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

In the past, if Li Cui had seen Li Wu kneel down, admit his mistakes, and cry in repentance, she might have softened her heart.

But over the years, she has witnessed too many instances of Li Wu's capricious domestic violence.

Her heart was already dead.

"Li Wu, stop pretending. This isn't the first time you've said something like this to me."

Li Cui interrupted Li Wu's crying and said coldly:

"I will never trust you again. I'm definitely getting a divorce from you."

"I'm very happy with my job now, and the income is good. I can divorce you in less than six months!"

"At that time, we'll sever all ties and have nothing to do with each other anymore."

When Li Wu saw that Li Cui had really hardened her heart and wanted to divorce him, his face also darkened.

"Li Cui, you bitch, how can you be so eager to leave me?"

"I only hit you a few times when I was drunk, what grown man doesn't hit his wife?"

"I think you haven't been repaired enough. Come home with me right now, or I'll beat you to death!"

After saying that, Li Wu prepared to slap Li Cui a few times.

Seeing Li Wu's slap coming, Li Cui's face instinctively showed fear. Her body froze on the spot, her eyes closed, too scared to move.

After a few breaths, Li Cui felt no pain on her face and opened her eyes.

Then they saw the boss, Liang Ming, grab Li Wu's hand.

"boss?"

"How can you be so stupid? If someone tries to hit you, why don't you dodge?!"

Liang Ming said to Li Cui in an annoyed tone.

From Li Wu and Li Cui's conversation, he also understood the general outline of the matter.

One of my employees married a man who was an abuser and wanted a divorce, but he demanded the return of the dowry before he would agree to annul the marriage.

Now that he sees his employees are making money at the braised duck shop, he's worried his wife will run away, so he goes to her house to try and stop her from going to work.

In this situation, he would naturally support his employees unconditionally.

"who are you?"

Li Wu glared angrily at Liang Ming and said in a deep voice:

"It's none of your business how I discipline my wife! Let go of her right now!"

Liang Ming gave Liang Juan and Qin Fang a wink.

The two women quickly pulled Li Cui away and protected her behind them.

Liang Ming then shook off Li Wu's hand and said in a deep voice:

"I am the owner of Liang Heiya Braised Duck Shop, and Li Cui is my employee."

"You're on my turf, and you tried to beat up my employee. Tell me, does this have anything to do with me?"

When Li Wu saw the young man in front of him, who was younger, more handsome, and richer than him, he immediately felt inferior.

He said somewhat angrily, "Just because you're the boss doesn't mean you're so great. Li Cui and I are dealing with family matters. You're an outsider and have no right to interfere."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming chuckled and said, "First of all, my employee has already made it very clear that she wants a divorce from you, and your marital relationship is about to end."

"Furthermore, even if you are still her husband, you have no right to restrict her freedom to work!"

"The working class leads everything; this is the supreme directive. Are you going to disagree?"

Liang Ming's last words weighed down on him like a mountain, and even the most frivolous Li Wu dared not refute them.

"I, I, I..." Li Wu stammered, unable to speak.

When Qin Fang and Li Cui saw how eloquent their boss was, a look of admiration appeared on their delicate faces.

"Get out of here! You're not welcome here!"

Liang Juan then lashed out at Li Wu and coldly cursed him.

Her experience was very similar to Li Cui's. Although her ex-husband Chen Kun did not beat or scold her, he still treated her like a beast of burden.

Therefore, she deeply sympathizes with Li Cui when she sees her being bullied.

“That’s right, get out of here, you’re not welcome!” Qin Fang chimed in.

Li Wu ignored Liang Juan and Qin Fang. He glanced at Liang Ming and knew that with the other party present, he couldn't forcibly take Li Cui away today.

"Li Cui, I'm asking you one last time, are you going home or not?"

Li Wu turned to Li Cui and asked in a deep voice.

"No!" Li Cui said in a deep voice without thinking.

In the past, Li Cui might have stayed at Li Wu's house until the day of their divorce.

But after what happened today, she's afraid that Li Wu will beat her to death when she gets back.

When Li Cui was determined to divorce him, Li Wu's expression turned somewhat grim.

But soon, he realized something and sneered:

"Fine, Li Cui, if you refuse to go back, I won't force you. I'll agree to your request for a divorce, but the conditions will be changed!"

"Li Wu, what kind of wicked idea are you thinking of now?" Li Cui asked, frowning.

"I'll give you one day. If you can scrape together 600 yuan by tomorrow, I'll go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce."

Li Wu sneered and said:

"But if you don't come tomorrow, I'll increase your compensation by 30 yuan every month thereafter, otherwise I absolutely will not get a divorce!!"

Since this woman is determined to get a divorce, I might as well take the opportunity to make some more money off drinks.

"Li Wu, you..."

Upon hearing Li Wu's words, Li Cui wanted to curse him as despicable and shameless.

But before she could say anything, Liang Juan and Qin Fang grabbed her hands at the same time.

Li Cui looked puzzled and was about to ask them what was wrong.

She saw Liang Ming not far away, giving her a wink, as if telling her to agree.

"Okay, I promise you. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning!"

Trusting her boss, Li Cui immediately said to Li Wu.

"Heh, I'd like to see where you're going to get 600 yuan tomorrow!"

Li Wu sneered and mocked Li Cui.

After saying that, he left.

"Boss, why did you make me agree to Li Wu's request?"

“You know perfectly well that I don’t have 600 yuan on me to compensate Li Wu.”

As soon as Li Wu left, Li Cui looked at Liang Ming with a worried expression and said...

Before Liang Ming could speak, Qin Fang spoke first:

"Li Cui, you silly woman, you may not have money, but our boss does."

"This mere 600 yuan is just a drop in the ocean for our boss."

Upon hearing this, Li Cui's face lit up with surprise. She looked at Liang Ming with her beautiful eyes and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"Boss, would you lend me 600 yuan?"

She longed to escape the misery of the Li family immediately.

Every day I stayed at the Li family's house was torture.

To everyone's surprise, Liang Ming shook his head upon hearing this: "I'm not one to lend money to others."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang's smile froze.

A look of disappointment also appeared on Li Cui's face.

So, I guess I was just being too unrealistic?

"Xiao Ming, Li Cui is so pitiful, you can't just stand by and watch her die!"

Liang Juan, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up and said to Liang Ming:

"Besides, you were the one who made Li Cui promise to pay money to redeem herself tomorrow!"

"If you go back on your word like this, I'll go back and tell my sister-in-law, and she'll teach you a lesson!"

"Yes, boss, please help Li Cui. At worst, I'll pay off part of the money she owes you," Qin Fang chimed in.

Hearing his aunt and Qin Fang's words, Liang Ming smiled helplessly and said:

“I only said I wouldn’t lend money, not that I wouldn’t help Li Cui.”

Qin Fang and Liang Juan were both confused when they heard this.

Liang Ming stopped wasting words, turned to Li Cui, and said bluntly:

“Li Cui, I can help you with this 600 yuan, but it's not a loan; it's an advance on your salary.”

"I will set aside enough for your living expenses for the next two years, and I will deduct the rest of your salary to make up for this 600 yuan."

Are you willing?
