Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"What?"

Seeing the villagers start making a fuss, Li Xiulan collapsed to the ground.

He slowly crawled towards village secretary Fan Sanyuan, grabbing Fan's trouser leg and pleading, "Uncle, Northwest is your own nephew. Can you really bear to watch him die?"

"Snap!"

Fan Sanyuan slapped her across the face, angrily shouting, "Li Xiulan, you need to understand the situation. This bastard Fan Xibei is stealing right now!"

"This is illegal. Even if he were my own nephew, or even my own son, if he got caught, I'd beat him without hesitation!"

"This is none of your business, go back!"

"Uncle, if he dies, what... what will I do?" Li Xiulan was extremely unwilling.

"You decide for yourself. I can't be bothered with your family's affairs!" Fan Sanyuan's attitude was very firm.

"Uncle, you...you..."

After stammering for a while, Li Xiulan crawled towards Liu Bei again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

She immediately kowtowed three times to Liu Bei, pleading, "Brother Bei, I know Northwest has been making things difficult for you lately and has done many things to wrong you!"

"I...I apologize to you on his behalf and admit my mistake."

"Please, please spare his life! If he's gone, I... I'll be a widow. How am I supposed to live?"

"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah~"

Seeing his wife kneeling down and begging Liu Bei, Fan Xibei struggled to speak.

Liu Bei removed the cloth from his mouth.

"Liu Bei, I'll fuck your mother—"

The word "mother" had barely left his lips when Liu Bei took off his shoe and slapped her across the face.

"Snap!"

For a moment, the entire room fell silent.

Even Li Xiulan was dumbfounded.

To save Fan Xibei's life, she abandoned all shame and knelt down before Liu Bei.

Fan Xibei actually pulled this stunt?

Are you out of your mind?

"Xiulan, did you see that? This is the bastard you're trying to protect!" Fan Sanyuan was furious and exasperated. "Since he doesn't appreciate your kindness, why are you suffering for him? Get up now and go home!"

"Uncle, I...I..." Li Xiulan stammered for a moment, then looked at Fan Xibei, "Xibei, can't you calm down? Quickly apologize to Brother Xiao Bei!"

"You filthy woman, didn't you see I got fed a whole latrine full of filth by Liu Bei? I'm covered in stench. You expect me to apologize to him? No way!"

"Fan Xibei, are you really courting death?" Li Xiulan's voice trembled with anger.

"Are you out of your mind?" Fan Xibei scoffed. "Last time we were hunting in the mountains, I was intimidated by him because he fired a gun. Ever since then, apart from Zhao Liuzhi, nobody in the village wants to hang out with me anymore. I've regretted it ever since! I regret believing Liu Bei would actually dare to kill me!"

"I'm putting my cards on the table today. This time, I'm not backing down. I want to see what Liu Bei dares to do to me!"

"You—you—" Hearing these words, Li Xiulan was furious but couldn't vent her anger, her face full of disappointment.

"Xiulan, did you hear that again? This bastard is beyond saving. Are you still going to plead for him?" Fan Sanyuan asked with a stern face.

"I—I—"

Li Xiulan was very reluctant to part with him.

Ever since Fan Xibei was suppressed by Liu Bei, things haven't gone smoothly between them at night, and she's become increasingly satisfied with Fan Xibei.

But no matter what, that matter was a private family affair between the couple.

It's fine for the couple to have a little tiff behind closed doors.

But in front of outsiders, we must still stand on the united front.

After all, a night of marriage brings a hundred nights of kindness.

She still had some feelings for Fan Xibei, and it was really hard for her to give him up so easily.

But Fan Xibei's words just now hurt her deeply and disappointed her greatly.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiulan asked again.

"Northwest, are you really not going to listen to me?"

"That's right. I'm the head of this household. I'm in charge here. It's not up to a woman like you to tell me what to do. You just stay quiet and watch. Liu Bei wouldn't dare kill me."

"You—" Hearing this, Li Xiulan was even more utterly disappointed. She pointed at Fan Xibei for a moment, "Fine. If you want to die, then go ahead and die. I don't care anymore. Uncle, you're right. This bastard is beyond redemption. Whether he lives or dies is none of my business! I'm going home!"

As she spoke, Li Xiulan turned and pushed through the crowd to leave.

Watching Li Xiulan's departing figure, Fan Xibei flew into a rage. "You old hag! You're leaving already? You better come back here! I told you to come back, didn't you hear me?"

"Snap!"

Fan Sanyuan took off one of his shoes and slapped him, "You good-for-nothing! Your wife sacrificed her dignity for you. And you, not only are you ungrateful, you even insult her. Have you lost your conscience? Xiao Bei, this bastard, our family is cutting ties with him. From now on, he is no longer my nephew. Do with him as you please. Even if you beat him to death, I won't interfere!"

"Yes, I don't have a cousin like him!" Fan Dayong and Fan Daqiang echoed.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

……

Immediately, the villagers started making a fuss.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows inward, glancing at Fan Xibei.

There's a saying: "If you don't court death, you won't die!"

"Since you, Fan Xibei, are so courageous and resilient, fine. I'll grant your wish!"

"Liu Bei, you dare! I don't believe you'd actually dare to kill me!"

Fan Xibei roared in disbelief.

"Is that so?" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bei grabbed a mud brick from the side and smashed it down on Fan Xibei's head without saying a word.

"What?"

Fan Xibei's expression changed drastically, and he panicked.

As the mud brick fell closer and closer...

And then there was Liu Bei's cold, piercing gaze, utterly devoid of any warmth.

He suddenly became afraid.

I'm really scared.

He knew that Liu Bei truly intended to kill him.

How dare Liu Bei do that?

Even if we kill him, Liu Bei will still go to jail.

Has Liu Bei gone mad?

Yes, Liu Bei is a madman.

Otherwise, Liu Bei wouldn't have threatened him with a gun in the mountains last time.

He and Fan Ha'er are not normal people; they're both mentally ill.

"Thump~"

In an instant, Fan Xibei knelt down in front of Liu Bei.

"Liu Bei, I...I was wrong, I was really wrong, I'm kneeling down before you. I apologize. I admit my mistake. Please, just forgive me and let it go."

"..."

"Splash~ Splash~"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fan Xibei wet his pants again.

"..."

The villagers stared in disbelief, their mouths agape.

He was so arrogant just now.

You chickened out so quickly?

Still wetting your pants?

Hey!

Not only did he reek of foul odor, but he was also...

They are now deliberately polluting the environment.

What a filthy thing!

"He's disgusting and stinks, stay away from him!" A villager pinched his nose and stepped back.

"Damn! I thought he was going to be so brave, but this is all? What a coward!"

"What a disgrace! He has completely disgraced the entire Fan clan tonight."

"Exactly. It's so unfair to Xiulan!"

"Yes. Xiulan is suffering. How will she manage as a woman all alone in the future?"
