The person knocking on the door was none other than his eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Yuzhen.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! Why are you banging on me!" Hu Dahai was annoyed and got out of bed, slamming the door open.

It has to be said that after being modified by that liquid, his body was full of power, and he even walked with energy.

As the door opened, Hu Dahai was greeted by his short and ugly eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Yuzhen.

There was no other way; poor families could only find ugly wives that no one else wanted.

"What kind of tone is that? Do you know you didn't wash my clothes yesterday? I have nothing to wear today! And what time is it? Aren't you going to get up and cook us breakfast? We're starving!" Zhang Yuzhen scolded Hu Dahai, her fingers almost poking into his nostrils.

Zhang Yuzhen is very short, but she has a very loud voice. Her shrill voice almost pierced through the ceiling.

Hu Dahai knew that Zhang Yuzhen was deliberately making things difficult for him because she wouldn't allow her eldest son's family to separate from hers. Moreover, not long ago, Hu Dahai had gone directly to his eldest son Hu Guanbao's workplace and taken away his salary.

Of course, the reason he did these offensive things was not because he wanted to take advantage of his son and daughter-in-law, but because he knew that his eldest daughter-in-law was a madwoman. If the money and the land fell into the hands of his eldest son, Zhang Yuzhen would send them to her parents' home sooner or later.

Hu Guanbao is an honest and hardworking man, but he has one flaw: he values ​​his wife too much. He is afraid that if he loses Zhang Yuzhen, he will never be able to find another wife. So whenever Zhang Yuzhen makes a fuss about getting a divorce or says a few nice words, Hu Guanbao immediately gives her the money.

In his previous life, Hu Dahai had worried himself sick over this son, enduring much criticism and saving money for Hu Guanbao. When Hu Guanbao fell ill, Zhang Yuzhen was about to give up on treatment, but Hu Dahai secretly borrowed money to pay for his surgery and cured him. Unexpectedly, after he was discharged, Zhang Yuzhen claimed that she had paid for it, and Hu Guanbao actually believed her.

Thinking of this, Hu Dahai shook his head inwardly. What was the point of keeping such a stupid son?

He glanced at Zhang Yuzhen sideways: "Don't you have hands or feet? Do I have to wash your clothes and pants? If you're hungry, can't you go buy some yourself or cook for yourself?"

Zhang Yuzhen was taken aback by Hu Dahai's words and didn't react for a moment.

In the past, whenever she scolded Hu Dahai, he would always agree and immediately do as she was told. Why did he dare to talk back to her today?

Can this be tolerated?

Zhang Yuzhen immediately flew into a rage: "You old bastard, you took Hu Guanbao's money, so you should work for us! Be our slave!"

"This is what we paid for!"

Hu Dahai chuckled: "You eat my food and drink my drinks. You're the daughter-in-law I paid the bride price for, and you didn't bring any dowry. What, now you won't let me ask my son for some money back?"

"Besides, sons and daughters-in-law should be filial to their fathers. Have you been filial? Not only have you not been, but you also expect me to be your slave? How can you say such things? Is this how your parents taught you? Even people without parents wouldn't do such a rebellious thing."

Hu Dahai completely changed his previous timid demeanor and spoke very quickly. Zhang Yuzhen was speechless because what Hu Dahai said was all true.

But as a rogue, if she can't win an argument, she can make a scene.

She sprawled out on the ground and began screaming, "Murder! My father-in-law is going to kill me, his daughter-in-law!"

"We can't even separate the family property, and now they're treating me like a human being!"

They shouted and yelled at the same time.

Soon, Hu Guanbao also rushed out of the house upon hearing the noise: "What's wrong? What's wrong!"

A group of neighbors had gathered outside their house to watch the spectacle. In the countryside, gossip about this family and that family is always the biggest piece of entertainment news.

Zhang Yuzhen was about to distort the truth when Hu Dahai preemptively said, "I know, you two just want to separate from the family, right? I agree."

As soon as these words came out.

Hu Guanbao immediately looked at Hu Dahai, and even Zhang Yuzhen on the ground stopped wailing.

Because, isn't this what they've always longed for? Oh, no, it should be what Zhang Yuzhen has always longed for.

"Dad, do you agree to us separating the family?" Hu Guanbao felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. He didn't really care about separating the family; he wanted to stay by his father's side and be filial, after all, his father hadn't had a hard time these past years. But it was only because his wife was making such a fuss that he wanted to separate the family.

Faced with a domineering wife and a weak father, he chose to let his father suffer a little longer.

"What's there to disagree with? You're all grown up now. You can live however you want from now on." Hu Dahai waved his hand, his face calm, but inwardly he was secretly delighted. These burdens should all get out of here.

"Dad! That's great!" Hu Guanbao's cry of "Dad" was full of genuine emotion. Indeed, a son is only a good son when he benefits from something.

The neighbors nearby were also muttering to themselves:

"Da Hai finally realized that there was no point in keeping such a son around; he was just a beast of burden who wouldn't be appreciated."

"Yes, the sea has a hard life, and it has to suffer on its own."

"What do you know? Dahai is old. Can't you see how old he is? He looks like a little old man. Who will take care of him in his old age?"

"I feel like the sea looks whiter and plumper today, and it looks younger."

"You noticed it too, I was actually about to say that as well. It's probably because of the lighting."

......

Because my family was poor, there wasn't much to be allocated, so I went to the brigade to register.

They temporarily left the house that Hu Guanbao and his family had originally lived in to them. Once Hu Guanbao and his family finished building their house, the house would be returned to Hu Dahai.

Hu Guanbao and his group were anxious, and as soon as they returned that day, they immediately sealed off the doors to their house and Hu Dahai's living room.

Just as Hu Guanbao was building the wall.

Looking at Hu Guanbao, who was working up a sweat, and Zhang Yuzhen, who had already gone back to her parents' home to report the good news, Hu Dahai suddenly thought of something.

He stepped forward and said to Hu Guanbao, "Guanbao, although I really don't want you to split up, since you've asked, I can only support you."

“Even though we’ve separated from the family, you know in your heart how good I’ve been to you all these years. I’ve never wronged you in any way, big or small, and I’ve always handled everything for you properly. So from now on, you have to give me 5 yuan every month as a way to support me in my old age. I won’t take care of you anymore. Do you think that’s too much to ask?”

Hu Guanbao hesitated for a moment, but then he suddenly remembered something and nodded, saying, "Okay, Dad, I promise you, I'll give you any money I have in the future."

Hu Dahai originally thought that he was going to say something like he would discuss it with his wife, or that he might even refuse in the end. He never expected that Hu Guanbao would agree so readily.

Of course, Hu Dahai didn't really intend to ask them for money. He was reborn and had Tianping around, so making money was only a matter of time. He just asked casually. It would be best if he could get some money, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't.

Looking at his honest and simple eldest son, it seemed that he still had some filial piety at this moment. However, Hu Dahai could foresee how difficult his future life would be. So he added, "Be careful of your wife. She's no good. You should divorce her as soon as possible, lest you be harmed."

But this one sentence displeased Hu Guanbao. Hearing the word "divorce" gave him a headache.

"Who gave you permission to speak ill of Yuzhen?!" Hu Guanbao was furious. His long-suppressed emotions exploded instantly. He suddenly lost his temper and punched Hu Dahai in the face.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp slap.

Hu Dahai was fine, but Hu Guanbao's right cheek was swollen.

Hu Dahai's physique, having been altered by the water in the copper cup, is far superior to Hu Guanbao's.

That slap knocked Hu Guanbao unconscious.

"You don't appreciate kindness." Hu Dahai was surprised that his son was so stupid and stubborn. He slapped him again and then walked away with his hands behind his back.

To be honest, it felt pretty good to beat up this ingrate.

Hu Guanbao's mind was a complete mess. Although the anger from being beaten told him that he should hurry up and fight his father, reason told him that he probably couldn't beat his father. He didn't expect his father to be so strong at his age.

At the same time, he was also a little scared. What was wrong with him? How could he have acted so impulsively and actually fought with his own father?

Hu Dahai returned to the kitchen, his stomach growling with hunger. He looked at the few eggs in the cupboard that he had saved for the children, but he couldn't bear to eat them himself.

He took out all four eggs and made one egg into four different dishes.

One steamed egg, one poached egg, one scrambled egg, and one sweet egg drop soup.

Half an hour later, after eating all four eggs, he immediately felt a warm sensation in his stomach.

I am very satisfied.

This body hasn't eaten an egg in who knows how long.

While eating the eggs just now, he felt a strong craving in his body.

Hu Dahai patted his somewhat satisfied belly:

"Oh, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that, but from now on, you'll never have to suffer like this again. I'll go buy you some meat in a bit!"

But when he reached into his pocket, he found that he only had one cent on him. Not to mention buying meat, even a pound of rice would cost thirteen cents!

Damn it, hurry up and go out and make some money!

Before leaving, Hu Dahai habitually checked his mind again.

Ok?

Four or five more drops of water appeared in the copper cup.

So how did the extra come about?

Hu Dahai thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out.

But once he had water, he couldn't resist pouring it all into his body.

After all, improving his physical condition is more important to him than anything else right now.

After the tingling sensation subsided, Hu felt that he had regained his strength. He was a little unaccustomed to it at first.

This water is truly peculiar; let's name it Holy Water.

As Hu Dahai was thinking this, someone outside suddenly called him:

"Dahai, let's go! If we're a day late, we won't be able to fill a whole bucket of stones!"
