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

"That damn Wang Deli, it's that old bastard again!" Liu Weidong recognized the leader at a glance, cursed under his breath, and strode forward.

Wang Deli hadn't yet noticed that Liu Weidong had returned, and was still viciously threatening Wang Shujuan and the others who were blocking the way in front of their private plot: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, taking back this land is the town's decision! Anyone who dares to obstruct it is going against the town, and they'll definitely suffer the consequences!"

Besides Wang Shujuan, the only ones who stopped Wang Deli were the villagers Liu Weidong had invited to help. Hearing that stopping him from causing damage to his private plot was tantamount to going against the town, they all showed expressions of fear.

After all, these were honest villagers, and in their minds, the town mayor was an extremely important official. Now that they were doing this, which was actually going against the town mayor, they were all secretly having second thoughts.

In fact, Wang Shujuan was also very scared, but when she thought of Liu Weidong's high hopes for these clivia plants, she mustered up her courage and stood up, saying, "This is our family's private plot. We can plant whatever we want. Even the town can't interfere. Why should we listen to you?"

"How dare someone go against me!" Wang Deli roared. "Wang Shujuan, I advise you to behave yourself. Going against the government will not end well. Be careful or you'll be arrested and thrown in jail!"

Despite Wang Shujuan's usual gentle demeanor and soft-spoken manner, she was now filled with fighting spirit to protect her younger brother's hard work, almost like a completely different person.

Faced with Wang Deli's blatant threat, Wang Shujuan retorted without backing down, "You say we're going against the government, so we're going against the government? Words alone aren't enough. Unless you can provide concrete proof, don't expect us to back down!"

Having had more contact with Liu Weidong, Wang Shujuan's thinking became much more flexible. She accurately pointed out the loopholes in Wang Deli's words, leaving the old man speechless and boosting the morale of Aunt Zhao and the others.

"Shujuan is right, we can't just listen to Wang Deli on such a big matter!"

"Exactly, if he can protect a murderer, what else wouldn't he be capable of?"

"We can't let them destroy these things; they're everyone's livelihood!"

Everyone immediately stood up and expressed their determination to stop Wang Deli from damaging the clivia they had been taking care of for a month or so!

Unexpectedly, even after bringing up the town leaders, he still failed to get what he wanted. Wang Deli's face turned ashen with anger, and he said fiercely, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite. What are you waiting for? Get him!"

Wang Deli said this last sentence to the few young men he brought with him.

Since the lesson he learned last time, the old man dared not ask the villagers to help him commit evil deeds again, so this time he specially found a few people from the neighboring village.

The fact that these people could be bribed by Wang Deli shows that they were never good people to begin with. They didn't know anyone in the village, and they wouldn't hesitate to take action, making them the perfect candidates for this kind of thing.

The leader, nicknamed "Mad Dog," was hated by everyone in the village. He only agreed to help Wang Deli in order to earn some extra money.

Seeing that Wang Deli had been arguing with the other party for so long, Mad Dog had long been impatient. He finally got the signal to take action and immediately became eager to try.

"Village Chief Wang, you shouldn't have wasted your breath on these people. You should have just taken action!" Mad Dog sneered, took two steps forward, and grabbed directly at Wang Shujuan's ample chest.

When Mad Dog arrived at the edge of the private plot, he was immediately struck by Wang Shujuan's stunning beauty. He was pleasantly surprised to find such a beautiful woman in this remote village.

Although Mad Dog knew that there was a crackdown going on, he certainly wouldn't dare to do anything to this beautiful woman. However, taking advantage of other opportunities to gain some benefits was fine, and no one could find fault with it!

Seeing the mad dog's outrageous behavior, Wang Shujuan gasped and instinctively backed away. However, after only a few steps, her private plot of land lay behind her, and beyond that, rows of clivia plants; there was nowhere left to retreat.

"You bitch, where do you think you're going to hide?" Mad Dog sneered as he saw his wish about to be fulfilled, feeling incredibly smug.

Just as the guy was about to succeed, Liu Weidong arrived in time and slammed the wooden stick in his hand heavily onto the mad dog's arm with a whooshing sound.

Mad Dog's entire attention was focused on Wang Shujuan, and he was completely unprepared. The blow landed squarely, and with a soft "crack," his arm immediately went limp, broken by Liu Weidong!

Mad Dog stared in astonishment at his limp arm, as if he couldn't believe his arm had been broken. Only when the intense pain spread did he scream loudly, "Ah... my arm is broken!"

Liu Weidong didn't even glance at the mad dog, but instead gave Wang Shujuan a reassuring smile: "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

In fact, Wang Shujuan's heart was about to jump out of her throat, but after seeing her younger brother, she immediately felt that she had someone to rely on and was no longer as scared as before.

"I'm fine." Wang Shujuan smiled slightly at her younger brother, but quickly became worried about him again: "You...you broke this man's arm, what are we going to do?"

Liu Weidong sneered, "He came to our village to cause trouble for no reason and even dared to lay a hand on you. I call this legitimate self-defense! Breaking his arm is too lenient; even if I beat him half to death, he deserved it!"

At this moment, Wang Deli also recovered from his initial shock and pointed at Liu Weidong, shouting loudly: "You, Liu Weidong, dare to openly violate the town's decision and even injure a town staff member. This time, you will definitely go to jail!"

"Village Chief Wang, why are you still arguing with this guy!" Mad Dog, clutching his broken arm, said to his accomplice with a face full of resentment, "Beat him to death!"

Mad Dog's accomplices immediately surrounded Liu Weidong, and two of them even pulled out weapons.

Facing four or five opponents, Liu Weidong dared not be careless. He quickly pulled Wang Shujuan behind him and stood ready with a wooden stick in hand.

Even Wangcai sensed something was wrong. It crouched down beside its owner, staring intently at the people who had gathered around. Although its whole body was tense, it didn't utter a sound, not even a threatening whimper.

However, experienced rural people know that, as the saying goes, "a dog that bites doesn't bark," and the more barking a dog is like that, the more viciously it bites!

Those thugs were experienced; they immediately realized Wangcai was not to be trifled with, and they all watched it warily, afraid of being bitten. So the two sides remained in a stalemate, neither daring to make the first move.

Just then, Hao Jianjun arrived with several young men from the village. From a distance, he shouted, "Brother Weidong, we're here! Who the hell dares to cause trouble in Hexi Village? We'll break their legs!"
