Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Okay!"

Fan Ha'er rubbed his hands together and walked towards the white-brown horse.

Villager A: "Can Ha'er conquer it?"

Villager B: "Shh! Keep your voice down. Don't let Liu Bei hear... I don't think he's good enough!"

Villager C: "I think so too! If he can conquer a horse, I'll eat that pile of chicken poop over there!"

Villager Ding: "Yeah, even a fool like him can tame a horse. I'd not only eat chicken poop, I'd even call him 'Dad'!"

"..."

……

Some villagers around whispered among themselves, all of whom were pessimistic about Fan Ha'er's chances.

They highly approve of Liu Bei.

That's because Liu Bei's prestige was entirely earned through his own hard work and battles.

It has long been recognized by several villages along the Zhangjia Lake.

But Fan Ha'er was different.

He's an idiot.

He often speaks without thinking, which frequently leads to some embarrassing situations.

For example, he frequently brings up the fact that his parents fight in bed in public.

They were completely unaware of what they had done wrong.

For example, he would often say that he wanted to be like Liu Bei and have 666 babies.

That's 666 dolls!

How to give birth?

Even a sow couldn't produce that many offspring, right?

Let alone people?

Other than that,

There was another matter that made them somewhat dissatisfied with Fan Ha'er.

That is, Fan Ha'er often secretly watched at night.

Fan Ha'er had secretly watched many of the men and women in the village.

If it weren't for the fact that social customs weren't fully open in 1981,

Family scandals should not be aired in public. They were angry and dissatisfied in private, but on the surface they could only endure it and pretend that nothing had happened.

Moreover, Fan Ha'er is an idiot. Even if he says it publicly, no one will believe that an idiot is telling the truth. They will just think he is talking nonsense and won't take it seriously.

Otherwise, Fan Ha'er would have been beaten by the villagers countless times long ago.

As various contradictions accumulated,

Some villagers had no expectations of Fan Ha'er and were not optimistic about him.

at this time,

Fan Ha'er walked step by step to the white and brown horse.

The white-brown horse probably also realized that Fan Ha'er was a fool.

The horse's head was held very high.

He didn't even glance at Fan Ha'er. Anyone with eyes could see that it would be much more difficult for Fan Ha'er to conquer the white-brown horse.

Suddenly, Fan Ha'er turned his head, pointed to the black horse under Liu Bei's legs, and said to the white-brown horse,

"Do you know who's on that black horse?"

"That's my brother. We've been inseparable since we were little!"

"My brother can ride on it, so you have to let me ride on it too!"

"Or else, hehe—"

Fan Ha'er roared, "You believe me? I'll have my brother shoot me dead!"

The villagers: "..."

They looked at each other, shook their heads, and were speechless.

Those villagers who had no expectations, in particular, sneered.

Liu Bei: "..."

They had no choice but to cover their eyes.

"Hey, hey, I told you to tame the white-brown horse, what are you doing?"

"If you can't speak, then don't speak, okay?"

"How embarrassing!"

"Hiss~" Just then, the white-brown horse lowered its raised head and stretched out towards Fan Ha'er, and then—

He pressed his face against Fan Ha'er's.

"..."

For a moment, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"How is this possible? The white-brown horse is actually cheek-to-cheek with Fan Ha'er?"

"Holy crap! Does this count as a conquest?"

"If that counts, Old Li, you'd better go eat chicken poop!"

"Aren't you the same? No. Besides wanting to eat, you also have to call him 'Dad'!"

"Pah! Don't talk nonsense. It was just a face-to-face contact, I didn't actually ride on it. To truly conquer someone, you have to ride them and not get thrown off!"

"Yes, yes, it's just a face-to-face contact, I haven't even ridden on it yet, it doesn't count!"

……

The villagers chimed in with their own opinions.

Liu Bei was slightly surprised.

"That's it? Easier than me? How is that possible?"

"Lower it!" But at that moment, Fan Ha'er spoke again to the white-brown horse.

Then--

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the white-brown horse actually lowered its body slightly.

"What a fine horse!"

Fan Ha'er smiled, patted the white-brown horse's head, grabbed its mane, and climbed onto its back.

"Did you really ride it?"

"Holy crap. Old Li, are you really going to win...?"

"Eat what? He's just riding on it; he only passes if he doesn't get thrown off!"

"Yes, yes, we have to make sure we don't get left behind!"

……

These words had barely left his mouth when

Fan Ha'er stroked the white-brown horse's mane. "Giddy up! Let's go to my brother Bei's place!"

"Hiss!"

After neighing a few times, the white-brown horse walked step by step toward Liu Bei and the black horse.

Throughout the journey, it remained calm, never lost its temper, and never made a move to throw Fan Ha'er away.

He steadily carried Fan Ha'er to Liu Bei and the black horse.

quiet!

quiet!

quiet!

For a moment, the scene was completely silent, and everyone's face showed disbelief.

The village's undisputed fool actually managed to tame the white-brown horse.

Without any effort,

He simply said a few light words, and the white-brown horse obediently submitted.

What the hell!

How is that possible?

"Old Li, you can really go eat now! Haha..."

Old Li: "..."

His old face was covered in bruises, and he lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"And you, Old Ye, not only do you want to eat, but you also have to call Ha'er 'Dad,' hahaha..."

Old Ye: "..."

His face looked even worse than Old Li's, and he covered his face with his hands, too ashamed to show it to anyone.

Liu Bei looked at Fan Ha'er riding his white-brown horse safely and unharmed, his face filled with disbelief.

After careful consideration, he finally understood why Fan Ha'er could conquer the white-brown horse so effortlessly.

Fan Ha'er benefited from his influence.

No, to be precise, they borrowed the momentum from him and the dark horse.

The white horse was afraid of the black horse, and the black horse was afraid of him. Fan Ha'er said Liu Bei was his brother.

The white-brown horse, being intelligent and perceptive, naturally tried to curry favor with Fan Ha'er after hearing this.

There was only one goal: not to offend Liu Bei, otherwise Liu Bei would be unhappy, and Black Horse would be unhappy too.

The dark horse was unhappy, and it was about to have a hard time.

In order to have a few days of peace in the future, it naturally had to submit to Fan Ha'er.

"Everyone says this kid is a fool. I think he's not a fool at all. He's actually quite wise."

"Just look at how he knows how to leverage external resources; many people in the village aren't as good as him!"

"Brother Bei, how about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? I said I could conquer the horse, and I definitely can."

Fan Ha'er smugly boasted about his own actions.

"It's alright. Starting tomorrow, you can use it to carry you and haul the fish to the county town!"

"Hmm~" Fan Ha'er was very happy after hearing this.

From now on, he won't need to borrow a tractor anymore; he'll have his own car.

Although it was just a horse-drawn carriage,

But a horse-drawn carriage is still a vehicle.

As long as it works and can be turned on, that's fine.

Once I've saved enough money, I can buy a new car later.

"Alright. You and the white-brown horse can continue your conversation and deepen your bond. I'm going home now! Everyone, you can all go home!"

"Let's disperse!"

"Let's disperse!"

"Hey kid, congratulations on getting a car!"

"Wow, that's awesome! You're better than me!"

"Hey, when will you teach me how to tame a horse?"

"..."
