Chapter 93: Let's give it a try

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

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

"I was wondering why your relationship with Old Lady Xiao suddenly became better. It was all to sow discord!"

"What you guys did was too mean. Dalang's wife is from our village, 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 Dalang's wife doesn't want your family. If I were her, I wouldn't want either."

"Exactly. When the time comes, what if you 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 formulas. Did your family sign up just to steal the formulas?"

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

However, colluding with outsiders to deal with people in the village was something that the villagers did not quite accept.

This old lady 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 village? 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 village, her family members wrote this letter to me. All the words on it were written by this old lady 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 old lady unhappily. "The evidence is here. Do you still want to quibble?"

This old lady 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 village.

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 formula 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?"
