My Terrible Life in Those Years

Old Liu, that idiot, must have seen Wan Ning right behind me. He just paused for a moment, not only did he not give me any hints, but he also deliberately grilled the food while glancing sideways at us. That scanning look probably made him look Wan Ning up and down.

While marveling at Wan Ning's beauty, he was probably secretly delighted and ready to laugh at me and make a fool of myself. He pointed at me and said a few words that would give Wan Ning something to rub against me!

Ideally, Wan Ning would be able to retaliate against me!

Do you think I'd let this kid make a fool of himself?

Looking at Uncle Ye's ambiguous smile, which made me feel like I was bragging, I got angry.

"Uncle Ye, do you just think I'm bragging?"

Uncle Ye nodded in agreement.

I jumped to my feet: "I'm already working on the renovation, and I've made some progress. Don't worry, I'm going to risk everything to ruin it."

"And another thing, Uncle Ye, does that bastard Chengzai even deserve a beautiful and kind girl like Wanning? I've only known Wanning for a few days. If I had known her earlier, Kangning would already be my brother-in-law! For that, I'd have to work my ass off, don't you think?"

I think my height is okay. Although I'm not strong, I'm muscular. I stood straight under the streetlight, looking righteous and full of emotion. It's a shame that Miss Panpan wasn't here. She would have definitely taken a picture of this scene, which made her look so brave and straightforward. It's such a shame!

Old Liu had already gotten a sense of what was going on after my warning on the way, but it was the first time that Uncle Ye and Wan Ning had heard this.

Uncle Ye never expected me to be so bold.

He actually said such provocative things in public, and with Wan Ning present, and he exhaled all the smoke he had just inhaled, coughing as if it were an unusual occurrence.

I could feel a faint fragrance wafting from behind me, so I quickly took a step forward and gently patted Uncle Ye's back.

"Hey, Uncle Ye, what happened? Did you catch a cold? Did you catch a chill? Why are you coughing like that?"

I didn't hold back either, telling him to set a trap and be cheeky. I applied a little more pressure and slapped him so hard that he actually started coughing.

Then, I clearly felt a force attacking my back.

I pretended not to notice and cried out as I was hit.

Wan Ning fled from behind me, and I heard her say, "Shameless!"

Saying that Kang Ning is my brother-in-law is tantamount to saying that Wan Ning is my woman; it's really shameless.

She must have blushed and her heart must have been pounding, otherwise why would she have almost fallen while running and been running so unsteadily!

Although those three words were an open insult, I could tell from their tone that the speaker was a mix of shame, anxiety, and annoyance at my bluntness.

But I felt a great sense of relief; I could tell that she didn't really blame me.

That's just a natural reaction of a girl who suddenly hears a passionate confession and feels shy!

The chicken leg that Old Liu was eating fell directly to the ground.

He muttered to himself, "Goodness, Peach Blossom River's level of romantic talk has advanced again? Reaching level six and a half?"

He strode over and pointed at Wan Ning's retreating figure as she entered the shop: "Is this Aunt Jiang?"

I nodded, then shook my head: "Her name is Wan Ning, not 'Sister Jiang,' but 'Sister-in-law Jiang'!"

Uncle Ye chuckled and gave me a thumbs up, then prepared to go grill something.

"Uncle Ye, I'll talk to you later. I need your help with something really important."

I just had a casual chat with Uncle Ye, and an idea popped into my head.

If this matter is truly handled and resolved from above, perhaps Uncle Ye could be of great help to me!

He agreed and then went about his business.

Old Liu came running over.

Looking at the faint, alluring figure in the shop, she angrily snapped at me, "Hey, hey, what a beautiful flower!"

I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to his words, which implied he was calling me cow dung. Seeing Wan Ning busy in the shop, I suddenly felt a sense of peace.

"Hey Liu, take note. There are some things you can't have just by envying them!" I chuckled.

"You, you're just going to ruin such beautiful young girls!"

As he gritted his teeth, Wan Ning brought out a cup of tea and handed it to Lao Liu.

"Hello, are you a friend from Jiangning? I'm Wanning!"

Old Liu quickly stood up straight: "I'm this guy's classmate, best friend, brother, Liu Yuming. Hello, Sister Jiang! Oh!"

Before I could finish speaking, I kicked him.

She was easily embarrassed, and upon hearing the words "Sister Jiang," her pale face immediately flushed red.

She glared at me fiercely: "Stop, stop joking!"

He turned around and ran back into the store.

I stood there grinning like an idiot for a long time, until a customer got impatient and urged me to order and serve the food.

That evening, Lao Liu also helped me out, busy taking orders and grilling things for me.

Whenever I had free time, I would go over and ask Uncle Ye all sorts of questions, wanting to know in detail how Wan Ning and I met and how our relationship developed.

How could Uncle Ye know these details? Besides, given his personality, even if he did know, he would never tell this kid.

On several occasions, he would take the time to greet and chat with Wan Ning.

I don't even need to listen to know what this kid is up to.

Unable to obtain the information he sought from Uncle Ye, he steeled himself and directly attacked the female lead.

He was disappointed again. Wan Ning was so thin-skinned that she was even less likely to reveal any more details to him.

However, on one occasion, when the young boss of Kangning heard him call Wanning "Sister Jiang," he immediately intervened to stop him.

"Don't shout nonsense! They have absolutely no relationship; it's just a boss-employee relationship."

He was in a bad mood and wouldn't be polite to him.

Old Liu was extremely surprised: "Old Jiang, your brother-in-law doesn't seem to like you much? Why does he always have such a sour face?"

I countered with a question: "If you had a fruit tree that had been planted for over ten or twenty years, and the fruit was finally about to ripen, how would you feel if a stranger, especially a poor migrant worker, tried to pick it all?"

Old Liu, caught up in the situation, exclaimed, "Damn it, I'll just grab a hoe and kill him!"

"That settles it! Do you understand now?"

Old Liu was stunned for a while before he came out of his emotional state and gave me a thumbs up again.

I, the one who was supposed to pick the fruit, was completely unharmed and was even able to stay in the shop the whole time, which is quite impressive.

Around 11 o'clock, after seeing off a group of guests, Lao Liu and I went to Uncle Ye's place to rest for a while.

"Speak, Jiang boy, what do you want help with?" Uncle Ye was very proactive this time.

Actually, I could sense that he had some attachment to this stall. He wasn't like a typical temporary worker who would only stay for a few days and then leave.

Therefore, he would be willing to help if there was an opportunity to salvage the situation.

"Uncle Ye, could you help me look up someone's information? I need his workplace and his wife's detailed information."

Uncle Ye was taken aback, never expecting me to make such a request. After a moment of silence, he said, "Tell me, who are you investigating?"

"At the Municipal Planning Bureau, there's a deputy section chief named Zhong Yang. I need all his information, especially his wife's! It'll be very useful!"
