Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

The county town, the prince's mansion.

Wang Fei was drinking tea.

Suddenly, the butler rushed in, his forehead covered in sweat.

"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?" Wang Fei asked casually, sipping his fine tea.

"President, something...something's happened!" The butler hunched over, reporting tremblingly, "That person...made a mistake!"

"An accident?" Wang Fei's teacup stopped abruptly, his eyes narrowing into slits as he stared intently at the butler. "What do you mean?"

"According to reports from below, that man... he lost both his legs. He was caught by the police! And... and..."

"Snap!"

In a fit of rage, Wang Fei smashed the teacup on the ground, shattering it and spilling tea everywhere. Furious, he yelled, "What else? Speak!!!"

"And...and the assassination attempt was publicly announced by Zhou Jianguo, the director of the Da Liu Town Police Station!"

The butler bent his back even lower, not daring to look directly at Wang Feidan.

really.

As soon as this word comes out,

Wang Fei suddenly stood up and kicked the butler to the ground with a 'bang'.

"You can't even handle this simple task, what use are you?"

"Thump~"

Upon hearing this, the steward was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

"President... I know I failed in my duties. Please give me another chance. I... I will definitely get it right!"

"Fine. Get lost!" Wang Fei said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Chairman! Thank you, Chairman!" The butler felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He kowtowed three more times before daring to get up and leave in a hurry.

"Bang~ Bang~ Bang~"

Wang Fei grabbed several vases and smashed them on the ground one after another.

"Useless! They're all fucking useless!"

Listening to Wang Fei's roar,

The butler came out of the lobby, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liu Bei! I really underestimated you. Next time, you won't be so lucky! I swear!"

……

This side.

Liu Bei bought three candied hawthorns, tidied up his stall, and Zhao Chunyan rode her bicycle ahead of him.

Liu Bei then rode a pedicab carrying Lin Wanqiu and Su Yuehe towards Fanjia Village.

Just outside the town, they encountered Fan Shuanzhu driving a horse-drawn carriage.

Fan Ha'er and Chen Qiaolan were sitting in the carriage.

"Uncle Shuanzhu, Auntie, Ha'er, where are you going?"

Liu Bei stopped the car and greeted him.

"Your aunt is blind, so Ha'er and I will take her to the clinic to get checked out."

"Oh, we should take a look!" Liu Beichong glanced at Lin Wanqiu, and Lin Wanqiu nodded, took out twenty yuan, walked over, and stuffed it into Fan Ha'er's hand.

"Niece Wanqiu, what are you doing?"

Fan Shuanzhu looked puzzled.

"Uncle Shuanzhu, isn't your aunt going to see a doctor? Here's twenty yuan, it's just a small token of our appreciation. Please take it. If it's not enough, you can tell us when you get back to the village."

Lin Wanqiu offered an explanation.

"That won't do! Hey kid, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and return the money to your sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law, you should still have the money—"

"Hey, if you still consider me your sister-in-law, then take the money!"

"Sister-in-law, you—"

"Uncle Shuanzhu, if you still consider Liu Bei your nephew, and if you still want to hunt with Liu Bei in the future, and if you still want Ha'er to be brothers with Liu Bei, then keep this money!"

"My niece Wanqiu, you..." Upon hearing these words, Fan Shuanzhu choked up for a moment.

Since he borrowed a horse-drawn cart from the village to leave, the villagers along the way simply greeted him and offered a few words of concern.

Only two families have given money.

One of them was Old Tan, who gave him five yuan.

He didn't want it and returned it.

But Old Tan insisted on giving it to him, saying that if he didn't accept it, they shouldn't go hunting together in the mountains anymore.

There's also Liu Bei and Lin Wanqiu.

This time, they gave me twenty yuan.

These days, even those who work for the government in town only earn thirty or forty yuan a month.

He was very touched by the amount of twenty yuan.

"Alright. We'll accept the money. Wanqiu, Xiaobei, once your aunt's eyes are better, Ha'er and I will continue to go hunting with you in the mountains!"

"Okay. Uncle, Aunt, Ha'er, let's go to the district health center." Liu Bei smiled.

"Hmm!" Fan Shuanzhu drove the carriage toward the health center.

As Fan Ha'er passed by Liu Bei, he craned his neck and said, "Brother Bei, when I get back, let's go to Zhangjia Lake to catch fish again! We'll catch tons of fish. And while we're at it, we'll make Zhang Hu eat shit!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Lin Wanqiu and Su Yuehe both looked at Liu Bei.

"Liu Bei, what did Ha'er mean by what he just said?"

Lin Wanqiu was curious.

"Well, well... it's a long story. I'll tell you all about it on the way!"

……

Fanjiacun, Liujia.

When Liu Bei, Lin Wanqiu, and Su Yuehe returned, Zhao Chunyan had already arrived home.

After hearing from Zhao Chunyan that she had bought candied hawthorns, the three children had been waiting at the gate of the yard for a while.

As soon as they saw Liu Bei and his friends return, the three children couldn't wait to run over to them.

The youngest daughter, Liu Nian, tugged at Liu Bei's wrist and shook it, "Daddy, Auntie said you bought us candied hawthorns. Where are they? I want some!"

"Dad, I want to eat gourd too!" Xiao Bao tugged at Liu Bei's leg and swayed back and forth.

"She's with your aunt!" Liu Bei pointed at Lin Wanqiu.

"Panpan, come here!" Lin Wanqiu beckoned to Panpan and handed her three candied hawthorns. "Give these to your little sister and brother!"

"Okay, Mom!"

Panpan and her two siblings each took one candied hawthorn, and the three of them ran towards the village with their candied hawthorns.

"Where are you going?" Lin Wanqiu called out.

"I envy those guys who don't have candied hawthorns!"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

"Haha~"

Liu Bei laughed when he heard this.

"You can still laugh?" Zhao Chunyan rolled her eyes.

"Why can't you smile?" Liu Bei shrugged. "Today, our family was the only one in the village who bought candied hawthorns. The kids wanted to show off a little, is that not allowed?"

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

She glared angrily at Liu Bei. "Go ahead and spoil them. Spoil them as much as you want. Sooner or later, your son and your daughter will be spoiled rotten!"

"I'd like to. Is that not allowed?"

"..." Zhao Chunyan was speechless. "I can't be bothered with you. I'm going to take a shower. I'm warning you, don't you dare follow me and peep at me while I'm showering. Otherwise, I'll report you for indecent assault. You'll regret it!"

Liu Bei: "..."

He pinched his chin, his eyes scanning Zhao Chunyan from head to toe. "What part of you haven't I seen? Do I need to peek? Just use your brain!"

Su Yuehe: "..."

Oh dear, Liu Bei... how could he say such embarrassing things?

So embarrassing! Absolutely so embarrassing!

Immediately, Su Yuehe lowered her head, her face flushed red.

Lin Wanqiu was also stunned.

This guy's up to no good again.

However, I quite enjoy listening to him bicker with Chunyan.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunyan's cheeks puffed up with anger. She pointed at Liu Bei for a long while, her fury barely contained, and was about to erupt in anger...

A voice suddenly came.

"Is Xiao Bei back?"

"You're really back! Looks like I came at just the right time!"

Liu Bei turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

Then, village party secretary Fan Sanyuan came running over with a big smile.

"Secretary, is there something you need from me?"

"I've come to bring you good news!"

"Good news?" Upon hearing this, Liu Bei and the others exchanged glances and almost simultaneously blurted out, "What good news? What's the good news?"
