After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 349 Eliminating the Big Rat
Su Xiaoxiao still looked at her with a disappointed expression and asked, "What else do you want to say?"

"This is my first time, so please forgive me, okay?"

Widow Bi, feeling guilty, tried to defend herself.

"What do you mean, 'first time'? You've lost jam several times already! How long are you going to keep lying?!"

Widow Bi didn't want to defend herself anymore, so Su Wangcai came over and said, "I've calculated it. In the past few days, while I was away from the workshop, she stole a total of fifteen bottles of our bottled jam. Each bottle cost thirty coins, so that's a total of four hundred and fifty coins."

Su Xiaoxiao walked up to Widow Bi and stared at her intently: "The things you took are actually a crime. I'm going to report you to the authorities right now and have you arrested."

Su Xiaoxiao was absolutely blunt. "Now that you're all exposed, you don't need to try to deny it to me. Go tell the officials right now!"

Widow Bi was startled. "No way, Su Xiaoxiao, do you really have to be this ruthless?"

Widow Bi, a seasoned veteran, instantly changed her expression.

She then accused Su Xiaoxiao, "Do you still want me to keep that a secret for you?!"

Those gathered around were a bit confused. What did Widow Bi mean by saying that?

It didn't matter if those around her didn't understand; Su Xiaoxiao knew perfectly well that the reason she temporarily hired Widow Bi as a new employee was because Widow Bi had something on Little Stone from the Su family.

Widow Bi used this incident to blackmail Su Xiaoxiao, and in the end, she still managed to get the job.

Widow Bi's expression at the time was, "If you hand me over to the authorities, I will tell everyone about this."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao thought, "So you're using this to blackmail me?"
The matter you mentioned?

Widow Bi nodded triumphantly, as if to say, "Su Xiaoxiao, let's see what you're going to do. If you send me to the authorities, I'll expose your family's affairs, and your Su family will be disgraced because of Little Stone!"

She seemed to show no mercy at all. After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao said with great disdain, "Is that so? But it seems you don't know one thing: Su Ping'an and I have nothing to do with the Su family anymore."

A few days ago, Pei Yuan went home to remove himself from the family genealogy. The village elders all went over to hear about this, right?
How could Widow Bi not know about this? It caused quite a stir in the village. In the end, it was said that Su Ping'an was not removed from the family genealogy. Old Mrs. Wang and the two Su brothers were imprisoned in the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village. It was very close to Widow Bi's house, and she could see the ancestral hall as soon as she stepped out of the house.

At that time, Widow Bi also came out with other villagers to watch the excitement and learned some of the details.

She saw that the Su family seemed to be about to have a family upheaval, making such a big fuss. At the beginning of this matter, Su Ping'an originally wanted to be removed from the family genealogy, but in the end, it turned into Su Ping'an successfully putting his two brothers and his mother in solitary confinement in the ancestral hall.

The villagers were all talking about it, but the final conclusion was that Su Ping'an must be in the right. Otherwise, why would the old clan elders and the village head be biased towards him and punish his family instead of him?
The events that occurred in the capital city eventually reached the ears of the villagers. They learned the general reasons and thought that if they were Su Ping'an, they would also choose to withdraw from the family genealogy without hesitation and would never associate with such a family again. Therefore, most of the villagers favored Su Ping'an's cooking and were very dissatisfied with the Su family's actions, feeling that Su Ping'an's actions were justified.

"I know……"

Widow Bi answered truthfully, "It's good that you know. Su Ping'an and I aren't really part of the Su family anymore. Say whatever you want, it doesn't matter. But I still have to hand over the matter of you taking so many bottles of jam from me to the authorities."

"Su Xiaoxiao, you're so cruel!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about anything else. She told Su Wangcai and the other male workers in the workshop that she was about to take Widow Bi to the town's government office.

Su Xiaoxiao is also going along, as are the other witnesses.

Widow Bi, seeing this, thought, "If you're so heartless, I'll be heartless too." She began to loudly proclaim her innocence and then shouted to the other villagers, "That little Stone of theirs, so young, was peeping at me while I was bathing! Like father, like son. The Su family are all bad apples!"

When she shouted these words, few of the other villagers believed her.

Most people chose not to hear, thinking that Widow Bi was just like that; there's always gossip around a widow's door, and that's exactly the point. So they didn't want to know whether Little Stone had actually peeked at her while she was bathing, and just assumed that Widow Bi was talking nonsense.

Few people believe what she says anyway, and now that she's been arrested, she's probably just spouting nonsense here, so nobody really takes her words seriously.

After Widow Bi was taken away, Su Xiaoxiao calmed herself down a bit and realized that she really needed to be more careful when hiring people in the future. She couldn't let those people of questionable character work in the workshop anymore, otherwise, her workshop would be emptied out by these parasites one day.

However, this time, she was forced to choose to have the widow Bi, who had a bad reputation in the village, work in their workshop.

After Su Xiaoxiao sent Widow Bi to jail, she also angered Widow Bi. Although she was only arrested for one day, Widow Bi had to pay the original price for the stolen jam. So, she lost money and was imprisoned. Therefore, she was extremely resentful of Tang Xiaoman.

Widow Bi thought to herself that this matter would not end there. She would find an opportunity to take revenge and would definitely not let Tang Xiaoman and the Su family have an easy time.

Su Xiaoxiao finally got rid of the big rat in the workshop, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling truly relieved.

However, she also felt that she needed a few people she could trust in the workshop, at least to help her keep an eye on things and to notify her in time if any other problems arose. Otherwise, she wouldn't be working in the workshop all day and wouldn't be fully aware of the situation there.

This time, with Su Wangcai and Xiao Taohua working together from the inside of the workshop, they were finally able to capture Widow Bi.

Therefore, Su Xiaoxiao felt more at ease having family members working in the workshop, and this incident proved that.
