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

Looking at the menacing Wang Deli, even Liu Weidong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly. It really is true that good people don't live long, but bad people live a thousand years. This old bastard was even involved in a murder case, yet he was still released. His luck is really too good. Even Liu Weidong was quite surprised.

Wang Deli, now free, was also very pleased with himself. He went straight to Liu Weidong and glared at him fiercely, saying, "Don't think that you can get away with everything by using some tricks to send Dahai in. I, Wang Deli, am still the village chief, and I'm still the one who calls the shots in Hexi Village!"

Liu Weidong said calmly, "Then you should cherish your time as village chief, because there won't be many more opportunities like this."

"Bullshit!" Wang Deli didn't believe Liu Weidong's words at all, and shouted loudly at the villagers who had gathered to watch the commotion: "Listen up, Su Youren! I, Wang Deli, am sworn enemies with Liu Weidong! No matter who gets too close to Liu Weidong, don't blame me for being rude to them!"

After making this threat, Wang Deli stormed off, leaving a group of villagers looking at each other in bewilderment.

They had all heard what the village chief had said, and they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

If Wang Deli had been arrested and sentenced, everyone would have readily supported Liu Weidong. But now that the old man has been released, people can't help but wonder if they should continue to get too close to Liu Weidong.

After all, everyone knows that Wang Deli is a very narrow-minded person. Offending him will definitely lead to retaliation, and that's no joke!

Seeing the hesitation on everyone's faces, Liu Weidong chuckled inwardly. Wang Deli thought he could use the village chief's power to isolate him? Well, let him see the power of money again!

"You've all come at the perfect time! I have some good news to announce!" With that thought, Liu Weidong said loudly and unhurriedly, "From now on, I will no longer accept fresh matsutake mushrooms!"

"Ah, I still have two pounds of matsutake mushrooms at home!"

"Are you not accepting them anymore from now on?"

"Wei Dong, you promised Third Grandfather that you would keep buying matsutake mushrooms and pig-head mushrooms."

"Yes, it's only been a few days, how could they have changed their minds so quickly!"

Liu Weidong's words immediately caused an uproar among the villagers, who began to complain.

Many people are worried about the matsutake mushrooms they haven't sold yet, while others think Liu Weidong has chickened out and doesn't dare to go against Wang Deli anymore, which is why he stopped buying matsutake mushrooms.

Facing the excited crowd, Liu Weidong smiled and continued, "Everyone, please be quiet and let me finish. We will indeed stop buying fresh matsutake mushrooms, but we will continue to buy dried matsutake mushrooms, and the purchase price will be even higher!"

It turned out that Liu Weidong was a buyer of dried matsutake mushrooms, which immediately put everyone at ease, and they listened with anticipation to Liu Weidong announce the new price.

This was exactly the effect Liu Weidong wanted. In the midst of the silence, he announced loudly, "To thank everyone for their support, I have decided to raise the price of dried matsutake mushrooms to thirty-five yuan per jin!"

"What?"

"Did I hear that right?"

"Thirty-five? Wei Dong, you've got it wrong!"

Everyone reacted similarly to the price; some thought they had misheard, while others believed Liu Weidong had misspoke.

Liu Weidong said earnestly, "I'm not wrong, it's thirty-five. As long as the quality is up to standard, I'll take as many as you have!"

The villagers were all smiles, saying they would go up the mountain to find matsutake mushrooms and dry them, guaranteeing that the dried matsutake mushrooms they gave to Liu Weidong would be the best.

Those villagers who had previously considered keeping their distance from Liu Weidong have all changed their minds and decided to support him to the end!

Whoever is willing to pay such a high price for dried matsutake mushrooms will immediately receive everyone's support. One pound of dried matsutake mushrooms is almost half a year's income; no matter what Wang Deli says, it's useless!

Looking at the smiling faces of the villagers, Liu Weidong sneered inwardly. Wang Deli's attempt to use his position as village chief to intimidate him was utterly delusional. As long as he could bring tangible benefits to everyone, let alone a mere village chief, even the town mayor would be powerless to resist. That's how effective money really is!

In fact, Liu Weidong had already planned to raise the price of dried matsutake mushrooms. After all, the price he promised Ma Yongxian was 25 yuan per catty, and there was no reason for the price in his village to be lower than outside, otherwise people would criticize him.

The current price for Ma Yongxian is 20 yuan per jin, which is almost double the price in the village. This is a reasonable explanation no matter what.

Liu Weidong pressed on, saying, "I might be away from the village often, so if you have dried matsutake mushrooms, just go to Hao Jianjun. I'll give him some money later; it'll be cash on delivery, unlike some people who delay paying you!"

These "some people" obviously refer to Wang Deli. That old bastard is incredibly greedy; he always delays distributing his year-end bonuses, just so the money stays in the bank a few more days, and of course, he pockets all the interest.

The villagers, of course, understood perfectly, and smiled knowingly. They naturally leaned more towards Liu Weidong and opposed the greedy Wang Deli from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Weidong also reminded everyone that truffles can also be sold. However, unlike matsutake mushrooms, truffles can be stored for a long time, so they don't need to be dried; they should be bought fresh.

The villagers readily agreed and then dispersed. A few impatient ones rushed up the mountain, hoping to find more matsutake mushrooms before the others.

Others also shared the good news with their families, and the news of what happened at Liu Weidong's doorstep quickly spread throughout the village.

This matter, of course, did not escape Wang Shujuan's notice. She immediately rushed home and asked Liu Weidong with great concern, "Weidong, is the village chief deliberately trying to make things difficult for our family? What should we do?"

Liu Weidong chuckled, "Sister, you don't need to worry at all. Wang Deli is just the village chief. Does a nobody like him think he can make things difficult for us? He's not qualified!"

Wang Shujuan was still worried and said, "Even if the village chief is a small official, he's still an official. We're just ordinary people. What if..."

"Unless something goes wrong, this old bastard can't do anything to us." Liu Weidong confidently told Wang Shujuan, "Wang Deli came to our house today and made some threats. He seemed aggressive, but it just means he's furious. As long as we don't take him seriously, the old man will lose his composure. If Wang Deli makes even the slightest mistake, I'll make him pay!"

Liu Weidong wasn't just making empty threats; he had already spoken to Wei Guohui about it before. If Wang Deli made even the slightest mistake, Liu Weidong would report him, and he'd definitely be in deep trouble!

Seeing her younger brother's confidence, Wang Shujuan gently patted her chest and said, "I'm relieved to hear that. I was so worried just now, my heart is still pounding!"

Seeing Wang Shujuan's pitiful appearance, Liu Weidong was also moved and quickly said in a serious tone, "Really? Let me see just how fast your heart is beating!"

As Liu Weidong said this, his hands were not idle either, slowly reaching towards Wang Shujuan's full breasts.
