Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Liu Bei looked at Lin Wanqiu and smiled, "It doesn't matter if they don't come."

"Huh?" Lin Wanqiu didn't quite understand.

Liu Bei explained, "Think about it, our family's money will only keep increasing. There are too many people and too much gossip in the village. If we live further away, it will be quieter and less crowded. Of course, more importantly, it's safer. You understand what I mean, right?"

"I see! I understand now!"

Lin Wanqiu nodded.

"Yes, I understand!"

Zhao Chunyan said.

"Now that you understand, it's settled!"

"good!"

……

Soon, news of Liu Bei's application for a new homestead to build a new house spread throughout the village.

"What? Xiao Bei applied for that overgrown mound on the south bank of Zhangjia Lake? Really?"

"Is he out of his mind? In the summer, the mosquitoes there are so strong you could carry a person away."

"It's so good to be rich. You can do whatever you want. I'm so envious."

"Even if you have money, you can't spend it on that kind of awful place. Building houses there is no different from throwing money into the water..."

……

The villagers were talking about it.

Some people were envious, some shook their heads, and some were puzzled.

But Fan Xibei was furious and jealous when he heard the news.

By this time, the night was deep.

The room was dark. Fan Xibei lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling with a very displeased expression.

"Why are you tossing and turning in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? What are you trying to do? Don't you want to sleep?" His wife, Li Xiulan, complained unhappily.

"Sleep my ass." Fan Xibei squinted. "Do you even know which piece of land that kid Liu Bei applied for?"

Which one?

"That mound of wasteland, thirty meters west of the south bank of Zhangjia Lake."

Xiulan rolled over: "So what now?"

"What's wrong?" Fan Xibei sat up abruptly, his tone full of sarcasm.

"That piece of land is seven or eight hundred meters away from our village. Even Ning Gui would run over there to take a dump, and he actually picked it? You think his taste is any better?"

"Not to mention that, that piece of land is only about 30 meters away from Zhangjia Lake! As soon as the rainy season comes in the summer, the water level of Zhangjia Lake will definitely rise sharply, and then... his new house will definitely be flooded. Then his new house will be completely submerged in water and rot into a pile of mud."

At this point, Fan Xibei scoffed, "By then, all the money he spent building his new house will have gone down the drain. All that hard-earned money will have been for nothing!"

"Yeah?"

Li Xiulan shook her head.

"But they really know how to make money. Even if it gets flooded, they can just renovate it. They're good at making money, so they won't care."

"you--"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xibei's expression stiffened.

Xiulan continued, "Of course, if you, Fan Xibei, had that kind of ability, you could go and make money too. With money, you could spend it however you wanted, and nobody could stop you. But could you afford it?"

"..."

Fan Xibei turned his head and stared at Xiulan: "Li Xiulan, are you really my wife? Why are you always siding with that bastard? Are you two having an affair?"

"Fan Xibei, are you fucking crazy?"

Upon hearing this, Xiulan sat up abruptly.

"Fan Xibei! You're a good-for-nothing, utterly useless, and you won't even let others say that? If you're so capable, why don't you go hunting in the mountains? What kind of real man acts like this, bullying his mother at home?"

"you--"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Back in the day, there was a whole line of guys chasing after me! But I ended up choosing a loser like you. I was so blind!"

Xiulan got more and more excited as she talked, and kicked Fan Xibei to the edge of the bed. "Get out of here right now! My bed doesn't welcome you tonight!"

"Li Xiulan!!!"

"What are you yelling for? Did I say something wrong? Fan Xibei, wait until you can make money like Liu Bei and squander it like it's nothing before you come into my room and get into my bed!"

Xiulan interrupted Fan Xibei, sneered, and pointed to the door, "Can't do it? Then you can forget about it for the rest of your life. Now, get out of my room right now!!!"

"You bitch!! 1"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xibei was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

Outside, Liu Bei made him lose face and he couldn't hold his head up in front of the villagers.

Even his only loyal follower, Zhao Liuzhi, was forced out of the village by Liu Bei.

Now even his own wife compares him to Liu Bei.

He even threatened that if he didn't make money, he wouldn't be allowed to sleep with his wife.

For a man to do this is utterly shameful.

This is an absolute disgrace!

"Li Xiulan, you bitch. You like competing so much, don't you? Fine, I'll let you compete!"

As he was speaking, Fan Xibei suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Xiulan by the neck.

"What...what are you doing? Are you crazy? Let go, let go..."

Li Xiulan struggled desperately, her face flushed red.

"You...you let go...useless...cough..."

"All you do is...bully women...you...childless...good-for-nothing..."

"Still cursing me? You slut. Still saying you didn't have an affair with Liu Bei? Tonight, I'm going to strangle you, you unfaithful bitch!!!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xibei's eyes reddened, and he tightened his grip.

Xiulan's voice grew weaker and weaker, and her face turned from red to purple.

"Clap clap clap!"

Just then, a burst of applause came from outside the window.

Immediately afterwards, a loud voice rang out:

"Fan Xibei! You and your wife can't fight like this!"

"Fan Ha'er?"

Upon recognizing Fan Ha'er's voice, Fan Xibei suddenly stopped.

"Fan Xibei, this really won't work. Listen to me, you need to try a different approach! If you don't know how, I'll teach you!"

While clapping, Fan Ha'er shouted, "If you agree, I'll come in right away and personally teach you how to fight with your wife!"

"Don't worry, I learned this move from my dad and mom. I guarantee you'll learn it!"

Fan Xibei: "..."

Black lines appeared all over his forehead.

At this point, Fan Ha'er added, "Why are you glaring at me like that? Are you afraid I'll take your money? Don't worry about it! I won't take your money! You just need to agree to let me go in and work with your wife to teach you!"

Fan Xibei: "..."

His entire face was so black it looked like it could drip black ink.

That bastard Liu Bei has bullied me time and time again, making me lose face completely.

His wife, Li Xiulan, looked down on him, calling him a good-for-nothing and telling him to get out of the room. She said he might be having an affair with that bastard Liu Bei behind his back.

This had already infuriated him enough.

But now,

Even Fan Ha'er, the village's acknowledged idiot, came to mock him for being no good.

Hey!

No matter what, I'm a normal person. When did it become your place, you big idiot, to laugh at me?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Fan Ha'er, you son of a bitch, you're asking for it!!!"
