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

Speaking of Li Yinfeng, she was definitely Liu Weidong's curse from a past life. Liu Weidong didn't know what possessed him, but he was completely devoted to this woman, treating her with utmost sincerity.

In his previous life, after Liu Weidong started working at the machinery factory, he handed over all his wages to Li Yinfeng and was completely devoted to this woman. Although he was often ridiculed by his colleagues for this, he never complained.

Liu Weidong's sincerity, however, became a weakness that Li Yinfeng could exploit. This woman used Liu Weidong's money and didn't take him seriously at all. Not only did she boss him around all the time, but she would also scold and berate him at the slightest provocation, her attitude was extremely awful.

To maintain her position in Liu Weidong's heart, Li Yinfeng deliberately spoke ill of Wang Shujuan in front of him, trying her best to sow discord between the two. This woman played a significant role in why Liu Weidong was so cold towards Wang Shujuan in the first place.

What's even more outrageous is that not long after, Li Yinfeng met a minor official in the town. Without hesitation, she dumped Liu Weidong, who was just an ordinary worker at the time, and quickly married him.

Liu Weidong was in great pain at the time, and was depressed for a long time. He missed work for several months and spent his days either drinking or fighting. His good friend Hao Jianjun's leg was crippled during that time, and Liu Weidong himself almost got fired from the factory.

Liu Weidong certainly wouldn't be polite to a woman like that, so his tone was very aggressive from the moment they met.

Li Yinfeng was also taken aback, vaguely feeling that Liu Weidong seemed different from before.

However, Li Yinfeng had important business to discuss with Liu Weidong today, so he didn't think too much about it and simply smiled at him and said, "Let's go inside and talk!"

But Liu Weidong had no intention of letting the woman in at all, and immediately reached out to brace himself against the door frame, saying, "Let's talk here!"

Li Yinfeng never expected Liu Weidong to refuse her entry. Caught off guard, she bumped her chest hard into his arm and immediately glared at him with displeasure.

In the past, Liu Weidong would have already apologized to Li Yinfeng in a panic, but now he just impatiently urged, "Speak quickly, I have other things to do!"

Li Yinfeng could only ask, "I heard you sold your job spot at the machinery factory to Wang Jianguo?"

This woman had indeed come for this matter, Liu Weidong thought to himself with a cold laugh, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"That's a secure job, you're too foolish to give it up so easily!" Li Yinfeng feigned concern for Liu Weidong, then quickly asked with interest, "Did you really sell it for five hundred yuan?"

Liu Weidong simply replied, "Yes!"

The legend was actually true! Li Yinfeng perked up immediately and said, "Weidong, let me tell you, Yinchang wants a bicycle to go to and from school, and my mom has always wanted a Butterfly brand sewing machine. Why don't we take this opportunity to buy them together?"

The fact that this woman revealed her true colors so quickly amused Liu Weidong. In his past life, as a highly eligible bachelor, he had seen countless cunning and manipulative women; compared to them, Li Yinfeng's skills were barely even beginner level. For her to even try and make a move on Liu Weidong was simply futile!

Thinking of this, Liu Weidong said with a half-smile, "But I don't have industrial ration coupons, so even if I had money, I couldn't buy them!"

In the early 1980s, money alone wasn't enough to buy things; various ration coupons were also required. Hot commodities like bicycles and sewing machines were simply unavailable without industrial ration coupons.

Li Yinfeng laughed and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? My classmate happens to have two industrial tickets, and he's willing to sell them to me cheaply, only sixty yuan each!"

Hearing Li Yinfeng's words, Liu Weidong couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

These days, a bicycle and a sewing machine cost over a hundred yuan each, plus two industrial tickets, bringing the total to almost five hundred yuan. Li Yinfeng had calculated it quite well; she wanted to spend all the money she earned from selling her spot—she was really greedy!

Seeing that Liu Weidong did not agree immediately, Li Yinfeng quickly pretended to be shy and said, "My mother said that the bicycle and sewing machine are for my family to use first, and they will be part of my dowry when I get married. Actually, they are still ours. Isn't that great?"

“That’s really good, but I have an even better idea!” Liu Weidong grabbed Li Yinfeng’s hand and said to her affectionately, “Why don’t we register tomorrow? With this five hundred yuan, and if your mother gives us another one or two hundred, we can buy a three-wheeled watch and a radio, and you can have a grand wedding!”

The "three turns" referred to a watch, a bicycle, and a sewing machine, while the "one sound" was a radio. In the early 1980s, this was the ultimate wedding package for young people. Especially for young people in rural areas, having the "three turns and one sound" at their wedding was a source of great pride and would make them the envy of the entire village.

Liu Weidong became more and more excited as he spoke, his large hand resting on Li Yinfeng's waist, moving restlessly up and down until it almost slid down to her buttocks.

This woman had taken advantage of Liu Weidong quite a bit in the past, and now that she's come to him for herself, he's naturally going to collect some interest.

Li Yinfeng was startled and quickly took a few steps back, saying, "This...so fast? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"I think it's a great idea, let's make it a happy decision!" Liu Weidong said with a smile, "Go back and tell your mother to bring the money as soon as possible, so we can get things done!"

Li Yinfeng only wanted the 500 yuan Liu Weidong earned from selling his secure job; she never intended to marry him, much less pay him. Now that Liu Weidong wanted her family to pay for the wedding, she was even less likely to agree.

"I...I'll go back and talk to my mom!" Faced with Liu Weidong's relentless pressure, Li Yinfeng threw down a perfunctory remark and ran off in a panic.

"Heh..." Liu Weidong chuckled coldly, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He didn't know what had possessed him back then, how could he have fallen for a woman like this? Fortunately, he had a second chance, and he was certain he would never be fooled by Li Yinfeng again in this life!

After Li Yinfeng walked away, Liu Weidong closed the courtyard gate and went back inside.

Wang Shujuan had already put the money away and whispered to Liu Weidong, "Did Li Yinfeng want to see you about something?"

Liu Weidong sneered, "Heh, what good could she possibly want? She's eyeing this money of mine. She wants me to buy her brother a bicycle and her mother a sewing machine!"

Wang Shujuan asked nervously, "You...you agreed to her?"

"She's dreaming big!" Liu Weidong said. "Our family has finally managed to accumulate some money, so of course we should keep it for ourselves. No outsiders should even think about taking a bite out of this money!"

Wang Shujuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you have a plan. Before, whenever Li Yinfeng asked for the moon, you would find a way to get it for her. I really..."

At this point, Wang Shujuan suddenly came to her senses, quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and looked at Liu Weidong with a face full of fear, appearing extremely frightened.
