Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Everyone turned to look.

Upon seeing the proportions of the fat woman and the middle-aged man selling steamed cakes, everyone's eyes widened in astonishment.

That steamed cake vendor has a really good eye!

They were all amazed.

Zhou Jianguo was stunned for a moment. After a brief moment of shock, he scolded, "In broad daylight, you dare to assault a woman in public? You have some nerve!"

"Zhou... Zhou, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. I... I didn't sit on her stomach, she... she made me sit on her stomach."

"Is that so?" Zhou Jianguo looked at the fat woman.

"Waaah~" The fat woman immediately burst into tears, sobs streaming down her face. "I admit I'm fat. But even if I'm fat, I'm still a virtuous and respectable woman. How could I do such a thing? Officer Zhou, he's tarnishing my reputation! If you don't arrest him, I... I'll have no face to show anyone, I won't be able to live..."

As she cried, the fat woman struggled to get up, sobbing and shouting, "Nobody believes me... I... I don't want to live anymore, let me die..."

"Clang!"

With a flick of her hand, the middle-aged man selling steamed cakes tumbled to the side.

The fat woman slowly got up, went to the stall, and reached for the oil in the pan.

"What?"

"Stop her! We can't let her do something like this!"

Zhou Jianguo immediately became anxious.

"Whoosh~"

Liu Bei reacted the fastest, rushing forward to grab the fat woman's wrist and pulling her away.

"Big sister, don't be impulsive!"

"Let me go. Let me die. Let me die! Otherwise, I... I can't live anymore... Waaah..."

The fat woman's crying grew louder.

The tears fell even more heavily.

"Director Zhou, I believe that woman. It must have been that man selling steamed cakes who bullied her first!" a girl said.

"Yes, I believe that girl too. Chief Zhou, arrest that man selling steamed cakes right now!"

"That's right, arrest that steamed cake vendor. This is outrageous! How dare he harass an innocent woman in broad daylight? Is there no law anymore? This kind of person should be torn to pieces!"

"Arrest him!"

"Arrest him!"

"Arrest him!"

……

Instantly, more and more people around her began to support the overweight woman, cheering her on and encouraging her.

"You...you all..."

The middle-aged man selling steamed cakes was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"Pfft~"

After a few seconds of anger, he immediately vomited blood and fainted on the ground.

"..."

Everyone fell silent immediately.

Zhou Jianguo frowned. "Don't worry, everyone, I'll take him away! We absolutely will not tolerate hooligans in Da Liu Town!"

"Slap slap~"

Upon hearing this, the people around him burst into applause.

"Also, I just tried the grasshoppers that Comrade Liu Bei's family made. They were really delicious! If you're interested, you can buy some to take home and try! They're a great snack to have with your drinks!"

Zhou Jianguo smiled at Liu Bei, then took out handcuffs and cuffed them to the wrists of the middle-aged man selling steamed cakes. He pulled the man up and said, "Comrade Liu Bei, I have to go back to the station now. Contact me anytime if needed!"

"Alright! Take care, Director Zhou!"

"Get back to what you're doing!" Zhou Jianguo waved his hand and tugged at the middle-aged man selling steamed cakes. "Stop pretending. I've been arresting people for over a decade. You think you can fool me with your little tricks? No way!"

The middle-aged man selling steamed rice cakes: "..."

He slowly opened his eyes and explained, "Director Zhou, you've misunderstood. I really didn't say anything to the fat woman just now—"

"If you come with me now, I'll only detain you for a month. If you don't come, the detention period will be postponed by half a month!"

"..."

"Can we go now?"

"Hmm." The middle-aged man selling steamed cakes had no choice but to comply.

……

Before long, Zhou Jianguo and the middle-aged man selling steamed cakes disappeared from sight.

"Slap slap~"

Just then, the man in the Zhongshan suit walked over, clapping and shouting loudly as he went.

"Comrades from the machine factory, did you hear that? I didn't lie to you, did I? I told you long ago that Comrade Liu Bei wouldn't kill anyone. You still didn't believe me? Now, Chief Zhou is personally testifying. Don't you still believe me?"

"Well... I believe you, of course I believe you!"

The workers at the machine factory lowered their heads in shame.

"Since you believe Comrade Liu Bei isn't a murderer, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and buy some grasshoppers! If you don't buy them now, they'll all be sold out, and you won't be able to buy any more!"

Upon hearing this, the workers at the machine factory immediately realized what was going on.

More than an hour earlier, they ran out to buy grasshoppers on the recommendation of the man in the Zhongshan suit.

Before they had even finished buying the items, they saw Liu Bei dragging a bloodied man with short legs toward the police station.

After learning that Liu Bei was the stall owner, they all thought the man in the Zhongshan suit was making unfounded recommendations.

They almost got themselves into trouble.

So they all changed their minds and stopped buying grasshoppers.

The misunderstanding is now cleared up.

The grasshoppers are in limited supply; if you don't buy them now, they'll be gone in a little while.

"Miss Lin, give me a bottle of grasshopper sauce!"

"Miss Zhao, give me three catties of salt and pepper grasshoppers!"

"Miss Su, I'd like two jin of fried food!"

……

The workers at the machine factory rushed to buy them.

Seeing them rush to buy, passersby also curiously joined in to sample the products.

Everyone who tasted it praised it highly and joined the ranks of those buying it.

Half an hour later.

All the grasshoppers on the stall were snatched up.

Some passersby who missed out regretted that they were too slow to react and missed out.

"Comrade Liu Bei, are you coming to sell again tomorrow?"

"Yes. Will you still be selling them tomorrow?"

"Sell! Of course I'll sell!" Liu Bei's eyes lit up. "If you really want to buy, how about this—"

Liu Bei tore the cardboard sign off piece by piece, then took out a pencil and wrote a line on it:

"Liu Lin Zhao Su's grasshopper. Number 1, this is yours. Hold on tight. Don't drop it. Come tomorrow morning, it'll be the first one sold to you!"

"Okay! I'll definitely be the first one here tomorrow!"

"What about us? What about us?"

"Don't rush, there are plenty, there are plenty!" Liu Bei wrote down each sheet one by one, then distributed them one by one.

Continue dealing until all the cards are dealt.

Watching the potential customers leave satisfied,

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

"How many have you sold today?"

"Fifty yuan!" Zhao Chunyan counted the money, extremely excited.

"How much?...Fifty? Fifty a day, that's... " Su Yuehe counted on her fingers and exclaimed, "That's 1500 a month?!

"Yes, it's 1500." Zhao Chunyan nodded with a smile.

"My God! 1500, that many?" Su Yuehe's eyes sparkled.

Lin Wanqiu remained silent.

Seeing Zhao Chunyan and Su Yuehe's happy expressions, Liu Bei looked at Lin Wanqiu and asked, "Wanqiu, why aren't you smiling? You made fifty yuan, aren't you happy?"

"Happy!" Lin Wanqiu nodded slightly.

"Then why don't you smile? Look how beautiful Chunyan and Yuehe look when they smile!" Liu Bei asked, puzzled.

"Liu Bei, you just said the grasshopper is called Liu Lin Zhao Su's Grasshopper, right?"

Lin Wanqiu stared intently at Liu Bei and asked.

As soon as this word comes out,

The excited Zhao Chunyan and Su Yuehe immediately fell silent, their eyes both fixed on Liu Bei...
