Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Driving his tractor, Liu Bei didn't go straight home, but instead went to the forest farm to find Fan Erhe.

"Xiao Bei, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Fan Erhe was somewhat surprised to see Liu Bei arrive in a tractor.

"We haven't had any wild animals around in our forest lately. There's no game to hunt!"

"Director Fan, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to hunt today!" Liu Bei waved his hand. "I'm here to ask you for a favor!"

"Help? What is it? Just say it!" Fan Erhe was very straightforward.

"I want to get a new mode of transportation. For example, an old tractor, a motorcycle tricycle, or a horse-drawn carriage would also be fine," Liu Bei said.

"What? Buy a car?" Fan Erhe was slightly taken aback, frowning. "Didn't you already buy a bicycle and a pedicab? Isn't that enough? You want to buy more? Do you have too much money to burn?"

"No," Liu Bei explained, "I bought the bicycle and pedicab for Wanqiu, Chunyan, and Yuehe. They need them to deliver grasshoppers!"

"But yesterday, Ha'er and I signed a long-term fish business deal with the Hongxing Restaurant in the county town. Our village is dozens of miles from the county town, and riding a bicycle or a tricycle is too tiring. We're exhausted before we even get to the county town! So I want to buy a new means of transportation that will be easier!"

"Oh, I see!" Fan Erhe understood. "Tractors are a bit difficult for you to buy on your own. Motorcycle tricycles aren't too difficult, but you still need a permit. Horse-drawn carriages are the easiest to get, but they're the slowest and cheapest. Motorcycle tricycles are fast, but they use fuel, so they're a bit expensive. Which one do you want to buy?"

"Ha'er, do you think it's better to buy a motorcycle tricycle or a horse-drawn carriage?" Liu Bei asked Fan Ha'er.

From now on, it won't be him delivering the goods, it will be Fan Ha'er, and he needs to consult Fan Ha'er's opinion.

"Is the horse easy to ride?" Fan Ha'er asked after thinking for a moment.

"That depends on your skills!" Fan Erhe said.

"Then let's buy a carriage!" Fan Ha'er patted his chest. "If I can't even ride a horse, how am I supposed to sleep with women in the future?"

Liu Bei: "..."

He's obsessed; he's really obsessed with women.

If we don't let Fan Ha'er marry a young woman's sister, he'll really go crazy if he keeps holding back for too long.

Fan Erhe: "..."

His eyes widened in surprise.

Hey!

Is the idiot going to get married?

That's ambitious!

"Haha, Brother Ha'er has quite the ambition! I think it's a good idea! Brother Xiao Bei, how about buying a horse-drawn carriage? It would be nice to fulfill Brother Ha'er's dream!"

Liu Bei: "..."

What kind of dream does a fool have?

That kid is just obsessed with sleeping with women.

He needs to buy a horse so he can get married.

That's so extravagant.

"Okay. Let's buy horses then!" Liu Bei finally agreed.

It's because he and Ha'er grew up wearing the same pair of pants since they were little.

If my best friend wants to buy a horse, then go ahead and buy it.

It's just a matter of spending some money.

At worst, if it's spent, I can just earn it back.

Once the bond between brothers is lost, it can never be regained.

"Brother Bei, you're such a good brother Bei. I love you to death!"

As she spoke, Fan Ha'er would cup Liu Bei's face in her hands again.

"roll!"

Liu Bei saw through it at a glance and said something.

Like a startled cat, Fan Ha'er immediately withdrew his hand, scratched his head behind his head, and chuckled, "Hehe, I was too fast, too fast."

Liu Bei: "..."

She rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to that silly Fan Ha'er.

"Ahem~" Fan Erhe coughed a few times. "Since there are no objections, it's settled then. I'll let you know when I have more news."

"Okay. Thank you, Manager Fan!"

"We're all family, no need to be so polite. Why don't you stay for a meal?"

"No! I need to hurry back to return the tractor. If I'm late, Uncle Li will probably be angry!"

"Okay, then I won't stay there."

"Wait!"

……

After leaving the forest farm, Liu Bei drove his tractor back to Fanjiacun with Fan Ha'er in tow.

After returning the tractor and handing over the money that belonged to Fan Ha'er, Liu Bei carried his things home.

As soon as Liu Bei entered the courtyard, he saw that his mother was the only one there.

"Mother, where are the children?"

"You and Wanqiu went to catch grasshoppers and lobsters!"

"Oh." Liu Bei suddenly realized, showing off what he was holding. "Mom, look what this is?"

"Snacks? Belts? Liquor?" Zhao Da'e was taken aback, frowning. "Don't we already have these at home? Why did you buy them again?"

"It wasn't bought for my family. It was bought for Yuehe's parents!" Liu Bei explained.

"Hmm?" Zhao Da'e's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you about something like this? You'd better keep it safe. Don't let the three kids find out and eat it!" Liu Bei reminded him.

"Don't worry. I promise I won't let the three little brats find out I stole it!" Zhao Da'e took the food, her face beaming with joy.

"I mentioned it to you a couple of days ago, and I thought you'd already forgotten about it. Good thing you still remembered. Hmm. Not bad. But, I still feel like something's missing—"

"Mom, take another look at this." Liu Bei took out a box from his pocket, which looked very exquisite and beautiful.

"What is it?" Zhao Da'e asked curiously.

Liu Bei smiled and slowly opened the box.

Upon seeing a pair of silver bracelets inside, Zhao Da'e was stunned. "Silver...silver bracelets?"

"Hmm. Mother, do you think Yuehe will be happy if I give these silver bracelets to her mother?"

"Of course!"

"Since you've said so, Mother, it definitely will. When the time comes, as long as she's happy, hehe... Mother, get ready to hold your new grandson!"

"you mean--"

"You guessed right. I've already won over Wanqiu and Chunyan. Only Yuehe is left. Once I get her too, the next step is to start planning... you know what I mean. Mother, you understand?"

"Good, good, good. He's truly my son. He's got potential! I should have done this a long time ago!" Zhao Da'e's face lit up with delight upon hearing this.

All she longed for was for Liu Bei to give her more grandchildren soon.

But Liu Bei only talked the talk, without taking any action.

Now,

They've finally started taking action.

Her wish will soon come true, that's wonderful.

Seeing his mother's happy expression, Liu Bei suddenly recalled the scene when he dealt with Su Yuehe.

That night, it was still at Su Yuehe's mother's house.

According to custom, a son-in-law cannot sleep with his wife at his father-in-law's house; they must sleep separately.

But in the middle of the night, he still called Su Yuehe out. Su Yuehe couldn't refuse Liu Bei and didn't want to disappoint him, so she obediently agreed to Liu Bei's request. The two of them secretly ran to a haystack not far away and took care of things ahead of time.

Liu Bei thought the matter wouldn't leak out.

Who knew that the next day, his father-in-law and mother-in-law would call him over to the main room.

When he arrived, he found his four brothers-in-law were also there, and they were all standing on the side looking at him with very strange eyes.

When Su Yuehe's four older sisters looked at him, their eyes were filled with anger.

Su Yuehe, meanwhile, huddled in an inconspicuous corner, her head bowed, too ashamed to look at him.

Everything seemed wrong.

really,

"Snapped!"

The next moment, the father-in-law slammed his hand on the table and shouted,

"Liu Bei, look what you've done!!!"
