Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"I'm an old man, so it doesn't matter to me. As long as I can live here, that's fine. As for the rest, let's hear what my three daughters-in-law have to say!"

Upon hearing the words "my three daughters-in-law," Lin Wanqiu, Su Yuehe, and Zhao Chunyan were immediately touched.

Since the divorce but not the separation, he has continued to live with the Liu family.

Although Zhao Da'e still considered the three of them as family,

But they never mentioned to outsiders that the three of them were Liu's wives.

But today, Zhao Da'e mentioned it to the carpenter Fan Guoxiang.

Moreover, Old Tan and his men were also around.

For the three of them, it was a public acknowledgment.

The three of them were deeply moved.

"Mother, you should decide!" Lin Wanqiu said at the right time.

"No. It's your room, you decide what to do. Tell me your requirements. Otherwise, if the furniture isn't to your liking after it's finished, it'll be too late to regret it."

Zhao Da'e waved her hand and said.

"Well—" Lin Wanqiu, Su Yuehe, and Zhao Chunyan looked at each other, still somewhat hesitant.

Liu Bei suddenly spoke up, "Listen to your mother. Just tell Guoxiang what you like now. If you don't tell her now, don't blame us if you don't like it after it's finished!"

"Okay! I'll tell you!" Lin Wanqiu was the first to nod after hearing this. "Uncle Guoxiang, it's like this. I don't have many requests. Just make me a cabinet, a dressing table, and a sturdy wooden bed. Oh, right, also make an extra table and a small armchair. That's all I need."

"That's it?" Fan Guoxiang hadn't expected Lin Wanqiu's request to be so simple. He looked at Liu Bei, "Xiao Bei, look—"

Liu Bei was somewhat curious. "Wanqiu, you haven't mentioned enough. Think about it again!"

"No!" Lin Wanqiu shook her head. "Earning money isn't easy. Playing too much is a waste of money. Let's save where we can!"

"Save some money?" Zhao Chunyan frowned. "Then why did you order an extra table and a small chair? Isn't that redundant?"

Lin Wanqiu explained, "I'm preparing this for my child. What if she wants to come to my room to do her homework after she starts school? She'll need a table and a chair, won't she?"

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

She moved her lips, but couldn't utter a single word, so she obediently shut her mouth, because she knew she was in the wrong.

Zhao Da'e was very satisfied.

The eldest daughter-in-law is indeed the eldest daughter-in-law.

Virtuous!

Liu Bei was deeply moved.

Lin Wanqiu truly deserves to be called a virtuous wife and loving mother.

No matter what, the first thing I think of is my children and family.

She was last in line.

Such a woman is definitely a woman who brings good fortune to her husband.

So many people would kill for it!

In his past life, he clearly obtained it, but he simply didn't cherish it.

The more this was the case, the more he felt that he had been a truly despicable person in his past life.

It's terrible.

His feelings of guilt towards Lin Wanqiu deepened.

"Alright. Let's do as Wanqiu says. But, there's one more condition!"

"Xiao Bei, what do you want to add?" Fan Guoxiang asked.

"The wooden bed must be made into a double bed. The headboard will be carved with images of me and Wanqiu! This symbolizes that this bed belongs solely to Wanqiu and me, and no one else is allowed to touch it!"

"Um?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Lin Wanqiu's eyes brightened slightly.

She never expected Liu Bei to make such a request.

This proves that she holds a very, very important place in Liu Bei's heart.

She was excited, happy, and joyful.

"Yes. Xiao Bei is right. Let's play it this way!" Zhao Da'e was very satisfied with her son's suggestion and was the first to agree.

"Okay. I've got it! Anything else?" Fan Guoxiang asked.

"That's all." Liu Bei shook his head, then looked at Su Yuehe, "Yuehe, what about you? Tell us too!"

"I...I..." Su Yuehe hesitated for a moment, "Could I be like Sister Wanqiu?"

"Of course you can. But I suggest you think carefully about what you like before you say anything. Otherwise, once the furniture is made, you won't be able to change it if you want to!" Liu Bei sincerely advised.

"Well... then I'll mention it!" Su Yuehe thought for a moment, "I don't ask for much. Carve the moon and lotus flowers on the wooden bed. Also, carve lotus flowers around the mirror on the dressing table. And the wardrobe, carve it to depict a full moon on the fifteenth of the lunar month, with moonlight shining on a pond, lotus flowers blooming, tadpoles swimming, and frogs croaking. Is that... alright?"

"So complicated?" Zhao Chunyan pouted, thinking Su Yuehe was being a bit pretentious.

It's just a few pieces of furniture, why make it look like a painting, all fancy and over-the-top?

Su Yuehe nodded slightly, "Is...is that alright?"

"Of course. Uncle Guoxiang, let's do it as Yuehe suggested!" Liu Bei agreed.

"Okay. Got it. Chunyan, what about you? How do you want to play?" Fan Guoxiang asked Zhao Chunyan again.

"Me?" Zhao Chunyan thought for a moment, resting her chin on her hand. "Make the bed bigger and sturdier, preferably big enough to support five men jumping around on it."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei and the others looked over, somewhat puzzled.

Liu Bei asked, "Chunyan, how can you withstand five men jumping around in bed?"

"If we can't hold on, where will we sleep if the bed collapses? Are we supposed to sleep on the floor?" Zhao Chunyan retorted.

Liu Bei: "..."

She paused, then said, "Why didn't you say ten men?"

"Ten?" Zhao Chunyan rolled her eyes. "You'd have to have the power to do that!"

"Pfft~"

Upon hearing this, Tan Si and Li Dazhuang burst out laughing.

"Cough cough~"

Old Tan and several other old men also started coughing.

Lin Wanqiu raised her eyebrows very high.

Su Yuehe was stunned for a moment, then half of her face flushed red.

Zhao Da'e hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Liu Bei was extremely embarrassed.

This Zhao Chunyan is such a big mouth.

How could you talk about those things between husband and wife in front of outsiders?

Don't you know that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public?

Besides, is he really not as strong as ten men?

Are you kidding me?

A man is only capable, never incapable.

No way, they're all eunuchs, not men!

"Ahem~" Fan Guoxiang coughed a few times. "Uh... Chunyan, do you have any other requests? If so, please continue!"

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Zhao Chunyan continued, "The dressing table shouldn't be too fancy. Just something that can be used to comb hair is fine. As for the wardrobe, it just needs to be able to hold clothes. I'm not picky about that! But I have one extra piece of furniture that needs to be made. That piece of furniture is absolutely essential!"

"Oh, what kind of furniture?" Fan Guoxiang asked.

Zhao Chunyan gave Liu Bei a few extra glances and said, "Make me an extra soft whip!"

"A soft whip?"

Everyone was stunned by these words.

Why use a soft whip in the morning when everything is fine?

Fan Guoxiang asked curiously, "Niece Chunyan, what do you need the soft whip for?"

Zhao Chunyan stroked her chin. "What else can it be used for?"

As she spoke, she pointed at Liu Bei and said, "Of course, it's because he disobeyed me, so I just slapped him!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Li Dazhuang, Tan Si, and the others were all stunned, their mouths agape, and an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces...
