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

"Liu Weidong!" Wang Dahai roared, pointing fiercely at Liu Weidong, "You little brat, you killed my brother, and you still have the nerve to come back!"

Wang Deli's face was very gloomy. He stared at Liu Weidong and said, word by word, "Liu Weidong, we are all from the same village, yet you are helping outsiders to deal with your own people. This... is a bit unreasonable!"

Wang Dahai roared, "Uncle, stop wasting time talking to this kid! I'm going to settle the score with him today!"

Wang Deli said in a sinister tone, "Dahai, as long as the Liu family is still in this village, we have plenty of ways to deal with them. There's no need to rush!"

Liu Weidong suddenly realized why everyone's reaction to his return was so strange; it was all because of these two guys.

The two men knew that Wang Dashan was a wanted criminal, yet they still dared to threaten Liu Weidong in public. They were really arrogant and thought they could do whatever they wanted in Xihe Village!

At the same time, Liu Weidong was also a little puzzled. He had clearly told Wang Jianzhong about the two people's doubts, so how could Wang Jianzhong still act so arrogantly in the village? Was Wang Jianzhong's efficiency really that bad?

However, now that the pretense of civility had been broken, Liu Weidong naturally wouldn't give the two a friendly look. He immediately sneered, "Village Chief, Wang Dahai, you'd better get this straight. Wang Dashan is one of your own, not mine! We can ask the other people in the village, who didn't breathe a sigh of relief and secretly cheer when the police eliminated this menace?!"

Liu Weidong would never admit that he killed Wang Dashan; he would rather give the credit to the police.

These words resonated with everyone. Although no one dared to express their opinion publicly, they all nodded in agreement in their hearts.

Everyone knows what kind of person Wang Dashan is, so when he returned to the village a few days ago, many people started to worry. Those who had previously had conflicts with him were especially anxious, feeling that they were in for another rough time.

So when they learned that Wang Dashan had died during the police manhunt, many people secretly cheered. They were simply afraid of retaliation from Wang Deli, so no one dared to show it.

Although the villagers watching remained silent, Wang Deli could tell from their expressions that everyone thought Liu Weidong's words made sense!

Wang Deli was even angrier now, and shouted fiercely, "What, you all want to rebel? Don't forget I'm the village chief. Anyone who tries to help this kid, don't blame me for being ruthless to him in the future!"

Wang Dahai, eager to avenge his brother, said impatiently, "Uncle, why waste time arguing with these people? Today I'm going to teach this kid a lesson. Anyone who dares to stop me will be beaten up too!"

As he spoke, Wang Dahai grinned and walked toward Liu Weidong, revealing the wooden stick in his hand.

Seeing that this guy was really going to make a move, Liu Weidong frowned secretly. Under normal circumstances, this lazy guy would be no match for him at all.

However, Liu Weidong's stitches haven't been removed yet, and if he gets into a fight, the wound could easily reopen, causing further injury.

Wang Shujuan shared the same concerns as her brother. Seeing Wang Dahai stride forward menacingly, she quickly stepped forward to block Liu Weidong.

Wang Dahai was even angrier than he expected this woman to ruin his plans, and he wanted nothing more than to teach her a lesson.

However, hitting a woman in public would easily provoke public outrage, so Wang Dahai could only say fiercely, "Wang Shujuan, get out of the way! This is between Liu Weidong and me. You're a woman, so don't interfere, or I'll hit you too!"

Although Wang Shujuan was also very scared, she still mustered up her courage and stood in front of Liu Weidong, saying, "You are not allowed to bully my brother!"

Seeing that Wang Shujuan was determined not to let him pass, Wang Dahai began to mock Liu Weidong again: "Liu Weidong, all you can do is hide behind a woman, are you even a man?"

Liu Weidong hadn't intended for his sister to deal with this, so he gently put his arm around Wang Shujuan's shoulder and said, "Sister, step aside, I'll handle him!"

This was the first time Wang Shujuan had such close contact with Liu Weidong in front of everyone, and she immediately blushed with embarrassment.

Even so, Wang Shujuan, who was determined to protect Liu Weidong, gently shook her head and said, "No, your injury hasn't healed yet!"

"Damn it, enough with the nonsense! I'll beat them both up!" Seeing the two of them dawdling like that, Wang Dahai got even angrier and charged at them with a loud shout.

Liu Weidong quickly pushed Wang Shujuan away, determined to take a beating himself rather than let his sister get hurt.

In the short time it took to get there, Wang Dahai rushed over and brought his stick down hard on Liu Weidong.

"Stop!" Hao Jianjun, who had just arrived, shouted angrily and kicked Wang Dahai in the stomach.

Wang Dahai involuntarily took a few steps back, feeling as if his internal organs were being twisted together in a stomachache, and tears welled up in his eyes from the pain.

"Pah!" Hao Jianjun spat at Wang Dahai and shouted at the guy, "If you want to make things difficult for my brother Wei Dong, you'd better ask me, Hao Jianjun, for permission first!"

His childhood friend still supported him as steadfastly as in his past life, which deeply moved Liu Weidong. He whispered to Hao Jianjun, "Thanks, brother!"

Hao Jianjun chuckled and said, "Brother Weidong, you're being too formal. Do we need to say such things between us?"

Wang Deli was furious and said, "Hao Jianjun, you want to go against me too? I think you don't want any of this year's work points!"

For farmers, a year's work points equal their income for the year. Wang Deli used this method to control the villagers, and it was always successful.

However, Hao Jianjun wasn't buying it this time. He said with a look of disdain, "Wang Deli, you think you can scare me with that pittance? Everyone works hard in the fields all year, and in the end, they only earn a few dozen yuan. What good is that these days? If I follow Brother Weidong, I can earn more than a hundred yuan a month. Why should I listen to you?"

These words also reminded the villagers who were watching, and they all nodded in agreement, suddenly realizing the truth. They all felt that Wang Deli wasn't as scary as before, and that offending him wasn't such a big deal!

Wang Deli shouted angrily, "Are work points just money? If the village doesn't distribute grain to you at the end of the year, your two families will starve!"

However, Wang Deli's threats did not frighten Liu Weidong at all. He patted Hao Jianjun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as I have something to eat, you will definitely not go hungry! In this day and age, if you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy food."

Wang Deli said viciously, "Liu Weidong, you're engaging in speculation and profiteering, inciting others to sabotage the village's production. I'm going to report you to the town authorities and have the police arrest you!"

As soon as Wang Deli finished speaking, two jeeps drove up and parked not far away. Several uniformed police officers got out of the cars and walked towards them with serious expressions.

Wang Deli immediately burst into smug laughter: "I wasn't wrong, was I? The police are here to arrest you!"
