Chapter 141: Stealing
When Megan walked into the orphanage with Greg and the others, Marina's eyes became a little strange when she looked at him.
Of course, she can't be blamed for this, after all, who would have thought that the gentleman who had just donated to him would suddenly turn around and become the most powerful noble family in the whole of London?
As Megan walked into the door of the orphanage, he felt that it was filled with a shabby and dead atmosphere, looking at the long-term untended trees in the courtyard, stretching out their branches messily, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and even some fallen leaves that had begun to turn black and began to rot could be seen below.
In the middle of two stout trees, a swing with only a rope tied to the trunk, lies alone on the ground.
And the houses that stood in the courtyard were once covered with yellow and even cracks, and if anyone lived in them, I think he would have been frozen by the cold wind blowing through the cracks in the cold night.
Meghan looked at the dilapidated and dirty orphanage with a complicated expression, and said to Sister Marina beside her: "Although I was mentally prepared before I came in, but ...... Sister Marina, how long has it been since you had no one to clean here?"
Sister Malina had a distressing look on her face: "Do you think there will be other money in this orphanage to hire cleaners? The money allocated by the city hall before was only enough to feed the children and staff here, and as for the last cleaning of this place, I think it was when I was still in this orphanage......
Megan had an expression of disbelief on her face: "It turns out that you used to be a member of this orphanage, well, I know you are in trouble, but I didn't expect your life to be so ......"
Sister Malina smiled kindly at Meghan: "So pitiful?"
Meghan hurriedly saluted Sister Marina: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean to offend ......"
Sister Marina shook her head absently: "You didn't offend me, yours is the truth, God will not punish a person for telling the truth, Mr. Meghan, maybe you will think we are pitiful, but ...... Living here with children, nuns, and our beloved abbots, we do not feel pain and sorrow, but on the contrary, such a life makes us happy. ”
Megan raised an eyebrow: "Happy, forgive my offense, do you really think that these children, who may not even have enough to eat, will feel that living here will be happy?"
Sister Marina smiled serenely: "Yes, they are happy, I think this happiness is the kind of happiness that Mr. Meghan cannot understand, in this big family, maybe they will not have enough to eat, they will not be able to wear warm clothes, they will not be able to sleep in goose down beds, but ...... They had a group of friends who loved each other, as well as nuns and abbots who cared for them. ”
Meghan really couldn't understand the joy of Mother Marina's conclamation, and he even felt that her mind was a little unconscious: "Can all this friendship and love make their hunger and cold disappear?"
Sister Malina smiled and shook her head: "I'm afraid that friendship and love can't make their hunger and cold disappear, but when you stay alone and hungry in a cold room, you can feel that this is different from when a group of hungry companions hug each other for warmth." ”
Meghan, who had never had such an experience, did not believe Sister Marina's words, but he also did not refute her, he was silent, after all, he had not experienced it, and he was not qualified to refute these people who had gone through these lives.
Sister Marina looked at Megan, who was silent, and she crossed the topic with great interest, and pointed to a nun who was walking quickly to the side not far away: "The lady in front is Sister Danielai, who, like me, is responsible for taking care of the children here. ”
Meghan looked up at Sister Danile, a nun with a black and white trim on her head, a nose with a high bridge under her huge eyes, and she would have been a beauty if she didn't look at her buckteeth protruding from her lips.
At this moment, Sister Danile, who cared for the children, was opening her mouth and snarling at the girl who was supposed to be only about six years old below her.
"Joanna!!Do you think I'll not find out that you stole a shilling from my house? Do you want to be hanged on the execution ground like your damned pickpocket father!?"
The corners of Meghan's eyes twitched, and then she whispered to Sister Marina: "This is your love?"
Sister Marina shook her head: "Sister Daniela is different from me, I returned to this orphanage of my own free will, and she was transferred here by the church in the form of punishment while I was still studying...... She's not always very patient with the children, sorry for the delay you may have to, I need to see what that silly girl Joanna has done. ”
Before Meghan and Greg could reply, Sister Marina had already lifted her nun dress and ran briskly towards Sister Danielle.
"Sister Danielai, what did this stupid girl Joanna do to make you lose your temper so much?"
Joanna, one of them, looked at Sister Malina with her watery eyes open for help, and her mouth was glutinous: "Mama Marina......"
"From now on, shut your mouth!" Sister Danielet glared at Joanna fiercely, causing the girl to shudder, and then she turned her head and looked at Danielai with a blank expression.
"It's Sister Marina, I just found a shameful thief!
Sister Marina frowned, she squatted down, and looked at Joanna with a serious face: "Child, tell me, is Sister Danielai's true?"
Joanna seemed to be frightened by Sister Danielai, she didn't say anything, but now she shook her head tremblingly.
Sister Marina looked at Joanna's appearance, and couldn't help but squint her eyes, she understood what was going on, she could only blame Joanna for being unlucky, just when Sister Rinilla was in a bad mood, Sister Daniela deliberately punished the children for being in a bad mood, it was not the first time it had happened, it was already a well-known thing.
Sister Marina stood up straight and looked at Sister Daniele in front of her with a sharp gaze, and she even felt the urge to slap Sister Daniele in the face at this moment!
