Reborn at 80: From Village Scoundrel to Billionaire

"Cough cough~"

Suddenly, Zhao Da'e, who had fainted, woke up and coughed several times.

"Mother, you're awake!" Zhao Chunyan said anxiously.

"Mother, are you alright?" Su Yuehe asked.

"Mother...Mother, are you feeling better?" Lin Wanqiu immediately stepped forward.

"Where's Xiao Bei? Has he come up yet?" Zhao Da'e gripped Zhao Chunyan's arm tightly. "Chunyan, tell me quickly, has Xiao Bei... has he come up yet?"

"Mother, Liu Bei... he hasn't come up yet!"

After saying that, tears welled up in Zhao Chunyan's eyes and slowly slid down her cheeks.

"Mother, I was wrong!"

Immediately, Lin Wanqiu stepped forward and knelt before Zhao Da'e.

"Waaah~ I want my daddy~ I want my daddy~"

"I want a dad too! I want a dad too!"

Xiao Bao and Liu Nian cried even harder.

"I'm going to find my dad! I'm going to rescue my good dad!"

Seeing her younger brother and sister crying their eyes out, Panpan walked towards the lake.

"Panpan, where are you going?"

Seeing this, Su Yuehe hurriedly chased after them.

"I'm going to save my dad."

As she was speaking, Panpan tried to step forward again, but Su Yuehe quickly pulled her back.

"There are water ghosts in the lake, it's dangerous, you can't go!"

"Yes, we must save Xiao Bei. We must get Xiao Bei out of there!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Da'e suddenly stood up and quickly ran towards the lake.

"Quickly, stop Sister-in-law Da'e!"

Seeing this, Fan Sanyuan hurriedly shouted.

"Shuashua~"

The next moment, several village women ran over and grabbed Zhao Da'e.

"Get out of my way! I need to save my son. I need to save my son!"

"Didn't you hear me telling you to move aside?"

"My son, my son... oh..."

"God, how can you be so cruel? I've only been married for nine years, and you've already call my husband back. Now, my three grandsons are only eight years old, and you...you're going to call my son back too. You...you're so heartless!"

……

Zhao Da'e's words became increasingly tragic.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqiu felt even more ashamed, and knelt on the ground with red eyes.

The tears streaming down Zhao Chunyan's cheeks grew thicker and thicker. Although she was fierce and fearless, at this moment she realized that no matter how fierce her temper was, it was useless.

Su Yuehe froze on the spot, tears streaming down her face.

Niannian and Xiaobao's crying grew louder and louder.

Panpan kept shouting that she wanted to save her father, that she wanted to save her father.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the lake shore became heavy, oppressive, and somber.

"Oh! How pitiful!"

"With Liu Bei gone, the Liu family is left with only a few widows and three children. How will they survive?"

"Yes, yes. It's so tragic! God is so unfair!"

"Ugh!"

……

Immediately, the villagers shook their heads and sighed, expressing their regret and sympathy.

"No. I need to go down and find Brother Bei!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Ha'er, who was squatting on the ground blaming herself, could no longer hold back. She forcibly pushed her mother, Chen Qiaolan, away and was about to jump into the water without even taking off her clothes.

"Hey, don't be silly! You're not allowed to go!"

Chen Qiaolan immediately grabbed Fan Ha'er's arm again, preventing him from going into the water.

"Let him go!"

However, Fan Shuan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"What did you say, sir?" Chen Qiaolan looked over.

"I said if the child wants to go, then let him go. If you don't let him go, he'll regret it and blame himself for the rest of his life," Fan Shuanzhu explained. "Besides, who is Xiao Bei? He's Ha'er's brother. How can you do nothing when your brother is in trouble? Let him go!"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Chen Qiaolan fell silent.

She only had one precious son, Fan Ha'er.

If she goes into the water and something happens to her, how will she live afterward?

"Mom, did you hear that? My father has agreed. Don't stop me. I'm going to find Brother Bei!"

After breaking free from Chen Qiaolan, Fan Ha'er jumped down.

"Thump~"

He immediately sank to the bottom of the lake.

"Ha...you..."

Seeing the splashing water on the lake, Chen Qiaolan's heart suddenly jumped. She then grabbed Fan Shuanzhu's arm tightly, her grip tightening and her face growing more worried.

"Brother Shuanzhu, you...you're being foolish." Fan Sanyuan walked over. "Are you really at ease with your son?"

"What's there to worry about?" Fan Shuanzhu looked at the lake. "A person lives only a lifetime, like grass that lives only one autumn. One should always do something. If he wants to save his brother, let him do it. At least he'll have a brother by his side in life, he won't be lonely!"

"You...sigh..."

Upon hearing this, Fan Sanyuan was at a loss for words.

Immediately, his gaze fell upon Fan Xibei and Zhao Liuzhi on the bamboo raft on the lake.

"Brother Northwest, that idiot jumped in too!"

"Hmph! A fool is a fool. It's best if he's dead. Saves him from harming others!"

"Exactly. We, the Fan Family Village, will not tolerate any more idiots!"

The two men sneered as they watched the water splashing on the lake.

"Pfft~"

The voice just fell,

Suddenly, a spot on the distant lake surface began to ripple.

"Hmm? What's that over there—"

Hearing the sound of the lake water rippling, everyone looked on curiously.

But then two heads emerged from the lake.

Then the two of them joined forces to lift something.

"It's...it's Dazhuang and Tan Si!"

"Yes, it's the two of them!"

"They're back alive!"

"Look, what are they holding up?"

"It's...it's a child. It's Wei Hua's child!"

"Wow, that's right!"

……

As the villagers began to chatter amongst themselves,

Fan Weihua immediately widened his eyes and looked over.

really,

Li Dazhuang and Tan Sizhen lifted up a small child, who was none other than his own son.

"My...my son was saved?"

Fan Weihua was extremely excited.

"Old Tan, your son's back, he's back."

Old Tan, who had been staring blankly at the lake, finally regained his composure.

More than ten minutes passed,

When his son Tan Si didn't come up, he thought something had happened to Tan Si like Liu Bei.

I felt regret and self-blame; I was almost about to cry in public.

But now, her son has returned safe and sound.

They even managed to rescue the child.

As a father, how could he not be happy?

"Good! Well done! You're truly my offspring. Haha..."

Old Tan frantically puffed on the welding fumes, his face full of satisfaction.

"Quickly, hurry down and help!" Fan Sanyuan snapped out of his daze and hurriedly called on the villagers to get moving.

Soon, the men in the village went into the water and pulled Li Dazhuang, Tan Si, and the children ashore a few minutes later.

"Quickly, give him some air!"

Fan Sanyuan reminded him.

As soon as she finished speaking, a young village woman immediately began artificial respiration on the child.

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Seeing the two men get ashore, Fan Xibei and Zhao Liuzhi's expressions immediately darkened.

"Damn it. Li Dazhuang and Tan Si actually came back alive?"

"Damn it! But thank goodness it was just the two of them, not Liu Bei! As long as Liu Bei didn't come up, that's all that matters!"

"That's right. As long as Liu Bei is dead, that's all that matters." Zhao Liu's fingers flashed with a cold light, his eyes fixed on the shore.

shore,

Zhao Da'e and the others hurriedly ran towards Li Dazhuang and Tan Si.

"Dazhuang, Tan Si. Where's Xiao Bei? Where is he? Why hasn't he come up yet?"

"Yes, Dazhuang, where's my Liu Bei? Where is he?"

Zhao Chunyan, Lin Wanqiu, and Su Yuehe, the three women, also asked eagerly.

"Uncle Dazhuang, Uncle Tan, where's my dad? Why didn't he come ashore? Where did he go?"

"I want my dad! I want my dad!"

"I want my dad to come back! Dad, please come back soon!"

……

Seeing the anxious look on Zhao Da'e's family's faces,

Li Dazhuang was about to speak, still breathless from the previous episode.

Just then, there was another commotion on the lake.

"Huh? What's that?"

Immediately, everyone instinctively looked in that direction.

But then Fan Ha'er also surfaced.

"It's Ha'er!"

"He got up here so quickly? Where's Liu Bei?"

"Oh yeah, wasn't he going to rescue Liu Bei? Where's Liu Bei?"

……

The villagers were talking about it.

As soon as this word comes out,

Zhao Da'e and the others felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.

Li Dazhuang and Tan Si both made it ashore.

The child was also rescued.

Even Fan Ha'er, that one fool, surfaced.

There was still no sign of Liu Bei.

Could it be that Liu Bei really died?

No!

He's the sole breadwinner of the Liu family.

If something happens

How will the Liu family survive in the future?

"Daddy, I want you back. I want you back!"

"Dad, I miss you! Please come back!"

"Daddy, my dear daddy!"

"Liu Bei, I...I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have let you come!"

"Liu Bei... Liu Bei..."

……

In an instant,

The entire Liu family was on tenterhooks.

"Hoo hoo~"

next moment,

The lake, not far from Fan Ha'er, began to ripple again.

Then, another head surfaced.

As it rises higher and higher

Soon, a familiar, complete face appeared before everyone.

He is Liu Bei.

"It's Liu Bei! He made it up alive too!"

"It really is Liu Bei. Look, what's he holding in his hand?"

"Oh right, what's that thing?"
