Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

He took off his clothes and gently walked over to drape them over Lin Wanqiu's shoulders.

Just as he was about to blow out the lamp, Lin Wanqiu suddenly woke up.

"You're back!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Startled, she quickly waved her hand. "Wanqiu, I didn't mean to wake you. I just saw you sleeping alone in the yard, and it was chilly at night with dew, so I was worried you'd catch a cold. I was just putting a coat on you! I didn't mean to wake you. I'm so sorry!"

"Put on a coat?"

Lin Wanqiu then noticed that there was a man's shirt on her shoulder.

Although it smelled of sweat,

But she didn't find it smelly at all; in fact, she thought it smelled quite nice.

"When did you get back?" Lin Wanqiu asked with concern, deeply moved.

"Just entered the courtyard!" Liu Bei replied.

"Oh, so you haven't taken a bath yet?" Lin Wanqiu picked up the oil lamp. "The water's already boiled for you. It's in the kettle. Go—"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei scooped Lin Wanqiu up in his arms.

"What are you doing so late at night?" Lin Wanqiu immediately glanced at the other rooms and breathed a sigh of relief after finding nothing amiss.

Liu Bei stared blankly at Lin Wanqiu. "Late at night, a man and a woman alone in a shower room. What do you think I'm planning to do?"

"you--"

"Shh!" Liu Bei covered Lin Wanqiu's mouth with his finger. "Don't talk. If you wake them up, we won't be able to wash up!"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

This Liu Bei wants to have a passionate encounter with me.

For a moment, she lowered her head.

Seeing Lin Wanqiu's appearance, Liu Bei smiled and gently carried her towards the bathroom.

"Bang!"

I closed the door gently.

Liu Bei put Lin Wanqiu down and personally picked up the kettle and poured the water into the bath tub.

The water is a bit hot.

After pouring in several jugs of water, Liu Bei added half more cold water. He tested the water temperature and found it to be neither too hot nor too cold—just right.

"My wife, you've had a hard night!"

"My husband, thank you for your help tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei picked up Lin Wanqiu and stepped into the wooden tub together.

The situation changed drastically in a short time...

Half an hour later.

Lin Wanqiu nestled in Liu Bei's arms.

"How are the fish selling?"

"Sold them all. We even secured a long-term deal!"

"Oh? What kind of business?" Lin Wanqiu asked, very curious.

Liu Bei truthfully recounted the long-term fish supply agreement signed with the Hongxing Restaurant in the county town.

"So, from now on, you don't need to go yourself; you can just have Ha'er drag the fish over by himself?"

"Um."

"But is Ke Ha'er's brain...?" Lin Wanqiu gestured, "Suitable? Can you really entrust him with this alone?"

"It's alright!" Liu Bei said with a smile. "I only sell 100 jin of fish each day. I have a pretty good idea of ​​how much I can earn. If they try to cheat me, sorry, I'm out. The county town is so big, is Hongxing Restaurant the only place that needs fresh wild fish?"

"Besides, if they really dare to do that, I can use the contract as leverage and demand a penalty for breach of contract. That money would be free for us! We wouldn't suffer any loss whatsoever!"

"That's true, but what if—" Lin Wanqiu was still a little worried.

"Don't worry! Nothing will happen!" Liu Bei covered Lin Wanqiu's mouth. "Besides, do you really think Ha'er is a complete idiot? He can be a bit slow sometimes, but he's not stupid. On the contrary, sometimes he's even smarter than Dazhuang and Tan Si!"

After listening to these words, Lin Wanqiu thought about them carefully and felt that Liu Bei's words made some sense.

Fan Ha'er seems very silly on the surface.

But sometimes he's much smarter than many people in the village when he does things.

In addition, Fan Ha'er and Liu Bei grew up together, practically inseparable, and were the closest of buddies in the village.

It's reliable to entrust the work to him.

"Hmm. That makes sense. I'll do as you say. Let Ha'er handle it!" Lin Wanqiu agreed.

"That's more like it—" Liu Bei smiled and pressed his lips to hers, about to kiss her, but Lin Wanqiu stopped him.

"We've done that so many times already, isn't that enough?"

"not enough!"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Stop playing around. If you keep fooling around, what if Chunyan and Yuehe get up to use the outhouse and find us... that would be terrible. Get up now. If you stay in the water any longer, I'll get all swollen!"

"That's true." Liu Bei had no choice but to comply with Lin Wanqiu's suggestion. "Shall I help you get dressed?"

"You help me, and I'll help you!" Lin Wanqiu said.

"That would be perfect!" Liu Bei smiled mischievously and slowly helped Lin Wanqiu put on the clothes.

At the same time, Lin Wanqiu also dressed him.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Liu Bei accidentally bumped into something and it fell to the ground.

"Who's inside?" Just then, a voice came from outside.

"Oh no, it's Yuehe..." Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqiu's face turned anxious. She pointed outside and asked Liu Bei in a low voice, "What do we do?"

"Meow~ Meow~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Bei started meowing like a cat.

"It's a cat! I was almost scared to death!" Su Yuehe shook her head and walked into the outhouse.

Lin Wanqiu covered her mouth with one hand while giving Liu Bei a thumbs up.

Liu Bei chuckled softly a few times.

A moment later, the sound of a door opening came from the outhouse, followed by the sound of footsteps.

The sound grew farther and farther away.

It will disappear very quickly.

"Hoo hoo~"

Lin Wanqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest. "That was close! We almost got exposed! Luckily, you reacted quickly!"

"How about you reward me?" Liu Bei pointed to his face.

"You wish!" After saying that, Lin Wanqiu walked to the door, gently opened it a very narrow crack, observed the outside for a while, made a gesture to Liu Bei, and then slowly opened the door and walked out.

Liu Bei didn't move and stayed put.

He didn't get up and go out until he heard Lin Wanqiu stop moving.

really.

Lin Wanqiu had already entered her room.

There was still snoring coming from Zhao Chunyan's room.

He was clearly sleeping like a dead pig.

Although there was no snoring in Su Yuehe's room, it was also very quiet, so she must have been asleep.

In the mother's room, the three little ones were also snoring and sleeping soundly.

Liu Bei smiled with satisfaction.

What do men live for?

Isn't it all so that our families can have food to eat, milk to drink, money to spend every day, and a good night's sleep at night?

If you can't even sleep well, what's the point of living?

Especially the children,

The better you sleep, the faster you grow.

He quietly walked to his mother's room, poked a small hole in the window, and peeked out by the faint moonlight.

Although the mother was asleep, she didn't stop fanning her three grandsons with the palm-leaf fan, instinctively continuing to cool them down.

The three children are as follows: the eldest daughter, Panpan, sleeps on the outermost side; the youngest daughter sleeps in the middle; and the son, Xiaobao, sleeps next to his mother.

They were all sleeping very soundly.

Liu Bei could vaguely see his son, Xiao Bao, drooling.

"Is this kid dreaming about being breastfed?"
