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

.
Are you trying to hold grudges against the entire village?”

This old lady was shocked by these words.
“No, we’re not.”

Actually, she did have such thoughts in the past.

The salary of 100 wen wasn’t low, but if they could get their hands on the formula and secretly sell it, it would be their purpose for entering the workshop.

Her son had previously asked her to keep an eye on the Xiao family.

If she had any useful information, they would receive a wholesome reward from the Wu family.

No one would expect Shi Qingluo to point it out in advance.

Moreover, she had used the entire village as a raft.

She suddenly felt a little regretful.
Why did she jump out to ask just now.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire village were filled with hatred and suspicion, causing her heart to thump.

She immediately retorted, “You can’t accuse good people.
We aren’t thinking like this.”

Shi Qingluo pointed at the paper in the chief’s hand.
“You also said that you didn’t go and find Old Lady Xiao to sow discord, but in the end, when the evidence was brought out, you admitted it.”

“So your words have no credibility.”

The villagers chimed in one after another.

“Right, who knows what you are thinking.”

“If you were to pass the formula to the Wu family, no one would admit that he is the thief.”

“If you were to give it to the Wu family, you are also cutting off other people’s source of income.
You are too black-hearted.”

This involved everyone’s interests, so everyone’s heart was filled with righteous indignation.

Even though this old lady was guilty, she refused to admit it.
“No, we didn’t.”

“If the worst comes to worst, we won’t go and make mosquito incense.”

After all, she was an old lady in the village.
Shi Qingluo’s provocation in public had exposed her actions.

“You’re now looking guilty right.” Shi Qingluo continued with the momentum.

The more the villagers looked at her, the more she looked like one.

Hence, they reprimanded the old lady and her family.

This made the old lady and her family ashamed to stay any longer.
They said that they wouldn’t participate and just left.

This showed that they were even more guilty.

When they left, the villagers were still scolding them.

The chief was a smart and intelligent person.

From the looks of it, he could more or less guess Shi Qingluo’s intention and her plans to take precautions in advance.

Not only did he not feel like blaming Shi Qingluo or objecting it, he also felt that it was very right.

The village finally had a good start, and they could not let some ratsh*t to get in the way.

So he raised his hand and said, “Everyone, quieten down and listen to me for a while .”

The chef had earned his dignity in the village, so everyone quickly quietened down.

“This matter has also alerted us.
Let me put out a message here first.

“In the future, no matter if you are working in the Xiao family’s workshops or other places, you are not allowed to leak the formulas or trade secrets etc.

“Otherwise, you will be going against the entire village.
You will be severely punished.

“If it’s serious, you will be immediately chased out of the village.”

If the rules weren’t stricter, there would always be people who would step over the line to exchange for personal benefits.

The chief’s words stunned everyone.

However, it made sense.
If anyone were to steal the formula and sell it, it would not only hinder the interests of the Xiao family, but also everyone’s.

Most importantly, it would also ruin the village’s reputation.

“Right, in the future, no one can do similar things that would ruin the village’s reputation.
Otherwise, he would be setting against the entire village.”

“If anyone doesn’t obey, they will be chased out of the village.”

Everyone agreed unanimously.

Shi Qingluo realised that the Xiao clan’s chief was not only smart, but was also very tactful.

She was afraid that she was led into a useless team, and now, as expected, he did not disappoint her.

She smiled and added, “Our chief is right.
My requirements aren’t high.
In the future, when you work for my family, you just have to abide by this principle.”

Tying everyone’s interests together would prevent others who wished to go against the rules.

In this ancient time with clans holding the highest priority, being chased out of the village was a very serious matter.

Moreover, if you offended the public and your family still intend to earn a living in the village, you can give it a try.
