Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Liu Bei asked, pretending not to know anything.

"At a time like this, are you still playing dumb with me?" The father-in-law roared angrily, pointing at Su Yuehe, "What did you do to my daughter last night? Don't you know perfectly well what you did to her?"

"I...I..." Liu Bei knew he couldn't hide it anymore after hearing those words.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? My daughter isn't even married yet, and you...you...you...you know what? If word gets out, where will we, the Su family, put our faces? Liu Bei, I'm telling you this now. If you don't give me an explanation, don't even think about leaving the Su family's house today!"

"That's right, don't even think about leaving the Su family's house until you give us an explanation!"

As she was speaking, Su Yuehe's four older sisters ran to the door and blocked the exit.

Her four brothers-in-law also surrounded her, blocking Liu Bei's escape route.

At that time, Liu Bei was practically trapped with no way to escape.

He said, "That's easy. Just get married."

Upon hearing this, the Su family was displeased.

The father-in-law's face turned ashen with anger as he questioned Liu Bei, "You think you can just call it a marriage? What about the bride price? How much? How many tables are you planning for the wedding banquet?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment and then asked his father-in-law how much dowry he wanted.

The father-in-law held up one finger and said, "Less than one hundred? Forget it!"

Liu Bei had just divorced Lin Wanqiu not long before.

He couldn't possibly come up with a hundred yuan, so he resorted to thuggery, "I don't have a hundred. But I can come up with twenty. If you accept, I'll bring the money to your door tomorrow to propose marriage. If you don't agree, I can only apologize. I have no money, but I have my life. Take it if you want!"

As soon as the words left his mouth,

The Su family was completely stunned.

Everyone looked at each other, bewildered and at a loss.

Because no one expected Liu Bei to act so unruly.

The father-in-law was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

I wish I could just grab a cleaver and chop Liu Bei up on the spot.

But he can't do that.

Once you do it, it's illegal.

At that time, not only will he go to jail, but his daughter Su Yuehe's reputation will also be ruined, and she will never be able to get married, which will be the end of her life.

For the sake of his daughter Su Yuehe, the father-in-law had to suppress his anger.

Finally, he negotiated with Liu Bei.

"eighty!"

"No, twenty it is, take it or leave it!"

"You...you..." The father-in-law was angry for a moment, then said, "Fine, I'll compromise again. Sixty. That's the lowest I can go!"

"I disagree. Twenty? Fine, we'll get married. If not, forget it. It's not like I'm the one who'll suffer!"

"you--"

Seeing Liu Bei's shameless and unyielding attitude, the father-in-law was at a loss.

I had to soften my tone and discuss it properly with Liu Bei.

No matter how they tried to negotiate, Liu Bei wouldn't budge, insisting on a maximum of twenty yuan, or else they'd give up.

That's not counting,

He even urged his father-in-law to take a knife and kill him.

That day, the father-in-law and Liu Bei argued for most of the day about the bride price, until dusk. Seeing that Liu Bei was stubborn and wouldn't budge, the father-in-law had no choice but to agree to Liu Bei's condition of twenty yuan as a bride price.

"Alright. Twenty for the bride price it is. And the banquet? How many tables does your Liu family plan to host?"

"Six tables, I guess. Six, it's for good luck!" Liu Bei said.

"Only six tables? Isn't that a bit too few? Your Liu family may not feel ashamed, but my Su family does!" Upon hearing that there were only six tables, the father-in-law turned pale with anger.

"Uncle, getting married costs money. Holding a banquet costs money too. My family has practically used up all our savings to scrape together twenty yuan. Six tables are already a great deal. Do you want more? I'm sorry, we don't have the money. We can't afford it. If you feel ashamed, then I'll tell you a way!"

"What method?" the father-in-law asked eagerly.

"We, the Liu family, will owe you the twenty yuan dowry for now. We'll use it for the wedding banquet. After the wedding, I'll go to work and earn the twenty yuan, then I'll pay you back. How about that?"

"What? You can owe the bride price?"

"Of course! If you're worried I won't honor the debt, I can give you an IOU!"

"..."

After hearing Liu Bei's words, the father-in-law's family realized that if they continued to discuss it, they would really be furious.

Left with no other choice, they had to agree to hold only six tables for the banquet.

After discussing everything, the father-in-law's family released Liu Bei that same day.

Sure enough, the next day, Liu Bei came to propose marriage with twenty yuan as a bride price and some gifts.

After going through the motions with the Su family and setting a date, I left.

More than half a month later, Liu Bei officially married Su Yuehe.

After setting up a simple banquet with six tables in the village, he and Su Yuehe consummated their marriage and had a child.

After their marriage, Liu Bei and Su Yuehe lived a very sweet life.

I thought things would continue to go smoothly.

Who knew that Su Yuehe would give birth to a daughter.

Liu Bei wanted a son and was dissatisfied with Su Yuehe. From then on, he became cold towards Su Yuehe and would occasionally lose his temper and beat Su Yuehe and his daughter Liu Nian.

Later, Su Yuehe couldn't bear it any longer, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to propose a divorce.

For the sake of her daughter, Su Yuehe had no choice but to agree to Liu Bei's request.

However, after the divorce, Su Yuehe chose the same path as Lin Wanqiu, remaining in the same household even after the divorce, and they have continued to live together ever since.

Now think about it,

Liu Bei felt that he was a terrible person back then.

At that time, he and Lin Wanqiu had only recently divorced.

He then met Su Yuehe and was captivated by her beauty.

In order to get Su Yuehe

He went so far as to have someone set a trap, staging a heroic rescue to win Su Yuehe's heart and gain her favor and trust.

Coupled with his sweet talk and relentless pursuit,

Su Yuehe quickly accepted Liu Bei and became his girlfriend.

From then on, the two became a perfect couple.

Whenever Su Yuehe finished get off work in town, Liu Bei would ask her to go shopping.

At that time, Liu Bei was a street urchin with no formal job.

It can be said that Liu Bei was fortunate to marry Su Yuehe, and he should treat Su Yuehe well for the rest of his life.

But Liu Bei didn't have that.

Before he had a son, he doted on Su Yuehe.

After giving birth to a daughter, Su Yuehe was plunged from heaven to hell.

He hurt Su Yuehe's heart too much.

Even so, Su Yuehe still stayed at home despite the divorce.

When the father-in-law and mother-in-law found out, they were so angry that they fainted on the spot.

After Su Yuehe's four older sisters and their husbands took the two elderly people to the hospital and settled them in, they went to their home to demand an explanation.

No matter how much Su Yuehe's four older sisters and brothers-in-law tried to persuade her,

Su Yuehe refused to leave no matter what and told them not to interfere.

The four older sisters and their husbands left in anger and disappointment.

When the father-in-law and mother-in-law heard about it, they were so angry they almost vomited blood.

After that, the father-in-law and mother-in-law never saw Su Yuehe again, nor did they want to see Liu Bei.

The two sides never spoke to each other again.

If it were still the same Liu Bei, perhaps nothing would change.

But Liu Bei is no longer the same Liu Bei he used to be.

Thinking back to that time,

He felt even more sorry for Su Yuehe, for making her suffer a great injustice.

So, he insisted on going to his mother-in-law's 60th birthday celebration.

When the time comes, I will not only take Su Yuehe with me, but also my youngest daughter Liu Nian, back in style.

To repair the relationship between Su Yuehe and her family.

He also needs to win back his father-in-law and mother-in-law's acceptance.

Let Su Yuehe stand up again in her parents' home.

She didn't want the Su family to speak ill of her behind her back, secretly calling her an ungrateful wretch, an unfilial daughter, and so on.
