Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Xiao Bei, thank you for saving my son. I, Fan Weihua, will forever remember your great kindness. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know. I'll be there whenever you call!"

"Brother Weihua, we're from the same village. It's only right. Get up!"

Liu Bei quickly helped Fan Weihua up.

"Thump~"

Just as Fan Weihua was helped up,

Fan Weihua's wife, who had just woken up, also ran over and knelt down in front of Liu Bei.

"Xiao Bei, thank you. I'm kowtowing to you!"

"Sister-in-law, please don't do this, please don't do this—"

However, no matter what Liu Bei said or tried to stop her, Fan Weihua's wife insisted on thanking him. Helpless, Liu Bei had no choice but to let her go.

A moment later, a village woman called out happily, "Weihua, Weihua's wife, your child has woken up! Come and see him!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Weihua and his wife hurriedly ran over.

really.

The child woke up.

Although his face was extremely pale, he thankfully survived.

"My child, you almost scared me to death!"

Fan Weihua's wife immediately hugged the child and started crying.

At this moment, tears also welled up in Fan Weihua's eyes.

Men don't easily shed tears, unless they are truly heartbroken.

How could a father not shed tears when his son was out of danger?

"Good, good! It's good that you're awake!" Fan Sanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to Liu Bei, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Bei, we owe you a lot this time. You truly are a great hero of our village! Well done!"

"Great hero!" Upon hearing this, Fan Ha'er immediately raised his hand in response.

"A great hero!" Li Dazhuang quickly echoed.

"Great hero!" Tan Si raised his hand high and shouted.

"A great hero!"

"A great hero!"

……

Soon, the villagers all joined in, shouting, clapping, and cheering.

At that moment, Liu Bei became a man admired by the entire village.

Looking at Liu Bei's smug expression.

Fan Xibei and Zhao Liuzhi, who were on the bamboo raft on the lake, darkened their faces.

"Damn it! He's become a great hero? Brother Northwest, what do we do?" Zhao Liuzhi's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"Hmph! As the old saying goes, the higher you're praised, the higher you fall. Let that kid gloat for a few more days. Once he's had his fill of gloating, he'll know how painful the fall will be!" Fan Xibei cursed coldly.

"That's right. That kid won't be able to gloat for long! Humph!!!" Zhao Liuzhi's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Liu Bei.

And on this side,

Seeing his son being praised as a great hero by the villagers,

Zhao Da'e then realized that saving people had such benefits.

At that moment, she finally realized that her son had become someone she couldn't understand at all.

No matter how it changes,

Liu Bei was also born after she carried him for ten months; he was her son.

As a mother, she was naturally happy that her son was doing well.

The more I listen, the happier I get.

"Yay! Daddy's a hero!"

Panpan suddenly jumped up and started clapping as she jumped.

"My dad is a great hero! My dad is a great hero!" Liu Nian and Xiao Bao exclaimed happily.

Seeing the happy faces of the four generations of the family,

Lin Wanqiu deliberately took a few more glances at her man's back.

Broad, solid, and tall—no wonder he's the man I've chosen.

I made the right choice marrying him in this lifetime.

Su Yuehe, standing to the side, had her mouth agape in an "O" shape, her smile even brighter than a hibiscus flower.

This man has really changed; he's become strong and powerful.

That's really impressive!

As for Zhao Chunyan, she was radiating joy and excitement.

stinky man,

He actually became a great hero.

That's really showing off.

But that's fine too. The stinkier you are, the more smug you become. The more I eat you tonight, the more chewy you'll be.

You stinky man, tonight you'd better get clean and wait for me to give you a good pounding.

Haha ...

A moment later,

Chen Qiaolan walked over, bowed her head, and apologized to Liu Bei, "Xiao Bei, it was wrong of me to stop Ha'er from saving you—"

"Auntie, what you're saying isn't right!" Liu Bei interrupted Chen Qiaolan. "Ha'er is my brother. If I were really in trouble, how could I drag him down with me? You did the right thing back then. I don't blame you."

"Xiao Bei, I...I...thank you!" Chen Qiaolan felt both ashamed and moved.

"Did you hear that? From now on, whatever Ha'er wants to do, don't stop him anymore. Let him do it boldly." Fan Shuanzhu walked over and said.

"Yes. No more. Never again." Chen Qiaolan nodded.

"Xiao Bei! Well done!" Old Tan also came over, smiled, and looked at the otter on the ground. "But what about that water ghost?"

"A water ghost?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone fell silent and turned to look at the water ghost.

That's right.

What should you do if you encounter a water ghost?

"Secretary, what do you suggest we do?" Liu Bei looked at Fan Sanyuan.

Fan Sanyuan walked up to the water ghost, squatted down, and examined it carefully.

It looks really like a monkey, but it's uglier than a monkey, like a monster.

He frowned. "You killed this thing, Xiao Bei. You decide what to do with it!"

"Sell it!" Liu Bei made the decision.

"Huh?" The villagers were in an uproar upon hearing this.

"Xiao Bei, is this thing still available for sale?"

"This is a water ghost, a man-eating creature! It's for sale? Who would buy it?"

"Oh yeah. Who would buy it? Who would dare to buy it?"

……

The villagers were talking about it.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No, it's not a ghost. It's called an otter. It's an aquatic animal. It's ferocious by nature. Like the wild animals in the mountains, it can be sold. Don't worry, folks, I won't keep the money from selling this otter. I'll donate it to the village for children's school subsidies!"

"What?"

"Xiao Bei, are you serious?"

These words caused an uproar throughout the village.

All eyes turned to Liu Bei.

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded affirmatively.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"amazing!"

"Truly a great hero!"

"Well done!"

"Slap slap~"

Immediately, the whole village erupted in thunderous applause once again, and everyone looked at Liu Bei with admiration in their eyes.

Liu Bei used to be a gambler and an alcoholic. When he drank too much and lost money, he would go home and beat his wife and children.

He became the most despised scoundrel in Fanjiacun.

But what about Liu Bei now?

Not only does he hunt to earn money, but he has also become a hero recognized by the public security department for his courageous act. Today, he not only saved a life, but also plans to sell the water ghost to donate to the village as a subsidy for the children's schooling.

This spirit is truly admirable.

Great, absolutely great!

"Okay! Great!" Upon hearing this, Fan Sanyuan's gaze towards Liu Bei changed slightly. After a moment, he said, "Alright. It's settled then! It's getting late, Weihua, Weihua's wife, you two should take the baby and head home. Everyone else, you can leave!"

"Um!"

Soon, Fan Weihua and his wife took their child home.

The villagers also dispersed one after another.

"Dazhuang, Tan Si, you two take the otters and wait for me at the village entrance!"

"Okay, Brother Bei!"

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si nodded and carried the otters toward the village entrance.

"Brother Bei, what about me? What am I doing?" Fan Ha'er leaned over and pointed at himself.

"You—" Liu Bei pondered for a moment, resting his chin on his hand, "You should just go home and rest!"

"Rest? No way! If I rest, my parents will start fighting in bed again. It'll keep me awake. I don't want to rest. I want to go sell otters too."

Chen Qiaolan: "..."

My neck turned red instantly.

This brat, what nonsense is he spouting in front of outsiders?

Fan Shuanzhu was so angry that he raised his hand to slap Fan Ha'er, but Fan Ha'er quickly dodged.

He yelled, "Dad, you spanked Mom's bottom with your hand last night. Don't you think her bottom smells bad? You want to spank me again today? Go wash up first!"

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Tan, Zhao Da'e, Liu Bei, and the others all burst out laughing.

That Fan Ha'er, he's a real talent!

"You brat, I'll beat you to death!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Shuan slapped him across the face.

Fan Ha'er dodged in time and ran towards the village entrance.

"You stop right there!"

"No way! I don't want to smell my mom's stinky bottom!"

"..."
