Town.

  Ivy praised the director of the orphanage, and the director also introduced two kind people who came to inspect the orphanage, Mr. Vanya and Ms. Yvonne.

  Ivy guessed that Vanya should be a pseudonym that Rudolf had temporarily given up. She had seen Yvonne beside Rudolf before, and she also thanked Yvonne specially.

  A group of people left the orphanage under the leadership of Ivy.

  When leaving the house, Ivy saw that the guard at the door was not Rudolf, and asked, "Where is the guard before?"

  The manager on the side was stunned and hurried to find his subordinate who was doing business. 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. Others didn't say much.

  When the subordinate found Rudolf, Rudolf was watching the miners marching on the street outside. The march started in the morning. The miners went on strike today. The sick ones went on strike, and the healthy ones also went on strike.

  Next to 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. With 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 the '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?"

  After a round trip, 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. Rudolf 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 must 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 the news, Ivy walked out. After the group of people left, Rudolf continued to read the newspaper on the chair at the door.

  Even though Rudolf 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.

  After another half a day, for some reason, there were suddenly cries and shouts on the street.

  Rudolf 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 through the iron gate and shaking his head, a miner suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Hadley, that kid, ran slowly and was caught by the security 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. It must be that Hadley recovered too quickly and ate too much.

  Fortunately, Rudolph was only temporarily staying in the relief house in Gasai Town, otherwise these naughty kids would be annoying Rudolph to death.

  In the evening, 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 the tears in his clothes were full of blood.

  Rudolph took out the note from Ivy 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 prison stuck to Hadley's wound, but Hadley didn't even groan.

  Rudolf looked deep into the prison, and there were several miners inside, who looked at Hadley with envy or numbness.

  Unexpectedly, Rudolf saw an acquaintance here, the miner Otto. His eyes were sluggish, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

  Take a closer look, it's not sluggish eyes, that's dead. I don't know if he died of illness or was beaten to death.

  After hesitating, Rudolf didn't remind the guards. Maybe tonight or tomorrow, they will find that Otto is dead.

  He took out 1 silver shield, handed it to the guard, and then pointed at Hadley on the ground: "Do you have any medicine for injuries? Give him some." He

  just earned 8 silver shields from Thor Mining, and in a blink of an eye, he returned 1 silver shield. It's true that ill-gotten gains can't be kept.

  The guard happily accepted the money and went to get the best medicine for injuries.

  In order not to beat prisoners to death, the prison will prepare medicine for injuries. Whipping while applying medicine for injuries, this is the best punishment.

  The guards were very skilled, and soon Hadley's wounds were bandaged.

  Seeing that Rudolph was wearing a decent suit, the two guards took the initiative to carry Hadley and walked upstairs.

  On the first floor, Rudolph 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 the miners, but now, I can't convince those shareholders to agree to increase the investment so much at this time."

  Rudolph nodded and accepted Ivy's explanation. In fact, he didn't care about these.

  In front of Ivy, the guards carefully put Hadley on the carriage hired by Rudolph.

  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 unwilling to provide miners with a harmless working environment?"

  "Hadley, you are just a small miner who has just started working, don't think so 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, the manager of the Gasai branch of Thor Mining. Avery was wearing 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 because of the strike: "Impossible, tuberculosis was caused by a plague carrier, that's what you said. We can't pay so much medical expenses because of the crimes of the plague carrier."

  "If the miners' working environment was not too poor, they would not be used by the plague carrier."

  Avery shook his head: "Ivy, you stay with Deputy Speaker Abel and be a bridge between Deputy 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 Deputy 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 the congressmen every year. If something happens to us, some of them will be more anxious than us.

  My stupid sister, do you know how much it costs to treat all the miners? The medical expenses of 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 upcoming 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.
