<h4>Chapter 93: Let’s give it a try</h4>


    The moment Shi Qingluo said that, the vigers present were all astonished.


    However, many of them quickly came to a sudden realisation.


    “I was wondering why your rtionship with Old Lady Xiao suddenly became better. It was all to sow discord!”


    “What you guys did was too mean. Dng’s wife is from our vige, yet you guys still went to sow discord.”


    “The Wu family is so bad, and you guys are actually doing bad things for them. I really didn’t expect that you guys were like this.”


    “No wonder Dng’s wife doesn’t want your family. If I were her, I wouldn’t want either.”


    “Exactly. When the timees, what if y’all went to learn how to make mosquito incense and secretly tell the Wu family?”


    “The Wu family loves to snatch other people’s secret forms. Did your family sign up just to steal the forms?”


    They were all from the same vige, so it was normal to have some conflicts among them.


    However, colluding with outsiders to deal with people in the vige was something that the vigers did not quite ept.


    This olddy did not expect Shi Qingluo to know about this.


    However, she refused to admit it. “Where did you hear this from? I did not do such a thing.”


    In any case, the members of the Xiao family had gone to the capital, so they could not confront each other in public.


    Otherwise, if this matter were established, how would their family survive in this vige? They would be spat on to death.


    They were also angry with Shi Qingluo.


    It was just a small matter. Was it worth mentioning it?


    Shi Qingluo was already prepared. She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to the chief.


    “Chief, when my ex-grandmother’s family left the vige, her family members wrote this letter to me.


    “All the words on it were written by this olddy and how she sowed discord at that time.


    “My ex-grandmother’s handprint here too.”


    When she went to old Xiao’s residence, she had asked Eldest Grandson Xiao to include this and let Old Lady Xiao put her handprint on it.


    The old Xiao family wouldn’t be at a loss doing it, so they did as they were told.


    The chief took it and looked at it. He looked at this olddy unhappily. “The evidence is here. Do you still want to quibble?”


    This olddy did not expect that Old Lady Xiao would be so vicious to actually tell Shi Qingluo about this matter and even write it down.


    At this moment, she had no choice but to admit it.


    She could only smile embarrassedly. “I only said a few words casually. It’s not considered sowing discord.


    “Our family signed up for this just to earn some money. It has nothing to do with the Wu family.”


    Recently, the Wu family’s reputation had been tarnished in the county town, and it was worse in their vige.


    Now, they definitely could not be associated with the Wu family anymore.


    Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, “Is that so? Then can you guarantee that after you learn how to make mosquito incense, you won’t leak it to the Wu family?


    “Working at my house only gives you 100 wen a month, but if you were to sell the form to the Wu family, you would at least have a few dozen taels, or even more than a hundred taels.


    “Previously, you stabbed us in the back because your family members were working as waiters at the Wu family Inn. Now that you have such a high return, how can you resist it?”


    These words made sense to everyone.


    100 wenpared to a few dozen taels or even hundreds of taels of silver, how would they choose?


    Based on what this family had done previously, it was highly likely that they would choose thetter.


    Needless to say, there were actually some people here who were tempted.


    Shi Qingluo swept her gaze around and had an idea in her mind.


    Today, apart from killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, she also had to make the matter of keeping the form a secret as her top priority.


    Just relying on rules was not entirely reliable. The key was to rely on everyone’s awareness and mutual supervision.


    Hence, before this olddy could exin, she spoke again.


    “If the Wu family were to learn it, my family’s business would be taken away. At that time, we wouldn’t be able to hire people to do things anymore. Is it because your family is not used to seeing other people’s families doing well?


    “There’s an old saying that cutting off someone’s ie is like killing his parents. Are you trying to hold grudges against the entire vige?”


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


    Actually, she did have such thoughts in the past.


    The sry of 100 wen wasn’t low, but if they could get their hands on the form 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 vige 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 vige were filled with hatred and suspicion, causing her heart to thump.


    She immediately retorted, “You can’t use 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 vigers chimed in one after another.


    “Right, who knows what you are thinking.”


    “If you were to pass the form 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 ie. You are too ck-hearted.”


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


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


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


    After all, she was an olddy in the vige. 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 vigers looked at her, the more she looked like one.


    Hence, they reprimanded the olddy and her family.


    This made the olddy 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 vigers 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 ns to take precautions in advance.


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


    The vige 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 vige, 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 ces, you are not allowed to leak the forms or trade secrets etc.


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


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


    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 form 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 vige’s reputation.


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


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


    Everyone agreed unanimously.


    Shi Qingluo realised that the Xiao n’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 ns holding the highest priority, being chased out of the vige was a very serious matter.


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