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

Hearing this from the father and son, Liang Ming's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he murmured:

"Judging by the time, my sister's college acceptance letter should have arrived by now, right?"

"With my sister's grades, she will definitely have no problem getting into a political and law university in our province."

"I wonder when the admission notice from the University of Political Science and Law will arrive in the village. My sister has been waiting for it!"

Speaking of which, my younger sister Liang Jing has been busy with the Xiangmanlou Restaurant these past few days and hasn't even paid much attention to the news about her college acceptance letter.

My sister has been busy for over a month and has learned quite a bit about things at the grassroots level.

Next, she should have a good two weeks of fun, and then happily go to school.

Just as Liang Ming was pondering his sister's future and drinking tea to sober up for half an hour, Jiang Meizhuang finally returned.

Upon seeing Liang Ming drinking in the hall, Jiang Meizhuang smiled and said:

"Brother Liang Ming, we can go back now. Where are your car keys? I'll drive."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming didn't waste any words, took out the key, and handed it to Jiang Meizhuang.

Starting the diesel tricycle was naturally Liang Ming's job.

The diesel tricycles of this era are not the kind of vehicles that start with a turn of a key like in the future.

The key only unlocks the door of the diesel tricycle; to start the vehicle, you have to take out a lever and crank it vigorously a few times inside the front of the vehicle.

Liang Ming would naturally not allow Jiang Meizhuang to do something so indecent.

"Dudududu!"

As Liang Ming cranked the lever, the engine of the diesel tricycle roared to life.

"Sister Meizhuang, we can go now."

After Liang Ming got into the car, he said to Jiang Meizhuang.

"Okay!" Jiang Meizhuang didn't waste any words and drove the diesel tricycle back to Liangjia Village.

When they returned to Liangjia Village, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

In Liangjia Village, every household had finished cooking dinner and was eating in their own courtyards.

The sound of Liang Ming's diesel tricycle engine was quite noticeable in Liangjia Village.

Many villagers came out to watch after hearing the noise.

Upon seeing Liang Ming, they all greeted him warmly.

"Liang Ming, you're back so late? Have you had dinner yet? I've prepared dinner in my room, come and have some."

"Go away, go away! With your meager groceries, it's fine for yourself, but to serve them to guests, aren't you ashamed?"

"What did you say? Is your family's food better than mine? If it weren't for Liang Ming helping you make money, your family would still be eating pickled vegetables and dried radishes right now."

Seeing that the villagers were about to start arguing, Liang Ming quickly stopped them, saying that he had already eaten dinner.

After hearing Liang Ming's words, the villagers stopped arguing.

"Brother Liang Ming, you have a lot of prestige in the village, don't you?"

After saying goodbye to the villagers, on the way to Liang Ming's house, Jiang Meizhuang smiled and said to Liang Ming.

Liang Ming smiled and said, "They are just grateful to me for taking them to dig for mountain products and pick fruit, and for finding them to work in the factory. It's just a favor I did for them."

"The villagers in our village are very simple and honest. They like whoever treats them well."

"If it were someone else who helped them become rich, they would be grateful to that person just the same."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Meizhuang said to Liang Ming, "But no matter what, you are helping them now, so it's only right that they are grateful to you."

"Without you, they don't know how long they would have had to wait to live the life they have today."

Jiang Meizhuang is a smart woman; she can see the essence of many things.

She knew that Liang Ming's words were a humble way of downplaying his own contributions.

But she saw Liang Ming's contributions, so naturally she had to speak up for him.

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming also smiled.

It's not easy to find a woman who can stand by your side, think about you, and speak up for you.

In his past life, Song Mei never stood by his side or spoke up for him.

Song Mei would only stand from the perspective of her younger brother and her parents.

Speaking of which, I wonder how Song Mei and Song Qiang are doing now.

I heard they've been arrested for using illegal substances in their restaurant.

So many days have passed, the trial should be over by now, right?

In any case, seeing the Song siblings go inside made the resentment he had been holding in subside considerably.

"Liang Min, I don't care about all that. You have to get your son to find a way to get my son and daughter out, or I'll never let your family off the hook."

"That's right. If your son's shop hadn't been investigated, my son and daughter's shops wouldn't have been implicated. You also bear responsibility for this!"

Before Liang Ming even got close to his own yard, he could hear a commotion coming from inside.

The two voices were very familiar, and upon closer listening, Liang Ming recognized the owners of the two voices.

It was Song Mei's parents, Song San and Zhou Min!

"Why are they here?" Liang Ming asked, frowning and looking rather grim.

"Liang Ming, is someone causing trouble at your house?" Jiang Meizhuang also heard the commotion in the courtyard and asked with concern.

"Just two clowns," Liang Ming said coldly.

Although he said that, he still told Jiang Meizhuang about his grudges with Song Mei, Song Qiang, and the Song family.

After listening, Jiang Meizhuang frowned slightly and said, "The Song family is so unreasonable. Their children run a restaurant, but instead of relying on their skills to retain customers, they resort to all sorts of crooked tricks."

"Now that the health department has found out, they've teamed up with the local police station and arrested you. They're actually coming to cause you trouble!"

At this point, Jiang Meizhuang said to Liang Ming, "Brother Liang Ming, you go into the yard first. You don't need to argue with them. I'll go to the township police station and ask the officers there."

"No need for that," Liang Ming said with a smile, stopping Jiang Meizhuang.

"This is Liangjia Village, our own village. Why would we be afraid of being bullied by outsiders?"

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang looked puzzled.

Liang Ming immediately whistled.

In less than three minutes, Gou Dan, A Ma, Ji Wa, and the others arrived with more than a dozen young and strong villagers.

"Brother Liang Ming, has something happened?"

"Brother Liang Ming, who do you want us to beat up?"

"Brother Liang Ming, are you alright?"

Seeing the concerned looks on Chicken Baby, Dog Egg, and Ama's faces, Liang Ming also smiled.

He used to be the king of the kids in Liangjia Village. Whenever something happened, he could gather all the kids in the village with just a whistle.

He's happy to see that his whistle still works so well.

"It's not a big deal, but we do need your help."

Immediately, he briefly told his companions about the trouble caused by the Song couple in the courtyard.
