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

Wei Wanqing was immediately taken aback, looking at Liu Weidong with disbelief, unable to understand why he would say such a thing.

Liu Weidong confidently promised to pay the deposit tomorrow, even though he didn't have a single US dollar in his pocket. Was he kidding? He was ruining his reputation just to trick this foreigner into making a wasted trip. It was a complete loss.

Thinking of this, the strong woman stepped on Liu Weidong's foot under the table to tell him not to make such jokes.

Even Li Aihua asked in surprise, "Can the two of you really come up with so many US dollars?"

Liu Weidong laughed and said, "Why would we lie to people when we'll find out tomorrow? Mr. Li, don't you agree?"

Li Aihua said happily, "That's right, then let's meet at this time tomorrow!"

Seeing that the situation was beyond repair, Wei Wanqing was both disappointed and anxious, and secretly pinched Liu Weidong's waist.

"Hiss..." Liu Weidong gasped, but still smiled and said to Li Aihua, "Mr. Li, see you tomorrow!"

After the two left the Western restaurant, Wei Wanqing immediately complained to Liu Weidong, "What are you doing? Is it fun to lie to people?"

Liu Weidong didn't bother to explain and said directly to the strong woman, "Senior sister, don't worry about it. Let's go back first. Just wait for my good news at home!"

Wei Wanqing returned home with some doubt, and after waiting anxiously for a while, Liu Weidong hurriedly came to her door.

The weather was already very hot at this time of year. Liu Weidong rode his bicycle from the county town to the village and back, and he was also sweating profusely from the heat.

Wei Wanqing immediately busied herself, pouring water, wiping Liu Weidong's face with a damp towel, and even fanning him. This strong and independent woman rarely showed such tenderness to others; not only her husband Zhou Zhenyu, but even her father Wei Guohui had never received such treatment.

The fact that this strong woman is now willing to do this speaks volumes about Liu Weidong's importance to her.

Liu Weidong didn't stand on ceremony with Wei Wanqing. He took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp, then handed the glass back to her, saying, "I'm so thirsty, have another glass!"

"Okay!" The strong woman quickly poured Liu Weidong another glass of water. When she brought the water back, she saw the envelope that Liu Weidong had placed on the table.

Wei Wanqing handed the cup to Liu Weidong and asked him curiously, "What is this?"

"What else could it be? US dollars, of course!" Liu Weidong took a sip of water and casually told the businesswoman, "Here's twenty-five thousand US dollars. I won't be going tomorrow. You can go see Li Aihua yourself!"

Wei Wanqing opened the envelope with suspicion and found that it indeed contained a thick stack of US dollars. Her expression immediately changed drastically.

These days, it's already quite remarkable for ordinary people to have a few foreign exchange certificates. It was really unexpected for this strong woman that Liu Weidong would suddenly produce so many US dollars!

Seeing Wei Wanqing like this for the first time, Liu Weidong felt a little smug and said to her with a smile, "Senior sister, I told you not to worry about it. Now you know I wasn't lying to you!"

The strong woman nodded in disbelief, a relieved smile slowly spreading across her pretty face: "That's great! The sewing machine will be here soon, and my garment factory can finally get on track. Weidong, thank you!"

Liu Weidong waved his hand and said, "No need for thanks, Senior Sister. Let's be clear from the start: this money isn't a gift. Is it alright to exchange it for RMB at a rate of one to eight?"

Wei Wanqing smiled sweetly at Liu Weidong: "No problem, absolutely no problem. I'll go to the bank to withdraw the money tomorrow!"

Although Liu Weidong's words sounded quite blunt, the strong woman knew perfectly well that she had actually gotten a great deal.

These days, US dollars are not something private individuals can own; even if you have money, you can't exchange them! Liu Weidong's willingness to take out so many US dollars to support Wei Wanqing's career shows a sentiment that cannot be described in monetary terms.

After the initial excitement subsided, Wei Wanqing couldn't help but ask Liu Weidong, "Where did you get all these US dollars?"

"Don't ask me that. Anyway, I didn't steal, rob, or cheat. I came from the right path." Liu Weidong sat lazily on the sofa and said to the strong woman, half-jokingly, "Senior sister, you know that foreign exchange is heavily regulated now. I took a risk by doing this. I haven't even told my sister about this. It's a secret between us, so please don't tell anyone else!"

Hearing Liu Weidong's words, Wei Wanqing was even more moved. Liu Weidong was taking a huge risk to help her, something even her principled father probably wouldn't have done!

At this moment, the strong woman didn't know what to say. With red eyes, she looked deeply at Liu Weidong and suddenly sat down on his lap.

"Hey, senior sister, what are you doing!" Liu Weidong asked Wei Wanqing in a panic, but his hands instinctively went to her waist.

The strong woman also hooked her arm around Liu Weidong's neck, a rare hint of charm appearing in her beautiful phoenix eyes as she looked at him deeply and said, "You've been so good to me, how can I thank you?"

Liu Weidong understood Wei Wanqing's meaning, but he immediately pretended to be confused: "Oh, you're my senior sister, do you need to thank me for such a small thing? That's too formal!"

However, Liu Weidong's words failed to persuade the strong woman at all. She said firmly, "No, you must thank me!"

Liu Weidong panicked even more and forced a smile, "Haha, since you want to thank me so much, then treat me to a meal. I want to go to the best restaurant!"

"A meal is no way to thank me!" However, Wei Wanqing wasn't so easily fooled. She slowly moved closer to Liu Weidong and said, "You've helped me so much, you can eat whatever you want!"

The two drew closer and closer, the strong woman's ample bosom almost touching Liu Weidong's face. At the same time, he was surprised to find that his hand, which had been supporting Wei Wanqing's slender waist, had slipped down and was now cradling her full, rounded breasts. In short, their position was incredibly intimate, and taking things further was simply a matter of time!

Liu Weidong swallowed hard, his young body itching to try, and he almost recklessly took the strong woman who was throwing herself into his arms right there and then.

However, Liu Weidong still had the soul of a fifty-year-old. Even at this moment, he managed to control himself and said with a wry smile, "Senior sister, please don't test me anymore. If brother-in-law finds out about this, he will definitely complain to the teacher, and then neither of us will be in a good situation!"

When Liu Weidong mentioned Zhou Zhenyu at this moment, Wei Wanqing, who was initially filled with romantic feelings, suddenly trembled, and her restless mood gradually cooled down.

Even so, the strong woman was still somewhat unwilling to give up, and said loudly in a fit of pique, "So what if he knows? We're getting a divorce soon anyway!"
