He could actually operate an excavator!
It wasn't just any car, nor a big truck, but a most peculiar excavator!
As far as he knew, no one in the entire town could operate one, yet this fool actually could!
My heavens, this was utterly unbelievable!
Watching the excavator move further away, Wang Yishan's face flushed crimson, as if he had been slapped!
He had intended to use this tactic to threaten Er Zhu, but unexpectedly, it cost him his job...
The more Wang Yishan thought about it, the angrier he became. His hands slowly clenched, a flicker of rage in his eyes.
"Mr. Wang, you're fired."
From behind, the rental company manager, still immersed in shock, suddenly received a message from Er Zhu. After reading it, he spoke immediately, without a trace of hesitation.
This guy is an idiot, trying to threaten the boss. Now look what happened, he tried to outsmart others but ended up losing his own gains!
The man's lips curled into a sneer, his eyes full of contempt.
Wang Yishan's face grew even redder. He wanted to retort, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
He had scoured the entire small town to find this job, and now he was unemployed before even starting.
He suddenly felt like an utter fool!
"Fine, if you don't want me here, I'll find a place that does!"
Although he felt some regret, he still spoke defiantly to the manager.
The manager didn't even bother to look at him, turning and walking back into the building.
...
At the village entrance, Liu Sheng sat on the ground. In front of them lay a wooden board, laden with various dishes and snacks to accompany drinks.
It was evening now, and Uncle Liu and the others had gone home for dinner, and it was time for them to eat as well.
"Brother, that kid hasn't come back all day. I guess he's too ashamed to return, right?"
A man with triangular eyes, while smilingly serving Liu Sheng a dish, said triumphantly.
"Of course. That kid is an idiot. If he were even a little smart, he wouldn't have done something like this."
As soon as the triangular-eyed man finished speaking, a bald man next to Liu Sheng chimed in obsequiously.
"Heh, you've all thought of what you're going to say, haven't you? When that kid comes back, we'll have a good laugh at him."
Liu Sheng chuckled heartily. While enjoying the dishes his subordinates served him, he shouted proudly.
He had encountered too many of these young, pretentious types who boasted about what they could do but were actually useless, as if they were omnipotent. People like that deserved to be taught a lesson by reality!
Liu Sheng's eyes darted around, his mind already conjuring up plenty of taunts that could make someone depressed!
"Brother, look!"
Just as Liu Sheng thought victory was assured, a subordinate's words pulled him back to reality. Following his subordinate's gaze, Liu Sheng's eyes widened, he didn't even notice the steamed bun falling from his hand.
My goodness, it really was an excavator!
And not a small one, but a large one!
Moreover, not only did he have the vehicle, but he also had a driver!
One had to know that operating an excavator required a special license and was extremely difficult to learn!
This seemingly impossible feat had been accomplished!
Liu Sheng's expression shifted several times, the shock in his eyes growing stronger!
At the same time, Uncle Liu and other villagers, having finished their dinner, returned. The moment they arrived, they saw this scene.
"Er Zhu actually rented an excavator!"
A villager exclaimed, pointing at the approaching excavator, while others looked on in awe.
Especially Uncle Liu, whose astonished gaze flickered with admiration.
He was increasingly impressed with Er Zhu now, and he had already made up his mind: Er Zhu would be the next village chief!
Rumble...
The deafening roar brought the villagers back to reality. Er Zhu, controlling the excavator, slowly lowered the boom. The bucket easily scooped up a rock at the foot of a mountain. With a few deft movements from Er Zhu, the bucket firmly dislodged the first piece of mountain rock!
"Breaking the mountain and widening the road!"
Uncle Liu shouted excitedly towards the sky, gazing at the mountain rock in the excavator's bucket.
This matter had weighed on his heart for over a decade, and now it was finally coming true!
Furthermore, he never imagined that it would be the despised Er Zhu who would help him fulfill his lifelong wish!
They, the "normal" people, were truly no match for a fool!
Seeing Uncle Liu's excitement, the other villagers cheered jubilantly. Only Liu Sheng and his group, looking at the continuously working excavator, felt worse than if they had eaten excrement!
They had originally intended to mock that kid, but instead, they had been humiliated by him!
Humiliation aside, they were even paving the road for their village for free...
This was truly a miserably pathetic outcome!
Rumble...
The excavator worked throughout the night. Uncle Liu and the others stayed to watch, while Liu Sheng and his gang had already slunk away.
As dawn gradually broke, the large mountain at the village entrance had been completely cleared.
Looking at the road, now twice as wide as before, Uncle Liu's eyes welled up with emotion.
His long-held wish was finally fulfilled; he could now die in peace!
"Where's Er Zhu? Why isn't he around?"
Just as the villagers were basking in the joyous atmosphere, a villager's remark brought them back.
The villagers craned their necks, searching, but after a long while, they couldn't find Er Zhu.
Er Zhu was the hero of this endeavor, he should be here, but where was he?
"The road is widened, that's all that matters. Why are you looking for me?"
As the villagers searched for Er Zhu, they suddenly heard that familiar, simple-minded laugh. Turning their heads, the villagers were once again stunned by what they saw!
Er Zhu had emerged from the excavator's cabin!
So, Er Zhu was the one operating the excavator!
As the villagers realized this, a trace of admiration flashed in their astonished eyes.
It was already beyond their comprehension that a fool could drive a car, and now he could operate an excavator too!
Tsk tsk, was this a fool? This was nothing short of genius!
"Er Zhu, are you not a fool anymore?"
As soon as Er Zhu landed, Uncle Liu grabbed him, asking seriously.
From designing the plans to operating the excavator, if Uncle Liu still thought Er Zhu was a fool, then he himself would be the biggest fool in the world!
Hearing this, the villagers also gathered around, looking at Er Zhu with confusion.
"Heh heh, I fell and suddenly I know more things."
Er Zhu let out his signature simple-minded chuckle again.
Since he had promised to help the villagers get rich, he knew this couldn't be hidden for long, so he decided to admit it.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
Seeing Er Zhu's reply, the villagers' eyes lit up. They believed that Er Zhu had somehow gained more intelligence after his fall, and they seemed to glimpse a more glorious and prosperous future for themselves!
While everyone rejoiced, Uncle Liu fell silent. He opened his mouth several times, wanting to ask something, but ultimately said nothing.
Shiliu Village was just beginning to show signs of improvement, and there was no one in the village capable of taking on the role of village chief. Er Zhu was becoming more outstanding by the day; he absolutely could not let Er Zhu leave!
