Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Yes, Liu Bei, he's the village party secretary, why won't you agree?" Su Yuehe was also puzzled.

"Hmph! Coward!" Zhao Chunyan rolled her eyes and snorted coldly.

Liu Bei: "..."

"Xiao Bei, this village belongs to the Fan family. For outsiders like us, it's already a miracle that we've been able to settle down here. Becoming the village secretary is something our parents and our generation never even dared to dream of. Now, an opportunity is presented to you, so why don't you accept it? Can you tell me?"

Old Tan was very curious.

As someone who was also an outsider, he knew all too well how difficult it was for outsiders to establish themselves in someone else's village.

As soon as this word comes out,

Everyone was staring at Liu Bei.

Especially Zhao Da'e, as a mother,

My greatest hope in life is to see my son succeed.

Given the opportunity to become the village party secretary, she naturally hoped that her son could also become one.

"Late Autumn, why don't you ask me?" Liu Bei looked over curiously.

"I... well..." Lin Wanqiu smiled. "You're the head of the household. I just need to listen to you! I don't need to think about anything else!"

Liu Bei: "..."

She truly deserves to be called the most virtuous and understanding woman among her three ex-wives.

In that instant, Liu Bei felt even more indebted to Lin Wanqiu.

No, I have to make it up to you properly tonight.

"It's actually very simple!" Liu Bei narrowed his eyes. "There's only one emperor's throne. Aren't there many people who want to sit on it?"

"Does that even need to be said? Of course there's plenty more!"

"Since there are so many people, will there be bloodshed in the fight for that position?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Definitely!"

"Since there will be bloodshed, it's impossible to say for sure who will ultimately sit on the throne," Liu Bei said, raising an eyebrow. "Besides, throughout history, how many people have lurked in the shadows, vying for the emperor's position?"

"I understand!" Old Tan exclaimed suddenly. "Xiao Bei, are you worried that someone might stab you in the back?"

"Hmm!" Liu Bei nodded. "It's always good to be cautious. Besides, can you be sure Fan Sanyuan really wants to step down? Maybe he's just testing me. Don't forget he has two sons!"

"That makes sense. It's better to be safe than sorry. It's always good to be cautious. Xiao Bei did the right thing! I've learned my lesson!" Old Tan suddenly realized, nudging Tan Si's arm. "Xiao Si, you should learn more from Xiao Bei in the future!"

"Yes, Dad! I will!"

"I also want to learn from Brother Bei!" Li Dazhuang had certainly broadened his horizons.

"We're all on the same side, we can get to know each other better later. It's getting late, you've all been working hard for three days, let's go home!"

"Um!"

……

No sooner had Liu Bei and his men left than Fan Xibei, who was standing not far away, watched his retreating figure and revealed a cold glint in his eyes.

"Is my uncle getting senile?"

"That Liu Bei guy ruined me so badly, and they still want him to be the village party secretary?"

"If Liu Bei really becomes the village party secretary, will I still have a place to live in the village?"

"No. We absolutely cannot let that brat Liu Bei become the village party secretary. I have to do something! Yes, I must do something!"

Gritting his teeth and narrowing his eyes, Fan Xibei turned and walked in another direction.

……

On this side, after Old Tan and his son, along with Li Dazhuang, separated from Liu Bei's family, Zhao Da'e finally had a chance to speak.

"Xiao Bei, your father's grave isn't far ahead. Why don't you go and see him first?"

"Okay."

Since his rebirth, Liu Bei has never paid respects to his father.

Since his mother had brought it up and it was on his way, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

After a while,

The family arrived at the three graves.

Two of the graves looked quite old, with weeds growing on them. The tombstones were half-buried in soil and weeds, and only the top half was visible, the bottom half was illegible.

Other than that,

Below the two old graves is a relatively new grave mound.

There were very few weeds.

The grave mound was also very high.

There is no monument yet.

The two old graves were those of Liu Bei's grandfather and grandmother.

The new grave is his father's grave.

According to custom, if the father has passed away but the mother is still alive, there is no need to rush to erect a tombstone. It should be erected after the mother passes away and is buried together with the father.

Looking at the three long-unseen graves,

Liu Bei knelt down on the ground with a thud.

When Panpan saw her father kneel down, she immediately knelt down as well.

Seeing that their eldest sister had knelt down, the youngest daughter, Liu Nian, and her son, Liu Bao, followed suit and knelt down as well.

Lin Wanqiu, Su Yuehe, and Zhao Chunyan looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then knelt down in unison.

Only Zhao Da'e remained standing.

"Father! Your unfilial son, Liu Bei, has come to see you! I kowtow to you first!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The voice just fell,

Liu Bei immediately kowtowed three times to his father.

Each one of them was performed with great sincerity and with a firm, resolute touch.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The three children imitated him quite well.

"Grandpa, we've kowtowed to you!"

"Father, we've kowtowed to you too!"

Watching his son, daughter-in-law, and three grandsons kowtow to the man,

Zhao Da'e's eyes reddened instantly, and tears welled up in them.

"Bei'er, talk to your father!"

"Hmm!" Liu Bei raised his head, looking at his father's grave, and behind it, his grandparents' old graves.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad. Today, Mom and I, along with your granddaughter-in-law and grandchildren, have come to visit you!"

"I just came back from outside and didn't have time to bring any wine, nor did I have time to buy you paper money and incense. I hope you won't be angry with me!"

"But don't worry, I'll definitely bring it next time!"

"When the time comes, I'll not only buy you big houses, cars, and boats, but also tons and tons of gold bars. Yes, gold bars, not paper money. Paper money depreciates. Only gold retains its value!"

"After we burn the offerings for you, you can play cards and have fun over there without worrying about money!"

"You silly child. Don't just talk about money and gold. Talk about something else!" Hearing this, Zhao Da'e shook her head.

"Oh, anything else... Oh, I've got it..."

Liu Bei turned around and pulled his eldest daughter, youngest daughter, and son to the front.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, do you see this? This is your great-granddaughter, she is your second great-granddaughter, and he is your great-grandson."

"Our Liu family line has a worthy successor! Your bloodline has not only not been broken, but it is growing stronger and stronger!"

"That's not all, I assure you here. It won't be long—"

After a pause, Liu Bei glanced at his three ex-wives.

"It won't be long before our Liu family has even more descendants. Our population will only continue to grow."

"With a large and prosperous family, our Liu family's life will only get better and better!"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

Is Liu Bei planning to have more children with me?

They haven't even remarried yet, how can they have a baby?

Uh, no, what he said also included Zhao Chunyan and Su Yuehe.

Does this guy want the three of us to keep having his babies?

He's incredibly bold!

Aren't you afraid of being reported?

Su Yuehe: "..."

A thriving family?

It means having more children.

But we're both divorced, so how can we have a child?

Uh, no, that's not right.

No wonder Sister Wanqiu and Liu Bei were doing *that* next door the other night.

Did Sister Wanqiu and Liu Bei agree from that time onwards to have more children for the Liu family?

If so, does that mean Zhao Chunyan also did *that* with Liu Bei?

Su Yuehe's heart started racing.

At this moment, Zhao Chunyan, who was standing next to her, raised her eyebrows.

Will we have children together?

You, Liu Bei, actually came up with this idea?

That's quite an appetite. Do you think you're a competitive eater?

Eating so much, aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach?

You want me to have more kids for you, huh?

Fine, you just wait and see. I'll see just how many babies you can have.
