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

Liu Weidong's face immediately darkened, and he threw the matsutake mushrooms in his hand on the ground, saying, "Go take a look!"

"It's at the east end of the village, I'll take you there!" Hao Jianjun hurriedly led the way, complaining to Liu Weidong, "Brother Weidong, Sister Shujuan is too stubborn. We all told her to rest, and we'd help her choose. But Sister Shujuan wouldn't let us help, she insisted on choosing herself, and wouldn't let me tell you!"

Liu Weidong's face darkened further, and he frowned deeply, saying, "You don't understand. My sister isn't being stubborn; she's just afraid that if I find out and go to Wang Dahai to reason with him, I'll suffer the consequences!"

Hao Jianjun suddenly realized, "So Sister Shujuan was thinking of you! She's really amazing!"

"So we absolutely cannot let my sister suffer any injustice!" Liu Weidong said resolutely, then whispered to Hao Jianjun, "I'm going to find Wang Dahai later, you take a few people with you..."

After hearing Liu Weidong's instructions, Hao Jianjun rubbed his hands together and said, "Wang Dahai relies on his uncle being the village chief and doesn't respect anyone. I've wanted to teach this bully a lesson for a long time. Brother Weidong, just you wait and see!"

"Be careful, don't let this guy see us!" Liu Weidong solemnly instructed Hao Jianjun, then quickened his pace and ran towards where his sister was carrying manure.

Carrying manure is dirty and tiring, arguably the hardest farm work. So, in the surrounding villages, there's an unspoken rule: only men are assigned to carry manure, and women are never allowed to do it.

But Wang Dahai deliberately arranged for Wang Shujuan to carry manure, which was clearly a way of retaliating against Liu Weidong. No wonder he was so angry!

Liu Weidong jogged all the way to the east end of the village and soon saw his sister carrying manure. The heavy buckets of manure made it difficult for her to walk, and her slender and tall body swayed as if she might fall at any moment.

Wang Shujuan was covered in filth, and the stench was nauseating. To make matters worse, she was an exceptionally clean girl, making the journey even more difficult.

However, in order to prevent the village from finding any fault with Liu Weidong, Wang Shujuan gritted her teeth and worked hard, just so as not to cause him any trouble.

But for a young woman, carrying manure was far too strenuous a task. Although Wang Shujuan tried her best to persevere, her legs involuntarily gave way, and she was about to fall to the ground with the manure bucket in tow.

Just at this critical moment, Liu Weidong arrived in time, grabbed Wang Shujuan, and forcefully threw the manure bucket and carrying pole far away.

Wang Shujuan felt a moment of dizziness, but Liu Weidong had already firmly supported her. She managed a smile and said to him, "Weidong, what brings you here?"

Looking at Wang Shujuan, who was pale and almost exhausted, Liu Weidong was both angry and distressed. He frowned and said, "Sister, let's not do this work anymore. Come home with me!"

But Wang Shujuan gently shook her head and said, "No, the village chief said that if even one person doesn't finish their work, everyone's work points will be deducted. I can't let everyone blame you because of me!"

Liu Weidong said anxiously, "What time is it? Why are you still worrying about such trivial matters? Go back and take a shower and get some rest!"

Wang Shujuan hesitated, "But..."

"No buts, listen to me!" Liu Weidong interrupted Wang Shujuan decisively: "I'll handle everything else, you go home and wait for me!"

The words "Wait for me at home" warmed Wang Shujuan's heart, and she nodded gently, saying, "Then...then I'll go back first."

"Go quickly, I'll be back to find you soon." Liu Weidong nodded to Wang Shujuan, picked up the load she had thrown down, and strode towards the place in the village where the compost was stored.

Liu Weidong frowned after only a few steps. The load was incredibly heavy; even a young man would struggle to carry it. The villagers at the composting site were deliberately making Wang Shujuan, a young woman, carry such a heavy load—they were clearly trying to make things difficult for her.

"Looks like I need to teach someone a lesson, or they'll really think I'm easy to bully!" Liu Weidong muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, and soon arrived at the composting area.

At this moment, Liu Weidong finally understood why his sister's load was so heavy. It turned out that Wang Dahai was guarding the place, personally supervising how much compost the villagers were putting into the buckets.

It was obvious that Wang Dahai was targeting Wang Shujuan, and Liu Weidong was furious, wishing he could immediately go up and teach the guy a lesson.

However, he absolutely could not let Wang Deli find any fault with him right now, so Liu Weidong barely suppressed his anger, strode up to Wang Dahai, and threw the two wooden buckets heavily on the ground.

The compost in the bucket immediately splattered everywhere, and many of the manure splattered onto Wang Dahai.

"Hey, hey, Liu Weidong, what are you doing?!" Wang Dahai, who had just been smug, suddenly shouted loudly, immediately accusing Liu Weidong: "This is deliberately sabotaging the village's production work. Who gave you the guts to do this?"

Liu Weidong wouldn't fall for such a trap, and immediately shouted, "Don't try to pin this on me! You deliberately arranged for my sister to carry manure; what are your true intentions?"

Wang Dahai feigned innocence and said, "What ulterior motive could I possibly have? It's just a normal work arrangement!"

"Normal my foot!" Liu Weidong shouted. "Which village in this area would assign women to carry manure? You're clearly making things difficult for my sister; this is what sabotages the village's production!"

At this point, Liu Weidong addressed the villagers around him, saying, "Everyone, please judge for yourselves, is it reasonable to make women carry manure? Today, Wang Dahai has a problem with me, so he deliberately arranged for my sister to do this. If someone offends him tomorrow, he'll arrange for your women to do the same thing. We can't let him have such absolute power in the village!"

Although Liu Weidong knew that Wang Deli was definitely behind this, he cleverly pointed the finger only at Wang Dahai. Since he wasn't the village chief, the others had fewer concerns.

Villagers with women in their households were particularly worried that Wang Dahai would use the same methods against them in the future after breaking the rules this time. So they all stood up to express their opinions and criticized Wang Dahai for assigning women to carry manure.

Wang Dahai was also a little confused. What kind of ability did Liu Weidong have to make so many people say that he was wrong to his face? No one had ever dared to do that before!

What Wang Dahai didn't expect was that the village was no longer Wang Deli's sole authority. Liu Weidong not only had financial power, but also the support of his third great-grandfather, so his uncle's reputation was naturally not as intimidating as before.

However, Wang Dahai was still unwilling to let it go so easily. Pointing at Liu Weidong, he shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! There's no rule in the village rules that says women can't carry manure. It's perfectly reasonable for me to assign this job to Wang Shujuan, and nobody can find fault with it..."

However, before Wang Dahai could finish speaking, a figure crept up behind him, picked up a bucket of excrement from the ground, and slammed it down on the guy's head!
