Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"You can sit there and eat when dinner is served!"

The third son-in-law coldly gave the order.

"Oh? And you guys? Where are you eating?" The third son-in-law had been picking on Liu Bei time and time again, which had already made Liu Bei unhappy. Now that the third son-in-law had done this, Liu Bei was even more dissatisfied with him.

"Of course we'll eat in the main room!" The third son-in-law turned around and pointed to the living room. Liu Bei looked over and saw a large eight-immortal table there, big enough for twelve people to sit down and eat together.

"Brothers-in-law, second brother-in-law, fourth brother-in-law, fifth brother-in-law, what about you? Are you also going to make me sit there and eat alone?" Liu Bei glanced at the other four people and asked.

"Yes. We all think the same way!" The eldest son-in-law nodded. "Liu Bei, you haven't been here for six years, so you don't know what's going on at home. In these six years, the five of us have worried a lot about this family!"

"You haven't come for six years, and this is your first time here. You want to sit at the same table as us? Do you think you deserve it?"

"Brother-in-law is right. Liu Bei, you're the sixth son. You haven't contributed anything to this family, so why should you sit at the same table with us?" The second son-in-law immediately chimed in.

"Yes. You're the sixth son, you don't deserve it!"

"Unworthy!"

……

In an instant, all five sons-in-law pointed their guns at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was about to speak,

The children of the five sons-in-law immediately surrounded Liu Bei, all pulling him along.

"You must be Sixth Aunt's husband, right? Sixth Aunt's husband, come and play Eagle Catches Chicks with us! You be the eagle, and we'll be the chicks."

"Liu Bei, did you hear that? The kids want you to play games with them. They're the future of the Su family. You can't just not do something like that, can you?"

"Liu Bei, now's your chance to shine!"

"Go ahead. Go play eagle catches chicks with the kids. You're the eagle, you know. That's a great role!"

"Yes, not bad, haha..."

……

The five brothers-in-law gave a sarcastic, cold laugh.

The meaning is obvious.

Liu Bei doesn't deserve to sit at the same table as them; he only deserves to sit at the same table as the children.

This is blatant humiliation and suppression.

They clearly didn't treat him like family.

This is outrageous!

"You're asking for it! Do you really think I'm made of clay?"

Liu Bei was furious and was about to do something when he heard his daughter Nian Nian's familiar voice from ahead.

"Dad, why are you still standing there? Come here!"

Liu Bei looked over.

Seeing his daughter Niannian waving and smiling at him, he immediately replied, "Niannian, play with Daddy Gaga first. Daddy will be there in a bit!"

"Daddy, hurry up!"

"Yes, I will!"

Liu Bei smiled slightly at his daughter, but the smile vanished abruptly after he looked away.

His eyes narrowed into tiny slits. "Are you sure you want me to come over—"

"Bang bang bang~"

I haven't finished speaking yet,

A sudden burst of rapid gong-banging startled the Su family.

Then came a cacophony of shouts and screams.

There were even gunshots mixed in, of course.

There were also many frightened children crying their hearts out.

"Monsters have entered the village!"

"A monster has entered the village!"

Liu Bei and the others were all drawn to it.

"Da da da~"

Immediately afterwards, someone ran towards the Su family's house.

Soon, a figure rushed in.

"Uncle, something terrible has happened! The late-season rice seedlings you just planted have been... almost... almost gone because of a monster!"

"What?"

As soon as this word comes out,

Su Tianshui and Zhao Zhenxiang stood up abruptly.

It wasn't just the two of them,

The six Su Yuehe sisters, who were busy in the kitchen, also came out.

All eyes turned to the newcomer.

Su Tianshui was the first to speak, "Big Tree, what did you say? Say it again!"

"Uncle, a monster rushed out of the mountains and destroyed all your late-season rice seedlings!"

"What?"

Zhao Zhenxiang felt a sudden heat in her head, as if it were about to explode, and then she collapsed to the ground.

"mother!"

The six Su Yuehe sisters ran over.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"Rice seedlings...my rice seedlings..."

Zhao Zhenxiang looked worried.

The rice seedlings were all ruined.

Not only will their family lose their harvest,

We can't even pay our grain tax.

Their family will be in big trouble then.

"It's all over, everything's over. How could this happen? How could this be..."

Zhao Zhenxiang fainted while she was talking.

"Lotus, Moon Lotus, you six sisters take good care of your mother and Niannian."

Su Tianshui gave some instructions and then looked at his eldest son-in-law, second son-in-law, and third son-in-law.

Fourth and fifth sons-in-law, "The five of you, come with me to the fields!"

"Father, what about me?"

Not hearing his name called, Liu Bei asked.

"You—" Su Tianshui raised an eyebrow, "I heard you hardly ever work in the fields at home. If you go, you'll only be a burden to us. You should stay home."

"Sixth brother, Dad's right. You should stay home. You can play games with the kids!"

"That's right. We're relieved that you stay home and look after the children!"

"Yes, yes, I'll leave the child in your care, Sixth Brother!"

……

The five sons-in-law were speaking sarcastically. Just as Liu Bei was about to speak, Su Tianshui interrupted him, "Okay. It's settled then. Liu Bei, you stay and look after the children. Play some games with them! You five, come with me! Da Shu, you come too!"

Su Dashu is one of Su Yuehe's six cousins.

Upon hearing this, he glanced at Liu Bei, shook his head, and hurriedly ran outside with Su Tianshui and the others.

"Liu Bei, my father—"

Su Yuehe walked over, intending to explain for Su Tianshui.

"I understand!" Liu Bei raised his hand to interrupt Su Yuehe. "Mindsets can't be changed overnight. It takes time!"

"You can understand me that way, right—"

"Yuehe, listen carefully!" Liu Bei's hands landed on Su Yuehe's shoulders. "Before I changed, didn't Mother, you, Wanqiu, Chunyan, Panpan, Niannian, and Xiaobao also disbelieve me?"

"It's the same now as it was back then. Don't worry. Before long, I'll make Dad, Mom, and my sister and brother-in-law look at me with new respect!"

"But--"

"No buts!" Liu Bei interrupted Su Yuehe again. "You stay home and watch the children. I'll go after them and check!"

"But Dad told you to stay!" Su Yuehe grabbed Liu Bei, preventing him from chasing after them.

"Father only made me stay because he doesn't believe me. If I really stay and do nothing, wouldn't that be admitting I'm a good-for-nothing?"

"That's what they say, but—"

"Alright. Listen to me. I'll be right back. Maybe what's happening outside is an opportunity for me."

Liu Bei smiled slightly and patted Su Yuehe on the shoulder.

You mean to say—

"Okay. That's what you mean. Wait for me at home. I'm going out to check! Make sure the door is closed, and don't open it easily! Got it?"

"Okay. Be careful!" Su Yuehe had no choice but to agree, but she was also worried that it was too dangerous outside.

After all, the commotion outside sounded quite loud.

There were all sorts of opinions, and it was clear that the monster that my cousin Su Dashu was talking about was not easy to deal with.

She worried that Liu Bei would forcefully step forward to confront the monster in order to change her father's preconceived notion of him.

If they can be subdued, that's fine.

But what if she gets hurt? A minor injury wouldn't matter, but if she hurts someone she shouldn't, how will she ever be able to continue...?
