Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Six Fingers, my son, are you alright?"

Zhao Liuzhi's mother panicked immediately, glaring at Fan Shuanzhu and roaring, "Fan Shuanzhu, is this the good son you raised? Didn't you see how he made my son vomit blood? Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Fan Shuanzhu stepped forward, shrugged, and said, "He vomits blood after being scolded a few times by my son. You still consider him a treasure? I think you're better off without him!"

"Exactly!" Chen Qiaolan walked over as well. "They even betrayed their own villagers. They deserve to be furious. What kind of scum is that! They don't even deserve to be my grandson. Bah!!!"

"You...you..."

Zhao Liuzhi's mother was so angry that her face turned black. She immediately jumped up and started clawing at Chen Qiaolan.

"Bang!"

Fan Ha'er kicked her to the ground and yelled, "If you dare touch my mother, I'll really sleep with you!"

"..."

Startled, Zhao Liuzhi's mother collapsed to the ground, slapping her thighs and wailing:

"Oh dear! My life is so miserable!"

"Back in my youth, I was the most beautiful girl in the surrounding area. The handsome young men who wanted to date me stretched for over a hundred meters!"

"And yet I actually fell for this good-for-nothing from your Fan Family Village. What the worst luck I've ever had! If I'd known it would turn out like this, I... I shouldn't have married into your Fan Family Village in the first place..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the villagers' faces all fell.

Liu Bei raised an eyebrow, looking at the village secretary. "Secretary, there's no need to waste words with this old shrew. Since she despises our Fanjiacun Village, let's grant her wish. Drive her whole family out of the village!"

"Yes, drive them out of the village!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

……

With Liu Bei taking the lead, the whole village started making a fuss.

Zhao Liuzhi's mother: "..."

I was completely dumbfounded.

She thought that by throwing a tantrum and acting shamelessly, she could get away with it, but she didn't expect to get the same result.

"You bastard Liu Bei! You're trying to sow discord. Just wait and see how I deal with you!!!"

After a brief moment of surprise,

Zhao Liuzhi's mother scrambled to her feet again, brandishing her fists and angrily charging at Liu Bei.

"Snap!"

Before she could reach Liu Bei, Zhao Chunyan suddenly stepped forward and slapped her across the face.

"Clang!"

Zhao Liuzhi's mother swayed and fell to the ground.

"You dare touch my man? Did you even ask me, Zhao Chunyan?"

"..."

"What are you looking at? Your son is a traitor! You're a shrew! Your youngest son's in jail, he'll be a convict when he gets out. Oh, and your spineless husband too. Not a single one of you is any good. You don't deserve to be from Fan Family Village. Get out of here! Or I'll tear your whole family's mouths apart!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

……

The villagers started making trouble again.

Zhao Liuzhi's mother turned to look at her husband.

But then her husband started kowtowing to the village secretary, pleading, "Secretary, our Zhao family has lived here for three generations. This is our ancestral home. Please, have mercy, don't—"

"Stop talking. Pack your things and let's go." Before he could finish speaking, Fan Sanyuan waved his hand to interrupt him.

"boom!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liuzhi's father collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, his eyes becoming vacant, as if his soul had been stolen by a ghost, utterly devoid of life.

"Father...are you...are you alright?"

Zhao Liu shook his father, and when he found no response, he quickly looked at the village secretary, Fan Sanyuan.

"Secretary, is there really no room for negotiation?"

"That's the will of the people. There's no room for discussion. Hurry up and go home, pack your things, and get out!" Fan Sanyuan turned around and waved his hand.

"You forced me to do this!!!"

As soon as the words left his mouth,

Zhao Liuzhi struggled to get up from the ground, then rushed to Fan Sanyuan and grabbed Fan Sanyuan by the throat.

"Don't move, or I'll strangle him!"

"..."

Everything happened so suddenly.

By the time the villagers realized what was happening, it was too late.

"You son of a bitch Zhao Liuzhi, release my dad right now!"

"Yes, release my father immediately!"

"Six Fingers, good brother, don't be foolish. Release my uncle, and we can talk things over!" Zhao Liuzhi was his most loyal follower. If something really happened to him, who would he have to fight against Liu Bei in the village? He was anxious and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Brother? Brother my ass! Fan Xibei, you're a fucking piece of trash! You always brag about how awesome you are, but what happened? You've always been suppressed by that bastard Liu Bei. You didn't even dare to utter a sound! I was blind to have followed you in the first place. Get the fuck away from me! Don't get in my way!"

Fan Xibei: "..."

His face immediately darkened.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get lost? If you don't get lost, I'll strangle your uncle!"

Zhao Liuzhi got angry and suddenly exerted force.

"Ouch~ It hurts~"

Fan Sanyuan let out a miserable scream.

"No, don't be impulsive!" Fan Sanyuan's eldest son panicked and kicked Fan Xibei. "I told you to get lost, didn't you hear me? Get out of here now!"

"Do you want my father to die? Get out of here!" Fan Sanyuan's youngest son roared.

Fan Sanyuan: "..."

He was so angry he was gritting his teeth.

He meant well, but his good intentions were misunderstood.

"Fine. Very well. You want me to get lost, huh? Fine. I'll leave. You'll regret it!"

Nodding, Fan Xibei left with a sullen face.

"Get out of here, Northwest. Can you let my father go now?" Fan Sanyuan's eldest son pleaded.

"I'll release the Party Secretary if you want, but you have to agree to three conditions!" Zhao Liuzhi shouted fiercely.

"As long as you release my father, you can name any conditions you want!" Fan Sanyuan's eldest son responded.

"First, you mustn't drive my whole family out of the village!"

"Well... okay, I promise!"

"Secondly, make those two bastards, Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er, kneel down and kowtow a hundred times to apologize to me!"

"Ah... this..." Fan Sanyuan's eldest and youngest sons looked at Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er with some difficulty.

"Damn it! Zhao Liuzhi, you're my godson, and you expect me to kneel down and kowtow to you? What are you trying to do? Rebel? You unfilial wretch. I don't want you anymore, you unfilial son! It'll only annoy me!" Fan Ha'er cursed.

Zhao Liuzhi: "..."

Enraged, she gritted her teeth and glared at Fan Sanyuan's two sons. "Do you agree or not? If you don't, I'll strangle the Party Secretary right now!"

"Thump~"

Fan Sanyuan's eldest son immediately knelt down before Liu Bei, pleading, "Brother Liu Bei, I'm begging you! Please help me!"

"Yes. Please help me!" Fan Sanyuan's youngest son also knelt down before Liu Bei.

"You—" Fan Ha'er exclaimed angrily, "Brother Bei, we can't agree to this!"

"Yes, we can't agree to that!" Li Dazhuang and Tan Si echoed.

"Liu Bei, no!" Zhao Chunyan pulled Liu Bei's arm and shook her head.

"Liu Bei! Don't be impulsive!"

Lin Wanqiu also advised Liu Bei, "A man's knees are worth more than gold! He can kneel to heaven, earth, parents, and ancestors. But he absolutely cannot kneel to outsiders!"

"Late Autumn is right. Xiao Bei, if you're going to kneel, you can only kneel to the ancestors of our Liu family. You can't kneel to outsiders!"

Zhao Da'e echoed.

"Mother's right, Liu Bei, don't kneel!"

Upon learning this, Su Yuehe, who had just arrived, also pulled Liu Bei along.

"Dad, you're a hero, you can't kneel before bad guys!"

"Dad, you can't kneel!"

"Daddy, you can't kneel!"
