Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Liu Bei had no idea how much Lin Wanqiu and Zhao Chunyan were arguing.

He had already arrived at the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

"Brother Bei, you've finally arrived! Let's go, let's go!"

Fan Ha'er couldn't wait to pull Liu Bei along and run towards Zhangjia Lake.

After ten minutes,

Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er reappeared on the surface of Zhangjia Lake.

today,

Fan Ha'er was in a better mood than ever before, and looked even more spirited.

As soon as he boarded the bamboo raft, before Liu Bei could even get ready, he eagerly pushed off with the bamboo pole and paddled towards the depths of Zhangjia Lake.

As they rowed, Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er suddenly saw another bamboo raft appear in front of the lake.

Coincidentally, there were also two people on the bamboo raft.

Fan Ha'er craned his neck to take a closer look, his eyebrows fluttering.

"Brother Bei, it's Zhang Hu again!"

"How come I always run into him? Is he born in the Year of the Dog? His nose is so sensitive! He always shows up whenever we go fishing. It's so annoying!"

Liu Bei also took a closer look and noticed that on the bamboo raft opposite, Zhang Hu was holding a fishing net, while another person was punting with a bamboo pole.

Perhaps sensing that Liu Bei was watching him, Zhang Hu put down the fishing net, placed his hands on either side of his mouth to form a megaphone, and shouted at Liu Bei.

"Hey Liu, I've been waiting for you for days. I thought you were going to cower and never come back. But you finally showed up today. You think you're so good at fishing? Today, I'll have a competition with you and see who's better! I'm going to crush you, kid. I'll let all the villages along Zhangjia Lake know that when it comes to fishing, I, Zhang Hu, am the best!"

"Brother Bei, that kid wants to spar with you; he wants to make a name for himself by using you!"

Liu Bei scoffed, "You can't beat me in a fight, so you want to compete with me in fishing, hoping to make a name for yourself by stepping on my heads? Hah, he doesn't deserve it!!!"

"Yeah, yeah, that shit-eating bastard, how can he compare to you, Brother Bei? He's just dreaming!"

Fan Ha'er looked completely agreeable.

"Ignore him. Keep rowing!"

Liu Bei, too lazy to pay any more attention to Zhang Hu, instructed Fan Ha'er to continue paddling the bamboo poles according to the directions he indicated.

"Over there!" Liu Bei glanced at the red dots that appeared in his line of sight, and immediately pointed to a spot at the 11 o'clock position, telling Fan Ha'er to quickly swipe over there.

"Okay!"

Fan Ha'er skillfully paddled across using a bamboo pole.

"Pfft~"

Liu Bei was very decisive and simply cast the fishing net down.

Just sprinkled,

Meanwhile, Zhang Hu and his companion arrived at the lake where Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er had just been standing. Instead of rushing to intercept them, they stopped there and waited at a distance, clearly wanting to see if Liu Bei could catch a net full of fish when he cast it.

Their plan was simple.

If Liu Bei didn't catch any fish, they would immediately start making rude and sarcastic remarks about him.

If Liu Bei catches a fish, it means there are many fish in the area where Liu Bei fished. As soon as Liu Bei catches a fish, he will quickly paddle over and compete with Liu Bei to steal the fish and pick up the scraps. Then he can give that bastard Liu Bei a good scolding.

"Knock knock knock~"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from underwater.

"Brother Bei, there's fish! There's fish!" Fan Ha'er excitedly reminded him after hearing the noise.

Liu Beixun pulled upwards with all his might.

With a whoosh, the fishing net was pulled up.

Lively fish struggled desperately in the fishing net, filling it completely.

"Damn! So many fish!" Zhang Hu's companion exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn!" Zhang Hu was consumed by jealousy, his gaze icy cold. "But this is good too. We'll be able to snag a huge bargain later! Cousin, let's go grab some fish!"

"Alright!" Zhang Hu's cousin said with a happy face, quickly paddling across with the bamboo pole.

"Brother Bei, we didn't catch a single mermaid again!"

After examining it carefully, Fan Ha'er was somewhat disappointed.

"Are mermaids so easy to catch? Everyone can take one home? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put it in the bucket!" Liu Bei reminded him.

"Oh, okay!" Although somewhat disappointed, Liu Bei had a point, and Fan Ha'er quickly picked up the fish one by one and put them into the bucket. Just as he finished, he noticed the Zhang brothers paddling over.

"Brother Bei, that shit-eating bastard Zhang Hu is coming!"

Liu Bei glanced back and sneered, "He's here to steal the fish. Hey, go over there!"

After glancing at the red dot in his line of sight, Liu Bei pointed to a new location.

"Okay!"

Fan Ha'er used a bamboo pole to paddle in the direction Liu Bei pointed out.

They had barely left when the Zhang brothers arrived.

"Pfft~"

As soon as the bamboo raft stopped, Zhang Hu couldn't wait to cast the fishing net into the water.

"Brother Bei, look! Zhang Hu spilled the water you just spilled!" Fan Ha'er frowned, clearly displeased.

"Heh, trying to take advantage of me? Not so easy. Let him play around if he wants. Ignore him!"

Liu Bei didn't take it to heart at all, and calmly watched Zhang Hu catch fish from a distance.

"Tiger, it moved! It moved! There's a fish! Pull it up quickly!"

Zhang Hu's face lit up with joy. He deliberately glanced at Liu Bei, his expression full of smugness, as if he were saying something to Liu Bei.

Hey Liu, you see this? I'm going to play this game with you to the bitter end today. Wherever you try to make money, I'll go there and take full advantage of you.

Now I've caught a fish too, so just watch.

With a smile, Zhang Hu immediately pulled up the fishing net.

After the fishing net is pulled onto the bamboo raft,

The Zhang brothers were dumbfounded.

Because apart from a toad, the fishing net contained only seaweed, snails, and tiny juvenile fish; not a single large fish was visible.

"Haha~"

Fan Ha'er immediately burst into laughter, "Brother Bei, did you see that? No fish, not a single big one. That shit-eating bastard got nothing, hahaha..."

"I've practically emptied that place, there's no way he could get any. Trying to take advantage of me and snag something for nothing? Heh heh, you're only fit to eat shit!"

Liu Bei shook his head and sneered.

"How is that possible?"

On the other side, the Zhang brothers looked on incredulously.

After all that commotion, it turned out to be caused by that toad.

Damn it.

Why are you, a toad, in such a hurry to die?

Enraged, Zhang Hu kicked the toad into the lake.

"Brother Bei, why is that toad not staying in the grass? What's it doing here causing trouble?"

Fan Ha'er stroked his chin and asked a question.

"He probably wants to eat tiger meat," Liu Bei nodded. "If he can't get swan meat, he can at least try tiger meat. That toad probably just wanted Zhang Hu's meat, thought it was delicious, and that's why it took the bait!"

"What? Zhang Hu, that guy who eats shit for a living, his meat is delicious? Bah! His meat stinks to death, anyone who eats it will be suffocated by the stench! Toads may be ugly, but they can't be stupid, right? Stupid enough to eat rotten meat? Just one whiff is disgusting!"

Zhang Hu: "..."

Hearing Fan Ha'er's loud voice, he was so angry that his face turned black.

Damn it!

Who exactly did that idiot Fan Ha'er learn his eloquence from?

His words are getting increasingly harsh!

This is absolutely infuriating!

It's so captivating...
