Everyone crowded to burn incense in the Taoist Temple’s main hall.

The same goes for the Shi Family. Old Lady Shi asked her son to keep up, as she and her family members also hurriedly burned incense.

They left after offering incense.

Old Lady Shi told the member of the Shi Family: “In the future, interact with that girl more and listen to her opinions more. You won’t go wrong.”

Some people in the Shi Family would not agree with those words if it was before.

But even Mrs. Niu was a little scared now.

After all, even the Old Immortal Priest appeared, and it was the girl who made him appear.

It means that the Old Immortal Priest liked this apprentice very much, so she does not dare to act like a monster again.

Everyone agreed immediately: “Yes.”

People who came from the county or other places to join in the fun didn’t believe it before, but now they all believe it.

Therefore, the news spread.

Not only did the people in the county know about the Old Immortal Gods’s apparition, but there were also such rumors in other places.

Before the Taoist temple arrived for dinner, Shi Qingluo asked people to leave and closed the door.

Seeing that there were peels and other garbage in some places, and the public toilets were not clean, she discovered a problem that she had forgotten before.

“Let’s write a notice and put it on the door tomorrow. No littering is allowed.”

“The corn and peppers in the backyard also show signs of being picked and torn.”

It was not that those people discovered that corn and peppers were edible.

Just like some tourists who go to a certain place and randomly pick flowers and plants from the scenic spots.

Fortunately, Shi Qingluo found someone running into the fields in the morning, so he brought Daidai over to guard him.

So there was not much loss, but it must be prevented in the future. She cannot be allowed to stay here all the time.

“We need to find a few people to watch the pipeline and guard the corn and peppers in the backyard.”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, “It is indeed necessary.”

He added: “Either we find a few people in the village to guard it, or we go to the county town and buy a few people.”

Shi Qingluo thought for a while and said, “Let’s look for them in the village first. Aren’t there a few lonely old people who are diligent and have no family members? Why don’t we invite them to guard the Taoist temple?”

“They will open and close the Taoist Temple and clean it, and also water the ground in the backyard and weed it.”

“Food and accommodation will be included, plus a salary every month.”

She had seen several lonely old people in the village who were very pitiful. They farmed to make ends meet, but their physical strength could not support them.

They can only ask for help in the village to get some food or dig wild vegetables every day to satisfy their hunger.

In modern times, there were also shelters and nursing homes, where lonely elderly people were left to die by themselves.

Or the elderly who cannot work at home and disliked by their children, as long as their character is good, she will prepare some odd jobs in her workshops in the future.

Her grandpa has always told her not to dislike the elderly. After all, getting older will be something everyone will experience.

She must respect the older generation, they all have their wisdom in life.

Shi Qingluo has also received help from many old experts or farmers.

In addition, she grew up mainly with her grandparents and grandparents, so she has always had a softer heart towards the elderly.

It was undeniable that some old people do disgusting things, but she also agrees that it was not the old people who had become bad, but the bad people who had become old.

There were also orphans, she could take in some if she could.

But this cannot be done by taking in orphans on a large scale.

Those in power will not be afraid of taking in the elderly, but if you want to take in orphans, what would they think? They might think she wanted to train them to rebel, right?

In ancient times, she couldn’t do everything she wanted, she could only do it step by step.

She told Xiao Hanzheng her thoughts.

Xiao Hanzheng reached out and held Shi Qingluo in his arms, “Just do whatever you want to do.”

“After returning to the village for a while, I will go to the clan elder to tell him about letting the lonely old villagers guard the Taoist Temple.”

“The orphans in the village can also be raised in Taoist Temples. We can say that you want to accumulate blessings for the Old Immortal Priest.”

His wife was very bad when dealing with bad guys, but she has an innocent heart that he can’t help but be moved.

Shi Qingluo leaned into his arms and said, “Well, I’ll leave it to you.”

She asked: “Do you want to find a reading companion by your side?”

After her young husband took the imperial examination, it would be inconvenient not to have one or two companions or servants.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, “I’m going to look at the toothshop and buy two servants.”

“Let’s also buy some girls and women at home.”

The family has been quite busy recently, so it’s time to add more people.

Having the deed of renunciation in hand will make her feel more at ease when keeping people.

“Okay, you can do this together.”

Shi Qingluo knew that it was legal to buy people in ancient times. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, there was indeed a shortage of people at home.

If she buys some people, and they do a good job, then she would not hesitate to give them back their deed of sale and let the other person become a free person in the future.

As for changing the issue of human trafficking, she can’t do it now.

Xiao Hanzheng could see that his wife was not interested in buying servants: “Okay, I will go and take a look.”

The two watered the corn and chili peppers again before returning home.

After dinner, Xiao Hanzheng went to the patriarch’s house.

After hearing what he said, the patriarch looked pleased and touched: “You two are a very good couple.”

He felt sympathetic and uncomfortable looking at the plight of the old people in the village.

He wanted to help out as much as possible, but he had no way to support others.

Now Xiao Hanzheng and his wife want these old people and orphans to work, and they also provide food, housing, and wages. This kind of good thing cannot be found in Daliang.

“Okay, I’ll arrange this.”

The patriarch took over the matter: “But we can’t sympathize with those who don’t live up to expectations and are lazy.”

The main reason why Xiao Hanzheng came to the patriarch was, “Okay, thank you very much, patriarch!”

The patriarch smiled kindly: “On behalf of the lonely elderly people in the village, I would also like to thank you and your wife.”

He asked: “When can they go to work?”

Xiao Hanzheng said: “They can start tomorrow.”

The patriarch nodded and said: “Then I will ask now.”

“Okay, I’ll trouble you to make a trip.”

After Xiao Hanzheng returned home, the clan leader also went to several clan hometowns, discussed together, and decided on six people.

Then they go to each house and ask.

Six elderlies were very excited after hearing this. They had never expected such a good thing, so they naturally agreed without hesitation.

The news spread quickly in the village.

Everyone could not help but praise Xiao Hanzheng and his wife for their righteousness.

When people in other villages heard about this incident, they were envious of the villagers in Xiaxi Village.

In addition, Xiaxi Village now not only has saltpeter mines for sale but also has prosperous cement workshops. Therefore, many families in other villages in Nanxi County want to marry their daughters to Xiaxi Village.

Even if they can’t get married in Xiaxi Village, they want to marry in a surrounding village.

Shi Qingluo didn’t know yet that she had led the village to make a fortune, and had almost all the bachelors in the village become singles. There was even a situation where several families were offering marriage to a single man.

The next day, the village chief took the six old people to the Taoist temple.

Shi Qingluo saw that although several people were wearing patches of clothes, they were neatly tidied up, and they looked like hard-working people.

The patriarch was also careful in this regard.
