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

"Oh!" Wang Shujuan exclaimed subconsciously and quickly ran away from the table.

Recalling what almost happened, her cheeks were burning hot, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She couldn't believe that she had almost done what Liu Weidong did!

Liu Weidong was very unhappy. He was about to successfully take their relationship to the next level, but it was ruined at the last moment. It was infuriating!

After glancing at Wang Shujuan, who had already hidden in the corner, Liu Weidong knew that she couldn't do anything right now and would have to open the door himself.

"Who is it? It's so late and you're still knocking on the door. Isn't that annoying?" Liu Weidong complained as he ran to the yard to open the door.

Standing outside the door was an enraged Li Yinfeng, who shouted at Liu Weidong, "Liu Weidong, what have you done to Yinchang?"

Liu Weidong had expected this woman to come. He sneered, "You shouldn't be asking me about this. Go to the police station and ask the officers!"

Li Yinfeng immediately screamed, "Liu Weidong, are you even human? You actually sent someone from your own village to the police station! You're a traitor!"

Liu Weidong remained expressionless and said, "Li Yinfeng, you'd better get this straight. It was your brother who colluded with outsiders to cause trouble in the village. He's the one who betrayed his own people!"

Although Liu Weidong was telling the truth, Li Yinfeng still made a scene, saying, "I don't care, whoever harmed my brother is a traitor. Go to the police station right now and bring him back!"

Faced with the aggressive Li Yinfeng, Liu Weidong's response was only one word: "Get out!"

Seeing that force wasn't working, Li Yinfeng immediately resorted to a softer approach. She pretended to tidy her hair and put on a pitiful look, saying to Liu Weidong, "Weidong, for the sake of our friendship, please let Yinchang go this time, okay?"

As the woman spoke, she moved closer to Liu Weidong, clearly intending to ram him. Coupled with her ingratiating smile and gentle tone, she was a completely different person from the shrew she had been moments before.

Li Yinfeng was confident that she could completely bewitch Liu Weidong, making him do whatever she was told.

However, the woman's affected manner was utterly repulsive to the reborn Liu Weidong, who immediately took two steps back and said, "Get to the point, don't get so close, I refuse!"

Li Yinfeng didn't understand the meaning of the last two words at all, and looked at Liu Weidong with a blank expression.

"It means you're too ugly, I'm not interested in you, this trick won't work on me!" Liu Weidong said coldly. "I can overlook other things, but Li Yinchang actually colluded with outsiders to bully my sister, that's absolutely intolerable! I'm making this clear today, from now on anyone who dares to have any ill intentions towards my sister, don't blame me, Liu Weidong, for being ruthless, I'll definitely send them to jail!"

In fact, Liu Weidong was saying this to others as well. Given Li Yinchang's example, no one thought he was just talking.

Not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but Liu Weidong also found her too ugly, which immediately broke Li Yinfeng's defenses.

The woman immediately dropped her fake smile, glaring at Liu Weidong with a face full of resentment, and said, "Liu Weidong, you just wait and see, this isn't over!"

"Heh, come on if you dare!" Liu Weidong retorted without backing down an inch, "Li Yinchang is definitely going to the juvenile detention center. Then you can go to jail. Both siblings will be criminals, which will bring honor to your Li family!"

"You, you..." Li Yinfeng stammered for a long time without knowing what to say, and finally could only run away angrily.

"Hmph!" Liu Weidong snorted coldly as he watched Li Yinfeng run away, then turned and went back.

Wang Shujuan, who was inside the house, heard the entire conversation between the two and was deeply moved.

Before, Liu Weidong would obediently do whatever Li Yinfeng said. Wang Shujuan even got beaten up for trying to persuade him several times! But now, Liu Weidong actually sent Li Yinfeng's brother to the police station to get revenge for her, and even her personal pleas for leniency were useless!

This made Wang Shujuan realize how much Liu Weidong cared about her, and she was so happy that her eyes welled up with tears.

Just then, Liu Weidong entered the room and, seeing Wang Shujuan's appearance, quickly asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing, I'm just a little happy." Wang Shujuan choked up, "Weidong, why are you so good to me?"

Liu Weidong chuckled and said, "Sister, look at what you're saying! You're my only family, so of course I'll treat you well! From now on, I'll not only make sure you live better than people in the city, but if anyone dares to bully you, you must tell me, and I'll stand up for you!"

"Yes, yes!" Wang Shujuan nodded vigorously, unable to hold back her tears of joy.

However, this was not enough to express Wang Shujuan's emotions. She suddenly took two steps forward and gently hugged Liu Weidong.

Wang Shujuan's unexpected hug surprised and delighted Liu Weidong. It seemed his efforts hadn't been in vain; their relationship had indeed improved significantly, and he was gradually winning her heart.

Of course, Wang Shujuan was still an introverted and shy girl. After mustering up her courage to hug Liu Weidong, she was too embarrassed to do so and quickly let go of him and ran back to her room.

Only Liu Weidong, with a silly grin on his face, was left to tidy up the pile of loose change on the table.

While Liu Weidong was counting his money, village chief Wang Deli was also doing his own accounting at home.

"I'm afraid this month's income will only be sixty-odd yuan, which is too little!" Wang Deli said to his son with a frown as he worked on the abacus. "Last year, we spent a full five hundred yuan to buy you a spot in the machinery factory. It was a huge financial strain. I don't know if we can make that money back this year!"

Wang Deli, relying on his position as village chief, frequently took advantage of the collective, and his appetite grew ever larger. He earned over sixty yuan a month, a salary comparable to that of an ordinary cadre in a state-owned factory, yet he was still dissatisfied.

Wang Jianguo then said to his father, "Dad, have you heard? Today, some thugs went to Liu Weidong's house to cause trouble. As a result, that guy paid a lot of people in our village to send those thugs to the police station. I heard it cost more than two hundred yuan!"

Wang Deli exclaimed in surprise, "Is that so?"

Wang Jianguo asked in surprise, "I heard a lot of people talking about this when I got off work. You didn't know about it in the village?"

A hint of unease flashed across Wang Deli's face, but he quickly frowned and said, "Why all this nonsense? Is this true or false?"

Wang Jianguo didn't dare to argue with his father, and quickly told him, "It's definitely true. The kids across the street and next door went. I asked them, and they did get the money!"

"Wow... he just threw away two hundred yuan like that? This kid's pretty generous!" Wang Deli exclaimed in surprise at first, but then frowned and said, "Something's not right!"
