Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

"Yang Bai, we're divorced."

"You beast, if you touch me again, I'll cut off your manhood."

Yang Bai, who was lying in bed with a sore lower back, was suddenly kicked and fell off the bed with a thud.

"What happened?"

He gazed at the woman before him; her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, her features were charming and alluring, and she possessed a captivating, fox-like allure.

The floral brocade quilt barely covered her curvaceous figure, and the skin on her shoulders was as white and tender as jade, as if it would break at the slightest touch.

"Yang Bai, don't think you can lay a hand on me just because you sent your daughter to Xiao Jiao's! Don't forget, we're divorced!"

The woman's gaze was cold, like an untouchable flower on a high mountain.

Yang Bai was stunned, as countless fragments of memories unconsciously floated into his mind and merged together.

He was reborn, and not just in a simple way.

He was reborn in his hometown, Haiba Village, in 1978 in a parallel world.

In this world, he is no longer the tycoon who steers assets worth hundreds of billions.

He was a scoundrel who had abandoned two beautiful wives and a well-behaved daughter.

Apart from that, there were no changes.

The woman before him was his first wife, Su Wanqiu.

In her past life, she was the eldest daughter of the Su family, one of the ten most powerful families in Haicheng. However, her father is still in prison for "speculation and profiteering".

Otherwise, he would never have been able to marry Su Wanqiu in his lifetime.

Looking at the good-for-nothing, gambling-addicted, and lecherous man in front of her, she felt a surge of anger.

He wrapped himself in the quilt and got out of bed.

Her jade feet stepped on Yang Bai's chest.

He looked down at Su Wanqiu, his eyes completely open, and felt a rush of heat to his nose as blood slowly trickled down his philtrum.

What is this? A reward?

Su Wanqiu's eyes turned cold. "Yang Bai, we're divorced now. Don't bother us anymore."

After she finished speaking, she picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom to change.

Yang Bai put on his clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and lit a cigarette.

This parallel world version of myself has indeed done many absurd things.

Most of the money he gambled with came from the secret stashes he stole from his two ex-wives.

Any normal person would abandon him immediately.

As soon as I stepped out of the house, I saw an old woman standing outside the courtyard, followed by a silly-looking man wearing overalls.

Yang Bai recognized the two at a glance: Liu Caixia, the old woman from the Zhang family, and her mentally challenged son, Zhang Fei.

The original owner owed the family the most money gambling, a full forty dollars.

In the city, it would be equivalent to a month's salary; in the countryside, it would be equivalent to half a year's wages for farming.

Besides, the original owner of this body was ignorant and incompetent, and simply couldn't repay the debt.

"Grandma Zhang, I will pay you back, but not now."

Liu Caixia shook her head with a smile.

"I know what kind of person you are. I'm not here to ask you for money."

She looked at her silly son with doting eyes.

My son is twenty-five and still hasn't gotten married.

Yang Bai glanced at Zhang Fei, who was Liu Caixia's old haunt.

He had a fever right after birth, which made him mentally impaired, but they still doted on him.

They fattened him up and made him stupid.

"Why would he come to me if he wants to get married? He should find a matchmaker. I heard there's a mentally challenged woman in the next village who I think would be a good match for him."

He was telling the truth. The Zhang family had some money in the village, but if he married into a normal family, he would have to live a life of repression.

This is a waste, a sin.

The smile on Liu Caixia's face faded slightly, but she still forced a smile.

"Yang Bai, don't speak so harshly. If you marry a fool, who will take care of her after I'm gone?"

"I want to marry a normal person, and I think your divorced wife would be a good match."

Yang Bai clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, his fingernails digging into his palms, drawing out thin streams of blood.

That damned old hag, daring to set her sights on her own wife.

He still wanted to use a mere forty yuan to get me to cooperate.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Caixia took out a package of oil paper and continued to persuade him.

"Since you've already divorced her, all you need to do is cooperate and put the powder inside into the water; you don't need to worry about anything else."

"After it's done, I'll waive the forty dollars for you, and you can borrow money from me for gambling without interest in the future."

She pulled Yang Bai's hand and stuffed the pink packet into his hand.

She knew Yang Bai's personality best.

As long as he can still gamble, what request would he refuse?

"Son, when you get married, let the fairy sister be your wife."

Liu Caixia looked at her son with a bright smile.

Liu Fei clapped his hands with a silly grin, happily spinning around and shouting.

"Fairy sister, I want to marry fairy sister."

Liu Caixia grabbed Yang Bai's sleeve.

"Look, my son really likes it; all he has to do is get him into bed."

Yang Bai was grinding his teeth so hard he could barely keep up with a word.

He pinched the medicine packet and flung it at her face, the white powder scattering all over Liu Caixia's face.

"This...this is aphrodisiac medicine! Why did you throw it on my face?!"

Liu Caixia screamed and slapped the powder off her face, as if afraid that eating even a little bit would cause her to become aroused on the spot.

He barely managed to open his eyes and immediately ran to the nearest water tank to wash his face.

She rushed up to Yang Bai, soaking wet, her smile completely gone.

Instead, he was filled with rage, his face contorted with fury.

"Yang Bai, don't think I don't know what kind of person you are."

Okay, if you're so shameless, then you'd better either raise the money or find the people within three days!

Otherwise, I'll make sure you can't stay in the village anymore!

A slight smile appeared on Yang Bai's lips.

"I'll go fishing at sea these next few days and I'll get it to you within three days."

"You said you want to go to sea? That Widow's Sea? Your father died in there, and you want to go down with him. Hahaha."

Liu Caixia burst into laughter, laughing at his ignorance and at his young age for wanting to go and die.

Yang Bai naturally knew this as well.

Widow Sea is not named after any widow.

It was because too many lives had been lost in that sea, including his father's.

The area was left with a series of widows in the surrounding villages, hence the name Widow Sea.

However, Yang Bai was different.

He made his first fortune by developing Widows Sea.

They knew everything about Widow Sea.

He wanted to seize this opportunity to take control of all the resources in the sea.

"Selling my wife for money." Yang Bai approached Liu Caixia step by step and whispered, "I would never do that, even if it meant drowning myself in the Dead Sea!"

"Fine, very well. You can die in there, son."

Zhang Caixia pulled the mentally challenged man away.

Standing at the door, Su Wanqiu trembled upon hearing the words "selling his wife for money," and anger and sorrow flashed in his cold eyes.

Her father was wrongfully imprisoned, and her husband, who was once her only support, abandoned all remaining affection between them for gambling.

Perhaps I should have given up on him long ago.

Perhaps, this is fate.

Su Wanqiu walked towards Yang Bai, her eyes filled with endless gloom.

There was no hatred in my heart, nor any love.

It was like still water without a ripple.

"Yang Bai, if you dare to sell me out, I'll die right in front of you."

Su Wanqiu left without a trace of regret, leaving Yang Bai bewildered in the wind.

He was bewildered; why was Wanqiu angry?

Did she hear everything he just said, but he firmly refused?

On the contrary, I could detect a hint of resolute determination to die in his tone just now!

Yang Bai's heart sank. The most important thing right now was to pay off the gambling debts owed by the original owner of the body.

He should make amends to his two ex-wives and daughter.

Yang Bai turned his gaze to the vast sea, his expression becoming increasingly resolute.
