192: Chapter 192: Clearing Suspicions 192: Chapter 192: Clearing Suspicions Mayor Ma listened to his long string of words and only then roughly understood what was going on with Jiji, but his request seed a bit forced.
“Giving you, giving Jiji back its na, this is a must!
But compensation or anything, that’s unnecessary!
They were only acting out of responsibility for food safety.” The mayor said seriously.
The village chief standing nearby, seeing the mayor reject Wu Xiaoyu, thought the mayor was displeased with Wu Xiaoyu’s unreasonable request, quickly flattered, “Mayor, please don’t be angry!
He’s still just a young and inexperienced kid, don’t hold it against him!”
Niu Mansheng’s self-righteous and unnecessary gesture left Wu Xiaoyu a bit puzzled.
What was going on?
Had he turned over a new leaf and was now speaking up for him?
But before he could react, Niu Mansheng continued, “This governnt business, where does it need a young kid like him to point fingers?
Compensate?
What a joke!”
The mayor frowned at his jumbled words.
What does he an?
Is he helping Wu Xiaoyu or deliberately trying to provoke ?
Director Wu, seeing that the mayor clearly didn’t want to continue on this topic, quickly said, “Mayor Ma, how about…
I go out and explain to the villagers?”
The mayor nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go with you!”
With that, they all walked out of the village committee office, into the midst of the villagers, and began clearing Wu Xiaoyu’s na.
“Everyone quiet down…
quiet down!
The mayor has sothing to say!
Quiet down…” Niu Mansheng shouted at the top of his lungs.
The villagers quieted down, not because Niu Mansheng was particularly authoritative, but because they wanted to hear what the mayor had to say and find out whether the local chickens had been injected with hormones.
The mayor saw the villagers quiet down quickly and gave Niu Mansheng a satisfied nod.
Niu Mansheng, being pleased with himself, straightened up and took on a lofty deanor.
“Everyone listen to …
According to the tests from the livestock quarantine station, Wu Xiaoyu’s local chickens were not injected with growth hormones!
As the mayor, I am here to clear Wu Xiaoyu of suspicion and prove his innocence…” The mayor shouted to the surrounding villagers.
The villagers, who all initially believed that Wu Xiaoyu’s local chickens had been injected with hormones, were stunned by the mayor’s words.
What’s going on?
After all this trouble, we find out Wu Xiaoyu’s chickens hadn’t used hormones?
The mayor isn’t covering for Wu Xiaoyu, right?
They seem quite familiar with each other!
Seeing that the mayor’s words didn’t cause a stir among the villagers and that they were looking at the mayor with suspicious eyes, Director Wu stepped forward and explained:
“I am Director Wu from the quarantine station.
Our tests have proven that the accusations against Wu Xiaoyu are completely unfounded!”
Seeing the head of the quarantine station step out to speak, the villagers began to believe that Wu Xiaoyu might actually have been wronged.
Soone must have been jealous to report him.
But who was that person?
Seeing the villagers starting to make noise and discuss again, Niu Mansheng, with a stern face, stood up and shouted, “Quiet down and listen to the leader speak!
What do you all think you’re doing!”
But the villagers, having heard the quarantine results, no longer paid attention to Niu Mansheng.
They continued whispering and discussing.
Among the discussions, children’s cries could be faintly heard, making it even more annoying.
The mayor, seeing the situation, told Niu Mansheng, “Disperse them!
What good does it do for everyone to keep crowded here!”
Niu Mansheng, upon getting the orders, quickly arranged for his clan’s youngsters to disperse the onlookers.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Li Yuqi astonishingly said:
“Are you guys covering for him?
If there were no hormones, why did his chickens grow so fast?”
The villagers, hearing this, stopped in their tracks again and stared at Li Yuqi in shock.
What is this girl trying to do?
She was the one who broke up with Wu Xiaoyu, so why does she keep opposing him as if she’s the one who’s been wronged!
Seeing that she had no old feelings left and was clearly against him, Wu Xiaoyu, though confused, stepped forward coldly and asked, “What will it take to make you believe?”
Li Yuqi responded just as coldly, “I’m just speaking the truth!
I’ve never seen local chickens grow that fast!”
Her statent was already sowhat unreasonable and nonsensical, but she had her own persistence, which was not missing any chance to make Wu Xiaoyu lose everything and beco penniless.
She wasn’t planning to stay in Daxin Village anymore.
After graduation, she would stay in the city to work and marry, only returning for the New Year.
She cared little about the villagers’ gossip!
Seeing her becoming so heartless, Wu Xiaoyu didn’t hold back either and said righteously, “Just because you’ve never seen a dinosaur, does it an it doesn’t exist?”
“How fast my chickens grow has nothing to do with you.
If you think the quarantine staff is covering for , you can report it to a higher-level quarantine departnt!
I have a clear conscience, not afraid of anyone’s traps!”
Seeing Li Yueyuqi’s series of odd behaviors and hearing Wu Xiaoyu’s statent, the villagers began to suspect that the person who reported Wu Xiaoyu might actually be Li Yuqi!
In the crowd, Liu Sheng, seeing that everything was settled and Wu Xiaoyu’s chicken farm was cleared by the quarantine departnt, cursed Chen Zhaofeng.
Damn!
What an old hand at worldly society!
You promised that you would bring Wu Xiaoyu down, and yet he’s on the rise again!
Li Yuqi’s sudden move stunned everyone once more.
Wu Youliang and his wife stared at her hatefully.
If looks could kill, Li Yuqi would have been hacked into pieces by the couple’s gaze.
Mayor Ma, also incredulous, whispered to Wu Xiaoyu, “You didn’t wrong the girl, did you, that she wants revenge?”
Wrong her?
It’s she who dumped !
If anyone was wronged, it’s this **** who wronged !
Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Mayor Ma and said indifferently, “Now she’s accusing you of using your position for personal gain.
You figure it out!”
The mayor, seeing him push the trouble to himself, couldn’t help but smile and said, “You…
you’re quite shrewd!
No wonder you’re the one who can run a chicken farm in Daxin Village!”
After teasing Wu Xiaoyu, the mayor walked up to Li Yuqi and advised kindly, “Miss, our conclusion was made after a proper inspection.
If you have doubts about the results, you can report it to a higher-level inspection departnt!”
Hearing this, Li Yuqi raised her eyebrows, feeling a bit regretful.
How could she have let jealousy cloud her mind?
Wu Xiaoyu, a re farr, could he possibly have connections with people like the mayor?
Besides, Niu Mansheng was also involved.
It was rumored that he and Wu Xiaoyu were not on good terms lately; how could he allow these people to fake it?
But giving in and retreating wasn’t her style.
Even if Wu Xiaoyu’s chickens were genuinely fine, she couldn’t just back down.
Making the villagers suspicious and resentful towards Wu Xiaoyu would also be a good outco!
As a farr herself, Li Yuqi despised farrs the most.
She prided herself on understanding the flaws of the peasant ntality.
As long as she planted seeds of doubt and resentnt, Wu Xiaoyu’s future wouldn’t be so easy.
“Then why do his chickens grow so fast?
Which of you hasn’t raised chickens?
Whose chickens grow as fast as his?
Who believes there are no problems?” Li Yuqi said coldly, not taking the mayor seriously at all.
