I am confused. She earns tons of money from the childrens labour, supposedly pocketing almost all of it. And it is accepted because she hands all she owns to the priest? Doesn't that mean that she is not earning tons of money from the children's labour? and that she is not pocketing it?
Honestly sounds more like the church's orphanage system works by having the children working, taking most of the profits (possibly still small amounts just meant to supplement the orphanage's lacking funding, but not enough to be considered a profit?), and the one organizing the kids if only the staff serving as the equivalent of the middlehand at the "cash-register" in a store (much like mc in the café). In this case said staff being a volunteer worker, who receives no pay for the hours she put in?
Is the kid just misunderstanding things greatly, and the sister not educated enough (she has that job herself, except she has a wage! how doesn't she know about the concept?!?) to follow the logic of what was said? Or was there a huge piece of context lost in translation, and we just had it presented to us incorrectly?
I could believe the priest being corrupt and bad though. Like, surely he would stop sonia's donations from the household if he wasn't, since he would easily be able to see that she has no income to support it, and that it is clearly outpacing the excess the household would have considering her sister's job?
ps: how could anyone mistake her for her twin sister? They don't look the least bit alike? Even the haircolour and haircut (the main method one uses to identify people) differ!!!
pps: seems like there might be more chapters already available, that any power-uploader could upload?

So the blonde sister seems to be both A. A publicity figure for the church, and B. In cahoots with the priest. She's exploiting the kids and paying them bare minimum, but her reputation as the saint shields her from anything the kids say. Also she's stealing from her sister and giving it to the church, but the church is also paying her for doing so (probably for getting the kids to work and for getting the church to be more popular) so part of what she "donates" is going right back to her. Which is how she probably was able to afford her new clothes

Ugly guess No.1: She's in the priests bedsheets.
Ugly guess No.2: The priest isn't the only one who has had a taste or whiff of her, hence the drunk man looking at MC with drunken lust.
Still doesn't explain the parts I don't get: why are they saying she is pocketing all money, directly after which they say she hands it all to the church?

What do you mean pocketing? She wrings all the cash she can get from her sister, from the orphans, and apparently even compensated dating, and donates it to the church to make herself look like a wholesome philanthropist. It doesn't seem she ever needs to keep any of it, and she can always steal more.
I mean ch1: page 36 panel 5 bubble 1 + page 37 panel 1 bubble 4, where he describes how she is the one getting paid. But then in page 38 panel 1 bubble one he instead describes how she is not getting paid and instead just like all the orphans have all her money end up in the hands of another (the priest; and unlike the orphans she does not get to keep even the slightest bit).
In other words, sounds like she is getting used as staff much like a cashier at a store (but without any wage at all), but somehow the 2 assume she is some evil person, and the one behind "stealing from the kids" (rather than the logical idea that the priest made a deal with the ppl the orphans work for, and she is just the child-shepherd he is exploiting for free).
My understanding is that she is basically taking money from wherever she can - her sister, orphans, random men - and publicly donating it to the church. This makes her look good and pious. Except she's in cahoots with the priest, so the money she "donates", plus any other donations, are made available for her own benefit, instead of properly distributed to the orphans the church is supposed to care for. The orphans get the bare minimum, she embezzles the money on expensive clothes and food.

Eh? To me she sounds like a store owner who exploits the staff and blows nearly all the money on pachinko. Just because you didn't get any richer at the end of the day doesn't mean you didn't earn it in the first place.
Sure, if that pachinko place is the place that owns the legal rights to all your victims, and is the one giving you the authority to order them to work and to take their money. And only allows it so long as you really do spend it all on their pachinko.
This does again just sound like you are hired staff handling someone else's money, without embezzling it.
Oh, but you also don't get paid for it, except in pachinko-benefits worth the same value as their profits (with the machines rigged to always lose when you use your benefits).
@feha @FloorRoof I think another piece of the puzzle that sorta (but not really) explains things is the whole saint thing.
Like the country is going around looking for a saint MC's age, who will be brought back to the capital for (maybe) fame and fortune, and all the stuff sister has been doing apparently qualifies her for the selection process.
All that explains why sister would cooperate with the church but NOT why the church would cooperate with MC's sister when they already have access to a bunch of orphans.
Like there's no way that sister's donations are enough to outweigh the benefits of a) having way more control over the pseudo-saint and b) having an arrangement with them that wasn't full of incriminating holes.
