Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

"Mr. Liang, I understand what you mean. I will keep an eye on what the Second Sports Equipment Factory is up to."

Qin Fen said.

Seeing that Qin Fen understood his meaning, Liang Ming didn't waste any words, waved his hand, and told Qin Fen to go back first.

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Meizhuang noticed Liang Ming's somewhat drunken state and couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Liang Ming, you're so drunk, how can you possibly drive back to Liangjia Village?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming stood up with a smile and waved his hand, saying, "Sister Meizhuang, don't underestimate me. I can drive again after a little wine."

In those days, the main means of transportation on the roads were bicycles, mule carts, and tractors.

Traffic regulations weren't that strict, and there wasn't really a concept of drunk driving or driving under the influence.

However, in those days, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets at night.

When a person is drunk and drives a diesel tricycle on the road, the biggest danger is that they might make a mistake and drive into a ditch.

"Let me take you home."

Seeing that Liang Ming was walking unsteadily, Jiang Meizhuang was not at ease and decided to speak.

"No need, it's still a long way from the county town back to Liangjia Village."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming sobered up somewhat and quickly replied.

"How could I let a young lady like you take me home?"

"Enough talk, get in the car."

Jiang Meizhuang didn't give Liang Ming a chance to refuse, and said firmly.

After helping Liang Ming into the vehicle, she took the hand crank from the vehicle, got off, walked to the front of the vehicle, and started the tricycle engine by hand cranking.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

As the diesel engine started, Jiang Meizhuang drove the Shuangfeng brand tricycle towards Liangjia Village.

Liang Ming was indeed a bit drunk. After getting on the bus, he leaned against the carriage and fell asleep in a daze.

Before they knew it, the tricycle had already left the county town and was driving on a country road lined with rice paddies and fruit trees on both sides.

"Big brother is back."

When the diesel tricycle returned to Liangjia Village and stopped in Liangjia's courtyard, Liang Jing's voice could be heard immediately from inside.

With a rustling sound, Liang Min and his wife, Aunt Liang Juan, and Sister Liang Jing all came out of the courtyard.

But when they saw Jiang Meizhuang helping the drunk Liang Ming out of the car, they were all stunned.

"Uncle Liang, Aunt Li, Liang Ming drank a lot of alcohol. I was worried about him driving back alone, so I drove him back myself."

Jiang Meizhuang immediately spoke up to explain.

Upon hearing this, they seemed to wake from a dream.

Liang Min quickly took Liang Ming from Jiang Meizhuang and helped him back into the house to rest.

"Good boy, thank you for bringing Xiaoming back. Why don't you come inside and have a cup of hot water?"

Li Lan held Jiang Meizhuang's hand and said warmly.

Where can you find such a dignified, virtuous, good-earning, and beautiful girl?

It's like the Liang family's ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke that their son is dating such a wonderful girl.

"No, Aunt Li, it's getting late, I have to hurry back to the county town."

Jiang Meizhuang looked at the dark night sky and politely declined.

"It's so late, isn't it too dangerous for a young woman like you to walk home alone at night?"

Aunt Liang Juan said with some concern after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Li Lan also felt that this was not a good idea. She pulled Jiang Meizhuang aside and said, "Good child, why don't you stay here tonight? We can have Xiaoming drive you home when it's light tomorrow."

Hearing Li Lan's words, Jiang Meizhuang felt both nervous and a little expectant.

"Wouldn't this be a bad idea?"

Li Lan thought Jiang Meizhuang was worried that staying overnight would damage her reputation, so she quickly said:

“Good boy, the people in our village are not the kind of people who like to gossip.”

"If you're really worried, you can sleep in the side room."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang quickly waved her hand and said, "Aunt Li, that's not what I meant..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Jing, who was standing next to her, grabbed her hand and said:

"Sister-in-law, you can sleep with me, my room is very big."

Finally, she added, "We're worried about you going back alone."

"And when my brother sobers up tomorrow and finds out that we made you travel back in the middle of the night like this, he'll definitely scold us."

Upon seeing Aunt Li, Liang Jing and the others said this, and Jiang Meizhuang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement;

"Alright then, I'll stay here for one night."

Upon hearing this, Liang Jing cheered and said:

"Great! I want to sleep with my sister-in-law!"

She had longed for an older or younger sister since she was a child, someone to chat with her before she went to sleep at night, and then she would drift off to sleep.

Now, it can finally be realized.

Seeing Liang Jing's excited expression, Li Lan and Liang Juan both shook their heads and chuckled.

That night, Jiang Meizhuang lay on her future sister-in-law's bed, feeling a strange mix of emotions.

Hearing Liang Jing recount the funny stories she and her older brother Liang Ming had when they were little, Jiang Mei couldn't help but laugh.

He was chased by the village dogs along several village roads.

While catching shrimp in the stream, my little one got pinched by a crab.

Jiang Meizhuang never expected that Liang Ming, who was usually very steady and mature, had so many embarrassing stories from his childhood.

Later, Jiang Meizhuang also learned about the story between Liang Ming and Song Mei from Liang Jing, and silently made a mental note of it.

"If we really get married in the future, and he dares to raise his voice at me, I'll settle old scores with him."

Jiang Meizhuang thought to herself.

In the next room, Liang Ming, who was already snoring drunk, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He pulled the blanket up and went back to sleep.

The two girls' private conversation in the room lasted until two or three in the morning before finally ending.

The next morning, Liang Ming walked out of the house in a daze. The liquor he drank the night before had made him a little tipsy.

When he saw Jiang Meizhuang washing up in the courtyard, Liang Ming thought he was still drunk.

He rubbed his eyes three times, and after confirming that the girl in the floral dress and ponytail in front of him was indeed Jiang Meizhuang, Liang Ming was completely stunned:

"Sister Meizhuang, what are you doing at my house?"

Seeing Liang Ming's bewildered expression, Jiang Meizhuang felt a mischievous urge and immediately put on a wronged look, saying:

"You have the nerve to say that? Last night you were so drunk you were completely out of it. After I brought you back, you grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave, you even..."

At this point, Jiang Meizhuang feigned a sob and said:

"In short, you have to take responsibility for me..."

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming froze on the spot.

Did I do something utterly beastly last night?

But I don't seem to feel anything?

"Sister Meizhuang, did I really do something to you?"

Liang Ming asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Brother, you want to shirk responsibility? Then I'll have to uphold justice and call the police from the village right now."

Before Jiang Meizhuang could speak, Liang Jing came out of the kitchen and said to Liang Ming.

"How could I? With such a beautiful wife, of course I have to take responsibility."

Liang Ming quickly replied.

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang and Liang Jing exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

After spending the night together, they became best friends.

Seeing Jiang Meizhuang and Liang Jing laughing, Liang Ming asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"I've taken responsibility, isn't that enough?"
