A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

The truth will out eventually, even though Du Tianchuan's family had tried their best to keep the news a secret.

But cucumbers that don't bear fruit eventually can't be hidden away.

With some people in the brigade secretly stirring things up, the news spread like wildfire, and soon everyone in the Lingdong Brigade knew about it.

That morning, when Du Tianchuan and his family got up and opened the door, they saw that their doorway was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.

They were all villagers from Lingdong Brigade.

Upon seeing these people, Du Tianchuan inwardly knew something was wrong.

But it was too late to close the door and go back in.

Someone stepped forward first, blocking Du Tianchuan's way back into the house.

"Captain, aren't you going to give us an explanation for this?"

Someone said angrily.

Once one person speaks, the others naturally follow suit:

"That's right, you have to give us an explanation. All the money in our brigade has been squandered by your family."

"All you do is waste money, but none of the methods you've come up with have made us any money. Don't you have an explanation for that?"

"This is all money that our fellow villagers have worked hard to earn. How can you waste it so easily?"

People from the countryside tend to spit when they talk.

With so many people, each one spitting at you, it would be enough for Du Tianchuan to wash his face.

Du Tianchuan still wanted to use the same old excuses to fool these people.

Unfortunately, this time, it's clear that no one bought into it.

Inside the room, just as Du Tianchuan was about to be overwhelmed by everyone, Lu Wenlong stepped forward and stood in front of the crowd.

When Lu Wenlong came out, the voices in the crowd immediately quieted down.

But some people still kept grumbling and complaining.

Those whose children worked for Lu Wenlong went up to him, grabbed his hand, and complained:

"Wenlong, you have to help me think of a solution to this. All the money my son has earned with you over the years has been invested in me, and now we're so poor we can't even afford to eat."

"Yes, it's tough for us too. We really trusted you back then, which is why we put all our money into supporting you. Who knew it would be like throwing a stone into the ocean, only making a splash?"

Lu Wenlong originally thought that his intervention would make things better, but these people's words immediately left him speechless and unable to explain.

It was clear that this matter was not going to be resolved.

Du Tianchuan had no choice but to stop Du Wu, who was howling at home and wanted to go out.

The family members took out the last of their money and the money Lu Wenlong had and distributed it to those who had invested, as a way of refunding them part of their money. This at least stabilized a group of people.

But Du Tianchuan really couldn't repay the collective funds owed to the brigade.

Du Tianchuan had no choice but to sigh, "Since I have caused losses to the brigade, I have no face to continue being the brigade leader."

"I'm stepping down from my position as battalion commander today. You can find someone else to fill the role."

Everyone knew that it was impossible for Du Tianchuan to actually make up for all the money the brigade had lost.

His willingness to relinquish the position of battalion commander has already greatly pleased those who were behind the scenes.

And so, these out-of-season cucumbers became the final straw that broke Du Tianchuan's back.

This not only caused him to lose all his prestige in the Lingdong Brigade, but also drained his family's and even Lu Wenlong's personal wealth.

The family sat at home, looking dejected and truly sighing in despair.

Du Wu kept muttering curses from the side, while Du Tianchuan silently puffed on his cigarette.

Only Lu Wenlong's face alternated between pale and flushed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

......

Recently, Hu Dahai has been busy at home every day making seasonings for the food factory and Wang Jian's Qianmen.

When I have free time, I go to the open space over the quarry to see how the cultivation room is being built.

As for the fish-selling business, Hu Dahai has entrusted Guan Asan with handling it entirely.

Given his relationship with the directors of the two state-owned factories, the food factory and the textile factory, I believe they wouldn't try anything underhanded.

Every day, Guan Asan would honestly return with cash and account books and hand them all over to Hu Dahai.

As for off-season vegetables, Ye Qinggang has been away for a while now, and Bao Yuanshan has been handling the sales and cash collection on his own.

Hu Dahai didn't know how Ye Qinggang was doing. He had to admit that these days, everything was good—the air was fresh, the environment for making money was good—the only bad thing was that communication was inconvenient.

However, Hu Dahai believed in Ye Qinggang's abilities and thought that Ye Qinggang would surely bring back good news when he returned.

That evening, Hu Dahai had just returned from the construction site of the mushroom cultivation room that was under construction.

Then we saw Hu Wangfei running excitedly from a distance.

As he ran, he grinned and made "ge ge ge" sounds.

It is evident that he must have felt an irrepressible joy.

"Father, Father, Father!"

Upon seeing Hu Dahai, Hu Wangfei immediately ran even faster, appearing as if in a flash to block Hu Dahai's path before he entered the house.

Because now, Hu Dahai's house is considered a popular spot in the entire Qunyi Brigade, many villagers like to intentionally or unintentionally come to Hu Dahai's house to chat.

Seeing that Hu Dahai is now building a black fungus cultivation room, they thought that if Hu Dahai needed to hire new people, their family could find out in advance and apply for the job early.

Hu Wangfei's hurried appearance naturally attracted the attention of many people.

They all looked at Hu Wangfei with curiosity, wanting to know what made him so happy.

Hu Wangfei was also very cunning and wanted to take advantage of this.

He quickly pulled out several test papers from the "cloth bag" he had made himself by sewing two ropes onto a urea bag.

"Dad, look at the test paper! I got first place in the class in this school's mock exam!"

"My teacher said that as long as I keep this up, I'm guaranteed admission to university next semester!"

Hear his words.

Immediately, gasps of astonishment filled the air around them.

"Wow! Wang Fei has really made something of himself! He got first place in the class on the exam! Could he be the first college student in our brigade?"

"Incredible! The God of Literature has descended to earth! I never imagined that our Qunyi Brigade had such a little genius!"

"Last time, that kid from so-and-so's family got into a junior college and threw a banquet in the village. If Wang Fei really gets into university, won't he have to treat the whole village to a meal?"

"What?! If my son got into university, I'd hire an opera troupe to perform in the village for three days straight!"

The villagers' words, half flattering and half envious, naturally reached the ears of Hu Wangfei and Hu Dahai.

Hu Wangfei's lips curled slightly.

He secretly rejoiced: "Hmph, what can my older brother do to compete with me? I'm about to become the first college student in Qunyi Brigade! Dad will be so proud then, he'll definitely like me even more!"

Hu Wangfei felt that Hu Dahai's indifference to his studies, coupled with his recent harshness towards him, was all an act, mainly intended to motivate him to study hard.

If he really gets good results and comes back, Hu Dahai will be overjoyed and will treat him like a treasure, just like before.

However, Hu Wangfei no longer dares to hope that Hu Dahai will treat him like he used to. He would be satisfied as long as Hu Dahai pays him a little attention and praises him a few times.

At the very least, pat yourself on the head and give yourself a little encouragement.

Even Hu Wangfei himself didn't know why his expectations for Hu Dahai had become so low.

However, just as Hu Wangfei proudly raised his head, ready to receive Hu Dahai's caress...

"Snapped!"
