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

Seeing that Wei Wanqing had calmed down a lot, Liu Weidong breathed a sigh of relief and said to her seriously, "But you're not divorced yet, are you?"

"I will definitely get a divorce, just you wait and see!" the strong woman emphasized again, seemingly to prove her determination to Liu Weidong.

However, not getting involved with married women has been Liu Weidong's principle for two lifetimes. Although Wei Wanqing is a very attractive woman in every way, he cannot let her cross his bottom line.

So, faced with the confident and assertive businesswoman, Liu Weidong simply smiled and said, "We'll see when the time comes."

Wei Wanqing was a smart woman, and she immediately understood Liu Weidong's implication. Her anger at being rejected vanished instantly. Overjoyed, the strong woman could no longer contain herself and leaned down to give Liu Weidong a big kiss on the lips.

Liu Weidong was taken aback by Wei Wanqing's proactive side. He was terrified that things might get out of hand and things would escalate, which would be a huge embarrassment for him.

So Liu Weidong quickly said loudly, "Hey, senior sister, please get down! Your legs are numb from sitting so long, I can't take it!"

However, the strong woman was not as obedient to Liu Weidong as Wang Shujuan. Not only did she not intend to leave, but she also deliberately pressed down on him, staring straight at him with her watery phoenix eyes and said, "Can't handle it so quickly? You're not so good at this young man!"

The aloof, mature woman was particularly alluring when she drove, and Liu Weidong immediately became even more eager. Seeing that Wei Wanqing had no intention of getting down, Liu Weidong gritted his teeth and gave her shapely buttocks a hard slap.

"Ouch!" The strong woman finally couldn't sit still anymore. She exclaimed and stood up immediately, glaring at Liu Weidong hatefully, as if blaming him for being too ruthless.

While finally breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Weidong was also a little disappointed. Why did Wei Wanqing stand up so quickly? Couldn't she have held on a little longer? That last blow felt really good. If she had stayed seated, wouldn't he have been able to hit her a few more times?

Now that he was free, Liu Weidong didn't dare linger, fearing Wei Wanqing might change her mind. This woman was top-notch in every way, and Liu Weidong wasn't entirely confident he could remain calm under her advances; it was best to leave as soon as possible!

The strong woman knew exactly what Liu Weidong was planning. Watching him ride away on his bicycle, a slight smile appeared on her cold and beautiful face as she muttered to herself, "I'm definitely going to get a divorce. Then we'll see where you can run to, hmph!"

"Achoo!" Liu Weidong sneezed several times, almost falling off his bicycle. He rubbed his nose, muttering to himself in confusion, "Strange, why am I suddenly sneezing? Could I have caught a cold? It shouldn't be like this in this hot weather!"

That night, Liu Weidong had another unspeakable dream. In the dream, he was with Wang Shujuan, who was dressed scantily, but suddenly a strong woman dressed even less appeared, smiling at him and saying, "I'm divorced. Are you satisfied now?"

Then Liu Weidong woke up, regretting that he couldn't continue his dream. Seeing that it was almost dawn, he simply got up, ate a few bites of breakfast, and then took Wangcai up the mountain to look for truffles.

It's already late May, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, which is the peak growing season for these fungi. So Liu Weidong needs to make the most of his time by going up the mountain more often to try and find more truffles.

Taking advantage of the cool morning air, Liu Weidong led Wangcai to the mountainside in one go. With each trip up the mountain, Wangcai had developed a tacit understanding with its owner, and without Liu Weidong even having to ask, it would proactively start looking for truffles nearby.

All Liu Weidong had to do was wait patiently to see where Wangcai would squat down, and then dig around there.

This hunting dog is not only very intelligent and protective of its owner and Wang Shujuan, but it's also an expert at finding truffles. Whenever Liu Weidong digs in the spot Wangcai points out, he never misses a truffle.

In just over two hours, with Wangcai's help, Liu Weidong had dug up more than two kilograms of truffles. These truffles would sell for nearly two thousand yuan to Pierre, equivalent to several years' wages for an average worker!

Looking at the truffles in his basket, Liu Weidong couldn't help but sigh, realizing that buying Wangcai for fifty yuan back then was absolutely worth it. Wangcai has now earned him at least ten thousand yuan; the return on investment is simply astonishing!

While searching for truffles, Liu Weidong also found some matsutake mushrooms, but he didn't pick any of them.

After all, Liu Weidong was also buying dried matsutake mushrooms from the villagers, so he didn't want to compete with them for profit. It wasn't worth ruining his reputation in the village just to save such a small amount of money!

Finding truffles wasn't a big deal, since the villagers didn't have a dog like Wangcai, making it difficult to find them anyway. So even if Liu Weidong came down the mountain with a basket full of truffles, no one would think much of it.

By 10 o'clock, it was already quite hot on the mountain. Although Liu Weidong could still keep going, Wangcai had become tongue-tied and wasn't as eager to find truffles as before.

So Liu Weidong took Wangcai home, first gave his beloved dog a basin of water to drink, and then sat in front of the fan to cool off. After a while, he was still sweating.

"If only we had air conditioning!" Liu Weidong couldn't help but mutter to himself, but he knew that was unlikely.

It was still the early 1980s, and having an electric fan in the countryside was a luxury, let alone air conditioning. Liu Weidong hadn't even seen this high-end contraption at the Friendship Store. It would be at least several more years before they could enjoy air conditioning in the summer.

Just as Liu Weidong was thinking this, Hao Jianjun came to find him carrying a full basket of dried matsutake mushrooms. He ran to the electric fan as soon as he entered the house, exclaiming with delight, "Ha, this electric fan is really a good thing, it's so refreshing!"

Liu Weidong chuckled and said, "Look at you, so full of yourself. It's not like you can't afford one now. If you really want one, come with me to the Friendship Store next time and buy one!"

Liu Weidong wasn't lying; Hao Jianjun now earns over two hundred yuan a month, so buying an electric fan is a piece of cake.

"Forget it, my dad would skin me alive for spending over two hundred yuan on this stuff!" Hao Jianjun shook his head and proudly told Liu Weidong, "We've been getting more and more dried matsutake mushrooms lately, so I brought them all for you. It's a total of thirty-seven jin (18.5 catties), and it cost 1,850 yuan. You can weigh it for me!"

Liu Weidong waved his hand and said, "No need, can't I trust you? Just put it over there in the corner, I'll take it to sell tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, Liu Weidong went to Gonggeng Village and took all the dried matsutake mushrooms that Ma Yongxian had bought, more than 100 jin of dried matsutake mushrooms and more than 10 jin of truffles, and delivered them all to Pierre to prepare for sale.
