Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Oh right!" Zhao Da'e immediately stopped after hearing Liu Bei's words. "How could I have forgotten about this? Quickly, pull off the black cloth and take a look!"

"Sizzle~"

Liu Bei deftly ripped off the black cloth covering the masked man's face.

"Mother, he...he's not..."

After seeing the masked man's face clearly, Su Yuehe was filled with surprise.

"How could it be him?"

Zhao Da'e was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows.

"Fan Xibei?"

Squinting, Liu Bei was also somewhat surprised.

Since Zhao Liuzhi was expelled from Fanjiacun, Fan Xibei has had no followers and has been behaving well lately, no longer targeting him.

But he never expected that Fan Xibei would sneak in tonight to be a thief.

What is this guy trying to steal?

Money?

"Yuehe, go fetch a basin of well water!"

"Okay!"

Before long, Su Yuehe brought over a basin of well water.

"Pour it down!" Liu Bei ordered.

"Pfft~"

After nodding, Su Yuehe decisively splashed the well water onto Fan Xibei's face.

"Cough cough~"

Fan Xibei was instantly choked awake.

"Awake?" Liu Bei asked casually, squinting his eyes.

"Liu—Liu Bei?"

Upon seeing Liu Bei's face, which he would recognize even if it were ashes, Fan Xibei was completely dumbfounded and instinctively tried to get up and flee the Liu family.

"Click~"

However, before he could get up, Liu Bei held him down firmly.

"I'll give you two choices. One, tell me your true purpose for infiltrating our home, and I might consider letting you go; two, I'll throw you into the latrine and make you eat shit. Which one do you choose?"

"Liu Bei, my uncle is the Party Secretary, how dare you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei picked up Fan Xibei with one hand and dragged him toward the outhouse.

"Liu Bei, didn't you fucking hear me? My uncle is the village secretary. If you dare throw me into the latrine, my uncle will definitely make you pay!"

After saying that, Liu Bei did not stop and continued to drag the child towards the outhouse.

"Liu Bei, are you really not understanding me? Stop! Stop right now!"

However, Liu Bei did not stop and continued to drag the body towards the outhouse.

"Liu Bei, that son of a bitch—"

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei kicked open the latrine door, dragged Fan Xibei inside, and without saying a word, shoved Fan Xibei's head down into the latrine.

"What?"

Smelling a very "pleasant" smell, Fan Xibei suddenly felt his stomach churning, felt extremely uncomfortable, and wanted to vomit.

But Liu Bei didn't stop; he continued to press his head deeper into the hole.

The more you press, the closer it gets; the more you press, the closer it gets.

Although the night was very dark,

With the help of the dim moonlight,

Fan Xibei was still able to see clearly what was underneath.

Immediately, he panicked and became flustered.

He immediately spoke up, "I said... I'm here to steal your land use permit!"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's hand indeed stopped.

"Hoo hoo~"

Seeing Liu Bei stop, Fan Xibei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he was decisive enough, otherwise he would have had to eat that thing.

so close!

Really dangerous!

"Why?" Liu Bei asked again.

"I'm jealous of you! I can't stand seeing you doing well! What else could it be?" Fan Xibei didn't hide anything and told the truth.

"Oh...is that all? Is there anything else?" Liu Bei pressed.

"No...that's all..."

No sooner had he spoken than Liu Bei pressed Fan Xibei down even further.

"Liu Bei, you—"

"No, no, please, I'll tell you everything, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei stopped again, staring intently at Fan Xibei. "Speak. What other purpose do you have?"

"I...I want to ruin you, and then...sleep with your three ex-wives, that's all, I really...I have no other purpose..."

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei immediately pressed down.

Then--

Fan Xibei enjoyed a delicious Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

"Ugh~"

Seeing the scene in the outhouse, Su Yuehe couldn't bear it any longer and turned away, feeling like vomiting.

"Great food! Delicious food! Absolutely fantastic! Liu Bei, well done!" Zhao Chunyan, who had just come out of the kitchen, clapped her hands, her face full of excitement, as if she herself had done the work.

"Well said. That's how it should be done!" Zhao Da'e said with a satisfied expression.

"Mother, Chunyan, what's wrong? Why are you both so happy?" After carrying Xiao Hei out, Lin Wanqiu looked at her mother-in-law and Zhao Chunyan, who were extremely excited, and was a little curious.

"Liu Bei made that scoundrel eat shit!"

Zhao Chunyan responded.

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

I imagined a scene.

"Cough cough~"

He coughed a few times. "Liu Bei, pull him up here. Don't let the stench kill you!"

"You all need to pinch your noses!" Liu Bei reminded them.

"Um!"

Zhao Da'e, Lin Wanqiu, Zhao Chunyan, and Su Yuehe all pinched their noses and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Liu Beifang then pulled Fan Xibei up.

By this time, Fan Xibei had already fainted from the stench.

"How is he?" Lin Wanqiu asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. He just fainted from the stench. He's not dead yet!" Liu Bei shook his head.

"What are your plans to do with him next?"

Lin Wanqiu pressed for an answer.

"Let him become famous all over the world!" Liu Bei said with amusement, stroking his chin.

"Huh? Famous all over the world???"

After hearing this, Zhao Da'e and the others were all completely confused.

"How so?"

Lin Wanqiu and the others spoke almost in unison.

"You'll find out soon enough!"

Liu Bei deliberately kept everyone in suspense, pinching his nose as he dragged Fan Xibei out of the latrine and out of the yard.

"Bang!"

After leaving the courtyard, he threw Fan Xibei on the ground, turned around and shouted into the house, "Mother, bring out the bronze gong that my father left behind!"

"What do you need a gong for so late at night?" Zhao Da'e asked, her face full of confusion.

"You'll find out soon enough. Go get it!" Liu Bei continued to keep everyone in suspense.

"Okay." Although she didn't know what Liu Bei was up to, Zhao Da'e still ran into her room to get the bronze gong.

The gong was her husband's favorite item, and after he passed away, she kept it hidden in her room.

Every time she saw the gong, it was as if she saw her man.

After taking it down, she touched the gong, and it was as if she could see her man's appearance when he was young.

That year, that month, that day, that season, under a blooming peach tree,

Liu Tongluo held a gong in one hand and a wooden mallet in the other, and struck the gong at her.

The sound of the gong signifies Liu Tongluo's declaration of love.

The second gong strike signifies Liu Tongluo's willingness to stay with her until old age;

The three gong strikes signify that Liu Tongluo intends to have children with her until the end of time.

"Old man, after you left, no one has rung your gong anymore."

"Tonight, your good son will need it!"

"Was this all part of your plan?"

As he spoke, he touched the gong.

Tears welled up in Zhao Da'e's eyes.

In her time, other men expressed their love in all sorts of creative ways.

Only her man, Liu Tongluo, was different.

While banging the gong, I told Heaven and the Old Man of the Moon,

Liu Tongluo wanted to spend his life with Zhao Da'e, have children, and stay together until the end of time...
