My Terrible Life in Those Years

When Chengzai heard what I said, his face turned green. He tried several times to rush up and start beating me up if I didn't have a shovel.

He pointed at me in a trembling voice: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Even though I didn't tell the truth, neither Kang Ning nor Wan Ning were truly stupid, especially Wan Ning, who had already come to her senses.

I looked at him and me with an incredulous expression.

"Jiang, Jiang Ning, what do you mean? What do you mean by taking a chicken feather as an imperial edict?" she asked me, her voice trembling with excitement.

I glanced at Chengzai, whose face looked rather unpleasant, with a cold smile.

"You'd have to ask our young master Cheng. How many brain cells did he use to plan today's situation?"

Chengzai looks like he's made of soap opera.

I came up with this idea during dinner.

The surveying work was just completed in the afternoon, and the village committee leaders and the three parties met just now. This is indeed still a confidential project.

I'm just a temporary worker, how could I possibly know!

Thinking of this, his face was resolute and determined, and he was determined to move forward.

How could someone who's used to showing off his power possibly back down in front of someone like me just because he thinks no one else could possibly know something?

"You slanderous bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Cheng Shao quickly calculated in his mind that only a few people from the village committee present knew about what happened in the afternoon and the planning map.

Furthermore, neither the surveying company nor that soon-to-be-listed big company could possibly have any connection with this temporary worker.

"Jiang Ning, explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened?"

Cheng Shao, however, said to Kang Ning, the small business owner, "Kang Ning, I told you to fire him a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, causing trouble here. Do you know the consequences?"

This coward knew that Kang Ning was a bit soft-hearted and easier to bully, so he started attacking him.

As expected, Corning frowned and glared at me.

"Don't try to make a scene here. Explain yourself clearly!"

I was extremely surprised. Looking at this young boss, it was clear that he still didn't trust me, his fake brother-in-law, at all.

I didn't intend to hide anything, and this guy has driven Wan Ning and me to this point, how could I let him go?

"Was this Young Master Cheng talking to you about the renovation project of the four main roads in Xian Village?"

Kang Ning and Wan Ning looked at me in surprise. How did you know?

Cheng Shao looked at him with disdain: Did you eavesdrop from behind?

Kang Ning looked at Wan Ning: "Did you tell him that?"

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Cheng Shao had just mentioned it to them, and Wan Ning had only just found out herself. She didn't have time to tell me.

Wan Ning gave her brother a strange look, then immediately looked at me, waiting for me to tell the whole story.

"Young Master Cheng, I have a few questions for you. You just need to say yes or no!"

The power of telling the truth is, of course, not as shocking as when it comes from his mouth.

Cheng Shao stammered, "Why should I listen to you? Why should I listen to your questions? And let you ask me whatever you want!"

Wan Ning urged me, "Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and ask!"

She was more eager than anyone to know the truth.

I asked in simplified terms, "It's about the renovation project, isn't it?"

Cheng Shao reluctantly averted his gaze from my slightly raised iron shovel and subconsciously replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"What you just mentioned was about the project on four streets, right?"

I emphasized the word "four".

He seemed to have caught on to something, his eyes darting around, but remembering the level of secrecy surrounding this top secret, he forced himself to remain calm.

"So what if it is?"

"Was the survey done this afternoon?" I asked with a smile, pressing him step by step.

"So what if I did?" he answered instinctively, then snapped out of his daze, "You...you overheard, didn't you??"

When he said this, his tone was noticeably weak.

I ignored his question and continued, "The surveying was only done this afternoon, and the planning map is already ready?"

At this, Cheng Shao was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Even if you don't understand or aren't a professional, you know this is no joke, right?

How could a drawing be produced so hastily without a week or two of sketching, organizing, reporting, and confirmation?

The drawing produced by GG is just a draft; it doesn't qualify as a proper planning map.

Wan Ning's gaze towards him had changed from questioning to surprise and anger.

Corning remained skeptical.

"Well, what's wrong with that? My uncle works at the village committee; he's a leader. He told me, how could he be wrong?"

Cheng Shao had no intention of giving up this trump card, nor did he show any sign of admitting defeat.

"Did he tell you that there was actually no plan to renovate four streets, but only two?"

I'll get straight to the point: this kind of person won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!

This hit him right where it hurt.

He was filled with shock and anger, and his face displayed a variety of expressions.

Like a kid who sneaks candy during Chinese New Year, thinking he's done something perfect, little did he know, a bunch of others were just quietly watching his performance.

"You, you're talking nonsense! All four were definitely modified together..."

I interrupted him directly: "Did he also say that this street to the south wasn't even on the list for renovation?"

I lowered my guard and began to ask questions, word by word.

Wan Ning was overjoyed and looked at me expectantly.

Kang Ning, however, still harbored some doubts.

At this moment, Chengzai's secret was completely exposed by me, and his facial expressions became quite varied.

Various colors appeared on his face in turn, and he almost turned on her several times.

I didn't relax at all, gripping the iron shovel tightly, and pulled Wan Ning behind me.

"You're using this completely fabricated excuse to threaten the boss and Wan Ning, trying to achieve your shameless goal. Don't you think you're shameless?"

"You? A fake second-generation official, trying to use Wan Ning as a stepping stone to avoid ten years of hard work?"

That was so satisfying! It gave me a taste of all the nonsense he'd just spouted at me!

"And what you said about the inheritance rights in the village—is that just nonsense you're spouting? Inheritance rights aren't something you can decide, or your uncle, that little village committee worker. Are you just taking advantage of the small-time boss's family?"

I bombarded Chengzai with questions, like bolts of lightning striking him directly.

They beat him so badly he was completely disoriented and couldn't tell which way was which!

Chengzi finally blurted out, "You, you're talking nonsense! You're just a temporary worker, what do you know!"

I laughed dismissively: "What? Even now, you still won't admit it? Should Mr. Kangning, the young master, immediately go and ask one of the other leaders in the village committee? Get all the details about this renovation project and the inheritance rights clarified?"

Chengzai's teeth were chattering, and his expression was a mixture of anger, resentment, rage, and shame!

Wan Ning was overjoyed to hear my resolute statement. Kang Ning, who had been skeptical, became almost entirely convinced, and looked at Cheng Zai with displeasure.
