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

The scalper was terrified and regretted bringing Liu Weidong along. This kid was asking for trouble, and now he'd dragged him down with him! He'd really got himself into a mess!

However, Liu Weidong remained calm and smiled, saying, "Tiger, don't be angry. I really won't pay back my cousin's money! As for the purpose of this money, I just want you to teach my cousin a lesson!"

Tiger asked in surprise, "What do you mean by this?"

"My point is simple," Liu Weidong said casually. "Anyway, my cousin definitely won't be able to pay back the money. You'll find someone to teach him a lesson sooner or later. I just hope you can move the date forward a little. That way, you can maintain your prestige in the underworld and also earn extra income. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

Tiger paused for a moment before frowning and saying, "Let me sort this out. You mean you're paying me to teach your cousin a lesson and break his leg?"

"No, no, I'm just reminding you that my cousin definitely can't pay back the money. Rather than dragging this out, it's better to make a clean break!" Liu Weidong said calmly. "As for this money, I don't know where it came from, but it's definitely not mine. So whatever happens to my cousin in the future, it has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Tiger was also a member of the underworld, so he naturally understood what Liu Weidong meant. He gave him a deep look and said, "Young man, you've thought this through quite thoroughly. Okay, I understand. Consider this a friendly gesture."

"Tiger is a really straightforward man!" Liu Weidong placed another stack of money on the table and smiled slightly. "This Thursday afternoon at two o'clock, I'll be meeting my cousin outside the ice rink in Zhongshan Park. Tiger, what do you think..."

Tiger nodded immediately and said, "No problem, you just need to wait and watch the show!"

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Master Tiger." Having achieved his goal, Liu Weidong didn't intend to stay any longer. He quickly stood up and said, "Master Tiger is very busy, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll take my leave now!"

Tiger also stood up and said, "Alright, then I won't keep you any longer. I'll see you off!"

Mao Tou was immediately shocked, hardly believing his ears. Tiger Lord was actually personally escorting Liu Weidong out—what a huge honor! It seemed he truly admired this young man!

"Thank you, Tiger!" Liu Weidong remained calm, then said casually, "By the way, although my cousin's family isn't very wealthy, they own a house in the city, which should be worth a few hundred yuan. If you could find a way to get his house, Tiger, it would at least recoup some of the debt, right?"

Tiger was truly taken aback by Liu Weidong. He gave him a serious look and said, "Young man, you're ruthless!"

Liu Weidong smiled and said, "If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm. Tiger, don't you agree?"

"Haha, well said!" Tiger laughed appreciatively. "Young man, just for those words, I'll definitely take care of your cousin perfectly well. Don't worry!"

After thanking Tiger, Liu Weidong quickly left.

Tiger watched him leave with Yellow Ox, squinted his eyes, and muttered to himself, "It's interesting that this kid has friends like this!"

The burly man next to him whispered, "Tiger, are we really going to teach this kid's cousin a lesson?"

"If you take the money, you have to do the job; that's the rule of the underworld!" Tiger said in a deep voice. "Besides, this matter can also help us establish our authority, so we absolutely have to do it! You personally arrange for a few reliable people to handle this matter well. Also... if we get arrested by the police, you know what to do, right?"

The man nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, even if we get arrested, it definitely won't implicate us. I'll make the arrangements right now!"

"Wait!" Tiger called out to his men again, his face expressionless, and ordered, "Tell them that this time I want Liu Guoxing's two legs, consider it a gift for that kid!"

Time flies, and Thursday is here in the blink of an eye.

To avoid getting blood splattered on him when he got to work, Liu Weidong specially found an old set of clothes to wear, and then excitedly prepared to go out.

"Weidong, wait a minute!" Wang Shujuan called out to Liu Weidong, asking him worriedly, "Are you sure nothing will happen?"

"Sister, just wait for my good news!" Liu Weidong comforted Wang Shujuan, then gently hugged her and said, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything, nothing will happen!"

Although she was still worried, Wang Shujuan always listened to Liu Weidong, so she just nodded slightly and said nothing more.

When Liu Weidong arrived at the ice rink in Zhongshan Park, Liu Yongfu and his son were already there.

Seeing that Liu Weidong was late and taking his time, both men were a little angry. Liu Guoxing couldn't wait to ask him, "Did you bring the money?"

Liu Weidong patted his bag and said calmly, "Let's find a quieter place. There are too many people here!"

Liu Yongfu and his son glanced at the people skating in the nearby skating rink and both showed wariness. They quickly nodded in agreement with Liu Weidong's suggestion.

Back then, people who went rollerblading were either hooligans or women looking for sex; basically, there weren't any good people there. It wouldn't be surprising if they found out Liu Weidong had so much money; they might have just robbed him.

In the early 1980s, public security was already poor, and there weren't many surveillance cameras everywhere. Such robberies were very difficult to solve, and even if you were lucky enough to catch the criminals, they would have already spent most of the money.

Liu Yongfu and his son had finally managed to coerce Liu Weidong into paying money, but they didn't want others to take advantage of them.

Liu Weidong walked ahead with a cold smile, heading towards the grove of trees next to the skating rink. Liu Yongfu and his son quickly followed, their faces beaming with joy at the thought of soon receiving a large sum of cash.

The smug father and son failed to notice that several young men who had been loitering nearby had quietly followed them. Two of them had bulging lower backs, clearly indicating they were carrying weapons.

The grove was very quiet, with a stone table and several stone benches. Liu Weidong sat down at the table and casually placed his bag on it as well.

Liu Yongfu and his son had no intention of sitting down to talk. Liu Guoxing stared greedily at the briefcase and said, "Now that you've got the money, when do you plan to let Shujuan marry me?"

Although Liu Yongfu felt that it was better to handle things one step at a time, and that his son's words were a bit too hasty, he still chimed in, "Weidong, you can't let your sister marry empty-handed, you have to prepare some dowry!"

Liu Guoxing said loudly, "My requirements aren't high. Just prepare a three-ring watch, a gold ring, and five hundred yuan in cash!"

Liu Yongfu still wasn't satisfied with that, and quickly added, "Your sister is still a rural resident and doesn't have a job yet. She can't just live off us after marrying into our family. From now on, you'll give me two hundred yuan every month as living expenses for your sister!"
