Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Chapter 204 This man is so handsome

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.

Liu Bei, Old Tan and his son, and Li Dazhuang and several others ran over together.

"Xiao Bei is back?" Zhao Da'e smiled broadly as she saw her son appear.

"Liu Bei!"

Lin Wanqiu was the first to run over. She reached out to take Liu Bei's hand, but considering the current situation, she decided against it. "It's good that you're back safe and sound!"

"Liu Bei, you're back!" Su Yuehe greeted him as well.

"Daddy~"

The second daughter, Liu Nian, ran over and pounced on him, only to be picked up by Liu Bei.

"I want a hug too!" Liu Bao, the son, grabbed Liu Bei's leg and swayed affectionately.

"Okay, okay. I'll hug you both!" Liu Bei had no choice but to pick up his son as well.

"Dad!" The eldest daughter, Panpan, looked up and called out with a smile.

"Hmm!" Liu Bei smiled slightly and looked at his mother.

"Mother, I'm back!"

"It's good that he's back, it's good that he's back!" Her son had been gone for three days. During those three days, Zhao Da'e didn't seem worried on the surface, but she was more anxious than anyone else inside.

Now that her son has returned safely, the heavy weight in her heart has been lifted.

"Spring Swallow, I—"

"You're back? I saw you!" Zhao Chunyan's words immediately shut Liu Bei down.

Liu Bei: "..."

What's wrong with Zhao Chunyan today?

Did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you so arrogant?

However, he didn't hold it against Zhao Chunyan.

They walked towards the village party secretary, Fan Sanyuan.

"Xiao Bei is back!"

The two brothers, Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang, took the initiative to greet each other.

"Brother Xiao Bei!"

……

Immediately afterwards, the fourteen strong men from the village who had once gone hunting with Liu Bei in the mountains also greeted him in unison.

With their shout,

More and more able-bodied men in the village echoed his sentiments.

Seeing how much prestige her husband had in the village,

Lin Wanqiu was overjoyed.

This man is becoming more and more successful.

"He...he looks so handsome today!" Su Yuehe thought to herself with delight.

"My son is truly accomplished!" Zhao Da'e was increasingly pleased as she looked at him.

"Hmph! Getting cocky after a little success? Watch out, you might fall!" Zhao Chunyan rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the crowd,

As Fan Xibei watched Liu Bei walk by, and more and more villagers respected and admired him, his expression grew increasingly grim, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.

Liu Bei was unaware of all this. He continued walking forward and soon arrived in front of the village party secretary, Fan Sanyuan.

"Xiao Bei, why did you stop me just now?" Fan Sanyuan asked in a very polite tone.

"Secretary, it's 1981 now! The country has long ago explicitly banned and rejected feudal dross!"

"Clan rules must be subject to the law. The death penalty should no longer be used!"

"Besides, nothing stays hidden forever. If you really use the clan rules to drown them both in a pig cage today, it won't be long before the police hear about it!"

"When the police come to arrest you for abusing their power, they'll take you and the brothers on the bamboo raft into jail together. Then you and they'll all be sentenced to death by the state!"

Do you think it's worth it?

"..."

As soon as this word comes out,

The audience was silent.

The expressions on the faces of countless villagers suddenly became complicated.

Soon, people began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

The two brothers, Fan Daqiang and Fan Dayong, exchanged glances and looked at the village secretary in unison. "Dad, I think Brother Xiaobei makes a lot of sense. It's better to be cautious about this."

Fan Daqiang chimed in, "Dad, it's better to be safe than sorry. This is no joke. You should think it over carefully!"

"Yes, Brother Xiao Bei is right. Secretary, how about... how about we listen to Brother Xiao Bei?"

"That's right, listen to Brother Xiao Bei. He's a very fair person and does things justly. You can't go wrong by listening to him!"

"Yes, I agree! We'll listen to Brother Xiao Bei!"

……

In an instant, led by the fourteen strong men, more and more villagers joined in.

Seeing more and more villagers supporting their son,

Zhao Da'e's smile became even brighter.

"My son's really doing well now! Our ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke!"

As Lin Wanqiu watched Liu Bei's retreating figure, the more she looked, the happier she felt. "I made the right choice to divorce him but not separate from him!"

Su Yuehe's eyes lit up. "Liu Bei... he's so awesome!"

"This guy, he better not get too cocky. The higher he flies, the higher he falls! Humph!!!" Zhao Chunyan still wouldn't let it go.

"Damn it! That bastard's prestige has increased again..." Fan Xibei gritted his teeth, clenching them tighter and tighter, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

at the same time,

Village Party Secretary Fan Sanyuan glanced at the commotioning villagers.

He realized that the name Liu Bei had already taken root in the hearts of the villagers of Fanjiacun.

Among the younger generation, Liu Bei is the most outstanding.

But his two sons just happened to be—

He glanced at Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang out of the corner of his eye.

Fan Sanyuan knew that his two sons couldn't defeat Liu Beidou.

Since that's the case, we might as well go with the flow.

"Xiao Bei, you're right!"

"I definitely didn't consider this carefully!"

"When I heard that Fan Shaobo and Zhang Xiuhua were having an affair and doing something shameful, I got really angry!"

"I was just worried that if this matter wasn't handled properly, word would get out and people from the surrounding villages would laugh at us!"

"From now on, if people from our village go out and walk on the street, they'll be laughed at and looked down upon!"

"I didn't even consider any legal aspects! It was my carelessness!"

"Thanks to Xiao Bei, you came back in time and stopped them in time. Otherwise, if those two had really drowned in the pig cage, I, an old man, would have just been arrested!"

"But those four are still young! It would be such a waste for them to be arrested along with an old man like me and executed by the state!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say, Xiao Bei!"

"Do whatever you say you'll do!"

As soon as this word comes out,

The villagers all quieted down.

All eyes turned to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei paused, then looked at Zhang Xiuhua and Fan Shaobo.

Zhang Xiuhua remained with her eyes closed, awaiting death.

Only her death can atone for her sins.

Fan Shaobo thought he was doomed, but when he heard Liu Bei stop him, he was overjoyed and looked at Liu Bei expectantly.

He cried out at the top of his lungs, "Xiao Bei, save me! Save me!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei withdrew his gaze.
