Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Liu Bei never imagined that the idea of ​​catching the mermaid and proposing marriage was actually Fan Ha'er's idea.

Is Ha'er really stupid, or is he just pretending?

"Brother Bei, we've explained the reason. Now, hurry up and take me fishing. If I catch a mermaid, I can propose to her. And then I can marry her. I'll need your guidance then!"

"Guides?" Liu Bei was slightly taken aback. "Guides you with what?"

"What else can I advise you on? Of course, it's how to have more babies!"

Liu Bei: "..."

He was speechless.

Old Tan: "..."

As expected of a fool.

That was truly a masterful move!

Brother Shuanzhu has really raised a fine son!

Tan Si: "..."

He immediately started coughing.

"Cough cough~"

"Uh, um... um, don't talk nonsense—"

"Tan Si, where did I lie? I really don't know how to have so many babies. But Brother Bei is different. He's married three wives, and all three have given him babies. That means he's very experienced. If I don't ask him for advice, who else can I ask? You, of course? But you're not married either. What experience could you possibly have? What could you possibly teach me?"

Tan Si: "..."

It's so awkward.

He quickly waved his hand, "Uh... um... Dad, you've been busy all night, you must be very tired. Come on. Let me help you back to rest. Mom is still waiting for you at home!"

Old Tan also came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes. I'm getting old, I can't compare to you young people anymore. I've been up all night, my body can't take it anymore, I need to go back and get some rest. Xiao Bei, Ha'er, you two brothers can discuss it slowly, Tan Si and I will head back first!"

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, Old Tan grabbed Tan Si and the father and son left quickly hand in hand.

Liu Bei: "..."

Its head is very, very big.

"Brother Bei, Tan Si is such a traitor! I told him we'd go mermaid hunting together today, the three of us. Many hands make light work, but he just ran off. Next time, I'm never dragging him along again. Humph!!!"

Liu Beiman's forehead was covered in black lines.

There's really nothing we can do about Ha'er.

"Uh... Ah, I just got back. How about we go out tonight while I rest for a bit?"

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment before making the suggestion.

"No way!" Fan Ha'er disagreed. "This concerns my life's most important event. I can't wait a moment longer. Unless, Brother Bei, you don't want me to get married soon, and you don't want to teach me how to have lots of babies!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's head throbbed even more.

She covered her face, unsure of what to say.

Sometimes, when Fan Ha'er acts silly, it's actually a huge advantage for him.

But sometimes, his silliness really gives him a headache.

"Brother Bei, you don't really not want me to get married, do you?"

"I didn't say that, did I?" Liu Bei quickly denied.

"Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go into the yard to get your tools. I'll wait for you here!" Fan Ha'er said, pushing Liu Bei into the yard.

"Alright, alright. I'll go, okay? You wait for me at the village entrance. I'll get my tools and come find you!" Liu Bei really couldn't persuade Fan Ha'er otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree.

"This is my real brother! Brother Bei, I'll wait for you at the village entrance! Hurry up!"

Fan Ha'er was overjoyed and ran quickly towards the village entrance.

"Sigh~"

Watching Fan Ha'er's fast-moving figure, Liu Bei shook his head speechlessly.

"I'm back!"

Suddenly, a gentle, concerned voice came from behind Liu Bei.

He slowly turned around and looked back.

Lin Wanqiu came out.

"Late Autumn. I went to town to look for you. You weren't there. The people in town said you sold out and came back in an hour."

"Yes, that's right!" Lin Wanqiu nodded, walked over and took Liu Bei's arm. "I have two pieces of great news to tell you today!"

"Oh? What's the good news?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"First thing. The new head of the town's supply and marketing cooperative came to see the three of us!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei narrowed his eyes. "What do they want with the three of you? Are they threatening you?"

"No, not at all! But—" Lin Wanqiu smiled, "they gave us a big order! They said they want to work with us again. The purchase price will be 20 cents higher than before!"

"Add two cents? They're really generous!" Liu Bei's eyes narrowed to slits. "You agreed?"

"How could that be?" Lin Wanqiu shook her head. "The three of us wanted to earn more money. But we still have our bottom line; we're not spineless. After they brought it up, we couldn't even discuss it together and unanimously refused!"

"So united?" Liu Bei was somewhat surprised.

"Yeah. I didn't expect that either!" Lin Wanqiu smiled.

"Well done! That's how it should be done!" Liu Bei was very satisfied. "Oh, by the way, what was their reaction after you refused?"

"What else could it be?" Zhao Chunyan walked over as well. "His face looked like he'd fallen into a latrine and eaten a pile of shit!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Just like Sister Chunyan said!" Su Yuehe also came out. "You didn't see how embarrassed they were back then, it was truly a sight to behold!"

"That's good! Serves you right!" Liu Bei felt great too. "What's the second thing?"

"Let me speak, let me speak!" Su Yuehe eagerly interjected, "The factory manager of the machinery plant is doing business with us!"

"Oh? How so?" Liu Bei's interest was piqued.

"The factory manager told us to work directly in their canteen, specifically preparing grasshoppers for them," Su Yuehe continued. "He also said he'd sign a three-year contract with us. Everything will remain the same for those three years. We'll split the profits 30/70 with the factory!"

"A three-year contract? Or a 30/70 split?"

Liu Bei's face showed disbelief.

In this way, you'll have a stable income within three years, and you won't have to worry about any unexpected problems.

"Did you agree?" Liu Bei pressed.

"No!" Su Yuehe shook her head.

"Huh? Why won't you agree?" Liu Bei was a little confused.

Just as Su Yuehe was about to explain, Zhao Chunyan interrupted, "Isn't it all because of your ex-wife, Lin Wanqiu?"

"Late Autumn? What does that have to do with her?" Liu Bei didn't quite understand.

Zhao Chunyan continued, "Your ex-wife, Lin Wanqiu, said you figured out how to cook grasshoppers. The decision is yours. You're still the pillar of our Liu family. We three can make decisions on small matters, but on big matters, you must make the decision. Doing business with the machinery factory for three years is a big deal. We three are women; we can't make decisions on our own. We must consult you first and ask for your opinion. If you disagree, we won't do it. If you agree, we'll do it!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei immediately glanced at Lin Wanqiu.

A virtuous wife and loving mother is nothing more than this.

He is always the first person I think of, and he is the center of my world.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Liu Bei was deeply moved.

"Late Autumn, from now on, when I'm not around, the three of you can make decisions on things that you're capable of making. There's no need to ask for my opinion!"

"But--"

Listen to me.
