The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 145: Everyone Needs to Help

Aunt Li’s expression was complex, she sighed, hesitated for a while, and then spoke: "No need, Sufen, I believe you, it’s all Tian Lang’s doing."

She pinched the edge of her apron, mustered the courage, and apologized: "Sufen, I’m sorry, I wrongly accused you for so long."

The other villagers also fell silent. The gray-shirted uncle’s sheep being lost was Tian Lang’s doing, Aunt Li’s chickens being stolen was also Tian Lang’s doing, Aunt Bao was wrongfully accused.

Actually, the accusation by Tai Lin Biological against Aunt Bao for extortion and deliberately tarnishing their image in the village was most likely just mud-slinging at Aunt Bao.

Xu Ying wished the wrench in her hand could strike Tian Lang on the head: "Because Aunt Bao hindered your profitable schemes in the village, you want to eliminate Aunt Bao as a stumbling block, so you kept causing trouble, making villagers lose trust in Aunt Bao."

"Do you people have any conscience at all, making an aunt in her fifties struggling to support her family endure so much!"

Being called out by Xu Ying as fraudsters, Tian Lang and Brother Deng showed no remorse, of course.

The villagers’ expressions turned from pale to darkened; their actions towards Aunt Bao had been very excessive during this period. With Aunt Li taking the lead in apologizing, the villagers followed suit and apologized one by one.

"Sufen, we’re terribly sorry, who’d have thought your cousin’s son-in-law would be so unreliable?"

"My chicken coop has become a bit too crowded lately, take two home for the kids to get some nourishment."

Facing the villagers’ apologies, Bao Sufen felt helpless inside. She opened her mouth, unable to utter words of forgiveness due to the grievances and troubles she endured over this period.

Xu Ying patted Aunt Bao on the shoulder: "Aunt Bao has been scammed by Tai Lin Biological out of ten thousand dollars, helping her seek justice and compensation should be the top priority, I believe everyone is willing to help, right?"

With Xu Ying’s prompt, of course, everyone expressed their willingness to help, the villagers immediately wanted to tie up Tian Lang and Brother Deng.

"Wait a minute, tying people up is not okay. We must abide by the law."

Xu Ying hurriedly told the villagers to calm down, she glanced at the partially darkened sky: "How about letting them stay for dinner overnight since it’s getting late."

The villagers understood Xu Ying’s intentions and "enthusiastically" pulled along Tian Lang and the other: "Let’s go to the village committee canteen; you’ve been running around busy for so long in the village, it’s been hard. Let’s have the village chef personally cook some dishes for you to taste!"

"Wait a minute!" Watching the villagers’ approach, Tian Lang’s voice trembled: "Saying we came to swindle money, what evidence do you have?"

Xu Ying smiled calmly: "Don’t worry about the evidence, I’ve already contacted technical staff from the chemical agency, they’re on their way."

"Even if there’s no issue with your potion, the slander and theft still need to be properly explained to the villagers and the police."

Tian Lang immediately shut his mouth, his face grey as death, teeth clenched tightly. He was so close to succeeding, yet this interfering girl appeared and foiled it.

"The potion Tian Lang used is different from what was given to Aunt Bao, it’s potent but also poses safety risks, everyone shouldn’t use it for now."

Upon hearing this, the villagers’ expressions turned panic-stricken.

Xu Ying: "Can anyone provide me with a sample of the ant extermination potion at home? I’ll take it for testing."

"Yes, yes!"

Immediately, villagers agreed to provide Xu Ying with potion samples.

After exposing Tian Lang and Brother Deng’s true faces and clearing Aunt Bao’s name, Xu Ying continued taking photos and signing autographs with the obedient children waiting for them. She hadn’t expected to gain a group of adorable little fans from this visit.

The villagers saw that Xu Ying not only stopped them from being swindled but was also so gentle and kind to the children in their village, their fondness for Xu Ying soared.

After signing the last child’s language book, Xu Ying picked up the aviation case and said to the villagers: "Alright, folks, I’m now heading to Aunt Bao’s place to document the termite infestation and show it to the real professors from the National Agricultural and Forestry University."

Bao Sufen led Xu Ying to her home, while aside from the two uncles warmly escorting Tian Lang and the other to the village committee for dinner, the other villagers also followed along to join the fun; the professor’s advice is surely expert.

However, they didn’t visit Bao Sufen’s house empty-handed, each went home to bring some items before heading to Bao Sufen’s place to socialize.

Aunt Bao’s house is a seven to eight hundred square feet wooden frame house, the brown wooden boards long since faded, surface covered with cracks eroded by wind and rain, the steps in front of the door frame corroded and deformed, edges of the boards curled.

Aunt Bao is raising her kids and grandkids, having to go to work, unable to repair the old house by herself.

Inside the house, clear marks of termite erosion can be seen on the walls and beams, the thin wormholes on the posts sprinkle wood chips when lightly touched.

The tungsten light bulb hanging inside emits a dim glow, after returning to the house, Aunt Bao greeted Xu Ying to sit, offered her the osmanthus candy given by her unit during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then prepared food in the dim light.

Aunt Bao’s grandchildren, Yangyang and Ya Ya, were lying on the wooden table doing homework, the table seemed aged too, yet placed on it was a brand-new eye-protection lamp.

Despite tough conditions, Aunt Bao is doing her utmost within her means to provide the best for the kids.

Both Yangyang and Ya Ya were drawn to the visiting Xu Ying, Ya Ya put down the pencil and widened her eyes in surprise: "Oh my gosh, it’s Little Xu Station Chief from the news segment on TV!"

Yangyang, a shy and introverted boy, was too surprised to speak when he saw Xu Ying.

His sister Ya Ya had already moved a small bench in front of Xu Ying and sat, cupping her face, looking up with her bobbing ponytail: "Sister, are you Xu Ying?"

Ya Ya is five now, two years younger than her brother, but she’s outgoing and lively: "You’re the Station Chief of Rescue Station 032, right?"

This little girl even remembers the unit number clearly!

Xu Ying chuckled warmly, taking snacks she brought for Aunt Bao’s two kids from her bag.

"Yes, your memory is really good!"

Ya Ya joyfully accepted the snacks, sweetly offering thanks.

"Sister, why did you come to visit us today!"

"Is it because there’s an injured animal near our home?"

Xu Ying nodded: "Yes, a sheep at an uncle’s place got sick, I’m here to help out."

"Turns out the sheep was kidnapped and sent back, caught cold after freezing outside overnight!"

Ya Ya became curious about this story, wanting to ask more but paused, realizing another matter seemed more important.
