Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Seeing that Liu Bei and Lao Tantou had accepted the wild boar, Gong Hu and Bai Hu exchanged a glance and then took the lead into the depths of Da Liu Mountain.

"Awoo~ Awoo~"

The little tiger rubbed against Liu Bei and Lao Tan's trouser legs, then reluctantly caught up with its parents.

Watching the tiger family of three walk away, Old Tan's face showed even more deep shame.

"I'm ashamed. I thought they were going to eat us—"

"Uncle Tan, let bygones be bygones. Don't bring it up again. Just know that they are a family of tigers who know how to repay kindness. In the future, if you encounter the family of three again, help them if you can. Just consider it as making friends in the mountains!"

"Xiao Bei, you're right. Just consider it making a friend from the mountains." Old Tan nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the backs of the tiger family of three.

Only after the tiger family of three had disappeared from sight did Liu Bei say, "The wild boar is too heavy. I need to go back to the village and get a few people to help. Uncle Tan, you watch over there for a while!"

"Okay!" Old Tan nodded.

……

More than twenty minutes later, with the help of the villagers,

The two wild boars were successfully carried into Fanjiacun Village.

One end was placed at Old Tan's house.

It landed at Liu Bei's house.

"This wild boar is so big, if we go to sell it today, no one in town will want it, right? It'll spoil if we leave it too long." Looking at the 300-pound wild boar lying at the door, Zhao Da'e was full of worry.

"or……"

Zhao Chunyan thought for a moment and suggested, "Liu Bei, why don't you go and talk to the slaughterhouse in town and sell it cheaply? It'll save us from wasting it!"

"Hmm, that's a good idea. I agree." Lin Wanqiu raised her hand in agreement. "Yuehe, what do you think?"

"I...I agree too!" Su Yuehe nodded.

"No!" Liu Bei shook his head. "I have no intention of selling this wild boar!"

"Huh? Not for sale?"

Zhao Da'e and the others were surprised and puzzled. "Xiao Bei, it's hot. It'll spoil if we don't sell it. What are you keeping it for? Do you want to treat the whole village to wild boar meat?"

Upon hearing this, the entire village fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Liu Bei, eager to know what he would say.

Lin Wanqiu, Zhao Chunyan, and Su Yuehe all looked at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei smiled slightly, "Mother, you guessed wrong. I didn't plan on that! Isn't Yuehe's mother's sixtieth birthday coming up soon? I was thinking of sending this wild boar over today. Consider it my first birthday gift to Yuehe's mother! What do you think?"

"what?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole village erupted in uproar.

"What? Sending a wild boar as a gift for a 60th birthday? Isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

"That wild boar probably weighs about 300 jin (150 kg). At one yuan per jin, it could sell for over 200 yuan. The employees of the state-owned enterprises in town only earn 30 or 40 yuan a month. 200 yuan is more than half a year's salary for them. Isn't that too much?"

"Xiao Bei, are you serious?"

"Xiao Bei, that's over two hundred yuan, you should think it over carefully!"

"Xiao Bei, if you ask me, a token gift is enough! It's over two hundred yuan, what son-in-law would give such an expensive gift for his mother-in-law's birthday?"

"Yes, yes, that's too much. If you ask me, sending a few bottles of wine and a few pounds of milk candy would be enough!"

"Yes, yes, over two hundred yuan is really too much. It's unnecessary!"

……

Listening to the chatter of the surrounding villagers,

Su Yuehe's eyebrows arched slightly, and her expression changed somewhat.

My heart feels heavy.

Although she knew that over two hundred yuan was too much.

But as a daughter, she secretly hoped to give her mother a more expensive gift for her rare 60th birthday.

That way, at least it would make it seem like she was very important to Liu Bei.

But will Liu Bei listen to the villagers' advice?

Will he change his mind?

As she pondered the matter, Su Yuehe grew increasingly nervous.

Her little hands were clenched tightly, and she even bit her thin lips slightly. Her gaze was fixed on Liu Bei, waiting for him to speak.

Not just her,

Zhao Da'e, Zhao Chunyan, and Lin Wanqiu were also waiting.

They all wanted to hear what Liu Bei would say.

Especially Zhao Da'e,

Although she was the mother-in-law, as a woman and someone who had been through it all, she naturally knew what state Su Yuehe was in at this moment. She repeatedly tried to give Liu Bei a meaningful look, but each time she swallowed the words back down.

Because she knew that some things couldn't be said by her as the mother-in-law; they would be most convincing if said by her son, Liu Bei.

The more this happened, the more anxious she became for Liu Bei.

Zhao Chunyan, standing to the side, rested her chin on her hand, staring at Liu Bei with great interest.

"Will Liu Bei change his mind? If he does, money is still more important than people in his heart. If that's the case, I'll be so disappointed!"

To the side, Lin Wanqiu crossed her arms over her bulging chest, looking at Liu Bei and waiting quietly.

Deep down, I was also thinking:

Would Liu Bei value money more than people?

As I thought about it,

Lin Wanqiu felt a mix of nervousness, worry, and anticipation.

Soon, the villagers' chatter gradually subsided.

All eyes in the village were on Liu Bei, waiting for him to speak.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Two hundred yuan is quite a lot. But money can be earned again. However, a sixtieth birthday is a once-in-a-lifetime event for Yuehe's mother; once it's missed, it's gone forever!"

"As her son-in-law, I was fortunate enough to receive such a beautiful girl like Yuehe from her in previous years. I haven't repaid this kindness yet."

"If I can't even part with a little over two hundred yuan for her 60th birthday, wouldn't I be seen as a greedy, ungrateful person who's obsessed with money?"

"So, a wild boar meat worth a little over two hundred yuan is nothing compared to Yuehe's mother's kindness and her sixtieth birthday celebration!"

"On the contrary, I think over two hundred dollars is too little!"

"On the official day of Yuehe's mother's sixtieth birthday, I will go and send her some generous gifts!"

"What? Two hundred yuan isn't enough? And you're even giving away other big gifts? That's incredibly generous!"

"He values ​​loyalty more than money. Xiao Bei is a good man. Yuehe's mother has good taste!"

"Yes, that's right. These days, how many sons-in-law can come up with over two hundred yuan as a wedding gift and still think it's not enough? I've never heard of a son-in-law who could do that!"

"Yes, yes! I've lived for sixty years and I've never heard of a son-in-law like that! Yuehe's mother has excellent taste. Yuehe is truly blessed!"

"I'm so envious, I'm so incredibly envious."

……

After hearing the villagers' envious comments,

Su Yuehe's tense and worried expression finally softened.

An expression of disbelief appeared on one of his faces.

It turns out he values ​​people more than money.

Furthermore, and more importantly, he even felt that the wild boar, which cost over 200 yuan, wasn't enough, and wanted to give away several more large gifts.

he--

He really values ​​me a lot...
