Li Xiaoran smiled and walked to the front of the crowd.

Without saying a word, Li Xiaoran stood there, her expression gradually turning serious.

“I remember that my mother told some of you to keep it a secret! Why did you guys go back on your word?”

As soon as she said this, the six people in the crowd looked ashamed.

Of course, after feeling ashamed, some people were also very angry.

“It’s not that we don’t know how to keep it a secret, but after our family found out, they all started making a fuss! We had no choice! As a daughter-in-law, there are many things that we can’t decide! We were pressured!” A timid woman explained.

“That’s right! Xiaoran, it’s really because we couldn’t keep it a secret!” The others also explained.

Li Xiaoran didn’t speak and simply listened to these people. She had no intention of interfering at all.

Gradually, these people also realized that Li Xiaoran’s attitude was off and gradually fell silent.

When everyone fell silent, Li Xiaoran looked at the group of people.

“Yes, you guys had no choice! I also believe that you all had your own difficulties. However, I run a shop to do business, not charity. Your difficulties are your own business. Do I have to tolerate it if you want to take the things in my shop back to help your relatives in the future? From this, it can be seen that you guys are untrustworthy. I want you guys to be productive and diligent, but what’s more important is your character.”

“How can I trust people who can’t even keep their promises?” Li Xiaoran said in the end.

“What about us? We’re productive and have good character.” Suddenly, a woman with high cheekbones questioned indignantly.

“You? You’re productive? I might believe others, but I really don’t believe your words! I’m afraid you’ll take over my shop and treat it as yours! You’re not from our village to begin with, right?! You’re just an outsider who lives in your relative’s house, but now, you’re forcing your relatives to vacate a room for your family. You bully people all the time!” Li Xiaoran exposed the other party’s lie and mocked her.

As soon as she said this, the others looked at the woman disdainfully.

Everyone in the village knew about this.

It was just that some of them had never seen what the infamously thick-skinned woman looked like, so they didn’t recognize her.

After Li Xiaoran exposed her identity, everyone criticized this person spontaneously.

“That’s right. If you’re not from our village, why are you accusing us? You probably haven’t even figured out the situation yet! This is Hele Village, not a place for an outsider like you to behave atrociously! ” A woman on the other side immediately mocked.

“That’s right. This isn’t the Huang family. Do you really think we’re as meek as the Huang family? How can we be controlled by an outsider like you?” Another woman said sarcastically.

This time, the outsider didn’t dare to say anything and could only glare at Li Xiaoran angrily.

“Try glaring at her again and I’ll dig your eyeballs out!” Luo Cheng suddenly said.

When the woman heard Luo Cheng’s words, she trembled in fear and quickly ran away.

This time, no one dared to say anything.

“As for the rest of you guys, the reason you guys weren’t hired is that none of you pay attention to personal cleanliness. I run a food business. The food will be eaten by customers. You guys came for an interview today, so you should all know this very well.”

“But look at you guys. Your clothes are untidy and there are stains in many places. Some of your clothes are clean, but look at your hands. Your nails are black and dirty. I wouldn’t dare to hire such people. There are some who are clean and tidy, but when you guys speak, you spit. If you bring dishes to the customers, won’t they be disgusted?”

At this point, Li Xiaoran didn’t continue.

“Look at the three people I’ve chosen. Are you guys still going to ask why you weren’t chosen?”

Hearing Li Xiaoran’s words, everyone looked at each other. In the end, all of them lowered their heads in dejection.

No one expected to miss such a good opportunity because they didn’t take hygiene seriously.

“Alright, disperse!” Li Xiaoran didn’t want to waste her breath on these people anymore.

To be honest, if not for the sake of the village, Li Xiaoran wouldn’t have bothered to waste her breath.

After bringing the three people to the courtyard at the back, Li Xiaoran began to talk about the work requirements, the monthly salary, and every day’s work schedule.

On the other side, Zhao Xiu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the matter had come to an end.

At that moment, a few people returned. They came to the door of the noodle shop and shouted.

“Zhao Xiu, can you come out and talk?” A pale woman shouted carefully. Zhao Xiu originally wanted to ignore her, but seeing the other party’s expectant expression, she thought for a moment and handed the work in her hand to her youngest daughter, Li Xiaoqing.

“Xiao Qing, cook the noodles. I have something to deal with first!”

Li Xiaoqing looked at the people outside the door and nodded. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Mom, you can’t be muddle-headed! Don’t be too lenient and forgiving!”

“Don’t worry, I’m not stupid!” Zhao Xiu replied and walked out. After walking to the side, Zhao Xiu looked at the three people who had returned.

“If you have anything to say, say it now!” Zhao Xiu said with a cold expression.

“I’m sorry, Zhao Xiu! We really didn’t mean it!” The pale woman looked miserable and apologized to Zhao Xiu with red eyes.

“That’s right! We’re really sorry! We were wrong, so we have to apologize to you personally!” Another woman chimed in.

“That’s right! Zhao Xiu, we all knew that you were doing this for our own good, but we were ungrateful. We’re really sorry!” The woman with patches on her clothes apologized softly..
