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

"what?!"

Upon hearing Li Wude's words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Gu Huaiyuan was now tinged with mockery and ridicule.

"Didn't he say that Hu Dahai was behind it? That Hu Dahai brought sick chickens to his farm, which killed all his chickens?"

"That's right, so it turns out that all the farms have problems. Could it be that Hu Dahai went and dumped all the sick chickens from all the farms in the county and township?"

“I knew it couldn’t be Hu Dahai bullying Gu Huaiyuan. It must be that Gu Huaiyuan himself didn’t understand and didn’t take good care of his chickens. When he found that many of his chickens had died, he wanted to find Hu Dahai to be a sucker and make him pay him money.”

"Pah! I never imagined Gu Huaiyuan would be this kind of person. I used to buy chickens from him all the time during the Chinese New Year!"

"Shameless! I didn't know what was going on before, and I even felt a little sorry for him. Now I just want to beat him up!"

The villagers all turned their guns on Gu Huaiyuan and began to criticize him.

Gu Huaiyuan was dumbfounded amidst everyone's accusations.

Or rather, he simply had no time to heed the accusations from these villagers.

He asked Li Wude in disbelief, "Captain, you're not kidding, are you?"

"What kind of joke would I be making? We received this notice first thing this morning, and I came to tell you right away. The higher-ups told us to inform you to close the farm as soon as possible and not let any birds or other animals in," Li Wude said seriously.

"Now it's not just you; many farms, especially those raising chickens and ducks, are experiencing large-scale disease and death."

"Most of them were discovered last night, so your discovery today is considered relatively late."

"Experts are already quickly investigating the cause. What are you still doing here? Hurry back and take care of your chickens and ducks, lest they all get infected."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Gu Huaiyuan seemed to lose all his spirit.

He lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

His eyes were lifeless, and he muttered, "It's over, it's all over."

"What's wrong with you!" Li Wude had just come in and had no idea what was going on. He grabbed Gu Huaiyuan and asked, "Why are you sitting on the ground? How many can we save now? Hurry up and save as many as possible!"

"Hahahaha." Gu Huaiyuan immediately burst into laughter, but his laughter was somewhat manic.

"What can be saved!" Gu Huaiyuan laughed, then said helplessly, "When I checked this morning, it was already more than half sick. What can be saved now? Those who were going to get it have already gotten it."

As Gu Huaiyuan spoke, his eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face.

“That’s all my savings. I was thinking of raising some chickens so I could sell eggs and chicken meat and finally live a better life.”

"I never expected this! I never expected that chickens could get sick, could have fowl plague, and could even die!"

"Now I'm going to lose all my money! My time, my energy, my money, all gone, all gone!"

Gu Huaiyuan was speaking in a manner that could be described as hysterical.

It sounded like a roar, a complaint, and a lament.

He was stomping his feet as he spoke.

However, no one in the room sympathized with him.

If he hadn't tried to frame Hu Dahai and make him bear the losses, everyone would probably have felt sorry for him, and some might even have offered a helping hand, even if it was just to clean up his mahjong shop.

Especially since Gu Huaiyuan rented the hemp station from their brigade, and now that Gu Huaiyuan is facing this problem, if everyone sympathizes with him, then giving him a slight reduction in the rent should make things a little easier for him.

But now, everyone is just watching him coldly, not a single person is offering comfort, let alone considering his feelings.

Li Wude, who was supporting Gu Huaiyuan, was told the truth by those around him.

In a flash, he withdrew his hand, and as soon as he did, Gu Huaiyuan collapsed to the ground.

Such a person is not worth his help. If he had known that he would dare to wrong Hu Dahai, he would not have even told Gu Huaiyuan about this message from above.

Li Wude put his hands on his hips and said to Gu Huaiyuan, "Gu Huaiyuan, you're such a scoundrel. Dahai was really good to you back then. You didn't even give up the hemp station, but he still reminded you and told you that there was chicken plague in the south, so you should be careful."

"Now look what's happened! You didn't value Da Hai's words, which killed all your chickens, and now you're trying to frame and extort Da Hai? Are you even human?"

As he spoke, he waved to the onlookers and said, "Everyone, disperse. Go do whatever work you have to do. Do you think anyone's going to pay you here? What's so interesting about this kind of person?"

As the crowd dispersed, Li Wude looked at Gu Huaiyuan, who was still slumped on the ground wiping away tears, and said impatiently, "Huaiyuan, you'd better watch yourself."

Before leaving, he remembered something: "Oh, right, don't forget to pay me your rent. After all, this money isn't mine; it's our brigade's collective fund. It's your problem if you're having difficulties, but you can't not pay our rent. Otherwise, everyone will come after me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Huaiyuan lost all will to cry; all that remained in his mind was sorrow.

He's lost all his chickens and can't sell them to make money anymore. So how will he pay his rent?

At this moment, Gu Huaiyuan felt extremely regretful: If he had known this would happen, he should have given the mahjong station to Hu Dahai in the first place, since Hu Dahai had offered to pay the rent for him.

Even if we take a step back and admit that I didn't give up the hemp station to Hu Dahai back then, I should have listened to Hu Dahai's words a little more and paid attention to the chicken plague!

Faced with this situation, Gu Huaiyuan had no idea what to do.

The relevant authorities cannot hide the fact that there is chicken plague, nor would they dare to.

So soon, people were talking about chicken plague everywhere, on the streets and in the alleys.

"Do you know what? Right now, it seems like a chicken plague has suddenly broken out here. Everything was fine before, and then it just started all of a sudden."

“I’ve also heard about this. I have a relative who runs a poultry farm in his village. He had three or four hundred chickens, and they all died overnight.”

"Tsk tsk, now many of us are afraid to eat chicken and duck, for fear that if we eat them, we will also get infected with chicken plague."

"If I had known that people were buying duck products in large quantities at the market back then, I would have bought some too. Now that I eat pork every day, I actually miss the taste of chicken and duck."

"Are you stupid? If you want chicken, I can't stop you, but if you want duck, just buy those braised duck products! I guarantee that their duck products are all the good ones from back then. They bought a huge amount, and I bet they couldn't use them up for months."

"That makes sense. I'll go buy some right now."

And so, in a short time, Wang Jian and his team's braised duck business became incredibly popular.

Every time they take out their braised duck products to sell, they are immediately sold out. They are delicious and inexpensive, what more could you ask for?

As the chicken plague continues, pork prices have gradually risen, increasing by at least 30% in just a few days.

At Huang Renfa's home, Huang Renfa had already slapped his thigh until it was swollen.
