Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Mother, are you done yet?"

Suddenly, Liu Bei's son's voice came from outside.

Zhao Da'e wiped away the tears from her eyes, composed herself, and replied, "Okay. I'll be out right away!"

Holding the man's gong in one hand and the clapper he used years ago in the other, Zhao Da'e walked out of the room.

"Xiao Bei, here you go!"

"Chunyan, Wanqiu, keep an eye on him! I'm just going for a walk around the village and I'll be right back!"

After receiving the gong and the clapper, Liu Bei walked away.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Liu Fan banged on his gong and shouted, "Listen up, folks! My house's been burgled! A big thief! My little black dog and Chunyan caught him red-handed, and he even got to eat a pile of shit! Anyone interested, hurry over to my house, Liu Bei's house, and take a look!"

A certain household.

A middle-aged couple is doing some errands.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Suddenly, a loud gong and drum sounded outside, startling the man.

"Why did you stop? Keep going!"

"I...I'm terrified!"

"I was just getting into it, and you pull this on me? Get out of here!"

"Bang!"

The man was kicked down and fell face-first into the dirt.

"Damn it! Which bastard is banging a gong outside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? He's ruined my life! I'm not letting him get away with this!"

Enraged, the man quickly grabbed his clothes, put them on, and stormed out of the yard.

"Who the hell is banging a gong in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"

He had only spoken halfway when Liu Bei turned his head and looked over. Fan Libo, the man in question, was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smiling face.

"It's...it's Xiao Bei!"

The village party secretary planned to have Liu Bei take over the position, so how could he dare to offend him?

"Why are you banging a gong so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"Uncle Libo, my house has been burgled! The thief has been caught. Are you interested in going to take a look?"

"What? Someone dared to steal from your house? That's incredibly audacious. Fine. I'll go check it out right away!"

"Uncle Libo, don't rush. Go and bring Auntie along too!"

"Oh, right, right, right. And you should bring your aunt too, bring your aunt!"

"Okay. I'm off to the next place to bang the gong!"

Liu Bei turned around and continued walking.

Another one.

"Xiaofeng, the baby is crying, he must be hungry, quickly feed him something!"

"Do you think I don't want to feed my son? But I need to have something to feed him first!"

"Why haven't you fed it?"

"Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself." The woman demonstrated. "See? There's food being fed."

"Where's the food? Where did it go?"

"Lately, my family has been eating nothing but porridge and vegetables all day long, not even a little meat. Where am I supposed to get my food from?"

"But the child can't go hungry. What should we do?"

"listen!"

"What are you listening to?"

"Are you deaf? There's someone banging a gong outside, it sounds like Liu Bei's voice... He said... his house was burgled, and he wants us all to go check it out!"

"Liu Bei? Oh right, Liu Bei's a really good hunter. Li Dazhuang, Old Tan, and Fan Shuanzhu went up the mountain with him a few times, and I heard they made quite a bit. Come on, let's get up and go check out his place. We can also try to get some information out of him. See if we can get him to let us work for us!"

"That's right. Let's go take a look!"

……

Similar households stood side by side.

Soon, all the villagers in Fanjiacun heard the sound of the gong and learned that Liu Bei's house had been robbed.

Liu Bei is currently enjoying great popularity.

It's said that the village party secretary intends to let him succeed him.

As the future number one figure of Fanjia Village

Who wouldn't give them some face?

So they all got out of bed and hurried to Liu Bei's house.

A few minutes later.

The courtyard outside Liu Bei's house was packed with people from the entire village.

"Xiao Bei, where's the thief? Let us see."

"Yes. Who was the thief?"

"They dare to come to our Fanjiacun Village to steal things! They're incredibly audacious. We should just punish them according to the clan rules!"

"Just kill him!"

"Yes, let's kill him. It'll be a warning to others, so no other thieves will dare to steal from our village!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

……

In an instant,

The villagers all started making a fuss.

Inside the courtyard, Fan Xibei panicked upon hearing this.

He struggled incessantly, but his body was bound and he couldn't break free.

He wanted to speak, but his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, so he couldn't say anything. He was so anxious that his face turned blue, white, and purple.

A few minutes later,

Village Party Secretary Fan Sanyuan also arrived with his two sons.

"Xiao Bei, I heard your house was burgled. Where are the burglars?" Fan Sanyuan asked urgently.

"He dared to steal from Brother Bei's house, he's really asking for trouble. Just do as the villagers say, beat him to death!" Fan Dayong chimed in.

"Yeah, Brother Bei, where's the thief? Drag him out, I'll beat him to death myself. Saves you the trouble of getting your hands dirty!" Fan Daqiang volunteered, trying to curry favor.

Liu Bei smiled. "Chunyan, Wanqiu, bring the thief out!"

"Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunyan pushed Fan Xibei out, saying, "Get out!"

"No... I won't go out..."

"You have no choice in this!" Zhao Chunyan forcefully pulled Fan Xibei out, shouting, "Wanqiu, put in some effort! Haven't you eaten?"

"I'll help too!"

Zhao Da'e stepped forward and pulled Fan Xibei away.

"I...I'll help too!" Su Yuehe joined in.

"come on!"

"come on!"

"come on!"

Panpan and Liu Nian cheered them on from the sidelines.

"Biubiubiu~" Xiao Bao raised his toy gun, aimed at Fan Xibei, and fired a few shots. "Shoot the bad guy, shoot the bad guy..."

Before long, with the combined efforts of the four women, Fan Xibei was finally pulled out of the courtyard.

Suddenly, the shouts of killing from the villagers of Fanjiacun came to an abrupt halt, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at Fan Xibei's face, which was so familiar to them all.

Not only that, but everyone pinched their noses and stepped back because it smelled so bad.

After a while,

Fan Dayong was the first to call out, "Fan Xibei? How come it's you?"

"Northwest?" Fan Daqiang snapped out of his daze, his eyebrows twitching. "You stole from Brother Bei's house? Have you lost your mind?"

"You bastard!"

Fan Sanyuan was so angry that his entire old face turned black.

Fan Xibei is his own nephew.

He had repeatedly opposed Liu Bei and had never won, which had already brought him shame.

Fortunately, Liu Bei only punished him lightly each time out of consideration for him, and did not make a big deal out of it.

But he never expected that Fan Xibei would be so audacious as to sneak into Liu Bei's house late at night to steal things.

Stealing was no small matter in 1981.

If caught, they can be killed on the spot.

This bastard not only disgraced his own lineage, but also the entire Fan Family Village.

"Secretary, he's your nephew. What should we do with him? I'm handing him over to you!"

"Kill him!"

Li Dazhuang suddenly started shouting.

"Yes, they must be killed. Otherwise, any thief will dare to come to our Fan Family Village to steal things in the future," Tan Si agreed.

"That's right. He must be killed. Otherwise, how can our Fan Family Village ever face anyone again?" Old Tan immediately chimed in.

"Kill this traitor!"

"Yes, they even steal from their own villagers, they must be killed!"

"Our Fan clan has no scoundrels like him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"
