Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Mother, there are still three days left, right? We can still make it back from hunting tomorrow, don't worry!" Liu Bei smiled. "Besides, what's the point of hunting? Isn't it to earn more money?"

"Okay. As long as you understand!" Zhao Da'e said, relieved. But then she changed the subject, "There's one more thing you can't be careless about!"

"I know what you're going to say. It's about Yuehe's mother's sixtieth birthday. Mother, I know! I won't miss it! After we get back from hunting and register Panpan for school, I'll go to the Su family ahead of time. I'll bring a whole pig with me!"

"Dragging pigs?" Zhao Da'e was slightly taken aback, then smiled. "Yes. That would be perfect. The Su family will definitely look at you with new respect then."

"That's for sure!" Liu Bei nodded.

"Oh, right, you took the two bottles of liquor you bought for Yuehe's father last time to the Party Secretary. When you take Panpan to town, remember to buy two more bottles."

Zhao Da'e gave Liu Bei a special reminder.

"Yes, I will! Don't worry, Mother!"

"That's more like it!"

The mother and son chatted and laughed as they walked home hand in hand.

Behind her, Lin Wanqiu gave Zhao Chunyan a cold glance, then turned her head away and didn't speak to Zhao Chunyan the rest of the way.

Zhao Chunyan didn't bother with Lin Wanqiu and turned her face away as well.

Seeing the way Lin Wanqiu and Zhao Chunyan didn't get along, Su Yuehe had a headache the whole way.

But she didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only silently lower her head and follow her home.

There are three children.

Panpan is the oldest and the most sensible.

Seeing the three mothers' expressions, she felt helpless and pretended not to see anything. She pulled her younger sister and brother along behind, playing as they walked.

A few minutes later,

The Liu family finally returned to their doorstep and saw the black horse sleeping.

"stop!!!"

suddenly,

A shout came from the side.

Liu Bei looked in the direction of the sound.

But then Fan Ha'er returned in a white and brown horse-drawn carriage.

After the carriage stopped,

Fan Ha'er strode over, held out the money, and said, "Brother Bei, this is your share!"

"Why would I give it to you? Give it to your sister-in-law Wanqiu!"

Liu Bei gave him a look.

"Oh, right, right!" Fan Ha'er immediately handed the money to Lin Wanqiu, "Sister-in-law, here you go!"

"Thank you!" Lin Wanqiu took the money and put it in her pocket.

"Hey, how's things at the Red Star Restaurant? Anything unusual?"

"No!" Fan Ha'er shook his head.

"That's good. It's nothing, you can go back now. Continue delivering tomorrow!"

"But when I passed by Dazhuang's house, he said you're going to take them hunting in the mountains tomorrow! I... I want to go too!" Fan Ha'er said, scratching his head.

"No way!" Liu Bei refused outright. "If you go up the mountain too, who will deliver the fish? Your current task is to deliver the fish. Once you're familiar with the business, I'll open up some new business opportunities, and then I'll hire a few more people to deliver them. You'll be in charge of supervising them. Be their team leader!"

"To be...to be the team leader? That's...that's an official position only the government can appoint. I...I'm not qualified, am I?"

Liu Bei: "..."

He shook his head. "Not the team leader. He's the team leader in charge of delivering the fish. Basically, he's in charge of people. You get the idea!"

"Oh, it's different. It's just that you're an official, sir. So, does that mean I'm an official too?"

"Hmm. I guess so!"

"Haha, I'm going to be an official too! I'm going to be an official too! Okay. I'll listen to you, Brother Bei. I won't go hunting. I'll just focus on delivering fish! And wait to become an official!"

Fan Ha'er was very happy.

"Okay. Go back and rest. Remember to deliver the fish again tomorrow. When you deliver them, don't forget to keep a close eye on the Red Star Restaurant. If anything seems amiss, be sure to tell me as soon as you get back!"

"Okay. I got it. Brother Bei. You three sisters-in-law, have fun. I'll head back now!"

Fan Ha'er ran towards the carriage on his toes, jumped on, and sat down.

"Giddy up! Time to go home!"

Soon, Fan Ha'er drove away in his carriage.

Zhao Chunyan walked over, raising her eyebrows. "Aren't you really worried that Ha'er will make a mistake?"

"He's my brother. What am I worried about? If he really did something wrong, he can correct it. What's there to be afraid of? What I'm really afraid of is that he won't do it!"

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

He fell into deep thought, carefully considering the words of the man before him.

"Alright, go do what you're supposed to do."

After saying that, Liu Bei mounted his black horse.

"Liu Bei, where are you going?"

Lin Wanqiu was curious.

"Let's go for a ride on horseback! Late Autumn, are you coming?"

Are you going or not?

"go!"

"Come on up!" Liu Bei grabbed Lin Wanqiu's wrist, pulled her up, and placed her in front of him.

"Let's go!"

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, the black horse galloped away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Um?"

"Running so fast?"

"I haven't even gone up yet!"

"Liu Bei, you stop right there! I want to ride a horse for a bit too!"

However, Zhao Chunyan was disappointed.

Because the dark horse has disappeared without a trace.

All that remained were clouds of dust kicked up by the black horse as it galloped.

"Damn it!" Zhao Chunyan stomped her foot, very unhappy.

"Yuehe, aren't you going to stop him?"

Su Yuehe shrank back. "I...I don't want to wander around. Why...why stop him?"

"You—" Zhao Chunyu exclaimed angrily, pointing at Su Yuehe, "You, you, what can I even say about you?"

"You don't actually think Lin Wanqiu and Liu Bei are just going for a stroll, do you?"

"Isn't that right?" Su Yuehe asked, somewhat puzzled.

Zhao Chunyan leaned closer. "Are you stupid? A lone man and a lone woman, riding a black horse, heading out into the wild. What do you think will happen once they've gone a bit further and found some bushes in the wild?"

"What will happen?" Su Yuehe still didn't quite understand and asked in return.

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

I'm so angry my head is about to explode.

idiot!

So stupid!

"What...what's wrong with your head? What could a lone man and woman possibly do in the wild, in the bushes? Think about it carefully!!!"

"What can you do with it? Pull up weeds to play with?"

Su Yuehe thought for a moment and said.

"You—you're driving me crazy! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Zhao Chunyan was furious and turned to walk into the courtyard.

She found that talking to Su Yuehe was really, really tiring.

It's like casting pearls before swine.

If you keep talking, she'll get so angry she'll die.

That damn Liu Bei,

Lin Wanqiu is such a jerk.

I hope you get struck by lightning!

I'd rather split your asses into a pulp!

Humph! !! !!

Watching Zhao Chunyan's angry retreating figure, Su Yuehe scratched the back of her head. "Does a lone man and woman have to do something outrageous when they're out in the wild? Can't they just be taking a stroll?"

"Sister Chunyan, aren't you thinking too badly of Liu Bei and Sister Wanqiu?"

"I don't believe they'd do anything reckless! You're definitely overthinking it. Yes, you're definitely overthinking it!"

"Yuehe, you watch the children. I'm going to the kitchen to cook!" Zhao Da'e, who was not far away, walked over and tugged at Su Yuehe's clothes after noticing that Su Yuehe was in a daze.

"Oh, okay, Mother. You go ahead with your work. I'll watch the children!"

"Um."

Zhao Da'e walked into the courtyard and went straight to the kitchen.

at the same time,

Lin Wanqiu nestled against Liu Bei's broad, sturdy chest as they rode their black horse westward into the wilderness...
