Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 193 - 193 Revised 193 Objective Achieved

193: Revised: Chapter 193 Objective Achieved 193: Revised: Chapter 193 Objective Achieved Li Yuqi’s questioning put Mayor Ma at a loss for words.

After all, he didn’t understand the details, so he had to turn back to look at Wu Xiaoyu.

Wu Xiaoyu saw the surrounding villagers looking at himself and knew that their attention was still focused on the rapid growth of his chickens.

The previous explanation using insects as an excuse had become weak after the villagers’ trials.

Helplessly, he could only forcefully explain:

“So what if my chickens grow fast?

Is it any of your business?

I have my secrets.

Why should I tell you?”

Upon hearing this defense, although Li Yuqi couldn’t refute it, he was still satisfied, because the word ‘secret’ had already touched the villagers’ nerves.

He has a chicken farming secret but won’t tell everyone.

Although it’s not blameworthy, it’s hard for the villagers not to mind.

They can’t help but feel jealous seeing his chickens grow so quickly.

Moreover, according to Li Yuqi’s observations, there were already many people in the village secretly jealous of Wu Xiaoyu recently.

Otherwise, the rumor about him using hormones wouldn’t have spread so quickly.

In Li Yuqi’s view, the villagers’ jealousy of wealth was far greater than their contempt for poverty.

When everyone has nothing, there is peace, but when someone suddenly becomes rich, a thorn appears in everyone’s heart, thinking, ‘why are you so lucky?’

Seeing the villagers around quiet down after hearing Wu Xiaoyu had a secret to chicken farming, Li Yuqi felt triumphant and said, “Fine!

Then I was being nosy!”

With that said, he squeezed his way out of the crowd and went home, with Li Yujia following behind, grumbling in dissatisfaction, though Li Yuqi didn’t care.

After Li Yuqi left, the villagers were even more bewildered.

So…

that’s it?

They thought he would probe into something, but he just left?

What exactly is Wu Xiaoyu’s secret to chicken farming anyway?

When there’s a chance, they must subtly inquire about it.

Isn’t Wu Dushan helping Wu Xiaoyu with feeding the chickens?

He should know, right?

Seeing this unsettling factor leave, Mayor Ma ordered Niu Mansheng to disperse the crowd.

Following the orders jubilantly, Niu Mansheng led his clansmen to drive everyone away.

Wu Youliang, seeing the matter was settled, quickly instructed his wife to take people to the mountain and catch chickens for cooking, preparing to host a banquet for the Mayor and others.

Hearing this, the village chief who was persuading the crowd immediately summoned his wife to go home and cook, then walked over to the Mayor, flattering:

“Mayor, you probably haven’t eaten yet?

You came to our Daxin Village, going through many upheavals to uphold justice for us common folks.

We must treat you well no matter what!”

Seeing Niu Mansheng rush ahead of him, Wu Youliang sighed and stepped forward, saying, “Mayor, I’m Wu Xiaoyu’s father, Wu Youliang.

You’ve cleared our name from this wrongful accusation, so we must invite you for a meal!”

Seeing the two contending to invite him for a meal, the Mayor waved his hand repeatedly and said, “We’ll head back now.

We’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future!”

“How can that be?

You’ve helped us so much, we can’t just let you leave.

We wouldn’t feel at ease!” Wu Youliang said with a smile.

Wu Xiaoyu had never seen his father like this before and was quite surprised.

In his memory, his father never spoke such grand words!

Seeing his persistence, the Mayor had no choice but to explain, “We’ve just proven you haven’t used hormones, but accepting your treat might give people something to talk about.

Just now, a young lady suspected us of falsification and deliberate favoritism!”

Hearing this, Wu Youliang found it difficult to persuade him further, while Niu Mansheng stepped forward once again with a smile, saying, “You’ve come all this way to Daxin Village; we can’t let you go back on an empty stomach!

Just come to my house for a simple meal!”

“Forget it!

With so many people, it’s better not to disturb you, might as well not make you spend extra money!” Mayor Ma glanced at the public officers beside him and said sternly.

Seeing the Mayor’s impatience, Niu Mansheng found it difficult to persist and stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

The Mayor ordered his people to get in the car and prepare to leave.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu still standing there, he asked, “What’s wrong?

Aren’t you coming with me?

Isn’t your friend’s restaurant still waiting to resume business?”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu was first stunned, then quickly got into the car.

Watching this, Niu Mansheng felt very envious.

Even as village chief, he had never ridden the Mayor’s car!

Wu Youliang, however, felt some relief, not because of the Mayor’s favoring his son, but because of his son’s natural and carefree attitude towards the Mayor.

Sitting next to Mayor Ma, Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t help but observe him.

He had a good impression of the Mayor before, mainly because he had helped him once.

Now it appeared that he was indeed a fair, honest, and decisive person!

The villagers, seeing the conclusion given by the Mayor and the other leaders, also went home disappointedly to cook.

Liu Sheng, who witnessed Wu Xiaoyu leaving with the Mayor in the same car, felt a surge of depression, jealousy, and anger.

Why?

Why does Wu Xiaoyu always turn danger into safety?

Why does someone always help Wu Xiaoyu?

Is he really better than me?

Do I have to live in his shadow forever?

The more Liu Sheng thought about it, the angrier he got, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, he was too insignificant and even lost the bit of esteem he had in the village.

Two months ago, he was still envied by the fellow villagers, but now?

Not only did he lose a job that paid five to six thousand a month, but he was also despised and looked down upon by the villagers, becoming a rat in the street!

Maybe it wasn’t such a bad choice to follow Niu Qiang and the others back to Guangdong Province a few days ago.

Why was he so obsessed with staying and opposing Wu Xiaoyu?

Just as regret surfaced in Liu Sheng’s heart, another voice suddenly arose, fighting it – Is his fate really to be just a laborer?

Why should he toil day and night to earn hard money while Wu Xiaoyu can sit idle and get rich?

Unwillingness grew in his heart, but the nourishment for this unwillingness was not hard work, but jealousy.

Such a person is destined not to achieve greatness and at most can only become a crony to others.

Returning home with a heart full of grief and anger, Liu Sheng swiftly dialed Chen Zhaofeng’s number as soon as he locked himself in his room, without even greeting his parents.

The moment Chen Zhaofeng, who was excited about the suspension and overhaul of Jiji, answered the phone, he eagerly inquired, “So, what’s the result?

Was Wu Xiaoyu’s chicken farm shut down?”

Liu Sheng, increasingly irritated by his barrage of questions, retorted impolitely:

“Boss Chen, didn’t you say they would definitely find hormones in Wu Xiaoyu’s chickens?

Why did the people from the livestock quarantine station say that no hormones were ever injected into his chickens?”

Chen Zhaofeng was stunned by these questions.

How could it be?

Didn’t Wang Baishan say everything was arranged?

Didn’t he say it was foolproof?

“What exactly happened?

Explain it to me clearly!” Chen Zhaofeng stood up, asking anxiously.

Seeing that he was completely uninformed, Liu Sheng gave a bitter smile.

It seemed he really was foolish, trusting his nonsense and getting excited for nothing!

Weren’t you the one who said everything was arranged?

Weren’t you the one who guaranteed they would find a problem with Wu Xiaoyu?

Weren’t you the one who said his chicken farm would be shut down?

This Chen Zhaofeng knew nothing about what happened and now wanted to ask him?

Clearly, he had trusted the wrong person!

“What happened?

I should be asking you!

Weren’t you the one who gave me a guarantee?

I already told you, the quarantine people found no problem!” Liu Sheng said impatiently.
