Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Five thousand yuan.

Sun Changjiang held up five fingers.

As soon as this word comes out,

It was like a thunderbolt striking all the villagers present, and everyone froze on the spot, stunned.

"What? Five...five thousand?"

After a while, Old Man Tan was the first to react. He lost his grip on the hunting rifle, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

Five thousand yuan?!

"Did I hear that right? That's five thousand? The most I've ever seen in my life is only a hundred dollars! Five thousand? My goodness, am I dreaming?"

"Good heavens, five thousand dollars is enough to build a really nice brick and cement house!"

"Liu Bei has struck it rich! This time, he's really struck it rich!"

Soon, the villagers were in an uproar.

They spoke in turns, their voices growing louder and louder.

Some people slapped their thighs, some rubbed their hands, and some turned to look at the people around them, as if to make sure they weren't dreaming.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da'e froze on the spot.

Five thousand yuan! That's five thousand yuan!

This was the most money she had ever seen in her life.

She never dared to dream of such an amount of money before.

But now, people from the city are offering five thousand for a snake his son brought back.

The ancestral graves of the Liu family are emitting auspicious smoke again!

Great! That's fantastic!

Lin Wanqiu on the other side was filled with excitement.

Five thousand yuan! Adding the three thousand yuan I already have, and if I earn another one or two thousand, I'll become a ten-thousand-yuan household.

A millionaire?

This person is a millionaire!

"Sister Yuehe!"

Zhao Chunyan excitedly grabbed Su Yuehe's arm.

"Five thousand dollars...that's five thousand dollars...that bastard...he..."

As she spoke, Zhao Chunyan became too excited to continue; she was simply too thrilled.

"Yes. I...I heard you!"

Su Yuehe also came to her senses, nodded, and looked incredulous.

"Brother Bei!"

While everyone was still in shock, Fan Ha'er hugged Liu Bei tightly.

"Brother Bei, you've struck it rich! Five thousand yuan! Five thousand yuan! You're my brother! My dearest brother!"

"roll--"

However, before Liu Bei could finish speaking, Fan Ha'er gave him a firm kiss on his left cheek.

"..."

The entire room fell silent instantly.

All eyes turned to Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er.

Even the air seemed to freeze in shock.

Holy crap!

Li Dazhuang was so startled that he took a step back.

"That's terrifying!!!"

Tan Si covered his mouth tightly.

"That's really scary!!!"

Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang exchanged a glance, then turned their heads away simultaneously, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

As for Liu Bei, the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Nima!

In broad daylight.

In front of the whole village.

That idiot Fan Ha'er actually kissed him?

If this gets out, how will he ever be able to face people again?

"Fan Zhenxing!!!"

Liu Bei pushed Fan Ha'er away, then quickly raised his hand and rubbed his face hard twice, as if he wanted to scrub off the skin.

"What are you up to?"

"Hehe... Brother Bei, I'm so happy!" As he spoke, Fan Ha'er revealed his row of flawless white teeth.

Liu Bei: "..."

"Damn it! If you're so happy, go kiss your dad! Stay away from me!"

"Pfft~"

At this point, the surrounding villagers could no longer hold back.

"Ha ha!"

"That idiot Fan Ha'er!"

"I've lived forty years, and this is the first time I've ever seen a man kiss another man!"

In an instant, the whole village was doubled over with laughter.

Fan Shuanzhu: "..."

He rushed over with a dark expression, grabbed Fan Ha'er by the back of the neck, and dragged him away like a chick.

"You disgraceful wretch! Get the hell away from me!"

Watching her son's behavior, Chen Qiaolan stood at the back of the crowd, her face buried in her apron, wishing she could dig a hole in the ground and disappear.

……

Sun Changjiang was stunned for several seconds as he watched Fan Ha'er's crazy scene.

He subconsciously took two steps back, creating a safe distance between himself and Liu Bei.

His gaze kept shifting from Fan Ha'er to Liu Bei, and then back to Fan Ha'er.

These two...could they be that couple?

Thinking of this, Sun Changjiang couldn't help but shudder. "How terrifying!!!"

Liu Bei saw through Sun Changjiang's thoughts and explained, "Boss Sun, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. That kid is just a bit slow on the uptake, he got too excited! He didn't mean anything by it!"

Ai Changhe quickly smoothed things over: "Yes, yes, yes. Boss Sun, Fan Zhenxing has been like this since he was a child. He's known for being simple-minded all around here. Don't overthink it."

"Yeah?"

Sun Changjiang sized up Liu Bei several more times, and it took him a while to recover.

"Alright... then!"

After a pause, Sun Changjiang continued:

"Comrade Liu Bei, I'm willing to offer five thousand yuan to buy that white python. Are you willing to accept this price?"

"I'm willing," Liu Bei nodded.

"good!"

Hearing this, Sun Changjiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he only had five thousand yuan on him today.

If Liu Bei were to raise the price, he really wouldn't be able to come up with any more money in a short time.

Fortunately, Liu Bei was not greedy and accepted the price he offered.

"Great! That's satisfying!" After saying that, Sun Changjiang reached for his money.

"Wait a minute," Liu Bei suddenly said.

"Comrade Liu Bei, you're not going to back out so quickly and ask for a higher price, are you?" Sun Changjiang frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

"No. Boss Sun, you've misunderstood!" Liu Bei waved his hand, looked at all the villagers, and said:

"I didn't kill this white python."

"According to the rules in the mountains, this white python belongs to the village collective."

"Therefore, I plan to distribute this five thousand yuan to the entire village according to the number of households."

"..."

A deathly silence fell.

"What?!"

"Distribute it to the whole village?!"

"Is there something wrong with my ears?"

Instantly, the whole village was in an uproar.

Zhao Da'e abruptly turned to look at her son, opened her mouth, but only managed to utter two words: "You...you..."

Lin Wanqiu looked up, her face full of disbelief.

Zhao Chunyan released Su Yuehe's wrist. She stared at Liu Bei's face, thinking she had misheard.

Su Yuehe's mouth opened into a large "O" shape.

Liu Bei looked at Fan Sanyuan: "Secretary Fan, you be a witness."

"Huh? Me?"

Fan Sanyuan pointed to himself and froze.

That's five thousand yuan!

Liu Bei actually wants to be separated.

He had been the village party secretary for so many years, and he had seen shrewd people and stingy people, but he had never seen anyone with such courage and determination.

"Alright!" Fan Sanyuan nodded: "I'll be the witness! Xiao Bei, you've got guts, I, Fan Sanyuan, admire you!"

"he……"

Ai Changhe looked at Liu Bei with even more admiration.

"Give Xiao Hei to him, that's the right thing to do. Absolutely the right thing to do!"

Sun Changjiang was stunned for a long time before finally giving Liu Bei a thumbs up.

"Comrade Liu Bei has a great vision!"

After saying that, he took out a thick wad of ten-yuan bills from his satchel, counted out five thousand yuan, and handed it to Liu Bei.

For a moment, everyone in the village held their breath, their eyes fixed on the stack of money.

Liu Bei stuffed the money into Fan Sanyuan's hand.

"Secretary, the money is here. Distribute it among the households."

"good!"

Soon, Fan Sanyuan called the village accountant and distributed the five thousand yuan to the 175 households in Fanjiacun Village, with each household receiving twenty-eight yuan and fifty cents.

"Xiao Bei, thank you!"

"Yes, thank you!"

"From now on, I'll respect no one but you!"

"Yes, I only admire Xiao Bei!"

……

The villagers expressed their excitement one after another.

Liu Bei smiled, his gaze falling on the carcass of the black female bear.
