Reborn in 1981, starting by smashing my iron rice bowl.

Seeing Wang Shujuan's expression, Liu Weidong couldn't help but ask her in a low voice, "Sister, what's wrong? You look so preoccupied."

"I...I'm worried about you." Wang Shujuan hesitated for a moment before expressing her concerns: "If we confront the village chief directly like this, he'll definitely find more ways to make things difficult for us. After all, he's an official, and we're just ordinary people. I'm afraid you'll suffer!"

Liu Weidong chuckled, "He's just a village chief, what kind of official is he? If this old guy knows what's good for him, fine, but if he dares to make things difficult for us, we'll make him regret it sooner or later!"

Liu Weidong now completely disregards Wang Deli, and he certainly has the confidence to say so. He's only letting Wang Deli off the hook for now because his actions haven't crossed any lines. If the old man goes too far, Liu Weidong will immediately complain to Wei Guohui and have this incompetent village chief dismissed in a heartbeat!

However, in Wang Shujuan's eyes, the village chief was already a very high-ranking official, so she still worried, "The people can't fight against the officials, I'm afraid..."

Liu Weidong took Wang Shujuan's hand and stood up, gently pulling her into his arms to comfort her, "Sister, believe me, we'll be fine. I'm not the same person I used to be. Wang Deli still wants to make things difficult for us? No way!"

Recalling Liu Weidong's recent actions, Wang Shujuan felt a little relieved and nodded gently, saying, "Yes, I believe you!"

Feeling Wang Shujuan's care and trust, Liu Weidong was moved and hugged her tightly, keeping them close together.

Wang Shujuan also put her arm around Liu Weidong's broad shoulders, enjoying this warm moment that belonged to the two of them.

As the weather gets warmer, the two are wearing increasingly lighter clothing. Holding each other tightly like this, Liu Weidong can clearly feel Wang Shujuan's curvaceous figure.

Perhaps it was because she had been eating and dressing better in the past few months, but Wang Shujuan had also gained a lot of weight. Soon, Liu Weidong couldn't help but secretly admire her; he hadn't realized she was so well-endowed when she was dressed warmly in the cold weather!

As Liu Weidong's attention focused on Wang Shujuan's figure, he began to feel a surge of desire. It wasn't that Liu Weidong actually wanted to do anything to his sister right then and there; it's just that her youthful body was incredibly alluring!

Just as Liu Weidong could feel Wang Shujuan's figure, his changes naturally didn't escape her notice. Wang Shujuan was startled at first, then felt her cheeks burning, and quickly twisted her body, trying to break free from Liu Weidong's embrace.

Liu Weidong gasped, "Hiss... Sis, don't move!"

Realizing that Liu Weidong had become even more outrageous, Wang Shujuan, quite frightened, quickly said, "You...you let go!"

Hearing that Wang Shujuan was almost in tears, Liu Weidong could only reluctantly let go of her hands.

Wang Shujuan ran back into the house as fast as she could, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Phew..." Liu Weidong finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face as he muttered to himself, "It's so good to be young, hehe!"

With Wang Shujuan gone, Liu Weidong was left to sort the matsutake mushrooms the villagers had sold him all by himself. For some reason, seeing these clusters of matsutake mushrooms always gave Liu Weidong a feeling of being mocked.

Although Liu Weidong was determined not to go to work, Wang Shujuan was still unwilling to stay idle at home, and went to work in the fields as usual the next day.

Liu Weidong didn't stay at home either, but went to Gonggeng Village to see how Ma Yongxian's acquisition work was progressing.

Although both are village chiefs, Ma Yongxian is much more reliable than Wang Deli, who only knows how to benefit himself.

Liu Weidong was pleasantly surprised to find several baskets of matsutake mushrooms piled up in the village committee office of Gonggeng Village, roughly estimated to weigh seventy or eighty jin! What pleased him even more was that Ma Yongxian had also received a basket of truffles! The profit from just this basket of truffles alone could amount to several thousand yuan!

Even so, Ma Yongxian was still not satisfied. He said to Liu Weidong with some helplessness, "The time is really too tight. There are only this many matsutake mushrooms right now. If I had more time, I could definitely get more!"

"Village Chief Ma, don't worry. I'll keep buying matsutake and pig mushrooms. We'll see what happens!" Liu Weidong reassured Ma Yongxian with a smile. "If you're worried about fresh matsutake spoiling, you can dry them and sell them to me. I'll give you an extra two yuan per pound!"

Ma Yongxian was overjoyed and said with a big smile, "Oh, I'm relieved now, Comrade Liu, thank you so much!"

"Village Chief Ma, you're too kind. We're all friends, so we should help each other out," Liu Weidong said modestly with a smile. He quickly added, "Let's hurry up and weigh them. It's getting late, and I need to take the matsutake mushrooms back with me!"

Ma Yongxian, of course, did not object. He quickly found two villagers to help him weigh the matsutake mushrooms and truffles in front of Liu Weidong.

There were a total of 73 jin of matsutake mushrooms and more than 5 jin of truffles, which made Liu Weidong very happy.

According to the price agreed upon by Liu Weidong and Pierre, the total value of these items was over 3,700 foreign exchange certificates. Converted to RMB, that would be over 5,300 yuan, instantly turning Liu Weidong from a near-ten-thousand-yuan household into a true ten-thousand-yuan household!

In high spirits, Liu Weidong didn't hesitate and immediately gave Ma Yongxian over two hundred yuan at three yuan per kilogram.

Matsutake mushrooms and pig mushrooms, which usually go unsold at the market, were actually selling for money, which made Ma Yongxian very happy. He immediately told Liu Weidong that he would definitely supply him with these two types of mushrooms continuously.

Liu Weidong stated unequivocally that he would buy as many matsutake mushrooms and porcini mushrooms as he could get. He would buy them at the agreed price and would not go back on his word!

Liu Weidong hung two large baskets of matsutake mushrooms on either side of his bicycle and leisurely rode home. Luckily, people didn't pay attention to traffic rules back then, and no one bothered him along the way. Decades later, if someone were to carry two such large baskets on a bicycle, they would definitely be pulled over and fined by the traffic police in no time.

After returning home, Liu Weidong began to sort through the newly purchased matsutake mushrooms. However, he had only sorted half of them when someone started banging on the door.

Liu Weidong asked in a deep voice, "Who?"

"It's me, Brother Weidong!" Hao Jianjun's angry voice came from outside: "Open the door! Wang Dahai is a real scoundrel, he's infuriating me!"

The matter that could anger Hao Jianjun so much must be serious, so Liu Weidong quickly opened the door and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Hao Jianjun said angrily, "Sister Shujuan was doing her job well, but not long ago that bastard Wang Dahai actually made her carry manure!"
