Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

What a fool! He actually knows how to make money.

Zhao Chunyan refused to believe anything she said.

"Are you kidding me? I don't believe you!"

"If you don't believe me, why don't you go and take a look at the threshing ground?"

"Fine. You better not lie to me. Otherwise, hmph..." Zhao Chunyan deliberately glared fiercely at Liu Bei's crotch, "I'll make sure you never get a break!"

Liu Bei "..."

Watching Zhao Chunyan's departing figure, for some reason, I felt a chill in my crotch.

"Are you crazy?"

Shaking his head, Liu Bei ignored him and picked up his son, Xiao Bao.

"Don't cry, little one. Daddy will carry you on his back!"

Strangely enough, as soon as Liu Bao was put on the horse, he stopped crying.

He kept shouting, "Giddy up, giddy up..."

Liu Bei: "..."

That kid, just like his mother, is really fickle.

"Liu Bei is back. What a beautiful black horse! How much did it cost?"

Suddenly, Lin Wanqiu came out and looked at the pure black horse with great satisfaction.

"It didn't cost any money. It was a gift from Director Shi!"

Liu Bei briefly recounted the story of killing the wild boar king. Lin Wanqiu said, "Oh, I see. But raising horses is very expensive. We have horses for hauling fish. What can the black horse, no, the horse transporter, do? We can't keep it around all day doing nothing, can we?"

"It's alright. Let's keep it for now. We'll need it someday!" Liu Bei said nonchalantly.

"Fine, you're the head of the household, what you say goes!" Lin Wanqiu caught a glimpse of Zhao Chunyan's departing figure out of the corner of her eye. "Where is Chunyan going this time?"

"What else could she be doing? She didn't believe Ha'er could make money off horses, so she went to check! Just ignore her. Do you want to ride a horse too? If you do, I'll carry you up!"

"Oh? No need, no need. Let the children ride and play!"

Lin Wanqiu felt it was inappropriate for them to be hugging and cuddling in broad daylight, especially in front of the children.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Liu Bei picked her up in his arms.

"Yay, Daddy's hugging Mommy!" The eldest daughter, Panpan, immediately clapped.

"Daddy's hugging Grandma!"

"Daddy's carrying Grandma!"

The youngest daughter, Liu Nian, and her son, Xiao Bao, joined their older sister, Panpan, in clapping and cheering.

"See? The kids can't wait!"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

It was a little awkward, but I was also very happy.

She watched helplessly as Liu Bei picked her up and placed her on the horse's back.

"Liu Bei, Ma Yun must be very heavy. Let's put me down!"

"It's Horse King. It's alright! Ma Yun, take Wanqiu and the three kids for a few laps around the village. Remember, don't run too fast!"

"Hiss~" The black horse raised its head and neighed a few times before trotting slowly with Lin Wanqiu and the three children on its back.

Before long, Ma Yun caught up with Lin Wanqiu and ran past her.

"Huh? Isn't that the dark horse? Why did it pass by?"

"Huh? Wait, why is Lin Wanqiu sitting up there?"

"Damn it, Liu Bei, you shameless bastard! It's not even dark yet, and you've already let that bitch Lin Wanqiu ride a horse! I'm not finished with you! No way. If that bitch Lin Wanqiu can ride a horse, I can ride one too! I'm going to ride it for a good three hundred rounds, otherwise it won't be worth it!"

As they were talking, Zhao Chunyan caught up with them.

"That swallow, it really is—"

Shaking his head, Liu Bei didn't know what to say.

"Liu Bei, you're back!"

Just as he was shaking his head in silence, Su Yuehe came out.

"It's Yuehe! Why did you take so long to come out? If you had come out earlier, I would have carried you onto the horse!"

"Mount up?" Su Yuehe stared blankly at the departing black horse for a moment, then understood Liu Bei's meaning, shook her head, and said, "Never mind. I'm afraid of heights!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Why would a horse be afraid of something so tall?

Are you afraid of me?

However, Liu Bei didn't say these words aloud.

"Yuehe, in a few days—"

"My mother's birthday is in a few days. I was thinking that—"

"Don't worry. Didn't I tell you? I'll bring you and Niannian back with me."

"But I'm a little worried!" Su Yuehe said with a troubled expression.

"What are you worried about?" Liu Bei stepped forward and hugged Su Yuehe.

Su Yuehe tried to break free, but when she smelled the strong, familiar masculine scent emanating from Liu Bei, she didn't struggle. She slowly said, "Last time you hit my cousin Su Dashan. I'm worried that when we get back, he'll take the opportunity to cause trouble! You'll be in trouble then."

"Are you worried about that good-for-nothing Su Dashan?" Liu Bei didn't take it to heart at all. "Yuehe, don't worry. If Su Dashan knows what's good for him, he'll stay out of trouble. But if he really dares to cause trouble, hehe—"

Liu Bei kicked a chair that was flying, shouting, "I'll make sure he loses everything!"

"A complete disaster?" Su Yuehe didn't quite understand. "What do you mean?"

"To be childless and without descendants. Do you understand?"

Su Yuehe: "..."

She immediately understood, her face flushing red on one side. "Wouldn't that be...not quite right?"

"What's wrong with that?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows into crescent moons. "In this world, no one but you and me can bully you. If he dares to cause trouble again, I'll make him regret ever being born!"

Su Yuehe: "..."

How domineering!

Is this the man she chose?

He has changed so much compared to the person he used to be.

It was so big that she felt like she was living in a fairy tale, it didn't feel real at all.

But reality told her that what she was seeing was not a fairy tale, but real, truly real.

"Okay. I believe you! It's nothing, I... I'll go back to my room now!"

"It's not dark yet, why go back to your room? Stay with me a little longer!" Seeing Su Yuehe trying to break free, Liu Bei immediately pulled her tighter.

"It's daytime. Stop fooling around! It won't look good if the villagers see!" Su Yuehe still tried to break free from Liu Bei's embrace.

"You mean tonight is okay?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.

"Ah?" Su Yuehe's neck immediately became burning hot.

She never said that.

She shook her head repeatedly, "You...you've misunderstood. I...I didn't say that."

As she spoke, Su Yuehe used all her strength to push Liu Bei away, then swayed and staggered into her room.

"Bang!"

After hearing the door close, Liu Bei sniffed the lingering scent of Su Yuehe in the air, and a smile appeared on his face.

"We've been married for so long, why are you still shy!"

"Alright. Since Yuehe wants to play the role of a teenage girl, I'll play the role of a teenage boy with you!"

"I refuse to believe that once I win back my father-in-law and mother-in-law's favor, you still won't let me into your home!"

Thinking about that day that was coming soon, Liu Bei's smile became even brighter.

"Boom~"

Suddenly, a sharp rap on the forehead struck Liu Bei, instantly snapping him back to reality.

"Who hit me?"

What do you think?!

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei took a closer look.

The one who hit him was none other than his mother, Zhao Da'e.

"Mother, it's you!"

"Why can't it be me?" Zhao Da'e rolled her eyes. "Yuehe ran into the room again. What did you do to provoke her and make her angry?"

"Hehe..." Liu Bei looked around, then leaned close to his mother's ear, "Mom, I'm not stupid. Why would I provoke her? I just told her..."

"You really told her that, kid?"

"Um!"

"You, you were born a bad seed. How could your father and I have given birth to such a wicked child?"

Liu Bei: "..."

"But being a little bad is good. If it's a little bad, your mother can hold a few more grandsons!"

"..."
