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

Chapter 145: This Was Necessary

Everyone crowded at the main hall of the Taoist temple to offer incense, including the Shi family. Old Lady Shi instructed got her son to make others give way and all the Shi family members hurriedly offered incense and left.

She then told her family members, "In the future, maintain contact with this girl and listen to her opinions. It won't be wrong."

Previously, some of the Shi family members would not agree on this.

Now, even Mdm Niu was feeling a little apprehensive.

After all, the old immortal had already manifested, and it was her who made him do so.

This meant that the old immortal liked his disciple very much, so she did not dare to be a demon anymore.

All of them hurriedly nodded. "Yes."

Previously, those who came from the county town or from other places did not believe it much, but now, they all believed it.

This was how the news spread.

Not only did the people in the county town know about the old immortal's manifestation, but even people from other places started hearing its rumours.

Shi Qingluo asked her people to close the main door of the Taoist temple and leave before dinner time.

There were fruit peels and other rubbish on the floor and the public toilets weren't clean anymore.

She realised she had forgotten about it.

"Let's write a notice tomorrow and paste it on the door. No littering.

"There were also human traces to suggest that some people plucked our corn and chilli in the backyard."

It wasn't that others discovered that corn and chilli were edible, but they were similar to tourists who would randomly pluck flowers and plants in scenic areas.

Fortunately, when Shi Qingluo realised that some people had gone into the field this morning, she let Dumby guard it.

Therefore, they didn't suffer much losses, but still had to prevent this from happening in the future.

She couldn't always rely on her goose to stay here and guard it forever.

"We need to find a few people to specially guard the Taoist temple and the corn and chilli in the backyard."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. "Indeed, we need to."

He added, "We can either find a few people in the village or county town to guard it."

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment. "Let's start looking from our village first. Aren't there a few hardworking elderly people who have no family members? Why don't we invite them to guard the Taoist temple?

"They just have to open and close the main door and clean up the Taoist temple every day.

"They would also help to water the fields in the backyard and remove the weeds."

"We'll provide food and accommodation and give them some remuneration every month."

She had seen a few elderly people in the village who were quite pitiful.

They farmed to maintain their livelihood but did not have the physical strength to sustain for the day.

They could only work for other villagers to exchange some food or dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

There were shelters and nursing homes in the modern era.

But the lonely elderly people here could only wait for their deaths.
