Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Seeing Zhao Chunyan's smug look, Lin Wanqiu shook her head inwardly.

This Chunyan is good in every way, except for her mouth. She's too picky and always likes to snag people.

Ugh!

"Cough cough~"

Liu Bei quickly coughed a few times and waved to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, come here!"

"Whoosh~"

With a few whooshes, Xiao Hei rushed up to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei touched Xiao Hei's neck and checked its injuries. "Hmm. It's recovering well. But next time, when you're injured, don't make the same mistake you did today."

"If you're injured, you need to stay home and rest properly. Don't go out unnecessarily. What if your injury flares up again?"

"Little Black, did you understand what I said? If you did, nod. If you didn't, wag your tail!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei immediately nodded.

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

"That's right. Let's go home!"

"Woof woof~"

Xiao Hei suddenly turned around and barked a few times at the pack of dogs behind him.

"Thump~"

Upon hearing the bark, the dogs immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to Xiao Hei.

Then--

"Whoosh~"

They scattered and ran off in different directions, one by one.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

It can be said that they came and went in a hurry.

"Little Black is amazing!"

Liu Bei gave a thumbs-up. "Let's go home. Today, Wanqiu will treat you to a special meal!"

With a smile, Liu Bei approached Zhao Da'e and said, "Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"It's alright. As long as he's back safe and sound. Come on, let's go home!" Zhao Da'e smiled happily, holding her son's wrist.

I thought my son had encountered some kind of trouble while he was in the mountains for a day and a night.

Unexpectedly, not only did his son return safely, but he was also pre-selected as the next village party secretary, and was about to become an official.

As a mother, she was naturally happy, and holding her son's hand, she walked faster and faster, becoming more and more energetic.

Lin Wanqiu smiled as she watched Liu Bei and Zhao Da'e, mother and son, walking hand in hand from behind.

Zhao Chunyan was playing with Xiao Hei.

Su Yuehe followed slowly at the very end.

Fan Erhe smiled and walked up to Fan Ha'er, Li Dazhuang, and Tan Si, father and son.

"You haven't paid yet. Don't leave yet!"

"Oh? How many do we have?" Tan Si asked first.

"Fifty each for you, father and son, that's one hundred in total!"

"Okay. Sure!"

Tan Si took the hundred yuan and was about to put it in his pocket.

"Cough cough~"

Old Tan immediately coughed. "Little Si, you're not married yet. Give me the money, and I'll give it to your mother to save for you. We'll give it back to you after you get married! So you won't squander it!"

Tan Si: "..."

I really wanted to refuse, but he's my son, and he can't disobey his father's orders.

I had no choice but to obediently hand over the hundred yuan, but it hurt my wallet.

"Dazhuang, here's your fifty yuan!"

"Thank you, Director Fan!" Li Dazhuang took the money. Although it wasn't as much as the money from Tan Si and his son, no one was going to rob him. After taking the money, he deliberately waved it at Tan Si with a smug expression, which made Tan Si grit his teeth in anger, but he had no choice but to endure it.

In the end, Tan Si had no choice but to turn his face away and pretend he hadn't seen anything.

But his fists were clenched very loudly.

"Haha~ That's awesome~"

Seeing Tan Si's discomfiture, Li Dazhuang smiled, put the money in his pocket, and hummed a little tune as he slowly walked away.

"Hmph! It's just fifty yuan, what's with all the arrogance?" Tan Si complained angrily.

"Cough cough~"

Fan Erhe coughed a few times, then took out another hundred yuan and handed it to Fan Ha'er.

"Hey, this hundred yuan is for you and your father. I heard your dad took your mother to the provincial capital to get her eyes checked. You're home alone. Keep the money safe. Don't spend it recklessly. Remember to give the money to your dad and mother when they come back. Got it?"

"Don't worry, manager, I definitely won't squander the money! I need to save up to get married!"

Fan Ha'er took the money.

"Hmm. Very good!" Fan Erhe smiled, cupped his hands in greeting to Fan Sanyuan, "Secretary, I have some matters to attend to at the forest farm, so I'll head back first. Let's sit down and have some tea another day."

"Okay. Shall I give you a ride?"

"No need. Please stay!" Fan Erhe got into the carriage and left.

"Tan Si!"

Fan Ha'er glanced at Tan Si.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Tan Si turned around.

"What's this?" Fan Ha'er waved the ten ten-yuan bills in his hand.

"Money? What else could it be?" Tan Si said casually.

"No. This is a big sum of money. It's a big sum of money. Ten big sums of money. I have them, you don't!"

Fan Ha'er then deliberately raised the banner of the Great Unity.

Tan Si: "..."

He finally understood what Fan Ha'er meant.

He was showing off and bragging to him.

Hey!

It's one thing for Li Dazhuang, who has no father, to show off in front of me; it's another.

Fan Ha'er is a mentally challenged man with parents.

They even flaunted and showed off their large sums of money in front of me.

This is outrageous!

"Fan Ha'er, you weren't the only one who took the money. I took it too!"

"Where's your money? Show it to me!" Fan Ha'er urged.

"Dad, give me the money." Tan Si looked at his father.

"Give me what? If I give it to you, you'll definitely squander it again. Go home!" Old Tan clutched his pocket tightly, refusing to take it out.

"Haha~"

Fan Ha'er burst into laughter, "See? I told you you didn't, and you still argued with me? That's great, really great, haha..."

Fan Ha'er waved ten large banknotes and swaggered away like a duck.

Tan Si was so angry that black lines appeared on his forehead.

"Father, I was bullied by an idiot. You still have the mind to watch?" Tan Si was very puzzled.

"You still know he's an idiot?" Old Tan frowned. "Do you think you'll amount to anything by associating with an idiot?"

"I……"

"Besides, what good would it do you even if you won? Would it make you famous?"

"I……"

Even if you win the argument, people will say it's not impressive for a normal person to beat an idiot. They'll even laugh at you for being brainless to argue with a fool!

"what……"

"What do you mean 'huh'? You better remember this. From now on, no matter who flaunts their money in front of you, pretend you didn't see anything."

"Why?" Tan Si didn't quite understand.

"Who dies most often in the river during the summer?" Old Tan asked.

"Someone who can swim!" Tan Si said.

"You know that too?" Old Tan frowned. "It's the same principle. If you get a little money and become arrogant, sooner or later you'll get too arrogant and fall to your death."

Tan Si: "..."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go home! You earned a hundred yuan; have your mom make you something nice to eat today so you can get better. That's more important than anything else!"

"Oh, okay... alright!"

Left with no other choice, Tan Si had to go home with Old Tan.

"Old ginger is indeed spicier!" Fan Sanyuan gave a thumbs up after hearing Old Tan's words.

Until the figures of Old Tan and his son disappeared,

Fan Sanyuan quickly ran to his two sons and asked with concern, "Are you two hurt?"

"Dad, my brother and I are doing just fine. Nothing's wrong!"

Fan Dayong patted his chest and said.

Hearing the solid sound of the patting, Fan Sanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright. Come on, let's go home. Ask your mom to make you both some meat. Have a good meal today!"

"Yes! Let's go home!"

"Everyone, go home now. You've all been working hard for a day and a night. When you get home, ask your parents or wives to cook you something nice to nourish your bodies!"

"The Party Secretary is right, let's go home!"

"Time to go home!"

"Father, Mother, I'm home!"

"Wife, children, I'm home!"

……

On this side,

Liu Bei and his mother, Zhao Da'e, had just entered the courtyard when...

The eldest daughter, Panpan, suddenly rushed over.

Then she cried.

"Panpan, why are you crying?"
