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

Upon hearing this, Liu Weidong almost burst out laughing. It turned out that Lin Bin thought he was a gigolo who lived off rich women. This was just too absurd.

However, Liu Weidong didn't care what Lin Bin thought of him. As long as he could help Wei Wanqing get rid of this annoying guy, he was happy. So he simply went along with it and said, "We don't need anyone else to meddle. It's a matter of course. One is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit. Is it any of your business?"

This was in the early 1980s; accusing a man of being a kept man was practically the same as pointing a finger at him and cursing him. Wei Wanqing was astonished that Liu Weidong would actually admit to being a kept man for her sake.

Moved, the strong woman quietly reached under the table and gently pinched Liu Weidong's waist. The pinch was light and gentle, full of her gratitude and affection.

Liu Weidong understood Wei Wanqing's meaning and reached under the table to reciprocate. However, he accidentally touched Wei Wanqing's leg.

The delicate yet elastic touch startled Liu Weidong, who quickly tried to pull his hand back. Unexpectedly, the strong woman was even bolder, pressing down on the back of Liu Weidong's hand, leaving him in a dilemma.

"Cough cough..." Liu Weidong coughed awkwardly and winked at Wei Wanqing, telling her not to cause trouble at this time.

The powerful woman gave Liu Weidong a defiant look before slowly releasing her grip.

Liu Weidong withdrew his hand, feeling a little disappointed. That strong woman's legs were so smooth; he wondered when he'd have another chance to touch them!

Just as Liu Weidong was feeling conflicted, Wei Wanqing handed him a bankbook: "This is what we agreed on last time. It's too inconvenient to carry so much cash, so I'm depositing it directly for you. It's in your name too."

"Thank you, senior sister." Liu Weidong smiled as he took the passbook, opened it, and found that the number on it was exactly two hundred thousand.

Liu Weidong knew, of course, that the powerful woman had converted the US dollars she had given him last time into RMB. She had given Wei Wanqing 25,000 US dollars, which, at an exchange rate of 1:8, amounted to exactly 200,000 RMB.

Thinking of this, Liu Weidong deliberately waved the passbook in front of Lin Bin, just enough for him to see the numbers clearly.

Lin Bin had no idea that this money was Wei Wanqing repaying Liu Weidong, and he was immediately stunned. This guy had only said that to provoke Liu Weidong, but he hadn't expected him to be right – Wei Wanqing really was keeping a gigolo!

Thinking of this, Lin Bin couldn't help but glare fiercely at Liu Weidong, feeling extremely jealous of him.

It's already amazing to be favored by this beautiful woman, let alone receive so much money! Why can't I have such good fortune? It's so enviable!

Jealousy can cloud judgment, and Lin Bin was no exception. He disliked Liu Weidong even more and deliberately shouted, "How can a man like you spend a woman's money? Liu Weidong, where are your morals and dignity?"

Liu Weidong was amused by the guy's words, glanced at him and said, "Stop pretending to be noble here. To put it bluntly, you're just jealous of my senior sister's beauty and wealth, and you're just jealous of our good relationship, okay?"

Liu Weidong's voice was quite loud, immediately attracting the curious gazes of many nearby customers, who began to scrutinize the three of them.

Lin Bin panicked when Liu Weidong exposed his thoughts in public. His composure wasn't as strong as Liu Weidong's or Wei Wanqing's, and he quickly and loudly denied it: "Don't...don't talk nonsense, I'm not that kind of person!"

"Not that kind of person?" Liu Weidong sneered, "Then why are you staying here? My senior sister has already told you she's married, yet you keep trying to get close to her. What are you really up to?!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Weidong was able to turn the tables and accuse Lin Bin, leaving him speechless.

Liu Weidong seized the opportunity and pressed the guy relentlessly: "Heh, feeling guilty now, huh? Speechless now? Still lingering like this, shameless!"

Everyone agreed with Liu Weidong's point, and their gazes towards Lin Bin became even more disdainful. The young woman at the next table quickly changed seats, trying to stay as far away from this guy as possible; she really thought of him as a shameless pervert.

Although Lin Bin was quite thick-skinned, he couldn't withstand the pressure at this moment. After glaring fiercely at Liu Weidong, he ran out in a sorry state, too ashamed to eat there anymore.

Having finally gotten rid of this third wheel, Liu Weidong was in high spirits and said to Wei Wanqing with a smile, "Hehe... Trying to mess with me? You're in for it now."

Seeing Liu Weidong's composed expression, the strong woman couldn't help but ask him, "Just now, Lin Bin mocked you for being a kept man, and you...aren't you angry at all?"

Liu Weidong asked in surprise, "Being able to earn this salary means I have an advantage. I take that as a compliment, so why should I be angry?"

At this point, Liu Weidong glanced at Wei Wanqing, who seemed hesitant to speak, and continued with a smile, "Besides, if it were you, Senior Sister, who wanted to take care of me, I'd be overjoyed, not angry at all!"

"All you do is talk the talk!" The strong woman glared at Liu Weidong, still somewhat uneasy, and asked, "Aren't you afraid people will say you're morally corrupt?"

Liu Weidong laughed and said, "I'm least afraid of moral blackmail. As long as I have no morals, no one can blackmail me!"

"Tch, you're just talking!" Wei Wanqing reverted to her usual demeanor, glaring at Liu Weidong and saying, "I'd be willing to support you, but do you have the guts?"

Now it was Liu Weidong's turn to be embarrassed. He coughed a few times and said, "Ahem... Senior Sister, that's not very nice of you! You shouldn't hit someone in the face. Can't you give me some face?"

"Hehe, I love seeing you get flustered, it's so funny!" Wei Wanqing couldn't help but laugh, revealing her mature and sophisticated aura.

For the two of them, Lin Bin's appearance was just a minor incident and didn't affect their mood. After lunch, they strolled around a nearby park for a while before heading back to the county town together.

However, on the bus, the strong woman encountered an unexpected problem. Her outfit was so alluring that two men kept crowding around her.

Just as Wei Wanqing was getting impatient, Liu Weidong arrived just in time behind her, pulling the strong woman into his arms. A long-lost sense of security instantly enveloped Wei Wanqing, finally putting her mind at ease.

Wei Wanqing was much bolder than Wang Shujuan. She immediately turned to Liu Weidong and smiled slightly, then leaned against him. Even so, the strong woman felt it wasn't enough, and even took advantage of the bus's bumpy ride to deliberately sway her hips and gently rub against him.

On the crowded bus, a little secret between the two slowly brews, and a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere spreads throughout the carriage.
