Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

Zhang Cuihua hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on to barely cover her body.

Then he slowly stood up, his chest heaving violently. He first pointed at Liu Bei, then at Fan Ha'er, and finally his gaze settled on Zhao Chunyan.

"Fine! Fine! You're all bullying me, aren't you? Okay! I'll fight back today. I'm calling the police! Zhao Chunyan, you hit me! Fan Ha'er, you tore my clothes and scratched my man! You just wait! When the police come, you'll all be in jail!"

"Hmm~"

Zhao Chunyan's laughter stopped abruptly, and then she stood up abruptly.

"You want to call the police to arrest me? I'll beat you up a few times first!"

"Spring Swallow! Come back!"

Liu Bei pulled Zhao Chunyan back.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Chunyan glared at Liu Bei. "Why are you stopping me? Let me go up and teach her a lesson!"

"What's the rush? Take your time."

"What do you mean 'calm down'? She said she'd get the police to arrest me! Did you hear me?"

"I heard you." Liu Bei pushed Zhao Chunyan back two steps. "Stand here and don't move."

"Liu Bei! You—"

"obedient."

Zhao Chunyan opened her mouth, but finally let out a breath, crossed her arms, and retreated to Zhao Da'e's side.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Cuihua,

Are you sure you want to report this to the police?

"Report it! Of course I'll report it!" Zhang Cuihua said, hands on her hips. "I'm definitely reporting it today!"

"Okay. Go ahead and register. Register anything you like. But there's one thing I need to remind you of."

Zhang Cuihua sneered: "What are you trying to warn me about? Do you think you can stop the police?"

"No, you misunderstand. Of course I couldn't stop the police. But from beginning to end, the people who started this whole thing weren't us, but you two."

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Guozhong, then looked back at Zhang Cuihua.

"You want to report Chunyan to the police? Ha! When the police arrive, I dare say they won't arrest Chunyan, they'll arrest you all."

"Because you started the trouble first."

"Moreover, you slandered me and ruined my reputation. But what happened? Uncle Lin testified that nothing of the sort happened."

"Besides, the village party secretary witnessed the whole thing; he can testify to that!"

"It wasn't just him. The entire village was there too. You're spreading rumors and ruining my reputation, Liu Bei. With their testimony, Zhang Cuihua, do you think you and your husband can deny it?"

"..."

Zhang Cuihua's expression changed drastically.

"Liu Bei is right!"

Suddenly, a murmur began to circulate among the crowd.

Hearing these gossips, Zhang Cuihua gritted her teeth.

"Fine! I can let Zhao Chunyan's matter slide. But what about that idiot Fan Ha'er? He tore my clothes in public, making me look bad! Not only that, he also scratched my man's... you know! These are all facts, right? Liu Bei, can you really deny them?"

"Who are you calling a fool?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a furious roar erupted.

Immediately, Chen Qiaolan stepped out from the crowd, pointed at Zhang Cuihua, and began to curse:

"You shameless slut in that pink bib! You want to call the police to arrest my son? If you dare lay a finger on my son, I'll tear your face apart today and turn you into a monster!"

"you--"

Before Zhang Cuihua could retort, Fan Shuanzhu also came over.

He held a long pipe in his hand, tapped the ash on the sole of his shoe, and slowly began to speak:

"Qiaolan is right. My son, anyone who dares to lay a finger on him will not be leaving Fanjiacun today."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guozhong subconsciously took another step back.

Zhang Cuihua's fingers trembled as she first pointed at Liu Bei, then turned to Fan Shuanzhu's family of three, and finally her gaze fell on Fan Sanyuan.

"Secretary Fan! Look at the people in your village! One of them beat me up, another tore my clothes and grabbed my groin, and two others threatened me to protect their own! Your Fan Family Village is going too far! You have to give me an explanation today!"

Fan Sanyuan frowned, about to open his mouth.

"Party branch secretary".

Liu Bei spoke first, "If she wants to explain, then give it to her."

"what?"

The villagers were all stunned, completely bewildered.

Liu Bei continued, "You should take her to the village committee now and call the police."

"Hmm?" Chen Qiaolan's expression changed, and she hurriedly winked at Liu Bei.

Zhang Cuihua's eyes lit up, and she urged, "Yes! Make a phone call! Quickly take me to make a phone call!"

Fan Sanyuan raised an eyebrow, looked at Liu Bei, and was about to take a step.

"but--"

Liu Bei spoke again:

"Zhang Cuihua, before you go to the police station, I have to remind you of something."

"What are you trying to say now?" Zhang Cuihua glared at her.

Liu Bei earnestly reminded Zhang Cuihua, "Everyone in the village knows who my brother Fan Ha'er is. He's Ha'er."

"According to the country's laws, even if Ha'er kills someone, he will not be guilty."

"Besides, he only scratched your man's crotch, he didn't kill him, so there's even less chance of anything happening to him."

"So...hehe, even if the police come...they won't arrest my brother Fan Ha'er."

"They'll also accuse you of making trouble and wasting police resources. If you want to get a scolding from the police, just go ahead and make the call. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"..."

The room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Chen Qiaolan was taken aback at first, then her eyes immediately lit up.

"That's right!"

Chen Qiaolan slapped her thigh,

"My son's a moron! He can kill people without breaking the law! What's so wrong with scratching your man? You want to call the police? Go ahead! Who's afraid of who?"

At this point, Chen Qiaolan patted Fan Ha'er on the shoulder.

"Hey! Next time someone comes looking for trouble, just arrest them mercilessly! The law can't touch you anyway!"

Fan Ha'er scratched his head and nodded earnestly, "Yes! Mother, I'll remember!"

"..."

Zhang Cuihua was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, she finally realized what was happening.

It's not illegal for a fool to kill someone.

If she reports it to the police, and the police investigate and determine that the couple first came to cause trouble and then slandered Liu Bei, and then the villagers testify for Liu Bei, in the end the couple will be the ones who suffer.

As for Fan Ha'er...

He's a fool, he'll definitely be fine.

Hey!

How could this happen?

In an instant, Zhang Cuihua's face turned a deep liver color.

Lin Beiping, who was standing to the side, was startled by what he saw.

"So that's what Liu Bei was planning... a strategic retreat to turn the tables on us. Whoever reports it to the police is in trouble. Brilliant, truly brilliant."

He glanced again at Fan Ha'er, who was grinning foolishly to the side, and a chill ran down his spine.

"If I ever encounter an idiot like that again... I'll stay as far away from them as possible."

"Forget it." Liu Bei waved his hand and said to Fan Sanyuan, "If she doesn't want to fight, I'll do it for her. In the end, it's her and her husband who will suffer, not us. Secretary, let's go."

"etc!"

Zhang Cuihua finally panicked.

She gritted her teeth, her chest heaving for a while, before finally lowering her head.

"We don't want the compensation. Junior High, let's go!"

After saying that, she grabbed Zhang Guozhong, who was still clutching his crotch and grimacing, and fled Fanjiacun without looking back.

"Alright, everyone, go home. Go do whatever you were doing."

Fan Sanyuan waved his hand, walked up to Liu Bei, patted him on the shoulder twice, and walked away with a cryptic smile on his lips.

Fan Xibei and Zhao Liuzhi stood at the base of the wall, their faces alternating between pale and flushed.

Zhao Liuzhi whispered, "Brother Northwest... it didn't work out again."

Fan Xibei stared at Liu Bei's direction with a gloomy face, then turned and left without saying a word.

Zhao Liuzhi quickly jogged after him.

Chen Qiaolan smiled and nodded to Liu Bei, then, with one hand holding Fan Ha'er and the other holding Fan Shuanzhu, the three of them walked away happily.

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si walked over and each gave Liu Bei a thumbs up.

"Brother Bei, I'm impressed."

After saying that, the two left.

For a moment, only Lin Beiping and Liu Bei's family remained at the gate of the courtyard.

Zhao Da'e dusted herself off and walked up to Lin Beiping with a smile.

"My dear in-law, it's rare for you to visit our home. Why don't you stay for a meal?"

As soon as he said this, several pairs of eyes fell on Lin Beiping.

Zhao Chunyan crossed her arms, glanced at Lin Beiping, and gave him a scrutinizing look.

Su Yuehe quietly raised her head.

Panpan held Niannian and Xiaobao's hands, their three pairs of eyes constantly shifting between Lin Beiping and their mother.

Lin Wanqiu lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Lin Beiping.

But everyone could tell she was more nervous than anyone else.

Because the person in front of her was her uncle.

She is now the only person in the Lin family willing to speak up for her.

I just don't know if he'd be willing to give me the courtesy of staying for a meal...
