Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Zhao Da'e's question immediately silenced the room.

The ears of all three ex-wives perked up.

Lin Wanqiu's hand holding the tea tray froze in mid-air, Zhao Chunyan leaned forward half an inch while leaning against the door frame, and Su Yuehe sat by the window of the side room, her breathing becoming lighter.

How are the rooms assigned?

These four words sound like they're talking about a house, but anyone can tell that the real question is how you plan to arrange things for these three women.

Liu Bei tapped his knee twice with his fingers.

He had considered this question before. But answering it now, no matter what he said, would be like throwing a bomb.

To suggest three people living together? That's like asking if you have too much time on your hands.

If they say one person per room, then there will be another bloodbath in the front and back rows.

Let them choose for themselves? That would be even worse; Zhao Chunyan could pluck Lin Wanqiu's hair out of the house.

He had just mentally reviewed three plans and was about to speak when...

"His dad."

Lin Wanqiu placed the tea tray on the table and walked up to him.

"We still have to go to the forest farm this afternoon. You've been busy all morning, you must be very tired. Why don't you go inside and rest for a while until you're refreshed before going to the forest farm? Come on, I'll go in with you and help you tidy up your bed."

"Well... okay!"

Liu Bei nodded and was about to go into his room with Lin Wanqiu when suddenly a hand reached out from the side and grabbed his wrist.

Liu Bei stared intently and recognized Zhao Chunyan.

"Zhao Chunyan, what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhao Chunyan suddenly interrupt, Lin Wanqiu frowned.

"Lin Wanqiu, how could I trouble you with such rough work?" Zhao Chunyan said with a smile. "You're the eldest sister, you're destined to enjoy life. I can handle the rough work of making the bed."

After saying that, she grabbed Liu Bei's arm and started to walk towards the room.

Su Yuehe opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word and could only watch helplessly.

Lin Wanqiu watched as Zhao Chunyan grabbed Liu Bei's wrist, and the smile on her face gradually faded. "Zhao Chunyan."

"Um?"

"You understand the principle of 'first come, first served,' right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunyan didn't loosen her grip, but her mouth exploded first: "Who are you saying doesn't care about first come, first served? Lin Wanqiu, don't think I can't see through your little scheme!"

"What thoughts could I possibly have?"

"You just took a bowl of wine for him, right? You think I don't know what you're up to? You probably took advantage of being drunk to lure him into the room, then pretended to be drunk yourself, and used the alcohol to—"

He only said half of what he meant, but everyone present understood the meaning of the unspoken part.

Su Yuehe's neck turned bright red, and she lowered her head so low it almost touched her knees.

"Zhao Chunyan!" Lin Wanqiu's face also darkened. "Don't project your own thoughts onto others!"

"I'll splash him? Fine, then tell everyone in front of you, what exactly did you want to do by dragging him into the house?"

"I told you, I'd make his bed."

"Make the bed? Whose bed? And after that, do you have to warm the blankets for him?"

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'I'? Lin Wanqiu, you just want to rekindle your relationship with him after drinking that bowl of wine! You've already torn up the marriage certificate, and you're still thinking about him. You're shameless!"

"I'm shameless? Ha! Zhao Chunyan, what about you?" Lin Wanqiu finally couldn't hold back anymore. "When you were gripping his wrist just now, your nails were digging into his flesh. Do you think everyone else is blind and can't see it?"

"I was afraid he'd fall!"

"How could he fall when he was standing perfectly fine?"

"What if the ground is slippery?"

"It's a sunny day! Where did the slippery ground come from?"

"Mind your own business! I was just trying to be helpful!"

"Are you kind-hearted or just lustful?"

"Lin Wanqiu, say that again!"

"Take one step forward and I'll say it again!"

The two women faced off, the air between them thick with tension.

Zhao Da'e stood in the main room, her hand covering her mouth, which was pouting so much she couldn't suppress it, but she was secretly very happy.

Fight it out, everyone fight it out with all your might.

The more you argue, the more it shows that you still care about me as your son.

So what if the divorce certificate is torn up? Three women are constantly swaying around one man, vying to shield my son from drinking and to make his bed. Isn't this just the prelude to a reconciliation?

Okay, that's great!

This old woman couldn't be happier! Haha...

After having a good time, Zhao Da'e turned her head to take a special look at Su Yuehe.

Su Yuehe sat by the window without saying a word, but her flushed face and the way she kept turning her bracelet betrayed her thoughts.

"Yuehe has a role too! That's wonderful!"

After taking a look, Zhao Da'e was even happier.

Soon, seeing the tension between the two wives escalating—Lin Wanqiu's handkerchief was clenched into a tight knot, and Zhao Chunyan's sleeves rolled up to her elbows, both poised to fight at any moment—Liu Bei knew that if things continued like this, the two wives would really come to blows. He immediately spoke up.

"Alright!"

He stepped forward, blocking Lin Wanqiu with his left hand and Zhao Chunyan with his right, separating the two.

"You two have both had too much to drink."

"I'm not drunk!" Zhao Chunyan and Lin Wanqiu said in unison.

After saying that, the two looked at each other, turned their heads away at the same time, and let out a cold snort.

"..."

Liu Bei shook his head.

"You all go back to your rooms and get some rest. I'll make my own bed."

After saying that, he turned around and went into his room, closing the door behind him.

"Hoo hoo~"

He leaned against the door and let out a long breath.

Two women, one so gentle it's irresistible, the other so fierce it leaves you with nowhere to retreat.

But if both women have an attack at the same time, even the King of Hell would have to take a detour.

so horrible!

Fortunately, Su Yuehe did not get involved.

Otherwise, three people making a scene would cause chaos in the whole house!

Meanwhile, it became quiet outside.

"snort!!!"

Two almost simultaneous "humphs" followed, along with the sound of two footsteps heading in different directions.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two heavy doors closed one after the other, clean and efficient.

Seeing this, Zhao Da'e couldn't hide her smile.

She glanced back at Su Yuehe, her smile now carrying a different meaning.

"Yue He."

"Mother! Did you call me?"

Su Yuehe raised her head.

Zhao Da'e walked over, took her hand, patted it, and lowered her voice: "Look, Xiao Bei bought a lot of cloth from town today. Autumn will be here soon, and the weather will get cooler. We need to finish making the clothes before it gets cold. What do you think?"

Su Yuehe nodded: "Mother is right, I...I'll start sewing this afternoon."

"No. You misunderstood me! I meant to take the fabric to the best tailor in the village and have him make custom-made ones for you!" As she said this, Zhao Da'e pulled her hand and gestured towards Liu Bei's room, "Go to his room first and take his measurements."

Su Yuehe froze. "Mother, what did you say? Let...let me go?"

"Yes, they've both gone into the room. If you don't go, who will?"

"But... am I all alone?"

"What else can we do? Look at those two, they're both incredibly disruptive. If we let them in, Xiao Bei can forget about going to the forest farm this afternoon."

Su Yuehe's face turned red again, the redness spreading from her ears all the way down to her neck.

Tell her to go to Liu Bei's room.

She was the only one.

A lone man and woman, with the door closed, what if...

"Am I...doing this...appropriate?"

Zhao Da'e squeezed her hand and smiled as she pushed her forward half a step.

"What's wrong with that? Go on now."

"oh!"

Su Yuehe nodded and walked away. Watching her retreating figure, Zhao Da'e was overjoyed.

"Son, I've created this opportunity for you. You must seize it and try to succeed on the first try, giving our Liu family another grandson! Son, go for it!!!"
