Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"You'll find out what they did wrong just by asking them!"

Su Tianshui roared in anger.

"Eldest son, what exactly did you do?" Zhao Zhenxiang asked her eldest son-in-law with a serious expression.

"I...we..."

The eldest son-in-law lowered his head as he spoke.

"Your mother is asking you a question, so why aren't you answering? Why are you looking down like that?" Su Hehua (the eldest daughter) urged impatiently.

"It's not that he doesn't want to talk. It's that he's too ashamed to!" Su Tianshui spoke again. "Do you know what happened in the field just now?"

Pointing angrily at his five sons-in-law, Su Tianshui said,

"When we got there, a monster that looked like a coffin was wreaking havoc on the rice seedlings!"

"Da Shan and several villagers were driving the monster away with guns; they wanted to kill it!"

"But that monster is strange. It always manages to predict the bullets' trajectory and dodge them in time!"

"After seeing it, I grabbed a gun and fired a shot at the monster!"

"I've enraged the monster, and it's set its sights on me. It's charging at me!"

"I wanted to keep shooting, but the bullets were tearing. I tried to run, but it was too late!"

"Da Shan and the others warned me to run. They even had the five of them pull me along! Guess what they did?"

"How did you make it?" Zhao Zhenxiang asked casually.

"All five of them were terrified, completely dumbfounded. They just stood there like idiots, not making a sound! I could only watch helplessly as that monster charged towards me!"

"Huh? They really did that?" Zhao Zhenxiang asked in surprise, her brows furrowing.

"Father, even so, it's understandable!" Su Hehua defended her eldest son-in-law. "You said yourself, that monster couldn't even be killed by a gun, which shows how ferocious it is. Isn't it normal for them to be frightened? What's the problem?"

"Big sister is right. If it were me, I would have been scared out of my wits too!" Older Su Heye chimed in.

"Hmm. I think it's fine too!"

"..."

After listening to his five daughters' words, Su Tianshui shook his head. "No problem?"

"Fine. Even if there's no problem, do you know how I survived?"

"Didn't you run back?" Su Hehua pressed.

"Run? I already said it's too late, how could you possibly escape?" Su Tianshui pointed at Liu Bei, "It was Xiao Bei who stepped forward to save me!"

"Huh? Liu... Liu Bei?"

The five Su Hehua sisters were astonished.

"Yes, it's him." Su Tianshui nodded. "He not only saved me, but he also killed the monster with a wood-chopping knife! He became the savior of our Su Family Village! He saved the village from some losses!"

"Huh? He... he's just a village hoodlum, yet he has this kind of skill?"

"Impossible! I don't believe it! If he were capable of killing monsters, the sun would rise in the west by now!"

"Exactly. I absolutely refuse to believe it!"

……

The five Su Hehua sisters all shook their heads, refusing to believe it no matter what.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Su Tianshui pointed outside. "Go ask around and see if what I said is true or false."

"this……"

Su Hehua and the others were stunned for a moment, then looked at the five men who were their eldest son-in-law.

"Is what Father said true? Did Liu Bei really kill that monster?"

"Yes...yes!" This time, the eldest son-in-law stammered in response.

"Huh? Really... really?"

Upon hearing this, the five Su Hehua sisters were taken aback.

Look at Liu Bei's eyes, they're all bulging like panda eyes.

In their minds, Liu Bei was a good-for-nothing who just loafed around and waited to die.

They actually dared to kill monsters?

She's completely different from what people say about her.

"Did you hear that? All five of them admitted it! I didn't lie to you, did I?" Su Tianshui sneered. "Now you know why I'm angry, right?"

"I'm not angry that those five didn't save me. I'm angry that those five always brag about how capable they are, but when it really comes down to it, they can't utter a single word!"

"Someone like them dares to compare themselves to Liu Bei?"

"Hmph! I think they're not worthy to be associated with Liu Bei!"

"Do you think I did anything wrong by making the five of them kneel down?"

"..." Upon hearing this, the five Su Hehua sisters fell silent.

They were all biting their lips, their faces looking extremely unpleasant.

How embarrassing!

No wonder their father was angry.

That was a really pathetic thing to do.

"You good-for-nothing! I was so blind to have you!"

Su Hehua was the first to rush forward and grab her eldest son-in-law's ear.

"Honey, it hurts, it hurts! Don't pull it! If you pull it again, your ear will be ruined..."

"So you still feel pain? It's broken, it's broken. This will teach you a lesson!"

……

Su Heye also ran up, grabbed a broom, and started hitting her second son-in-law.

"Honey, be gentle, don't spank me, it'll hurt my bottom..."

……

One after another,

The five sons-in-law were quickly beaten into a sorry state by Su Hehua and her five sisters.

"Xiao Bei, ignore them! Come, come inside and sit down!"

As he spoke, Su Tianshui clapped his hands at his little granddaughter, "Niannian, come here and let Daddy give you a hug!"

"Mmm!" Niannian was very sensible and opened her arms to Su Tianshui, falling into his embrace.

Su Tianshui carried Niannian towards the main room.

Su Yuehe walked to Liu Bei's side and whispered, "Thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for?" Liu Bei asked back.

"Thank you for saving...saving my father!" Su Yuehe responded softly.

Liu Bei grabbed Su Yuehe's hand, and Su Yuehe's body suddenly trembled.

Feeling a little nervous, and with her neck slightly burning, she asked, "What...what are you doing?"

Liu Bei leaned closer, blowing a warm breath on Su Yuehe's face, and smiled, "That's my father-in-law. Your own father. As his son-in-law, what would I be if I didn't save him? A useless piece of trash?"

"You...you're not a waste!" Su Yuehe became even more nervous as Liu Bei's hot breath blew on her.

"Since that's not the case, then that means I'm a male? What are you thanking me for?" Liu Bei leaned closer. "Of course, if you really want to thank me, you'll have to give me something as a reward!"

"A reward? What...what reward do you want?" Su Yuehe asked.

"You know what I mean!" Liu Bei said with a smile, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Huh? You don't mean...you want to...have me with you tonight..., do you?"

"Shh! You're overthinking it. I didn't say that!" With a smile, Liu Bei distanced himself and walked towards his father-in-law, Su Tianshui.

Su Yuehe: "..."

Her neck felt even hotter.

Thinking to myself,

Damn it,

How could I have had that thought?

So embarrassing.

bah bah bah!

You can't think like that anymore, absolutely not.

Yes, you can't!

Su Yuehe shook her head and stuck out her tongue.

Zhao Zhenxiang walked over. "Yuehe! Why are you shaking your head?"

"Mother, I—"

"Come into the kitchen with me!"

"Oh, okay... alright!" Nodding, Su Yuehe followed her mother toward the kitchen.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Liu Bei's back again.

At that moment, the more she looked at him, the more handsome he seemed.

How come I never noticed this before?

Lost in thought, she found herself in the kitchen.

"Bang!"

The kitchen door was closed.

Zhao Zhenxiang stared intently at Su Yuehe.

Su Yuehe felt a little intimidated by her mother's gaze. "Mother, why...why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
