Yang Guang chuckled. “You don’t have to worry about that. No matter how much money I lack, I’ll be able to earn it.”
Qi Yingxue was lost for words.
Although she really believed in Yang Guang’s ability, what he said was a little too boastful. Therefore, she said after a while, “Stop talking nonsense. Don’t tell me that you want to do something illegal.”
“No, I won’t. Just trust me. I will definitely get the money,” Yang Guang said seriously.
Hearing this, Qi Yingxue could do nothing but nod. “It’s best if you can get the money. Even if it’s not enough, I’ll help you with that.”
“Thank you.”
Yang Guang smiled and chatted with Qi Yingxue for a while before hanging up.
In the evening, Xu Ling and Yang Guang sat in the courtyard after dinner and chatted. They talked about what happened during the day. Yang Guang looked at Xu Ling and asked, “Sister Ling, is your uncle’s daughter really a celebrity?”
“Yeah.”
Xu Ling nodded. “My cousin used to be a singer-songwriter. Later, one of her songs became famous and she was well-known. Now, she is preparing to enter the film industry.”
Yang Guang said, “Wow!”
Then, he asked, “I don’t understand. Why did your uncle insist that you go back to the county?”
“It’s a long story.”
Xu Ling sighed and went on, “Actually, it’s not his fault. My uncle is doing this for the Xu family.”
After a while, Yang Guang finally got the whole story.
It turned out that the Xu family was divided into several branches. Xu Ling’s grandfather had three brothers, and his brothers each had four or five children. Only Xu Ling’s grandfather had two children.
If all the people in the Xu family were added together, there were more than fifty people in this big family.
Xu Ling’s grandfather only had two children, and her parents’ generation was awfully competitive. In addition, Xu Guangcai and Xu Guangsheng both had a daughter, so they would always be ridiculed by others in every family reunion.
Xu Guangcai was a petty man. He could not stand others’ contempt. Hence, he vowed to let his daughter and niece both stand out.
After listening to all this, Yang Guang smacked his lips and smiled bitterly. “I really don’t understand the world of adults. Can’t they just live their own life? Why do they have to compare themselves with others?”
Xu Ling shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t understand either. There’s really no point in doing this.”
“Exactly!”
Yang Guang nodded, “No matter how good one looks, that’s just on the surface. Those people think that they’re better than your family, but I believe they all have something that they don’t want others to know.”
“That’s right.”
Xu Ling looked at Yang Guang, smiled, and said, “They are just immersed in their own world. They think that others will not know what is going on in their family as long as they look good. However, it doesn’t work that way.”
“How boring it is!”
Yang Guang shook his head, then looked up at the starry sky, “If it were me, I wouldn’t care about what others say. They can say whatever they want and it won’t do me any harm.”
Xu Ling chuckled and looked at him with a smile. “You are young, but you have a big heart.”
“You are right,” Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and said with a grin.
After chatting for a while, Xu Ling thought that Wu Xiaolian might have fallen asleep with the child, so Xu Ling got up and said, “All right. It’s late. You should go to bed.”
“Okay.”
Yang Guang nodded and watched her return to her room. Then, he went to close the door of the courtyard and walked back to his room.
After closing the door, Yang Guang took out the Spiritual Stone that he used for meditating and began to absorb spiritual energy.
The next day, a yellow pickup truck came to the village and parked in the courtyard of the village headquarters.
The villagers were curious about it. They asked around and found that the people in the yellow pickup truck were all technicians who came here to build the road.
Then, the villagers soon heard about the scenic spots. Not only was the broken cement road from Hongqi Town to Qingshan Village going to be repaired, but the road from the village to the mountains was also going to be built.
As this big news spread, everyone was stunned.
The villagers suddenly realized that Yang Guang was going to make a fortune.
Most of the villagers were just envious of Yang Guang, but there were people who were not happy about that, such as Sun Guoying.
As the chief of Qingshan Village, he had almost no authority now. The villagers were more willing to turn to Xu Ling for help and ignored him.
Plus, Yang Guang had been doing well recently. Therefore, Sun Guoying felt very uncomfortable.
Especially after Sun Guoying heard about the road construction and building of the scenic spots, the anger that he kept aside for a long time was finally ignited.
When the technicians entered the mountains to survey the route, Sun Guoying rode on his motorcycle and headed straight for Hongqi Town.
In the afternoon, Xu Ling received a phone call. The mayor asked her to go to Hongqi Town and said there was an emergency.
Yang Guang was watching the technicians measuring the distance. Nevertheless, when he saw Xu Ling’s anxious look on her face, he quickly ran over and asked, “What’s wrong, Sister Ling?”
“The mayor asked me to go to the town. He said it was an urgent matter and he sounded unhappy,” Xu Ling said.
“Is that so?”
Yang Guang thought for a moment and said, “Could it be related to the road construction?”
After that, he pondered and said to Xu Ling, “I’ll go with you.”
“There’s no need for that. I can go by myself. If it is about the road construction, I will explain it to the mayor,” Xu Ling said.
“That won’t do. I didn’t see any sign of Sun Guoying. Maybe he’s the one who started this. Let’s go and see what’s going on,” Yang Guang said. Then, he reached out to hold Xu Ling’s hand as they walked home.
This time, Xu Ling couldn’t refuse Yang Guang. She could only follow him back and then get on the motorcycle.
Yang Guang started the motorcycle and left the house.
After a bumpy journey, the two of them arrived at the courtyard of the government of Hongqi Town and entered the office together.
There were two people in the room. One was the mayor Qi Qingsong, and the other was the secretary Li Jianshe.
Both of them had an ugly look on their faces. Seeing that Xu Ling arrived, Qi Qingsong ignored Yang Guang and asked her unhappily, “Village Secretary Ms. Xu, what’s going on with the forests in Qingshan Village?”

“After getting the villagers’ agreement, I contracted the forests to Yang Guang,” Xu Ling said.
“He discovered that palace in the mountains when he just got the forests. Is that so?” Li Jianshe asked.
Xu Ling nodded. “Yeah.”
Qi Qingsong and Li Jianshe looked at each other. Then, Qi Qingsong looked at Xu Ling. “You’re putting us in a very embarrassing situation by doing this.”
Xu Ling smiled and replied, “I contracted the forests to Yang Guang legally. Moreover, Yang Guang paid a large sum of money for the forests and I gave it to the villagers.. What do you mean that I put you in a very embarrassing situation?”
