Reborn in the Great Northern Wilderness in 1982, I farmed and hunted to support my whole family.

Li Siming still felt the money was burning his hands.

Before he could even speak, a furious roar came from outside the courtyard, "Li Mu, you get the hell out here!"

Li Jianjun glared and strode aggressively into the courtyard, carrying an ice pick in his hand, looking like he was about to kill someone.

The elderly women who had just received their money from inside the house were shocked to see him like this.

"Li Jianjun, what are you trying to do?"

"Young Mu, he didn't offend you, did he?"

……

"Don't interfere! Anyone who tries to protect that bastard Li Mu today, I'll fight them to the death."

Li Jianjun pointed the ice pick in his mouth and shouted at the old women and aunties who were talking, his face fierce and like a vicious wolf.

Needless to say, he probably couldn't even get into the county before the management confiscated all his fish.

Not only were they confiscated, but they were also probably fined a lot of money.

Li Mu strode up to the group of older women and gave Li Jianjun a cold smile.

"Stop yelling! So what if the fish were taken away by the management before the people even entered the city? So what if we didn't make any money from the fish and even had to pay a lot of fines to the management?"

"You, you little brat, you really knew! Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Jianjun was even angrier now. He was wondering why Li Mu hadn't reacted at all when he saw him selling fish.

I'm really looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself!

"Pah! Li Mu, you bastard, your heart is truly black." Li Jianjun spat fiercely, his bloodshot eyes blazing with even more ferocity.

Li Mu was indeed not afraid at all, and instead sneered coldly, "Come on, Li Jianjun, don't blame the toilet for not being able to poop."

“You caught this fish yourself, you didn’t partner with me, Li Mu. You wanted to sell it in the county town, and that was your own choice, not something I, Li Mu, forced you to do.”

As soon as he said those words, Li Jianjun was like a toad with its mouth pinched shut, all the anger he wanted to vent was forced back down.

I can neither go up nor down.

All he could do was stare wide-eyed, his eyes bulging out.

After a long pause, Li Jianjun finally managed to utter a sentence: "No matter what, the county has business management officials arresting people, why didn't you tell me?"

“Jianjun, that’s not right of you. We didn’t see any business management when we came out of the county town, so how could we tell you?”

Seeing that Li Mu had made his point clear, yet Li Jianjun was still making a fuss, Li Siming quickly spoke up to support him.

Several older women and aunties nearby heard the whole story, and one of them immediately rolled her eyes.

"You're the one who's unlucky, and you're blaming others."

"Exactly, he's not acting like a man at all."

……

Three women make a drama, a group of women make a drama within a drama.

Li Jianjun was about to retort when he saw Tao Yimei helping Tao Qingshan out of the house.

The initial urge to shout vanished instantly.

"Village, village chief."

Li Jianjun stammered, his head bowed so low it seemed he had no neck.

"Let's go! Everyone knows the truth, so stop making a scene."

“But I…” Li Jianjun was still somewhat dissatisfied.

That was a whole truckload of fish! Not only would we get fined, but we'd also have to pay an extra 20 yuan.

He spent a full thirty dollars on his fishing gear, and now it's all gone down the drain.

However, Tao Qingshan didn't give him a chance to continue. "Jianjun, go home. Everyone just got their money from selling mountain produce today, and they're all happy!"

Selling mountain products!

Li Mu really sold all the mountain products!

Li Jianjun glanced around, looking at the mountain produce that hadn't been sorted yet, and the people standing at Tao Qingshan's door.

A fleeting glint of shock and jealousy flashed across his eyes.

Why is it that Li Mu can succeed at everything, while Li Jianjun always fails at everything he does?

Thinking this, Li Jianjun slammed the ice pick in his hand into the ground. "Li Mu, you better not let me see you fishing again, or we're not done yet."

After saying that, Li Jianjun turned around and stormed out of Tao Qingshan's courtyard.

Looking at that back view, it really resembled a stray dog ​​that couldn't get food and still barked wildly.

"This Jianjun is really outrageous." Zeng Dazhen frowned and couldn't help but mutter, then turned to look at Li Mu beside her.

"Young Mu, don't listen to that kid's nonsense. Don't worry about anything, your uncle is here! In any case, we can't let him bully you."

"Aunt Zeng, don't worry. I, Li Mu, am a man destined for great things. How could I stoop to his level?"

Li Mu spoke with a smile, his face showing no sign of being discouraged or backing down because of Li Jianjun's two words.

"Uncle Tao, Aunt Zeng, ladies and aunties, I'll head back now if there's nothing else. Don't forget to buy some meat later!"

"Now that we have money, we should at least have a good meal first."

After saying this and receiving everyone's approval, Li Mu left the Tao family.

The men who were delivering goods with him, led by Li Ganzi, also followed.

The group chatted and laughed on the way, completely forgetting what had just happened.

Soon, Li Mu waved goodbye to them and went home.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother, Liang Meifen, sweeping the floor with a broom. The whole house looked brand new.

"Mother, have my brother and the others returned yet?" Li Mu asked with a smile, glancing into the house, but it didn't seem like anyone was inside.

“She’s been back for a while now. Your brother sent your sister-in-law back to her parents’ home. They’re not officially married yet, so we’ll let her stay with us after they get married.”

Liang Meifen smiled, a stark contrast to her usual disdainful demeanor when she saw Li Mu.

This made Li Mu click his tongue twice, "Look at you, so worthless. All you know is that my brother is getting married. Anyone who didn't know better would think you'd found a gold nugget!"

"Get lost! You little brat, stop messing with me." Liang Meifen stopped what she was doing, ran over to Li Mu in a few steps, and smacked him on the butt with a broom.

Turning her head to look around and seeing no one, she whispered, "How much money did you make today, kid? Come on, tell your mother quickly."

Li Mu chuckled and casually reached into his pocket, pulling out a fifty-yuan note.

"You made another fifty yuan! Son, you're really amazing."

Liang Meifen's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the fifty yuan, but she didn't take the money. "Alright, just put the money away."

"From now on, save your own money and don't spend it recklessly, or you won't even have enough money left to get married."

As Li Mu listened to Liang Meifen's instructions, his thoughts drifted back to his past life.

But soon, the aged face of Liang Meifen from her previous life overlapped with the Liang Meifen before her eyes.

"Mom, do you really think that's all your son is capable of? I've already earned enough to support my wife."
