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

Recently, Hu Dahai from the Qunyi Brigade has been feeling that Bao Yuanshan is acting a bit strange.

In his memory, Bao Yuanshan used to be very energetic, and he would greet Hu Dahai warmly every time he saw him, as if he had inexhaustible energy.

Sometimes Bao Yuanshan would stay up all night and then help with shipping orders during the day. Everyone told him to take a break, but he refused. Even Hu Dahai sometimes had to admire Bao Yuanshan's energy.

But recently, when Hu Dahai saw Bao Yuanshan, he noticed that the dark circles under his eyes were unusually thick, and he even seemed reluctant to talk to others.

So Hu Dahai asked Guan Asan if they had been spending more time together lately.

“Brother Dahai, you noticed it too? I was asking Uncle Yuanshan yesterday, but he didn’t say anything, just that something came up at home.”

Guan A-San scratched his head and said.

Hu Dahai was stunned for a moment after hearing his answer. What did he mean by "Brother Dahai" and "Uncle Yuanshan"?

Bao Yuanshan and I grew up together, practically inseparable. How come my seniority seems to be declining?

However, Hu Dahai did not correct him. Anyway, he looked much younger than Bao Yuanshan. Not only did he not look as old as Bao Yuanshan, but even Guan Asan's skin was not as smooth as his. So it was not too much for him to call him Brother Dahai.

"Okay, I understand." Hu Dahai nodded and returned home.

As soon as he got home, he saw Bao Yuanshan standing on the stone threshold of his house.

His hands rested limply on his knees, his gaze fixed ahead, lost in a daze. He seemed as if his soul had been ripped from his body.

"Yuanshan, what's wrong?" Hu Dahai stepped forward.

"Ah, Dahai, you're back? I have something I feel I need to tell you." Bai Yuanshan forced a smile.

After the two entered the house, Bai Yuanshan hesitated and didn't know how to start the conversation.

“Yuanshan, we’ve been friends for so long. Just say what you want to say,” Hu Dahai said.

"Huh."

Bao Yuanshan sighed: "Dahai, I might not work for you anymore."

"Huh?" Hu Dahai was taken aback: "You were doing just fine, why are you suddenly quitting? Do you think the salary I'm paying you is too low?"

"No, no," Bai Yuanshan waved his hands repeatedly.

"The salary you pay me is already very high. I'm very satisfied."

"Then what's your reason?" Hu Dahai asked, puzzled.

Bao Yuanshan remained silent this time.

After a long silence, he slapped his thigh hard. As if making a firm decision, he said:

"It's all because of my good-for-nothing son. I don't know what happened to him, he just lost his mind. He was helping us with that off-season vegetable business before, and I thought he had really matured a lot."

"Who would have thought that a few days ago he would suddenly tell me that he also wanted to grow out-of-season vegetables. He even said that I could do everything with you and could get some seeds from you to help him. How could I possibly agree to that?"

“This is your business. If I were to take seeds or technology from you, what kind of person would I, Bao Yuanshan, become?”

Hu Dahai remained silent, waiting to see how Bao Yuanshan would make his decision.

He needed to figure out if Bao Yuanshan wanted to plead with him, trying to get him to help his son by refusing to do anything himself.

Or perhaps they simply don't want their child to be forced to do things that violate morality, so they'd rather not do it with Hu Dahai themselves.

If it's the former, Hu Dahai would agree to his request to leave without hesitation. But if it's the latter, Hu Dahai feels that he doesn't need to interfere too much; he might figure it out on his own.

Sure enough, Bao Yuanshan continued, "Dahai, I've earned quite a bit of money working for you these past few days, and I'm very grateful to you."

"This also led my child to think that if that's the case, I might as well not do it, so that my child wouldn't have this thought."

“Sometimes, when you have a lot of money, people really do change. I used to think my husband Bao Chengguo was a very down-to-earth person. He actually thought he was a natural businessman.”

“I will continue to work at the quarry to break stones in the future, so that I can put an end to his idea.”

Hu Dahai remained silent for a while, then poured Bao Yuanshan a glass of water.

He asked patiently, "Yuanshan, how did your son know about the money you earned?"

Bao Yuanshan smiled awkwardly: "I was thinking that since I only have one son, all my money will eventually belong to him. So when he asked me how much money I had, I basically told him everything."

Hu Dahai was speechless.

All the things I said to him earlier were basically wasted.

When they went to the quarry together to cut stones, Hu Dahai reminded him that one should take care of oneself. It seems that Bao Yuanshan hasn't yet come to his senses from his past thinking.

"Sigh, if only my children were as well-behaved as your two sons," Bao Yuanshan sighed.

Hu Dahai followed up on his words, saying, "Do you still remember the relationship between me and my children? Back then, you thought my children were troublesome, but now you envy them for being easy to manage."

Bao Yuanshan was taken aback when he heard this. He suddenly thought of the situation at Hu Dahai's house earlier.

“This…” Bao Yuanshan’s mind was racing.

I thought of the attitude Hu Dahai had received in the past, and how he had nurtured his children back then.

I also thought about Hu Dahai's recent change. I realized that Hu Dahai doesn't care about the children at all now. He always puts himself first when it comes to food, drink, and other necessities.

On the contrary, Hu Wangfei and Hu Guanbao were even more filial to Hu Dahai, and even more obedient.

Hu Dahai looked at Bao Yuanshan, who was deep in thought, and repeated what he had said to him at the quarry.

"Yuanshan, have you ever thought about how your children will treat you when we get old and have no money? Can you guarantee that they will treat you well?"

“Let me give you three examples. One is that you gave all your money to your children when you were young, and now you have no money left when you get old. The second is that you are old and you have money, but your son knows how much money you have. The third is that you are old, but your son doesn’t know how much money you have. The only thing he knows is that as long as you live, you can receive a sum of money every year.”

"In which of these three situations do you think your son would treat you the best?"

After pondering for a long time, Bao Yuanshan said, "The first option is definitely not going to work, but the second and third options are probably okay."

“Wrong!” Hu Dahai immediately retorted, “If you are the second type, then you are finished, because your son will be hoping you die sooner so that he can immediately take the money from you. If you don’t die, he won’t get the money.”

Upon hearing this, Bao Yuanshan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

It was as if Hu Dahai had opened up a new world for him.
