Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Auntie, it's me, Ha'er!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da'e opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see that it really was Fan Ha'er. "Ha'er, you've come to see Xiao Bei so early? Is there something important?"

"Auntie, I made plans with Brother Bei. We're going to town together at dawn to sell the fish!"

"Oh, selling fish. He's still sleeping. Go into the yard and wait. I'll go wake him!"

"Auntie, you should go and rest. I'll go wake him up!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Da'e to speak, Fan Ha'er ran to Liu Bei's house and knocked on the door.

Zhao Da'e: "..."

"Knock knock knock~"

Fan Ha'er knocked a few times, and then the door opened.

"Huh? The door wasn't closed?"

Fan Ha'er hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside and went to Liu Bei's bedside.

"Hmm? Why does it smell weird?"

Fan Ha'er sniffed the strange smell in the air, completely bewildered.

She nudged Liu Bei, "Brother Bei, it's almost dawn, get up!"

"Who is it?"

"Hey, you said you'd go to town to sell fish at dawn! If you don't get up now, it'll be too late!"

"Selling fish?" Still half-asleep, Liu Bei paused for a moment before fully opening his eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is Fan Ha'er's familiar face.

"Huh?"

"Oh, right. Brother Bei, get up quickly. Oh, by the way, Brother Bei, there's a strange smell in your room. I feel like I've smelled it somewhere before, but I can't remember where. It's really strange!"

"Strange taste?"

Liu Bei sniffed the air and his expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked down.

What the hell!

I had a terrible dream last night and did things I shouldn't have.

Luckily, Ha'er is an idiot and doesn't understand these things.

How embarrassing would it be if my three ex-wives, or my mother, came in and found out?

"Uh, ah, go to the pond outside and put the fish in. I'll wash up and then we'll go to town together."

"Okay, Brother Bei, hurry up!"

"Okay, go and pack the fish!" Liu Bei smiled, and Fan Ha'er quickly ran out.

Only after Fan Ha'er was out of sight did Liu Bei breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly got up to find a clean pair of pants in the box under the bed to change into.

Then he sneaked out of the house and came to the old well. After not seeing anyone else, he began to wash his dirty pants that had caused the trouble.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and he got through it safely. Otherwise, if they found out what he did last night, he would have no way to clear his name.

"Sigh~"

Shaking his head, Liu Bei hung up his pants and began to wash up.

Half an hour later.

"Mom, Ha'er and I are going to town to sell fish!"

"You haven't had breakfast yet!"

"I'm not eating anymore. Let's go eat in town!"

"It's getting dark, be careful on the road!"

"knew!"

……

After ten minutes,

After borrowing a horse-drawn carriage from Fan Laoqi, who was in charge of horses in the village, Liu Bei went to town with Fan Ha'er and headed straight for the shop of Chen Shunzi, the buyer from last time.

When they arrived at the market, the alluring young woman from last time was there again.

The young woman at today's fish market is different from the last one.

This time, she wore a snow-white low-cut dress.

He sat at the shop entrance, legs crossed, cracking sunflower seeds.

Half of her raised leg was exposed to the air, bathed in the red light of the early morning, making it appear both white and pink, adding to its allure and charm.

"Splash splash~"

Looking at the alluring legs of the young woman in the fish market, Fan Ha'er drooled.

"Brother Bei, if only she were a mermaid. I could go to the lake and fish her out, then I could bring her home. Then you could teach me how to have a baby with her!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Ha, thank you so much.

You're having a good time while I'm left watching and feeling jealous. You're really something else.

Shaking his head, Liu Bei covered Fan Ha'er's eyes. "Didn't I tell you? That woman isn't a good woman. Don't look! Let's go to Chen Shunzi's!"

"Young man, it's you again."

Just then, the young woman from the fish market saw Fan Ha'er drooling, smiled at him, and deliberately lowered her body, revealing a very pretty little ditch.

"Young man, are you here to sell fish again? If so, sell some to me. This time, I promise you won't get ripped off!"

As she spoke, the young woman from the fish market winked at Fan Ha'er.

Those eyes were full of allure.

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Fan Ha'er, causing him to drool even more profusely.

His eyes were wide open, as if his soul had been stolen by the young woman at the fish market.

Liu Bei: "..."

Finished!

Ha'er's puberty is getting worse and worse.

go on like this,

It's bound to collapse sooner or later.

"Cough cough~"

Liu Bei immediately coughed a few times, his tone very cold, "Stop trying to seduce my brother. Stay away from my brother!"

The young woman at the fish market: "..."

"What are you looking at? If you mess with my brother again, believe me, I'll call Chief Zhou from the police station and have him arrest you and put you in jail for a few days!"

The young woman at the fish market: "..."

Her chest heaved with anger, which was quite alluring.

But the more this is the case,

Fan Ha'er's eyes shone even brighter.

"Brother Bei, I...can I...with her..."

"No!" Before Fan Ha'er could finish speaking, Liu Bei pulled Fan Ha'er away.

"Hey, you remember this. The prettier the woman, the less you should go for her!"

Why?

"Women who are too beautiful have wicked hearts. They'll eat you alive!"

"But all three of your sisters-in-law are very beautiful. And they didn't eat you, did they?"

Liu Bei: "..."

They didn't eat?

I've eaten it countless times already, okay?

Looking down at her waist, she realized she had lost a lot of weight compared to Fan Ha'er.

Looks like I need to drink more turtle soup to replenish my energy.

"Cough cough~"

"What? You're not even listening to me anymore?"

"No...no. Brother Bei, of course I'll listen to you, but that woman is really...really beautiful, I...I like her so much!"

"What's the use of your liking her? She already has a man. Are you trying to seduce her and end up in jail?"

"...Then...maybe I'll just forget about it!"

"Good to know. My dear, you must remember this: don't get involved with pretty women. If you really want to get married, you should marry a plump one."

"A little chubby? Why?"

"She's so lucky for her husband! Mermaids are lucky for their husbands!"

"Mermaids? Speaking of mermaids, it's all Zhao Liuzhi's and Zhang Hu's fault. If it weren't for those two interfering last night, we would definitely have caught a mermaid if we had just kept fishing. Don't let me see Zhang Hu again. Otherwise—" Fan Ha'er stretched out his sharp claws, "otherwise, I'll smash him to pieces and turn him into egg drop soup!"

"..."

Just imagining the scene sent a chill down Liu Bei's spine.

Judging from Fan Ha'er's serious expression, Zhang Hu is definitely in for a rough time next time.

"Alright, we're here!"

As they were talking, Liu Bei and his men arrived at the door of Chen Shunzi's shop.

"Brother Liu, come here. How much do you have today?" Chen Shunzi immediately came over.

"Not many, just three buckets!"

"Let me see..." Chen Shunzi looked at each of the wooden buckets one by one. One bucket was full of fish, another was full of eels, and the last one was full of turtles, and there were quite a few of them, a total of 20. His face lit up with joy.

"Brother Liu, how about the same price as last time?"

"Can!"

Soon, Chen Shunzi handed the money to Liu Bei.

The fish sold for 150 yuan, the eels for 80 yuan, and the soft-shelled turtles for 220 yuan, for a total of 550 yuan.

Although it can't compare to hunting

But it's still a lot of money.

Liu Bei was still a little excited.

Adding the two thousand yuan given to Lin Wanqiu, it's nearly three thousand yuan.

We're still short half of the five thousand yuan needed to build a new house.

However, after thinking about it again, he realized that besides building a new house, there was another practical problem to solve: the transportation issue.

Every time I come to town or go to the city, I have to borrow someone else's car, which is too much trouble.

Of course, walking is more troublesome.

Even though he claims to have three legs, what about his three ex-wives?

They only have two legs.

Every time we go to town to deliver goods, there's always one person who can't ride a bike and has to walk, which is too troublesome.

Unlike myself, who has an extra leg and can rely on stimulation to boost my energy and hold on a little longer, this predicament needs to be changed.

This can't go on any longer.

Therefore, the most urgent thing is to buy a car...
