Zhang Yi completely disregarded Aunt Lin's words as if they were mere flatulence.

However, having nothing better to do, he was inclined to toy with this old woman.

"Oh my! Aunt Lin, you're so high - and - mighty! If you're so capable, go and ask Chen Zhenghao and Xu Hao to come downstairs and clear the snow!"

He named them explicitly in the group, without sparing anyone's dignity.

Chen Zhenghao, nicknamed Brother Hao, was a notorious local ruffian.

He was the one who led the charge, axe in hand, when they barged into Zhang Yi's home.

Xu Hao, an overbearing rich second - generation heir, was the first to draw a knife against Zhang Yi.

All in all, among these neighbors, apart from a very few good - hearted ones, the rest had either attacked or robbed Zhang Yi.

He could even surmise that in his previous life, after his death, each of them had a share of his spoils.

Therefore, Zhang Yi cared not for anyone's face and blatantly ripped off their masks of decency to disgust them.

Aunt Lin's expression changed the moment she looked at her phone.

Zhang Yi's naming names had put her in a quandary.

After all, if she backed down at this point, she would undoubtedly become the laughingstock of the community.

Moreover, no one would heed her commands in the future.

Left with no alternative, she had to @ Chen Zhenghao and Xu Hao in the group.

"Dear neighbors, the community is our home, and snow - clearing depends on all of us. I hope those of you who are free can bring tools and go out to clear the snow together."

Shortly after, the one with the ID 25#602, Chen Zhenghao, sent several question marks.

Subsequently, a voice message was posted in the group.

"Clear the snow? Clear your damn head! Are you blind? Can't you see the heavy snow outside?"

"Damn it! Are you out of your mind? If you're sick, go to the hospital. Stop yapping here. @ me again, and I'll kill you. Believe it or not?"

Chen Zhenghao cursed Aunt Lin, who had @ed him, in the most vulgar terms.

After listening to this, the owners in the group burst out laughing, clutching their bellies.

This Aunt Lin thought she was someone important, but in reality, they didn't take her seriously at all.

A mere neighborhood committee member only had some influence over ordinary owners.

People like these local toughs wouldn't give her the time of day.

The rich second - generation heir Xu Hao also sent a voice message.

"What the hell does snow - clearing have to do with me? I don't need to work. I can sleep all day at home."

After that, he also sent a picture of himself lying in a thick quilt, with a woman in his arms.

This house was just bought by Xu Hao for his mistress, and he happened to be trapped here.

When Aunt Li asked him to clear the snow, he thought this woman was crazy.

Aunt Lin didn't dare to retort after being cursed by Chen Zhenghao. How could she afford to provoke a real tough guy?

However, seeing Xu Hao's provocation, she still argued stubbornly, "Anyway, you're also one of the owners! Snow - clearing is your obligation."

Xu Hao sneered, "Bah! Am I paying the property management fees every month for nothing? Without my money, you neighborhood committee members would starve to death."

"Damn it! You've been lording it over us with the owners' money every day and acting like you're in charge. Hilarious!"

None of those rich second - generation heirs were simple. Although Xu Hao was idle, he had seen the world.

He simply didn't take a little neighborhood committee aunt seriously.

After saying that, he also mockingly boasted.

"I am where I am today because of the power of my parents and family. Am I the same as you poor bastards?"

"Hurry up and clear the snow if you're going to. You still have to earn your living. Only after the snow is cleared can I get out of this damn place."

Everyone was extremely angry upon hearing Xu Hao's arrogant words.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

But they were all powerless to refute.

Who could blame him for being born with a silver spoon in his mouth?

Although those words were harsh, they were also the truth.

With Chen Zhenghao and Xu Hao's ruckus, everyone was thoroughly disheartened.

Aunt Lin's words became worthless, and no one paid attention to them anymore.

Aunt Lin was furious.

However, in her heart, she wasn't angry with Chen Zhenghao and Xu Hao but with Zhang Yi!

She felt that she had almost successfully mobilized the owners, and it was Zhang Yi, this troublemaker, who had ruined her plan!

So she sent Zhang Yi a private message, asking angrily, "Zhang Yi, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

"What on earth do you want? When I asked everyone to go out and clear the snow, did I mean everyone had to go?"

"Now, great! Everyone refuses to do it. Are we just going to be locked up at home forever?"

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow.

Oh? Here comes someone asking for a scolding?

"Stop pretending, you damned woman! You're a bully and a coward. What are you barking for?"

"You didn't dare to say a word when others cursed you. Now you come to me for a sense of presence?"

"Let me tell you, I'm not one to be trifled with. Bark at me again, and I'll make you pay with your life!"

Zhang Yi had a perfect understanding of Aunt Lin's character.

She was just a worthless bully.

Sure enough, after Zhang Yi's harsh words, Aunt Lin was terrified.

She was an old woman living with her grandson, and only because of her neighborhood committee identity did people show her respect.

But if others ignored her neighborhood committee status and fought with her, she wouldn't stand a chance.

She immediately fell silent, as if afraid of really provoking Zhang Yi.

Aunt Lin quickly blocked Zhang Yi, for fear that he would scold her again.

Her body was trembling, whether from the cold or from fear of Zhang Yi.

"This bastard! He's a complete asshole, a lunatic!"

"Don't provoke him for now. Wait. I'll have plenty of ways to make his life miserable in the future!"

Aunt Lin imagined in her mind how she would make things difficult for Zhang Yi in the future with her neighborhood committee identity.

For example, when distributing living supplies, she would deliberately delay Zhang Yi's share.

Or when there were good community activities, she wouldn't inform Zhang Yi.

She fantasized about Zhang Yi's remorseful look at that time, and even imagined that Zhang Yi would come to beg her for mercy, and she would coldly close the door and say, "Weren't you so arrogant? Be arrogant again!"

Aunt Lin smiled smugly as she thought about it.

"Hehe, there will come a day when you come to beg me!"

"For now, I won't stoop to your level."

Aunt Lin found satisfaction in this kind of Ah Q - style spiritual victory.

Then she continued to go to the group to mobilize others to go out and clear the snow.

Although everyone despised Aunt Lin.

However, since most of them had to go to work in the future and considering their travel problems, some honest people still took tools and braved the sub - zero 70 - plus - degree cold to go out and clear the snow.

Zhang Yi didn't expect that just after scaring off Aunt Lin, someone else came to cause trouble.

This time, he received a WeChat call.

He took a look at the profile picture, and it was none other than Chen Zhenghao from the group.

Apparently, Zhang Yi's mention of him in the group had made him unhappy, so he called to intimidate Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi had already harbored a grudge against this bastard. When he saw the call, he narrowed his eyes immediately.

At this moment, he rather hoped that this blind fool would come to cause trouble for him.

After all, Zhang Yi had no intention of leaving his safe house.

But if anyone dared to come and make trouble, he had plenty of means to make that person's life a living hell!

So Zhang Yi answered the call.
