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

Chapter 16: Clear Distinction Between Gratitude and Resentment, Regardless of Blood Ties

Zhang Zhaoxing doesn't even know how he got through that night.

Anyway, we gritted our teeth and made a series of arrangements to destroy all the raw materials with quality problems, while explaining the reasons to the customers.

In short, he had only one thought in his mind: go home and ask his wife clearly. If what their investigation said was true, then he had to get a divorce. Otherwise, he would suffer endlessly with this family. The more than 100,000 yuan was his and his parents' life savings. He trusted his wife and entrusted it all to her for safekeeping, and now it had been given away like this. You have to understand that in many places these days, being a "ten-thousand-yuan household" is still a very rare thing.

The next morning, Zhang Zhaoxing and his wife went to the civil affairs office early to file for divorce. Zhang Zhaoxing was resolute throughout; no matter how much his wife cried, begged, or even knelt down to plead with him, he was determined to divorce her. In truth, when she decided to secretly help her younger brother, she had already decided that this outcome would come to pass.

After the divorce, it was already past 1 p.m. Zhang Zhaoxing went back to the factory and dismissed all of his wife's relatives who had been placed there. Since they were getting a divorce, they should make things clear.

At the same time, he also received bad news: because of the problem of not being able to deliver the order on time, the client he had worked so hard to attract had a very bad impression of them and canceled the cooperation with them.

Zhang Zhaoxing was mentally prepared for this news. Losing customers and incurring losses for the factory was much better than being imprisoned for several years. At least he still had a chance to turn things around.

After finishing all that, Zhang Zhaoxing immediately went to the supply and marketing cooperative, spent more than 100 yuan to buy a lot of canned goods, malted milk powder, fruit, etc., and drove his motorcycle towards Qunyi Village.

He wanted to thank Hu Dahai properly. If it weren't for Hu Dahai, he didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened to him. He might have even been sent to prison by his wife and her family without realizing it.

......

In Hangzhou, Hu Dahai and his group brought a lot of aquatic products today, filling the entire truck to the brim. Hu Dahai even thought that he might need to get a four-wheeled wooden cart in the future.

When they arrived at the market today, they saw that there were many more people selling fish and snails here, carrying buckets or two large buckets.

Sure enough, in any industry, if the entry barrier is low, the number of people who imitate it will increase rapidly.

Fortunately, Hu Dahai's fish are all well-preserved, and most of them are large, with all kinds available, so many people still choose to buy fish from Hu Dahai.

This time, it took them almost two hours longer than before to sell everything on the cart. They sold all the items for a total of 254 yuan, and after deducting costs, Hu Dahai made a net profit of nearly 150 yuan.

While packing up the cart, Bao Yuanshan couldn't help but worry: "Dahai, why are there so many people selling fish here today? If we buy even more fish today, won't we be able to sell them all tomorrow?"

Hu Dahai patted Bao Yuanshan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if we can't sell all the fish, we can just take them back and sell them again tomorrow. What's the big deal? Besides, I guess we should have other supply channels starting today."

"What channels?" Bao Yuanshan asked curiously. Actually, he was genuinely worried that Hu Dahai's business would fail, since Hu Dahai's three yuan a day was quite a good wage.

"You'll find out tomorrow." Hu Dahai didn't say it aloud, but he guessed that Zhang Zhaoxing must have already investigated everything by now, and might even be coming to his house to find him.

As they talked, they packed up the cart. Hu Dahai then strolled around the market, buying a considerable amount of meat and some other vegetables to take back. He also bought a bunch of strange spices, such as star anise and fennel. When you have money, you can spend it however you want.

When they returned to Qunyi Brigade, Hu Dahai, whose eyesight was excellent, saw a motorcycle parked in front of his house from afar.

"Brother Dahai, you're back!" Zhang Zhaoxing saw Hu Dahai from afar and hurriedly ran over, greeting him with a broad smile.

Hu Dahai took a piece of meat from the cart and handed it to Bao Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, here's some meat for you. Take it back and eat it."

"Ah? No need, you've already paid me." Bao Yuanshan waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to take the meat.

"Take this, consider it food I'm giving to your child. After you finish eating, come to my house and help out." Hu Dahai forcefully stuffed the food into Bao Yuanshan's hands, then gestured for Bao Yuanshan to go back first. Bao Yuanshan was a very honest man; he refused to accept money from his wife and children for the snails they had brought him, so Hu Dahai was repaying them in this way.

In this life, Hu Dahai clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, no longer caring about blood ties or kinship. Whoever treats him well, he will treat them even better; whoever treats him badly, he will retaliate even more fiercely.

Inside the house, Zhang Zhaoxing unloaded a pile of things from the motorcycle.

"Brother Dahai, if it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would have happened to me!" Zhang Zhaoxing held Hu Dahai's hand, tearfully recounting what had happened, even gritting his teeth at the most emotional parts. It was clear how dark this experience had been for him.

"You are my savior. These things are just a small token of my gratitude. I still owe you a huge debt of gratitude. If you need any help, just tell me. I will help you even if I have to go bankrupt!"

As Zhang Zhaoxing spoke, he glanced at Hu Dahai's dilapidated house.

In his view, given Hu Dahai's circumstances, he must desperately need someone to help him financially. He figured Hu Dahai's help was probably just to get some money from him, so before coming today, he had gathered all his savings and was prepared to give Hu Dahai all his possessions.

However, Hu Dahai did not directly answer Zhang Zhaoxing's question. Instead, he said to Zhang Zhaoxing, "Director Zhang, let's put aside me for now and talk about you first. Now that this has happened, that big client should have already broken things off with you, right?"

"And it must have caused considerable losses to your company as well, right? What are you going to do about it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhaoxing sighed, "I haven't figured out what to do yet. My mind is a complete mess. I'll just have to see how things go. I reckon that once the higher-ups find out about this problem, my position as factory director will be in jeopardy."

"Not to mention that there are still many people in the factory who are eyeing my position as factory manager. Maybe in a few days, someone will go up and report me."

However, at that moment, Zhang Zhaoxing suddenly remembered something Hu Dahai had said the day before. Hu Dahai had said that he had a way to improve the food factory's business, and that he didn't want to hear it yesterday.

Zhang Zhaoxing suddenly raised his head, looking at Hu Dahai with burning eyes, and said, "Brother Dahai, do you have any way to help me? If you can help me, I, Zhang Zhaoxing, will be your brother for life and follow you without question."

For a moment, he didn't know what he had to give Hu Dahai, nor did he know what Hu Dahai wanted. So he just said this for now, thinking he would repay Hu Dahai when the opportunity arose later.

Hu Dahai smiled and said, "I do have a solution, but after I tell you about it, you'll have to give me some benefits in return."

"What method?!" Zhang Zhaoxing's eyes widened. He hadn't expected that Hu Dahai actually had a solution.

"I'll come to your factory tomorrow morning, and you'll find out then." Hu Dahai smiled slightly, not saying everything, which made Zhang Zhaoxing very curious.

However, Hu Dahai was extremely tight-lipped, so Zhang Zhaoxing had no choice but to go back.

However, Zhang Zhaoxing had just left.

Hu Dahai saw Hu Wangfei return home looking somewhat dejected, covered in mud from head to toe, carrying a half-full bucket of water, a stark contrast to his excited return home yesterday.
