Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Hey you who eats shit, if you're not happy, come here. Come and hit me!"

Fan Ha'er kept looking down on Zhang Hu, which angered Zhang Hu so much that he grabbed a bamboo pole to paddle the raft across, but his cousin stopped him.

"Cousin, don't be impulsive! They have guns! They have guns!"

Zhang Hu calmed down after hearing the word "gun".

His eyes were practically spitting fire, but he was helpless.

Ever since he offended Liu Bei and displeased the village secretaries, he was kicked out of the militia. Even his hunting rifle was forcibly confiscated.

That's why he always came empty-handed when he met Liu Bei and Fan Ha'er, and could only be bullied.

Wrong!

So frustrating!

"Damn it!"

Zhang Hu, enraged, threw a punch that missed its mark.

"Brother Bei, Zhang Hu is sulking!"

"I see him. Ignore him, let's keep fishing!"

Liu Bei chuckled, too lazy to bother with Zhang Hu any longer.

"Okay!"

Soon, following Liu Bei's instructions, Fan Ha'er marked the designated location.

As soon as he stopped, Liu Bei cast the fishing net over.

When he pulled it out, the net was full of big fish.

Every single one of them was lively and energetic.

They even caught a few large turtles.

Watching Liu Bei effortlessly haul in large fish with his net, as if harvesting leeks, the frustrated Zhang brothers' eyes welled up with bloodshot with anger.

The more this happened, the more unwilling he became.

They caught up with the place where Liu Bei had cast his net and tried to cast it in the same way, but what they pulled up were either toads, stones, grass roots, or even some poisonous aquatic products.

The best I ever caught was a few medium-sized crucian carp.

"This is weird. This is really weird!" My cousin plopped down on the bamboo raft, exhausted. "We're from the same place, so why does the Liu guy always catch a haul of big fish? When it's our turn, we haven't caught a single big one. We've only caught seven medium-sized fish so far! Is God deliberately playing a trick on us?"

My cousin was so angry that he kept grumbling and complaining.

Zhang Hu was so angry that his face turned so black it looked like it was dripping black ink.

This is outrageous!

"Hey! Isn't this Tiger, the big idiot and moron? What's wrong? Didn't catch a single big fish? You don't believe me if I say you're stupid, and you still don't believe me if I say you're a moron. You're even stupider than me."

"A moron like you, a complete idiot, dares to challenge Brother Bei? You'd better clean your asshole up properly, go back and poop again so you can have a good meal. Don't embarrass yourself in the lake!"

"You...you..."

Hearing these contemptuous words, Zhang Hu's eyes bulged even wider with anger.

"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!"

suddenly,

Two lines of bright red tears flowed from his eyes.

"cousin!"

My cousin's expression changed drastically. "Why is your eye bleeding? Let's stop fishing. Let's go ashore. We'll take you to the town clinic to get it checked out!"

"Oh! You're bleeding already? You dare call yourself Zhang Hu? I think you should just change your name to Zhang Shit."

"You...you...pfft..."

Zhang Hu was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood drifted through the air, slowly settling onto the lake surface, where it was instantly diluted and assimilated by the water.

"Fan-Ha-er, I—will never let you get away with this!!!"

After pointing at Fan Ha'er and saying a few words, Zhang Hu closed his eyes and fainted.

"Cousin! Cousin! Cousin!!!"

"Brother Bei, Zhang Hu has vomited blood and fainted, what should we do?" Fan Ha'er frowned.

"What else can we do? Let it be!" Liu Bei shrugged, looking nonchalant. "Don't forget you're an idiot. An idiot can kill without breaking the law. You just said a few nasty things. He couldn't take it, vomited blood, and fainted. There's no way he'll hold you accountable now. Ignore him, let's keep fishing!"

"Oh right! I'm a fucking idiot. How could I forget again!" Fan Ha'er slapped his forehead, laughed, "It's better to be an idiot. It's not illegal to curse someone until they vomit blood. It's not illegal to kill someone. Since it's not illegal, Brother Bei, I have a new idea!"

"What new idea?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"It's illegal either way. Might as well go all the way and just kidnap the young woman's sister, take her home, and marry her. Then, on their wedding night, you can tell me how to have lots of babies. Once the kids are there, the young woman's parents will have no choice but to acknowledge them. What do you say, Brother Bei?"

Liu Bei: "..."

Damn it.

This is clearly maximizing the value of a fool.

Is Fan Ha'er really an idiot?

He would never believe it if he hadn't grown up wearing the same pair of pants as his mother.

The method is good, but it's a bit too wicked; it's not something a righteous person should do.

Once it starts...

Fan Ha'er might become addicted and lose control in the future.

If that were the case, who knows what kind of disaster might occur in the future.

no,

We absolutely cannot let Fan Ha'er do that.

"Uh... ah, there's a saying that forced love is never sweet! Do you know what that means?"

"I don't know. What does it mean?"

"If you forcibly pick a melon before it's fully ripe, do you think it will be sweet or bitter?"

"Does that even need to be said? I've eaten it before. Unripe melons are very bitter!"

"Yes, it's bitter. It's the same principle. You like the younger sister of this married woman, that's a good thing. But you don't know if that younger sister likes you back. If you force her to be your wife, what if she doesn't like you?"

"She dares!!!"

"What if she doesn't like you? What would you do then?"

"What...what should I do?" Fan Ha'er was stumped.

"You ask me, and I don't know either. If I were you, I wouldn't force her. Even if I did get her back, if she didn't like me, she'd definitely find a chance to commit suicide. Then she'd be gone like that young woman, and things would be terrible! What do you think, eh?"

"I...I..."

Fan Ha'er grabbed his hair, squatted on the bamboo raft, and kept muttering to himself.

"If I take her back, she won't like me and will kill herself. If I don't take her back, how am I supposed to have a baby with her? What should I do? What should I do?"

Seeing Ha'er struggling to make a decision, Liu Bei shook his head and sighed deeply.

This is Fan Ha'er's business; Liu Bei can't make the decision.

We'll have to let Fan Ha'er make the decision himself.

There was only one thing Liu Bei could do:

We must do everything possible to prevent Fan Ha'er from embarking on a path of crime.

Even if Fan Ha'er is an idiot, he can be exempted.

But Liu Bei couldn't let Fan Ha'er become a lawbreaker.

We may be brothers in this life, but there may be no next life.

He was reborn, and luckily, he became brothers with Ha'er again in this lifetime.

He really didn't want his brother to become a criminal.

"Hey! Take your time thinking! I'll pole you home!"

After patting Fan Ha'er on the shoulder a few times, Liu Bei grabbed a bamboo pole and pushed off, rowing the raft toward Fanjia Village on the opposite bank.

"To rob or not to rob?"

"If I fight for her, I can have more babies quickly! If I don't, what if she doesn't want to be my wife and doesn't want to have babies with me?"

"I'm going to snatch her away! If she doesn't like me taking my own life, then... then I'll never see her again..."
