After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure

think about in the past.

As long as their family members weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t stop the women from working.

“Dalang’s wife, is this true? Then you can see if I’m suitable for it!”

The woman who spoke first couldn’t wait any longer and asked.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “Of course it’s true.”

“Aunty, you’re a hardworking person.
Of course you can do it.

“But in a while, you’ll still have to come to my house to register with my younger sister.” Nothing could be accomplished without any expectations or standards.

That aunty said excitedly, “I’ll register, I’ll go and register in a while.”

A man could not help but ask, “Are you not hiring for other work?”

Shi Qingluo replied, “Not for the time being, but when the paint workshop opens, we will still be hiring.
We’ll need men for that.”

Painting required a lot of manual labour and effort, and men were more suitable for it.

Many of the men in the village were initially disappointed, but when they heard this, they happily said, “Alright.”

The weather had been too hot recently, and the tofu would get sour if it was carried too far away for sale, so they could only sell it nearby.

Once the sellers gathered, there was more competition, so their businesses weren’t as good as before.
They shall wait for the weather to cool down.

In addition, they weren’t busy with farming recently, so many people wanted to find a job with the Xiao family.

After all, the work location was closer to their house.

The salary was not bad, and food was also provided.
They wouldn’t be able to find this even when they were at the county town.

In particular, they could also network with Elementary Scholar Xiao and good fortune from an old immortal’s disciple.
Everyone was happy.

Next, those who wanted to register went to find Xiao Baili.

Shi Qingluo didn’t delay it further.
She got the name list on the spot and pointed out the people she wanted.

After interacting with the villagers for this period of time and asking from Xiao Erlang and Xiao Baili, she had a good understanding of all the people in the village.

She had a basic grasp of those who were hardworking, those who were lazy, and those who liked to gossip.

On this name list, all the hardworking women in the village had mostly signed up.

There were about 200 people.

Now, they had to make more mosquito incense, and with more manpower, they could do it faster.

After all, they had to rush to make it during summer, else who would want to buy mosquito incense in the winter.

Thus, those who were lazy or had bad character were eliminated, and Shi Qingluo let the remaining 100 over workers to report to the sugar workshop tomorrow.

At that time, she planned to expand the scale or allocate some territory to do other things, so these workshops were larger.

Those who weren’t selected were either disappointed or a little unhappy, but they didn’t say anything.

After all, this group of people were more problematic, such as being lazy or unhygienic.

And when a family saw that none of them were selected, their old lady couldn’t take it anymore.

“Dalang’s wife, why isn’t anyone from my family selected? Our family is famous in the village for being diligent.”

This family was indeed quite hardworking in the village.

Everyone was a little surprised that their family wasn’t selected.

Shi Qingluo knew that this person would jump out and ask.

Why did she have to ask the chief to call everyone in the village over?

She even asked the villagers to register for the selection in public.

Of course she was waiting for this to happen.

It wasn’t a problem for her to bring the village to prosperity, but she couldn’t do it too gently on the surface either.

There was a limit to how gentle she could be.

When she needed to be, she would be, when she needed to be strict, she would also be strict.

As the Chinese saying goes, she had to warn the monkeys by killing the chickens.

She looked at this old lady and asked instead, “Why didn’t your family get chosen? Don’t you have any guesses?”

This old lady was a little confused.
“What guesses? My family has never offended you.”

However, after saying that, she felt a little guilty.

Shi Qingluo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
“Your son is a waiter at the Wu family Inn.

“Previously, when he returned to the village, he asked you to instigate Old Lady Xiao to go against my family.
And you went there.

“Since your family stabbed us in the back, why should I choose your family?”

Today, she wanted to let everyone know that those who betrayed or stabbed her in the back wouldn’t be allowed to join the fun.
