Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Of course you can. But..." Fan Ha'er glanced at Old Li and said, "Uncle Li, I heard everything you just said. If you want me to teach you how to conquer a horse, you'd better eat that pile of chicken poop first!"

"Old Li, did you hear me? Hurry up and eat!"

"You can't go back on your word!"

"Hurry up!"

"Haha~"

Old Li: "..."

His face fell, he was so embarrassed, he quickly turned around and ran home.

"Uncle Ye, would you like to learn how to tame horses too?"

Fan Ha'er glanced at Old Ye, a villager.

"No, I don't want to think about it anymore!" With a wave of his hand, Old Ye hurriedly ran towards his own home, afraid that if he was too slow, Fan Ha'er would pester him and not let him go.

"Haha~"

As they watched Old Ye's disheveled figure leave, the surrounding villagers burst into laughter.

"Brother Bei, what's the name of the white and brown horse?" Fan Ha'er asked Liu Bei.

"Let's call him Xiaobai!" Liu Bei pondered for a moment.

"Huh? Little White?" Fan Ha'er frowned, looked at the white-brown horse, shook his head in disagreement, "It doesn't sound good."

"So what do you want to be called?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

"It's clearly whitish-brown, so calling it 'Little White' is definitely inappropriate. In my opinion, we should just call it 'White and Black'!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Isn't it brown?

Why did it turn black?

"Brother Bei, is your horse famous? If not, I suggest naming it Big Black!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Why is it called Big Black?

"Don't you already have a little black dog? How can you still call it 'Little Black'? Besides, a black horse is much bigger than a little black dog. What else should we call it if not 'Big Black'?"

Liu Bei: "..."

That seems to make sense.

He paused for a moment, then stroked the black horse's mane. "Do you like being called Big Black?"

"Hiss~" Darkness immediately shook its head and hissed, clearly not liking the name Big Black.

"You don't like it?" Fan Ha'er raised his eyebrows. "Oh, Brother Bei, why don't you just call her 'girl'?"

Liu Bei: "..."

Black lines appeared on his forehead.

Back in the 1990s, when Hong Kong movies were popular, many people adopted the Hong Kong and Macau way of speaking and called other people's girlfriends "ma zi" (马子).

If he really calls Heima "Ma Zi," wouldn't that mean Heima is Liu Bei's girlfriend?

That's outrageous!

"If you can't come up with a name, then shut up!"

Liu Bei was stumped. After thinking it over carefully, he decided, "Let's call it Ma Yun! It means good fortune will come soon!"

"A lucky horse? Good fortune coming right away?"

Upon hearing the name, Fan Dahai was the first to raise his hand, "Great name. Let's call him Ma Yun!"

"Hmm. That's a good name. Let's call him Ma Yun!"

"Good luck!"

"Good luck!"

……

Immediately, the surrounding villagers all agreed.

Liu Bei stroked the black horse's mane again. "Did you hear that? Everyone agrees. From today onwards, your name is Ma Yun. Come and transport things right away!"

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, the black horse raised its head and neighed loudly, sounding very happy.

Liu Bei looked at Fan Ha'er, "Ha'er, did you hear that? It likes Ma Yun!"

"Alright. Ma Yun it is. Anyway, my horse is named Bai Jia Hei! It works during the day and works at night. Isn't that a nice name!"

"..."

Hey!

This is treating the white-brown horse like livestock.

Liu Bei was speechless.

"You handle it!" Liu Bei sighed. "I'm going back now. Everyone, keep playing!"

"Hey, I didn't say anything bad about you. Teach me how to ride a horse, okay?"

"Want to learn? Where's the tuition? I had to pay tuition to learn how to make dolls from Brother Bei. If you want to ride horses, you'll have to pay tuition first!"

"You still need to pay tuition? How much do you want?"

"Not much, just one piece!"

"What? One dollar? Are you robbing me?"

"You think that's too much? Even a penny is fine! As long as you pay, it's okay!"

……

Liu Bei: "..."

That brat Fan Ha'er actually took the opportunity to make money.

What exactly did he do wrong?

He's even smarter than him, okay?

He deliberately turned around and took a look.

Good heavens, someone actually paid a penny to learn how to ride a horse from Fan Ha'er!

One, two, three...

I counted them initially, and there are 11 in total, which is one yuan each.

Although not many,

But it's free money too.

If this is considered foolish, even a ghost wouldn't believe it.

If anyone ever calls Fan Ha'er a fool again, Fan Ha'er will make a fortune off them.

No, it's about swindling him out of money.

It was something he would never forget.

……

Three minutes later, at the Liu family's house.

When Liu Bei appeared riding a tall black horse

The three children were playing hide-and-seek at the door.

Liu Nian, blindfolded, was reaching out and grabbing at things haphazardly.

The eldest daughter, Panpan, and the son, Liu Bao, hid under a tree and behind a wall, keeping quiet so that their son, Xiao Bao, wouldn't find them.

When Panpan and Liu Nian both saw Liu Bei appear riding a tall black horse...

The two little girls stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Horse... horse!"

"What a dark horse!"

"Did Dad ride it back?"

"It really was Dad who rode it back!"

Panpan and Liu Nian were surprised for a moment, then ran towards the black horse almost at the same time.

"Daddy, where did that horse come from?" The eldest daughter, Panpan, asked curiously, looking up at her.

"It was a gift from a grandfather!" Liu Bei jumped off the black horse.

"How is it? Pretty, isn't it?"

"Mmm. It's so beautiful! I love it!"

"Would you like to try riding it?"

"Dad, can I...can I do it?" Panpan asked, somewhat incredulous.

The black horse was too tall for her, and she was a little scared to ride it.

"Of course!" Liu Bei picked up Panpan and placed her on the black horse's back.

"Daddy, I want to ride a horse too! I want to ride a horse too!" Seeing that her older sister had already gotten on, the younger daughter, Liu Nian, grabbed Liu Bei's hand and begged.

"Okay, okay. My Niannian will ride too, she can ride with her sister!" Liu Bei picked up his youngest daughter, Niannian, and put her on the black horse.

"Yay! I'm riding a horse too! I'm riding a horse too!"

Hearing his sisters' happy voices, Xiao Bao curiously pulled off the black cloth.

When he saw a tall, enormous black horse appear in front of him, he immediately burst into tears.

"Waaah~"

Xiao Bao cried very hard.

"Xiao Bao, why are you crying again?"

Upon hearing the crying, Zhao Da'e walked out of the courtyard with displeasure.

When she saw a black horse in front of her, with Panpan and Liu Nian sitting on it, she was also stunned.

"Where did the black horse come from? Did you buy it from Da Liushan Forest Farm?"

"It wasn't a purchase! It was a free gift! They even gave us two!"

Liu Bei explained.

"What? This huge black horse is a gift for you? And they gave you two?"

"Yes. When I went there, there was a wild boar swarm. I helped them out. Their ranch manager gave me two horses as a reward!"

"It's free! Great, that's wonderful! Oh, right, didn't you say you gave me two? Why is there only one? Where's the other one? Let me ride it too!"

As she spoke, Zhao Chunyan looked around, trying to find the white-brown horse.

"Don't even think about riding it. I gave it to Ha'er. Guess what that kid did after he got it?"

"What can a fool like him do?"

"Going to make money with horses!"

"What? Make money with horses? How?"

"I'm teaching people how to ride horses! It's one cent per person. I've already collected tuition from eleven people!"

"..."
