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

Feeling his authority challenged, Wang Deli frowned unhappily and said, "What else do you want?"

“Village Chief, I think this incident has really hurt Brother Jianguo a lot,” Liu Weidong said calmly. “Not only has his reputation been damaged, but he has also suffered a severe blow to his mental health, and he was even injured by them! So they must give Brother Jianguo some financial compensation, including compensation for damage to his reputation, compensation for mental distress, and nutritional expenses—nothing should be missing!”

"Economic compensation... damage to reputation, damage to emotional distress?" Wang Deli muttered these unfamiliar terms, then suddenly realized, "You mean... we should make them pay us money?"

Liu Weidong smiled and said, "That's right, they hurt Brother Jianguo, so it's only right that they pay some compensation!"

"Yes, Weidong, you're absolutely right!" Wang Deli was very satisfied with the suggestion and immediately announced, "Besides helping with the village work, each of you will compensate Jianguo fifty yuan, and that'll settle the matter here!"

"Fifty..." Liu Weidong couldn't help but shake his head. Wang Deli's vision was too narrow, it was truly speechless.

However, in those days, fifty yuan was a lot of money for ordinary farmers. The work points they earned in half a year of hard work could not be exchanged for that much money!

However, Wang Deli was the undisputed leader in the village, and now that the three of them had offended him, they dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

Zhao Baojun and the others' expressions all changed drastically, and Qi Haixia even burst into tears on the spot: "I'm just a woman, where would I get so much money!"

Wang Deli gave Qi Haixia a malicious look and said in a serious tone, "Ahem... I will definitely take special care of female comrades. Qi Haixia, come to my house when you have time and let's discuss how to compensate for this money!"

Qi Haixia immediately understood Wang Deli's implied meaning and secretly gave him a flirtatious wink, saying, "Okay...okay, village chief, we'll listen to you!"

People these days are still quite simple and honest, especially the villagers who haven't seen much of the world. No one could tell that there was something fishy going on.

Only Liu Weidong secretly curled his lip, never expecting that Wang Deli, despite his advanced age, was still young at heart, trying to take advantage of that young widow, and wasn't afraid of getting a stroke.

However, Qi Haixia wasn't a good person either; she had just tried to frame Liu Weidong, so he couldn't be bothered to get involved. He simply greeted Wang Deli and his son and prepared to go home.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the others dispersed, each one beaming with delight. They'd really enjoyed this gossip today; they wouldn't have to worry about running out of things to brag about until the Spring Festival!

Zhao Baojun kept his head down, not wanting others to see his resentful expression, and gritted his teeth inwardly, saying, "Liu Weidong, you just wait, this isn't over!"

Unbeknownst to Zhao Baojun, Liu Weidong was also wearing a cold smile at this moment.

To Liu Weidong, Zhao Baojun had already committed a heinous crime by nearly killing Wang Shujuan. Now that he was trying to frame him, he couldn't be allowed to live!

Now Liu Weidong is just waiting for an opportunity. Once the time is right, he will beat this bastard to death with one blow, leaving him no chance to resist!

Liu Weidong and others' opportunity lies in the few days surrounding the Spring Festival. There's still a month or so until then, so let Zhao Baojun gloat for a few more days!

When Liu Weidong returned home, Wang Shujuan had already boiled the eggs and was patiently waiting for him.

Seeing this beautiful, kind, and well-behaved girl, Liu Weidong's mood improved considerably. For her safety and happiness, Zhao Baojun must die!

"There are four eggs left, two for each of us, let's eat!" Liu Weidong smiled at Wang Shujuan, picked up an egg, peeled it, and put it directly into her bowl.

"Ah... thank you!" Wang Shujuan whispered her thanks, feeling somewhat flattered. In her memory, Liu Weidong had never been so kind to her before!

If Liu Weidong knew what Wang Shujuan was thinking now, he would definitely feel extremely guilty. He had been so foolish when he was young, and he owed this girl far too much.

Actually, Wang Shujuan was also hungry by now. She ate the egg in a few bites and then drank the sweet potato porridge with great satisfaction.

Seeing this, Liu Weidong peeled another egg and was about to put it in Wang Shujuan's bowl when she refused.

"I...I can't eat anymore, you eat." Wang Shujuan said softly that she was full, her gentle and sweet appearance was extremely cute.

However, Liu Weidong was not fooled and insisted on putting the egg into Wang Shujuan's bowl: "Sister, don't try to fool me. One egg is enough to fill you up. Do you think you're a cat?"

Wang Shujuan quickly replied, "I still have porridge!"

"This porridge is so thin it's like water, it'll be gone in a pee, how can it possibly fill you up!" Liu Weidong said in a deep voice, "Sister, didn't I tell you, now that I can earn money, don't deprive yourself too much, eat up!"

These words brought tears to Wang Shujuan's eyes, and she almost shed tears of emotion. She nodded vigorously and obediently ate the egg.

"That's right!" Liu Weidong was finally satisfied. He ate his egg in a few bites, then instructed Wang Shujuan, "Go to the market tomorrow and buy some meat and eggs. Remember to make sure you get enough nutrition every day! You're too thin right now. You'd look better if you gained some weight. I like that kind of look. Got it?"

These words made Wang Shujuan blush and her cheeks burn. She nodded silently, her ears turning red.

Liu Weidong smiled as he admired Wang Shujuan's adorable appearance, growing to like the girl more and more.

However, Liu Weidong also knew that he had hurt Wang Shujuan too much in the past, so he couldn't rush things. He had to take it slow and gradually build a closer relationship so that she would naturally accept him.

The next morning, Hao Jianjun excitedly came to find Liu Weidong. After all, this was five yuan a day; anyone would be excited about that.

Liu Weidong told Wang Shujuan and then went out with Hao Jianjun.

Because he needed to go to the county town, Hao Jianjun took out his family's bicycle. It was an old, run-of-the-mill bike that rattled everywhere except for the bell.

Even so, this bicycle is the most valuable thing in Hao Jianjun's family, and the whole family cherishes it very much. After all, there are still many families in the village who don't have bicycles, and Liu Weidong's family is one of them.

These past few days, Liu Weidong has had to borrow a bicycle from his neighbor every time he goes to the county town, and he's gotten a little embarrassed about it after a while. Yesterday, on his way back, he even bought some fruit and delivered it to someone's house.

Today, Liu Weidong had to borrow a car again, and at the same time, he secretly decided that he would buy a bicycle as soon as he had the chance, so as not to always bother others.

Hao Jianjun pedaled his bike very fast the whole way, and asked Liu Weidong curiously, "Brother Weidong, which boss wants us to work this time? What exactly do they want us to do, and why are they paying us such high wages?"

Liu Weidong said with a smile, "Actually... you know this boss too!"
