Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

I enjoyed the meal very much.

To celebrate, Zhao Da'e and Liu Bei drank a few extra glasses of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

When the party finally ended, Zhao Da'e and Liu Bei, mother and son, were both so drunk that they were slumped over the table.

"This guy can't even outdrink his mother. If he's not feeling well, he shouldn't be drinking. Now look at him, completely drunk, we have to help him to bed. Honestly!"

Zhao Chunyan and Lin Wanqiu helped Liu Bei into the house, grumbling as they did so.

Lin Wanqiu said, "If you think he's not good enough, then don't leave any loopholes for him in the future!"

"Lin Wanqiu, what nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by leaving a gap? Have I ever left one?" Zhao Chunyan became agitated upon hearing this.

"No?" Lin Wanqiu sneered. "Do you dare swear to God that you didn't keep any? Otherwise, if you get pregnant later, may your son be born without an anus!"

"I...I..." Zhao Chunyan choked and didn't know how to refute.

"What? You're scared?" Lin Wanqiu scoffed. "Hypocrite!"

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

I'm so angry I feel like my heart is about to explode.

Damn Lin Wanqiu, you just wait.

Don't let me catch you red-handed, or I'll make you regret it.

"Bang!"

While Zhao Chunyan was pondering this, Liu Bei was laid down on the bed.

"Let's go. What are you still standing there for? You don't want to stay, do you? Be careful you don't give birth to a baby without an anus!"

"You..." Zhao Chunyan said angrily, then turned and left.

"Hmph! Hypocritical!"

Lin Wanqiu's lips curled up slightly as she glanced back at Liu Bei. "Don't drink so much next time. Too much alcohol is bad for your health. Remember that! Get some rest. You still need to go talk to Old Wang in the next village about building a house tomorrow."

After giving her some instructions, Lin Wanqiu also left the room.

"Bang!"

The door closed.

Liu Bei immediately opened his eyes. "They're really gone? Didn't anyone stay to keep me company? Sigh..."

With a sigh, Liu Bei had no choice but to close his eyes and go to sleep.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

"Woof woof~"

Suddenly, the sound of dogs barking rang out in the yard.

"Um?"

Liu Bei suddenly opened his eyes and listened carefully.

"Woof woof~"

"Woof woof~"

……

The barking of dogs outside grew louder and louder.

"Something's wrong! There's something going on outside!"

Liu Bei jumped out of bed in a flash, not even having time to put on his shoes, and ran out into the yard after opening the door.

yard.

A person with their face covered is struggling desperately.

While struggling, he also kicked the dog that was biting his right leg with one foot.

"You damn dog, let go of my mouth! Let go now! If you don't, I... I'll beat you to death!"

The masked man threatened as he moved toward the wall.

But every time he moved a step, the dog pulled him back a step.

Back and forth.

After struggling for a while, he finally moved to the edge of the courtyard wall.

Then he saw a stick, and his eyes lit up.

"You wretched dog, you forced my hand! Don't blame me for being ruthless when we get there!"

The masked man grabbed the stick and smashed it down on the black dog without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the stick struck the top of the black dog's head. If it had struck just an inch lower, the black dog's head would have cracked open and started bleeding.

But even so,

The black dog still wouldn't give in.

It still clung tightly to the masked man's leg, refusing to let him leave.

"Go to hell, you worthless dog!"

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, a stick struck the masked man on the back of the head from behind.

"Who? Who hit me?"

The masked man turned around and his pupils constricted sharply. "It's you, Zhao Chunyan—"

With a thud, the masked man staggered and fell to the ground.

"Xiao Hei, are you alright?"

After dropping the stick she was holding, Zhao Chunyan rushed over to check on Xiao Hei.

After helping Liu Bei into the room to rest, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly heard a noise outside.

I initially thought it was just a mouse looking for food and didn't pay much attention.

But soon after, several more barks of dogs could be heard outside.

At that time, she realized that it was not just about rats, so she became suspicious and decided to get up and go out to take a look.

After she quietly slipped out into the yard,

Just as she expected,

My house has really been burgled.

The thief was clearly trying to leave, but Xiao Hei spotted him and held on tightly, preventing him from escaping.

Unable to escape, the thief flew into a rage and decided to kill Xiao Hei, grabbing a stick to beat him to death.

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhao Chunyan immediately grabbed a stick and rushed over to knock the thief unconscious.

"Woof woof~ woof woof~"

Seeing that Zhao Chunyan had knocked out the masked man, Xiao Hei barked a few times and lay down, panting heavily as he did so.

"What happened?"

Just then, Liu Bei arrived.

"Our house has been burgled. It's this guy," Zhao Chunyan explained, pointing to the masked man who had fainted beside her. "Thanks to Xiao Hei, otherwise, this guy would have gotten away."

"Good job, Little Black. Well done!" After understanding the situation, Liu Bei patted Little Black. "Are you alright?"

"Woof woof~" Little Black shook its head and barked a few times.

"It's good that you're alright! Did your wounds reopen?" Liu Bei squatted down and carefully checked them. "Hmm. Luckily, they didn't reopen. It seems you're recovering quite well! You need to rest more. If something like this happens again, don't push yourself; it's too dangerous. Staying alive is the most important thing. Remember that?"

Liu Bei patted Xiao Hei's head a few more times.

"Woof woof~"

Little Black barked a few times and nudged its little head toward Liu Bei, as if it were responding to him.

"Chunyan, go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat. If there is, give Xiao Hei an extra meal!" Liu Bei instructed.

"Yes, there is!" Lin Wanqiu came out as soon as she finished speaking, having heard Liu Bei's words. "There's also meat; I'll go get it!"

"I'll carry Xiao Hei over!" Zhao Chunyan picked up Xiao Hei. "Xiao Hei, come on, let's go get some extra food!"

Watching Zhao Chunyan carry Xiao Hei away, Liu Bei felt very fortunate.

He never expected that just a few days after taking in Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei would do his family a great service by catching a thief.

Keep in mind that Xiao Hei's injuries haven't fully healed yet.

Even when threatened by masked thieves and in mortal danger, it remained tight-lipped, demonstrating its unwavering loyalty.

What a loyal and good dog!

It was worth it to take in Little Black.

"What happened to Xiao Bei (Liu Bei)? Why is it so noisy?"

Suddenly, Mother Zhao Da'e and Su Yuehe also came out.

"Mom, the house has been burgled."

"What? A thief? Where is he?" Zhao Da'e and Su Yuehe asked in unison.

"Isn't that him?" Liu Bei pointed to the masked man on the ground and briefly explained what had just happened.

"You damned thief! How dare you steal from my house! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

After Zhao Da'e ran over and took a look, she became furious and stomped hard on the masked man's stomach.

"Bang!"

"You bastard, you stole our things!"

"Bang!"

"You little bastard, how dare you bully my little black dog!"

"Bang!"

"So what if you're a thief? Why are you covering your face, you bastard? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Pfft~"

Just as Zhao Da'e was about to deliver her third kick, the masked man suddenly woke up and immediately vomited a bunch of sour stuff.

"Bang!" Zhao Da'e, smelling the unpleasant odor, angrily pinched her nose and stomped down again.

"You bastard, spitting filth everywhere!"

"..."

"Mom, stop stepping on him! If you keep doing that, he'll die. Stop! Let me see who he is!"
