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

After everyone had received their money, a young man from the same village smiled and said to Liu Weidong, "Brother Weidong, Jianjun told you, right? A few of us also want to get a few clivia plants. What do you think?"

When this was mentioned, the others also became serious, putting down their chopsticks and waiting for Liu Weidong's answer.

These people had just learned that clivia could fetch exorbitant prices, and since they had capital, they all wanted to seize this opportunity to make money, after all, who doesn't want to get rich?

“Jianjun did tell me about this,” Liu Weidong said seriously. “However, my opinion is that the price of clivia is already too high. Going in now will result in losing everything!”

Although everyone knew Liu Weidong had excellent judgment, they all showed hesitation at this moment. After all, the opportunity to make money was right in front of them, and they had all witnessed it with their own eyes. It was indeed unlikely that Liu Weidong could change their minds with just a few words.

Judging from everyone's reaction, Liu Weidong knew they didn't believe his judgment, and he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

If it were someone he didn't know, Liu Weidong wouldn't bother arguing. It's their money; they can throw it away however they want, and nobody can stop them, since he won't have to bear the consequences.

However, these young people were all from the same village as Liu Weidong, and some were even his childhood friends. He couldn't just stand by and watch them lose everything. Within his means, he should lend a helping hand.

Thinking of this, Liu Weidong decided to say a few more words, and said seriously to the group, "Making money isn't easy these days, and I don't want you all to waste your money. How about this, you don't need to buy the clivia. I still have a few left in my own plot of land, which I originally planned to give away, but now I'm giving a few away to you. I won't charge you any money, and you can decide when to sell them yourselves. You'll soon find out I wasn't lying!"

Liu Weidong has gone to such lengths; if anyone still ignores his advice and bets their entire fortune on the clivia, then it's none of his business. If they end up losing everything, no one can blame Liu Weidong.

Seeing Liu Weidong's generosity, the others expressed their gratitude to him, all feeling that Liu Weidong was a true friend and that it was their good fortune to have such a friend!

Hao Jianjun, who completely trusted Liu Weidong, immediately stated that he would not participate in the matter. Liu Weidong said that losing money was inevitable, and there was no need to create trouble for himself.

Liu Weidong and the others had no objections to this, and after a hearty meal, they returned to the village satisfied.

True to his word, Liu Weidong went straight to his private plot without even entering his home, carrying out five pots of clivia and distributing them to the group. The young men thanked him profusely and carefully carried the flowerpots back home.

Watching their retreating figures, Liu Weidong found it somewhat amusing. Judging from their demeanor, they definitely weren't going to sell those clivia plants anytime soon. He really wanted to know how these young people would react when these carefully tended clivia plants became almost worthless after the Spring Festival.

As soon as Liu Weidong pushed open the courtyard gate, Wang Shujuan and Huang Qian came to greet him. One was bright and beautiful, tall and voluptuous, while the other was pure and lovely, slender and graceful. Although they each had their own unique features, they were both very beautiful.

Even Liu Weidong, who had lived two lives, was somewhat bewildered by this scene. He smiled and said to them, "Sister, Xiaoqian, I'm back!"

Wang Shujuan and Huang Qian both knew that Liu Weidong had gone to sell clivia today, and they saw him give away the remaining clivia. They both felt that the sale of clivia today must have gone badly, which was why he did that.

Liu Weidong's smile appeared forced to the two of them. Wang Shujuan asked him with concern, "Weidong, are sales not good?"

Huang Qian quickly reassured Liu Weidong, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, I'll work on weekends and holidays, and I'm sure I can earn my tuition and living expenses!"

Liu Weidong chuckled, "What are you talking about? The price this time is even higher than I expected! Sis, keep this savings book here. I'll ask you for it whenever I need to spend money."

Wang Shujuan took the passbook, opened it, and her face immediately changed drastically. She exclaimed, "Weidong, you...you robbed a bank?"

Liu Weidong was amused by his sister's wild imagination, and said with a helpless wry smile, "Sis, what are you thinking? Even if I really robbed a bank, I would definitely hide the stolen money. Who in the Ming Dynasty would openly deposit money in a bank? This is the money from selling the clivia. Are you not worried now?"

Wang Shujuan breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her full chest, saying, "That's good, you really gave me a fright just now!"

Huang Qian looked at Wang Shujuan's ample bosom with some envy, and smiled at Liu Weidong, saying, "It's good that everything is going well, Uncle Liu. Shall I go get you a bottle of chilled orange juice?"

Liu Weidong, who had come all the way back, was thirsty. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome!" The girl smiled sweetly at Liu Weidong, her anxious mood easing considerably.

The news that Liu Weidong had sold all his clivia plants and even gave away several pots to young people in the village quickly spread throughout the village. While everyone was speculating about how much money Liu Weidong had made, they also praised his generosity.

However, this matter did not cause a sensation in the village for long, because soon another more eye-catching thing happened - Liu Weidong's new house was finally completed and ready to be moved into!

Moving into a new house in the countryside is undoubtedly a major event, even more important than getting married.

Not to mention, the Liu family is now the wealthiest family in the village, and their new house, built at a huge expense, has aroused everyone's curiosity. Everyone wants to know what's so great about this house that cost so much money!

Even Wang Shujuan and Huang Qian were very curious and wanted to see the new house. However, for safety reasons, Liu Weidong didn't let them inspect it carefully until it was fully completed.

Now that the new house is fully completed, and the furniture and curtains are all in place, Liu Weidong can finally bring the two beautiful women, one big and one small, to see everyone's new home.

In the rural areas of the early 1980s, a simple two-story villa was quite eye-catching. Not to mention the large cement yard and sturdy, neat wall, which also pleased the two young women greatly.

The interior of the house was even more impressive. Not only did it have terrazzo floors, but the windows were bright, and fluorescent lights provided illumination at night. The main room even had a newly purchased television set—an appliance considered a luxury even in the city—now in Liu Weidong's home.

The second floor has several bedrooms. Fortunately, the house built this time is big enough that even Huang Qian, who was unexpectedly moved to Liu Weidong's house, has her own room.

There were even two restrooms on the second floor. When the curious Wang Shujuan went in, she was immediately attracted by things she had never seen before.
