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

Hearing Liang Ming's words, Li Cui immediately understood that Liang Ming was helping her, and nodded quickly.

"Yes, I do."

As long as she can get rid of her abusive husband, she'll work for Liang Heiya for the next few years, let alone get an advance on her salary.

She would be willing to serve Liang Heiya like a slave for the rest of her life.

"Okay, let my aunt accompany you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce tomorrow morning. After that, rest for a few days before coming back to work."

Without saying a word, Liang Ming took out 600 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Cui.

"Boss, I can come back to work as soon as I finish my divorce. I don't need to rest," Li Cui said gratefully as she took the money.

"Whatever you want," Liang Ming said without adding anything further.

Liang Ming had no idea that his simple act of kindness would add a super-powerful female general to his future business empire.

Since Li Cui has decided to get a divorce, she will naturally not return to Li Wu's house.

Qin Fang simply took her back to her own home and they spent the night there.

Liang Ming drove his tricycle, carrying his aunt, to Stone Village first.

"Liang Ming, are you here again to buy more ducks?"

When Zhang Wen saw Liang Ming, his eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile.

Every time Liang Ming came to see him, it was always something good.

He's actually starting to look forward to Liang Ming's arrival.

“Village Chief Zhang, you’re right. Starting tomorrow, I’m going to buy an additional 100 ducks.”

Liang Ming nodded and smiled:

"These 100 ducks are for the students to eat, so you have to pick the best ones for me."

“Look at what you’re saying. No matter who you’re feeding them to, the ducks sold from our village will always be of good quality,” Zhang Wen said.

Finally, he exclaimed, "Brother Liang Ming, your braised duck business is getting bigger and bigger. You're making 500 ducks every day now."

“If our village hadn’t already started harvesting ducklings on the mountain, I would really be afraid that we wouldn’t be able to supply your orders in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming chuckled and said, "Village Chief Zhang, you're being a bit boastful. Isn't it good to sell a lot of ducks?"

"The villagers' incomes have increased considerably now, haven't they?"

He and Stone Village are in a supply-demand relationship; they prosper together and suffer together.

“Of course it’s a good thing!” Zhang Wen said with a smile. “So I hope your business will grow bigger and bigger, and that our village’s collective income will also increase.”

After the two boasted to each other for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Liang Ming took his leave.

The next morning, Liang Juan urged Liang Ming to drive her to the county town.

She wanted to stay with Li Cui, so she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Qin Fang stayed at the braised duck shop to braise ducks.

Now, the "Liang Heiya" braised duck shop braises 500 ducks every day.

Liang Ming was worried that Qin Fang wouldn't be able to finish all the work by herself, so he stayed to help as well.

"Boss, do you think Li Cui will be able to successfully divorce her abusive husband?"

Qin Fang chatted with Liang Ming while braising the duck.

"It's hard to say," Liang Ming said, shaking his head.

"What do you mean? Didn't Li Cui already take the money and go? Is that bastard going to go back on his word?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang's heart tightened, and she said...

"It's normal for a man who can hit a woman when he's drunk to go back on his word."

Liang Ming put dozens of ducks into the brine and simmered them while speaking.

"What can we do then? Is Li Cui destined to never get rid of that bastard?"

Upon hearing Liang Ming's words, Qin Fang angrily slammed her spoon onto the braising pot and said...

"Don't worry, Li Cui will definitely be able to get a divorce. If the other party is unwilling to agree to a divorce, she can go to court and file for divorce."

Liang Ming took the ladle from Qin Fang's hand and started turning the duck in the braising liquid as he spoke.

"File for divorce? Is that even possible?"

Qin Fang was taken aback. She was just a woman who hadn't received much education and didn't understand those legal provisions.

"Of course you can. The process of filing for divorce is not complicated now. As long as you want a divorce, you can finish the case very quickly."

Liang Ming glanced at the braising pot and saw the duck inside slowly turning into caramel color. He smiled, put the lid on, and explained.

In the late 70s and early 80s, social attitudes were not as enlightened.

Many couples experience marital discord and want a divorce, but there are many sources of resistance, including both spouses, parents, and workplaces.

If the person's superiors or neighborhood officials don't budge, or if their spouse absolutely refuses to divorce, it will be very difficult for them to get a divorce.

However, around 83, after several cases of women committing suicide in despair due to unsuccessful divorces occurred across the country, the country began to pay attention to such incidents.

For couples who want a divorce, and it has been confirmed that one party is at fault, leading to the breakdown of their relationship, a divorce may be granted.

"I hope everything goes well for Li Cui and that she can escape this misery soon. If all else fails, then I'll file for divorce!"

After hearing Liang Ming's explanation, Qin Fang clasped her hands together and said expectantly.

Soon, with Qin Fang's help, Liang Ming had braised all 500 ducks.

It was almost noon, and seeing that Li Cui and the others hadn't returned yet, Liang Ming decided to deliver the braised duck first.

"I'm going to deliver the braised duck first. When Li Cui comes back later, if she hasn't gotten a divorce, please comfort her."

Before leaving, Liang Ming said to Qin Fang.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang was about to nod in agreement when she saw two figures walking towards her from not far away.

"Boss, look, Li Cui and the others are back."

Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Liang Ming turned to look.

Sure enough, Li Cui and her aunt Liang Juan came back from outside.

The two men had indifferent expressions, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"So, Li Cui, have you and Li Wu divorced?"

Qin Fang leaned closer and asked with a concerned expression.

Li Cui gritted her teeth and shook her head.

"What's going on? Didn't you take the money with you? Did Li Wu go back on his word and refuse to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang said angrily:

"Damn it, that bastard, I'm going to find him!"

After saying that, Qin Fang prepared to stand up for Li Cui.

Liang Ming waved his hand to stop her and chuckled, "Qin Fang, don't go. Li Cui has already successfully divorced."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang was taken aback: "Divorced? Didn't Li Cui say..."

Before Li Cui could finish comforting them, Li Cui and Liang Juan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

"Haha, Li Cui, I told you long ago, this little trick won't fool my nephew," Liang Juan said.

"Boss, how did you figure out I was divorced?"

Li Cui looked at Liang Ming curiously and asked.

"You've suffered so much in the Li family for so many years, and you finally have a chance to get a divorce!"

"If the divorce doesn't go through and all hope is lost, any normal person would cry!"

"But I didn't see any tears on your face!"

Liang Ming chuckled.

Upon hearing her boss's words, Li Cui suddenly realized that she had made too many mistakes.

Seeing Liang Ming's handsome smile, Li Cui's heart skipped a beat.

The boss is not only young and handsome, but also good at making money and treats his employees well.

After my divorce, I don't plan to get married again anyway.

If I could become the boss's woman, even without a formal title, it wouldn't seem to matter much...
