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

Liu Weidong asked, puzzled, "Senior sister, what's wrong again?"

“Zhou Zhenyu isn’t the type to commit suicide. We’ve been married for years, and I know he’s a coward who’s afraid of death and wouldn’t suffer any loss. Even if he knew he’d be executed, he would still try to fight back. He would never jump off a building so easily!” Wei Wanqing said, staring intently at Liu Weidong and saying, word by word, “You’re definitely hiding something from me!”

Wei Wanqing's ability to guess the truth of the matter made Liu Weidong secretly sigh, "No wonder she is a powerful businesswoman, her mind is so clear!"

Even though the two had a very good relationship, Liu Weidong wouldn't admit it. He shook his head calmly and said, "Senior sister, I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, the police have concluded that Zhou Zhenyu committed suicide out of guilt. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it!"

Wei Wanqing gave Liu Weidong a deep look, then nodded slightly and said, "You're right, he committed suicide!"

Seeing that the strong woman understood his meaning, Liu Weidong relaxed and smiled, "Senior sister, so I have two pieces of news for you this time, one good news and one bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"

This trope, which had become overused in later generations, was still quite novel in the early 1980s. Even Wei Wanqing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Let's hear the bad news first!"

"The bad news is that, strictly speaking, you're a widow now!" Liu Weidong replied with a half-smile, then continued to tell Wei Wanqing, "The good news is that you're free now and don't have to worry about divorce anymore!"

These two answers left Wei Wanqing somewhat amused and exasperated. She glared at Liu Weidong and said irritably, "You're just talking nonsense!"

Liu Weidong said seriously, "Senior sister, this is not nonsense. In short, you are free now and don't have to worry about that beast anymore!"

These words struck a chord with the strong woman. After a moment of silence, she nodded gently and said, "You're right, Weidong, thank you!"

Wei Wanqing hadn't thanked Liu Weidong so sincerely in a long time. He was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then waved his hand dismissively and said, "Senior Sister, we're all on the same side now, is there any need to be so polite?"

“This time it will come in handy!” The strong woman said seriously, looking at Liu Weidong and saying each word clearly, “No one but you would do this for me!”

Seeing Wei Wanqing's serious expression, Liu Weidong knew that she must have guessed something, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything.

Thinking of this, Liu Weidong remained silent for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "This matter is over, let's not mention it again, okay?"

Liu Weidong's words were tantamount to tacit agreement, and the strong woman was very happy. She smiled at him and said, "Okay, I won't mention it again, but... I must thank you properly!"

Liu Weidong asked casually with a smile, "So, how do you plan to thank me?"

"How can a woman like me thank you in any way?" Wei Wanqing, contrary to her usual self, spoke in a coquettish tone, giving Liu Weidong a flirtatious wink. "Besides repaying you with my body, I'm afraid there's no other way!"

Liu Weidong was shocked and said, "Ha, I treat you like a senior sister, but you want to sleep with me? That's too much!"

"What do you mean 'want to sleep with you'? That's a really awful way to put it!" Although Wei Wanqing was a powerful businesswoman, she was still just a young woman in her late twenties. Hearing this, she glared at Liu Weidong and said angrily, "You said before that I wasn't divorced yet, but now that I'm... single, you're still making excuses. Are you even a man?"

Actually, Liu Weidong was just joking. Seeing that Wei Wanqing was really anxious, he quickly smiled and said to her, "Senior sister, it was just a joke. Why are you getting so worked up?"

"You're not allowed to joke about this!" Wei Wanqing said, still furious. "In short, you're not going to find any excuses to get out of this time, hmph!"

"Okay, okay, I won't make excuses anymore, really, is this alright now?" Liu Weidong smiled and reassured the strong woman, "But these things are best left to nature. We can't force ourselves to do things just to complete a task, otherwise there's no fun in it at all, don't you think?"

Wei Wanqing thought for a moment, then glared at Liu Weidong and said, "You have so many tricks up your sleeve, it's obvious you're experienced, humph!"

Seeing that the strong woman had started making personal attacks, Liu Weidong quickly became serious and said, "Senior sister, I'm serious. Zhou Zhenyu just died today, and you'll soon receive a notification from the police. We still need to be a little careful these next few days, so we don't give anyone with ulterior motives any leverage over us, right?"

That makes some sense. After thinking for a moment, Wei Wanqing nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this once. I'll go take care of that bastard's funeral arrangements these next few days. He got off too easy, humph!"

Liu Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said with a smile, "I just came to tell you this good news. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Make sure you don't laugh when you get to the police station, otherwise it'll be hard to explain to the officers."

"I know, do you need to tell me that?" Wei Wanqing glanced at Liu Weidong impatiently, but quickly took two steps forward and hugged him tightly.

Liu Weidong, who was holding the soft, fragrant woman in his arms, stiffened for a moment, then gently embraced the strong woman and said softly, "It's alright, senior sister, it's all over now. From now on, you will definitely have a smooth and successful career, and become a famous strong woman in the province... no, the whole country!"

"Yes, I'm sure I can succeed!" Wei Wanqing agreed with Liu Weidong, then looked up at him and said, "And then I want to have a child, will you help me?"

They were having a perfectly normal conversation about their careers when they suddenly veered into talking about having children. Liu Weidong coughed awkwardly and said, "Ahem... how did we suddenly start talking about children?"

"If I don't have children, who will I leave all this wealth to?" the strong woman said confidently. "Besides, I don't plan to get married in the future. I'll just find a suitable man to have children with. Right now, you're the one I like the most. If I don't have children with you, who will I have them with?"

Since learning of Zhou Zhenyu's death, Wei Wanqing has become much bolder, daring to say anything, which immediately frightened Liu Weidong into fleeing in panic.

Seeing Liu Weidong's disheveled appearance, the strong woman couldn't help but laugh out loud, muttering to herself, "Hmph, now that I'm free, I won't let you escape again. Just you wait and see!"

By the time Liu Weidong returned home, it was already getting dark. Wang Shujuan, who had been patiently waiting at home, rushed to greet him.

The two of them just broke through the final barrier yesterday, and their feelings for each other are at their peak right now, so it's no wonder the girl is acting this way.

Liu Weidong was also very happy to see his sister. He came up and hugged her tightly, giving her a big kiss, and said, "Sis, I have something good to show you!"
