Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Mother, I also want them to get pregnant soon."

Liu Bei glanced towards the door, making sure the three women weren't near the kitchen door, before continuing, "But look at our house! There's barely enough room for the three kids right now. Where will we put three more? On the floor?"

"this……"

Zhao Da'e turned her head and looked around the kitchen. A large piece of mud plaster had peeled off the corner of the wall, and a wooden board was still placed on the roof beam to prevent leaks.

The only big part of the house is the yard; the room itself is a bit cramped.

"You're right," Zhao Da'e sighed. "When will the new house be built?"

"It'll be soon. As soon as the land use permit is approved, we can start construction. Once the new houses are all built, I guarantee you'll be holding your grandson until your arms ache."

"Your hand is sore?" Zhao Da'e's eyes lit up, and she slapped Liu Bei on the back of the head. "You really dare to say that. Fine, I'll wait a little longer. But remember this: by the end of the year at the latest—"

"Definitely, definitely."

"That's more like it." Zhao Da'e nodded in satisfaction and turned to serve the rice.

"Phew~"

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking to myself:

By the end of the year... it should be enough time, right?

……

More than half an hour later, just after Liu Bei's family finished breakfast, a shout came from outside.

"Brother Bei! Brother Bei!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fan Ha'er rushed in.

"What's all the fuss about so early in the morning?" Liu Bei wiped his mouth and stood up.

Fan Ha'er pulled Liu Bei aside and whispered, "Brother Bei, guess what I found out after we parted ways last night?"

"If you can't guess, just tell me."

"Hehe!" Fan Ha'er rubbed his hands together. "I discovered that Fan Xibei and his wife were fighting!"

"Another fight?" Liu Bei raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm." Fan Ha'er nodded. "His wife, Li Xiulan, scolded him for being useless, and then kicked him in a certain place."

As he spoke, Fan Ha'er's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Liu Bei's crotch.

"Whoosh~"

Liu Bei instinctively took a step back.

"What are you looking at? Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up!"

"I was just gesturing out the location!"

Fan Ha'er smiled, explained briefly, and continued:

"I sneaked over to check on him early this morning, and Fan Xibei was still lying on the ground, not getting up yet! His face was as white as paper. I reckon it won't be better for at least two or three days."

Liu Bei: "..."

"You went there on purpose to sneak over and take a look?"

"yes!"

"When did you go?"

"We went before dawn! We were afraid we'd miss it if we went too late."

"..."

Liu Bei stared at Fan Ha'er for three seconds.

This kid's obsession with spying is getting worse and worse.

If this isn't addressed soon, something serious will happen sooner or later.

However, Fan Xibei deserved it.

If you can't do it, don't try to be a hero.

He's bad at cooking, but has a huge addiction.

Well, now he's been kicked right in the face by his own wife; at least he'll learn his lesson.

"Alright, don't go around telling everyone about this."

"I know, I'm only telling you!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate.

Fan Shuanzhu, Old Man Tan, Li Dazhuang, and Tan Si filed in, greeting Liu Bei one by one.

"Xiao Bei, you worked hard last night!"

"Brother Bei, are you rested enough?"

"good."

Liu Bei responded to each of them and was about to invite them to sit down and have some water when another person walked in from behind.

"Manager Fan?"

Upon recognizing Fan Erhe, Liu Bei was somewhat surprised: "What brings you here today?"

"Alas, this evil wind!" Fan Erhe shook his head, looking somewhat worried.

"Evil wind? What do you mean?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"Brother Xiao Bei, to be honest, things have gotten messy again at our forest farm lately. Several saplings have been damaged in the last couple of days. When do you have some free time to go over and help me deal with those beasts?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment, "I was busy all day and all night yesterday, and I still haven't recovered. How about tomorrow?"

"tomorrow?"

"Yes. I want to spend time with my family today."

Just as Fan Erhe was about to nod, his gaze inadvertently swept across the courtyard.

Lin Wanqiu, wearing a newly made floral dress, stood by the well and washed her hands.

Not far away, Su Yuehe also put on a new dress, which accentuated her shapely figure.

On the other side, Zhao Chunyan stood with her hands on her hips scolding Xiaobao. Her new clothes accentuated her slender waist and tall figure, making her look incredibly beautiful.

Soon, Fan Erhe withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Bei.

"Brother Xiao Bei, you're so lucky! Your three wives are all stunningly beautiful. It's a good thing you're a little tired. We're so envious!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Fan Erhe continued, "Of course, I completely understand that you can't go today. Tomorrow is fine, just rest well today. We'll go to town later to buy some tonics, and your three sisters-in-law will make you some nourishing soup. Get plenty of rest so you'll have the energy to hunt tomorrow!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Fan Erhe has misunderstood.

He hurriedly explained,

"No... Director Fan, you've misunderstood! The tiredness I was referring to was from hunting in the mountains yesterday, not..."

"I understand, I understand. We're all men, after all. Don't be shy. We all understand."

"You should rest well today! See you at the forest farm tomorrow!"

"..."

Liu Bei was speechless.

You know nothing!

The three of us really didn't do anything last night!

"Hehe~"

An ambiguous smile appeared on Old Man Tan's face as he stroked his beard and walked away.

Hehe~

Li Dazhuang grinned and followed him out.

"Brother Bei, you're awesome!"

After giving a thumbs-up, Tan Si also chased after him.

Suddenly, only Fan Ha'er and his father Fan Shuanzhu remained.

Fan Ha'er looked bewildered: "Brother Bei, what did Fan Erhe mean just now?"

"It's meaningless."

"Then why did he tell you to buy some supplements? What did you do last night to need to replenish your body?"

"Could you be injured? If so, you should go to the clinic to get it checked out. Just in case it causes any problems and affects your ability to fight with your wives in the future—"

"Shut up!"

After hearing these words, Liu Bei's forehead was covered in black lines.

After hearing his son's words, Fan Shuanzhu, who was standing to the side, was also extremely embarrassed. He immediately grabbed Fan Ha'er and pulled him outside, saying, "Come on, come on, don't embarrass yourself here!"

"Father, I haven't finished speaking yet—"

"Shut up! Go home!"

Soon after, the father and son disappeared from sight.

Liu Bei: "..."

He had a big head and rubbed his temples.

These guys... what's going on in their heads?

"What did they say to you?"

Just then, Zhao Chunyan and Lin Wanqiu walked over together.

"He didn't say anything. It's just that Fan Erhe's forest farm has been ravaged by game again, and he asked me to go to the forest farm to help hunt some game. I said I just want to stay home with you guys today and don't want to go. If I'm going, it'll be tomorrow."

Liu Bei explained.

"What? You're staying home with us today?" Zhao Chunyan's eyes lit up.

"Hmm. Since it's still early, let's go to town and set up a stall to sell spicy shrimp."

"You said it! You can't go back on your word!"

After saying that, Zhao Chunyan immediately ran over and pushed the bicycle over, and also picked up a basket of spicy shrimp.

"I'll ride my bike to town first to reserve a stall! You guys hurry up and follow!"

"Chunyan, wait a minute—"

However, before Lin Wanqiu could stop her, Zhao Chunyan had already carried her bicycle over the threshold, plopped down on it, and with a push of her long legs, she shot off.

"Whoosh~"

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Chunyan's figure disappeared in front of her.

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

Su Yuehe was stunned for a moment, "Sister Chunyan...you run so fast!"

"She's afraid you and I will fight her for the bicycle!"

Lin Wanqiu shook her head helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei smiled.

This Zhao Chunyan, it's just a bicycle, isn't it?

She was afraid someone else would get there first and she wouldn't be able to ride it.

"Mother!" Liu Beichong called from the kitchen, "Please watch the three children for me. I'm taking Wanqiu and Yuehe to town!"

"Okay. Go ahead!"

Zhao Da'e came out carrying the baby, and added, "Oh, by the way, while you're at it, go to town and buy some pork ribs. I'll make you a nourishing soup tonight!"

"Um?"

Liu Bei suddenly stopped.

Tonify...to nourish the body?

He suddenly turned around and glanced at Zhao Da'e.

Zhao Da'e waved to him with a smile on her face.

"Okay... alright!"

Liu Bei had no choice but to nod and then went to move the things.

Soon, the pedicab was piled high with fried grasshoppers and the remaining spicy shrimp.

Lin Wanqiu sat on the left, and Su Yuehe sat on the right.

"Late Autumn, Spring Swallow, buckle up, we're about to set off!"

"Okay. Hold on tight!"

"Heading to town! Off to sell crayfish!"

"And there are grasshoppers too!"

"Yes, yes, and grasshoppers too. Let's go sell fried grasshoppers and spicy shrimp!"

……

Watching his son drive away with his two daughters-in-law,

Zhao Da'e laughed.

"That's right. With husband and wife working together, what obstacle can't we overcome? The four of you should communicate more, the deeper the better..."
