Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

That night, Zhao Chunyan would fall asleep and wake up repeatedly, falling asleep again and again, countless times.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that she could no longer stay awake; her eyelids were drooping wildly, and she finally had to fall asleep.

"Mom, you're back!"

I do not know how long it has been,

In her dazed state, Zhao Chunyan heard someone outside calling "Mom".

At first, she didn't pay attention and remained immersed in her dream.

But when she heard "Mom" three times in a row, and the person being called "Mom" spoke, her dream was abruptly shattered.

He jumped up from the bed in a flash.

Although my head is still foggy and I'm not very clear-headed,

But after hearing the mother's voice outside, she suddenly became much more alert.

Because the owner of that voice was none other than Lin Wanqiu, who had gone out for a ride on a black horse with Liu Bei yesterday and hadn't returned home all night.

"It's that bitch Wanqiu!"

"She's finally back!"

"Judging from her voice, she seems quite happy! Hmph! She must have had a very enjoyable night!"

"You shameless slut!"

"She told me she was divorced from Liu Bei and that getting involved with him was illegal and would land her in jail. But she's more eager than anyone else to commit this crime!"

"A virtuous wife and loving mother, huh? I think she's just a hypocritical, despicable woman!"

"Liu Bei actually treats her like a treasure!"

"No, we must expose her hypocrisy today, no matter what. Yes, we have to!"

Zhao Chunyan became increasingly angry as she thought about it, so she immediately got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Su Yuehe and three children surrounding Lin Wanqiu.

Lin Wanqiu herself was distributing something.

What are you doing?

Zhao Chunyu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Mom, jujube, jujube, so delicious!" Upon hearing this, her son Xiaobao turned around, biting into a jujube and waving it at Zhao Chunyan.

"Third Aunt, the winter dates that Aunt and Father brought back from the mountains are so sweet. Would you like to try some?"

Liu Nian turned around and handed over a jujube.

Zhao Chunyan went over and took a look.

really,

Lin Wanqiu carried a small basket woven from dried straw, which was filled with densely packed winter dates.

Each one was plump and rosy, and looked very sweet and delicious.

"Chunyan, you're up, come and have a taste!" Lin Wanqiu grabbed a handful and handed it to her.

Zhao Chunyan didn't answer, but stared intently at Lin Wanqiu.

He asked coldly, "When did you get back?"

"It's been about half an hour!" Lin Wanqiu said after thinking for a moment.

"So you mean you didn't come back all night after you went out yesterday, and only returned half an hour ago?" Zhao Chunyan's eyes were filled with jealousy.

"Yes," Lin Wanqiu nodded. "After going out for a walk last night, we strolled around Zhangjia Lake and found loquats, winter jujubes, oh right, and chicken feet (scientific name: Japanese raisin tree) in a forest on the other side of Da Liu Mountain. They were all quite sweet."

"After Liu Bei and I picked and ate some, Liu Bei said it would be a waste not to sell them. So the two of us found some dry grass nearby and wove a few baskets. Then we picked jujubes and chicken feet."

As she spoke, Lin Wanqiu pointed to the ground.

Looking behind Lin Wanqiu, Zhao Chunyu saw nine baskets laid out on the ground. Some were filled with jujubes, some with chicken feet, and some even with water chestnuts. Each basket was full.

"Chunyan, see? Liu Bei and I picked all of these. We'll keep one basket for our family to eat. The rest we'll take to town to sell!"

Zhao Chunyan was stunned. "You and Liu Bei didn't come home all night just to pick these things?"

"Yes," Lin Wanqiu nodded. "Liu Bei said it can be sold for money. Our family needs to build a new house, and we're still short a lot of money. We should earn whatever we can, right?"

Zhao Chunyan: "..."

She initially thought that Liu Bei and Lin Wanqiu hadn't returned home all night because they had gone out to fool around in the wild.

Unexpectedly, the two of them went to pick wild fruits in Da Liu Mountain.

It's dark on the mountain and the road is difficult to travel, so it's understandable that they might not return home overnight.

It seems she was overthinking things and misunderstood Liu Bei and Lin Wanqiu.

They didn't do anything reckless in the wild as she thought.

For a moment, she felt somewhat ashamed.

Lin Wanqiu and Liu Bei are completely innocent.

To earn more money, he went to pick wild fruit.

Instead, she lay in her bed at home all night cursing the two of them to die.

"Oh, I see!"

Zhao Chunyan felt much better.

"As long as we can make money! When are we going to town?"

"Let the kids eat a few more!"

"What's the point of eating? That's enough. Let's not keep a single basketful. Let's sell it all; we can make more money that way!"

Zhao Chunyan pulled the three children aside and took the initiative to pick up four baskets.

The three children: "..."

We looked at each other, and spoke almost simultaneously.

"Third Aunt (Mom), we haven't eaten enough yet!"

"What's there to eat? Didn't we say we'd sell more fruit? With more money, the new house can be built faster! The sooner it's finished, the sooner we can move in. Isn't living in a new house better than eating a few wild fruits?"

"..." The three children looked at each other and fell silent helplessly.

"Chunyan, the children love to eat it, so let them eat more."

"No, sell them all!"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

He paused, then looked at Su Yuehe, "Yuehe, what do you say?"

"How about we listen to Sister Chunyan?"

Lin Wanqiu: "..."

She knew that Su Yuehe was gentle and wouldn't dare to go against the hot-tempered Zhao Chunyan.

But the kids really love it, and they'll be unhappy if we sell it all.

"How about this? Let's keep half a basket each."

"Chunyan, listen to Wanqiu. If the children like it, let them eat as much as they want. Money can be earned slowly. Besides, didn't Xiaobei just go hunting in the mountains with Lao Tan and the others? When he comes back, we'll have some extra income. It's just half a basket of wild fruit, it's not worth much! The most important thing is that the children are happy!"

Suddenly, Zhao Da'e came out and spoke up for the three children.

Since her mother-in-law had said so, what could Zhao Chunyan say? "Alright. Mother, since you've spoken, just keep half a basket of each! That's the most we can do!"

"Yay! We can eat wild berries again!"

The three children cheered in unison upon hearing this.

"Did you hear that? The children really love eating them. From now on, if we pick any more wild fruits, no one is allowed to sell them all, as long as the children like them!" Zhao Da'e said.

"Don't worry, Mother, I'll listen to you!" Lin Wanqiu said as she began to sort through three kinds of wild fruits.

Soon, after sorting, she carried the remaining baskets to the back of the tricycle.

It was placed together with grasshoppers and shrimp.

"Mom, we're going to town to earn some money. Panpan, Niannian, Xiaobao, you three must listen to Grandma at home!"

"Yes! We'll definitely listen to Grandma!"

"Spring Swallow, Moon Lotus, let's go!"

"You two go your way. I'll go mine!" Zhao Chunyan rode her unique bicycle and was the first to head out of the village.

Lin Wanqiu followed slowly behind, carrying Su Yuehe.

……

at the same time,

Liu Bei, carrying a hunting rifle, led Old Tan, Tan Si, Li Dazhuang, Fan Dayong, Fan Daqiang, Fan Mao'er, Fan Shitou, and others into the depths of Da Liu Mountain...
