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

Seeing Huang Qian's expression, Liu Weidong couldn't help but ask her, "Qian, what's wrong? You look so worried."

"Actually, my math grades are okay, but my English is worse!" the girl told Liu Weidong. "But my English teacher doesn't give us any extra lessons, so I can only worry about it."

These days, no parents really tutor their kids anymore, no wonder Huang Qian said that. Seeing how diligent and eager the girl was to learn, Liu Weidong felt he could still lend her a hand.

"So that's what's bothering you? It's nothing serious!" Liu Weidong said confidently, "It's just finding an English tutor, I have a way!"

Huang Qian asked in surprise, "Really?"

"It has to be true, when have I ever lied to you?" Liu Weidong said cheerfully, "Eat some shaved ice first, and then I'll take you to see the teacher!"

Liu Weidong was so confident because he knew where to find an English tutor. Pierre's restaurant had many waiters who were fluent in English; having them tutor Huang Qian, a high school student, would be more than enough, but it would certainly be of some help.

Huang Qian trusted Liu Weidong a lot, and upon hearing this, she nodded happily and said, "Yes, thank you, Uncle Liu!"

Seeing the girl's bright smile, Liu Weidong felt much better. However, at that moment, several shady-looking young men walked over and surrounded the two of them.

The group stared at Huang Qian with ill intent.

Seeing their appearance, Liu Weidong sighed inwardly, knowing that trouble was on their way again. These days, if you were to ask where the most petty thugs are in the city, besides the roller skating rink, it would probably be the shaved ice shop.

Especially if you're well-dressed or have a pretty girl with you, you're more likely to get into trouble in these kinds of places. The former might lead to someone robbing you, the latter to someone harassing the girl. Those who dare to do this are naturally the ones with the most power and numbers; any resistance will result in a beating.

Liu Weidong hadn't been to the shaved ice shop in so long that he'd forgotten about it. Little did he know that the consequences of forgetting the treacherous nature of the world would come so quickly; he was cornered before he'd even finished his shaved ice.

Huang Qian was also terrified. She couldn't care less about drinking her shaved ice anymore. She clenched her little hands tightly and looked pitifully at Liu Weidong across from her.

The leader of the thugs was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a fierce look on his face and deliberately raised his voice, saying loudly, "Oh, so you've come here to date? You're quite affectionate, aren't you?"

The tone was clearly meant to cause trouble, and Liu Weidong secretly prepared himself to fight. He tensed his waist and legs to be ready to get up at any moment, while subtly gripping the handle of the shaved ice cup, ready to teach the other person a lesson at any time.

The thugs were completely oblivious to Liu Weidong's intentions; their attention was entirely on Huang Qian. They'd been hanging around this area for over a year and had never seen such a beautiful girl before!

The leader of the thugs turned and glared at Liu Weidong, then grinned at Huang Qian and said, "Hey little girl, we're all big shots here, give us a break and let's get to know each other, we'll take you ice skating!"

Huang Qian was a well-behaved girl, and she was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, I won't go!"

Rejected by the pretty girl, the thugs' faces changed. The leader said menacingly, "Little girl, don't push your luck! We're only asking you a favor. If you keep being so ungrateful, we'll just take action!"

"Be smart, or you'll regret it!"

"You bitch, do you believe we'll kill your man?"

The other two thugs also threatened Huang Qian, making it clear that they wouldn't give up until she agreed.

The girl had never experienced anything like this before and was almost in tears. But even so, she hadn't forgotten Liu Weidong and mustered her courage to say to the thugs, "You...you mustn't hurt Uncle Liu."

"Ha, so this kid's your uncle? That makes it even more natural!" the leader of the thugs said smugly. "Come with us obediently, maybe we'll even become relatives in the future, haha!"

Even Huang Qian understood what this guy meant, and she was so angry that her breathing became rapid, making her already budding chest appear even fuller.

The thugs all looked at the girl's chest at the same time, and the leader went the far way, actually reaching out to touch her.

In truth, Liu Weidong had been avoiding a direct confrontation, but now he had no choice but to take action. He sighed inwardly, suddenly stood up, and simultaneously threw the shaved ice from his cup at one of the thugs next to him.

Caught off guard, the guy was splashed in the face and instinctively backed away. Liu Weidong seized the opportunity, swinging his arm and smashing the shaved ice cup over the head of the leader of the thugs. With a crisp "clang," the shaved ice cup shattered on the guy's forehead.

These days, there aren't many plastic cups. Shaved ice shops use large, thick glass cups, each weighing at least half a pound. The impact of such a cup being smashed against your forehead is truly astonishing.

The leader of the thugs suddenly felt dizzy and saw stars. He involuntarily took two steps back and collapsed onto the other two customers.

Liu Weidong showed no sign of stopping, raising his knee and striking the third thug between the legs. The guy immediately screamed, clutching his groin as he collapsed to the ground, curled up like a boiled shrimp.

"I'll kill you!" At this moment, the thug who had been splashed with shaved ice finally came to his senses and roared as he lunged at Liu Weidong.

However, Liu Weidong calmly raised his foot and kicked the guy directly in the face. The thug immediately started bleeding from his nose, clutching his face and howling in pain.

Liu Weidong took down three thugs in the blink of an eye, much to Huang Qian's surprise. The girl stared at him in disbelief, unable to believe that the kind Uncle Liu who had always treated her so well could beat someone so brutally.

"Don't just stand there, let's go!" Liu Weidong grabbed the girl's hand and ran outside with her.

However, this brief delay allowed the leader of the thugs to struggle to his feet and block their path.

The guy's forehead was bleeding from Liu Weidong's blow, blood streaming down his cheek. Combined with his ferocious expression, he looked even more terrifying.

"Damn it, you think you can run away?" The thug glared at the two men fiercely, cursing them filthyly. "Today I'm going to skin you alive!"

Another thug stood up unsteadily and shouted to his accomplice, "Brother Feng, why skin such a pretty girl? Let's take off her clothes!"

"Alright, then let's strip her clothes off and let everyone see!" Brother Feng grinned maliciously as he approached the two men step by step.

Huang Qian turned pale with fright, fearing that such a thing might really happen and she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Liu Weidong, on the other hand, had a grim expression and was prepared to fight the other side head-on.

Just then, several people came in from outside, and the leader quickly shouted, "Li Feng, how dare you disrespect Brother Liu? You must have a death wish!"
