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

Now the whole thing was confirmed. Wang Deli immediately glared fiercely at Liu Yongfu and said, word by word, "What else do you have to say?"

"We're innocent! We're truly innocent!" Liu Yongfu immediately shouted, pointing at Liu Weidong and yelling, "He was clearly the one fanning the flames! I saw it all!"

But Wang Deli didn't believe Liu Yongfu at all. Covering the wound on his face, he shouted, "Enough nonsense! Take them to the police station! They'd be blind to dare lay a hand on me, Wang Deli!"

The villagers already disliked Liu Yongfu and his son, and now that even the village chief had spoken up, several young men immediately stepped forward. They tied the two men's hands behind their backs, bound them tightly, and took them to the town's police station.

Now Liu Guoxing was finally scared and shouted at Liu Yongfu, "Dad, save me, save me!"

But now Liu Yongfu is in trouble himself, and can only keep shaking his head and saying, "I told you not to be impulsive, now look what happened, you've made me suffer too!"

As one of the key witnesses, Liu Weidong naturally went to the police station as well.

On the way, seeing Wang Deli trying to wipe the blood off his face, he quickly whispered a reminder to him: "Village chief, you can't wipe that blood off!"

Wang Deli was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood what Liu Weidong meant. He nodded to him and said, "Thanks to you for reminding me, I should have gone to the police station with this blood on my face so that the police officers could see how badly I was injured!"

There's a crackdown going on right now, and every police station has a quota for solving cases. So when they heard that someone had injured the village chief at the village committee office in Hexi Village, the police officers at the station immediately perked up and quickly arrested Liu Yongfu and his son for rigorous interrogation.

As one of the parties involved, Liu Weidong also stayed to give a statement, further confirming the assault committed by Liu Yongfu and his son. Combined with the testimonies of other villagers, the illegal actions of these two are undeniable. In the current climate of widespread crackdown on crime, they will certainly pay a heavy price!

After giving his statement, Liu Weidong went home with the other villagers who had testified.

Wang Shujuan had been waiting at home for a long time. When she saw Liu Weidong, she immediately asked with concern, "Weidong, are you alright?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" Liu Weidong cheerfully opened his arms and winked at Wang Shujuan, saying, "Sis, I'm back safe and sound. Aren't we going to give each other a hug to celebrate?"

"You, you're back, that's good. I'm going to cook!" Wang Shujuan blushed instantly and fled to the kitchen after saying this.

Knowing that it was indeed a bit difficult for the gentle and introverted Wang Shujuan to take the initiative to hug him, Liu Weidong wasn't angry. He just smiled and muttered to himself, "The revolution is not yet successful, comrades still need to work hard!"

However, after Liu Weidong's persuasion, Wang Shujuan has gradually become more willing to spend money on food. While she doesn't eat lavish meals every day, she at least gets to eat meat regularly.

For example, tonight's dinner included stir-fried cabbage with sliced ​​pork, scrambled eggs, a vegetable dish, and a winter melon and mushroom soup.

In the early 1980s in rural areas, such dietary conditions were better than most people's; even the village chief's family didn't eat this well.

Wang Shujuan brought the food to the table and cheerfully reminded Liu Weidong, who was writing and drawing in his room, "Weidong, time to eat!"

"Coming!" Liu Weidong replied, quickly walking into the main room. After taking a deep breath, he smiled and said, "It smells so good! Sister, your cooking is getting better and better!"

Even though it was just a simple compliment, it made Wang Shujuan very happy. She smiled at Liu Weidong and said, "If you like it, eat more. I promise you'll have plenty!"

Lately, the family's meals have been better, and Wang Shujuan's complexion has improved considerably. Her rosy cheeks, radiant appearance, and happy smile truly brightened Liu Weidong's eyes.

Liu Weidong sat down at the table and said, "Sis, seeing you makes me feel like I can eat an extra bowl of rice!"

Wang Shujuan asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"

"Hehe!" Liu Weidong chuckled slightly, shoveling a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and said, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Beauty is food for the eyes'?"

Wang Shujuan's pretty face turned red at a visible speed, and she lowered her head and said in an almost inaudible voice, "You're talking nonsense again!"

Seeing that the girl had almost buried her face in the bowl, Liu Weidong stopped teasing her and said seriously to Wang Shujuan, "Today we've taught Liu Yongfu and his son a lesson, but I don't think they'll be satisfied and will definitely come looking for trouble again. If you're home alone, don't open the door, no matter how nasty their insults are, understand?"

Wang Shujuan wasn't so shy about talking about it anymore. She raised her head and quietly agreed, "Oh!"

"Your safety is the most important thing; everything else comes second," Liu Weidong told Wang Shujuan. "Tell me if you've been wronged, and I'll go settle the score with them and get revenge for you!"

Seeing how much Liu Weidong cared for her, Wang Shujuan felt a sweet warmth in her heart and smiled slightly at him, saying, "Yes, I'll listen to whatever you say!"

This girl had no idea how attractive she was to men when she said those words.

Even Liu Weidong, who had lived two lives, was taken aback for a moment, barely managing to suppress his romantic thoughts, and said, "Alright, let's eat quickly, it's getting cold!"

The two were eating and chatting when they heard a knock at the door. Liu Weidong frowned and said, "Who could it be at this hour?"

Although somewhat annoyed at being disturbed while eating, Liu Weidong put down his bowl to open the door, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Who are you?"

The guy outside shouted, "I'm Wang Deli!"

"Oh, it's the village chief! I didn't recognize you with your bandages on!" Liu Weidong greeted him casually, then stood at the door and asked, "Did you need something?"

Wang Deli lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, I didn't hold a grudge against your uncle. I made him give me some financial compensation and then let the father and son go back."

Liu Weidong was shocked that Wang Deli would do such a thing, and he couldn't help but curse him inwardly as a money-grubber.

Liu Weidong had hoped that this incident would give Liu Yongfu and his son some peace and quiet. But Wang Deli's actions had rendered all his previous efforts futile!

It was too late to say anything now, so Liu Weidong could only say helplessly, "Village chief, you are the victim, so it's up to you how to handle this. But if it were me, I definitely wouldn't let them off easily; they would have to go to jail!"

In fact, Wang Deli told Liu Weidong about this to test his opinion.

In Wang Deli's view, Liu Yongfu was, after all, Liu Weidong's uncle. He had let Liu Yongfu and his son off the hook, so Liu Weidong should at least offer some token of appreciation. Even a few dozen or fifty yuan would be fine; after all, every little bit helps!

But now Liu Weidong's attitude definitely means he won't pay, which really disappointed Wang Deli.

However, just as Wang Deli was about to go back, something else caught his attention.
