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

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Wangfei immediately raised his head. It seemed like things were taking a turn for the better? It seemed like he might have a chance to go back to school?

He looked intently at Hu Dahai and said confidently again, "Okay, Dad, as long as I can go to school, I will absolutely fulfill the conditions you set."

Hu Dahai didn't look at him and continued to dry the fish. To be honest, although Hu Wangfei was immature, he was still an upright person. At least he wouldn't use any underhanded means or think of using any crooked methods to profit.

On this point, Hu Dahai is the one that Hu Wangfei agrees with the most.

However, this is not a reason for him to let him go. Thinking about the suffering he endured in his previous life, Hu Dahai would not be soft-hearted at all now.

He said decisively, "If you want to study, you'll have to do all the housework, wash your clothes and pants, wash the dishes and chopsticks, and keep the house clean. This will be to offset the cost of your meals."

“I can pay your tuition, but you have to write me an IOU. Every night after you get home, you have to collect the fish for me and take good care of them. You have to fill the water in those jars at least five times a day. I'll give you 5 cents a day.”

"By the way, you still need to give me 5 yuan every month, that's for the rent from my house, and you also need to pay me back my tuition. That way, you should still have money left over, and you can buy your own clothes and pants."

Hu Dahai's plan can be said to have completely controlled Hu Wangfei's time and money.

Hu Wangfei knew, of course, that once he agreed, he would have to get up very early every morning to do housework before going to school. After returning home in the evening, he would also have to work hard before he could rest. He would be as busy as a camel.

"But Dad, if I want to study, I still have homework to do and I have to read books when I get home. Wouldn't that mean I won't have time to consolidate my learning?" Hu Wangfei still wanted to try his best.

"That's not my problem, that's your problem. If you don't have time to go home and read, can't you read more during the day? If you don't have time to study and consolidate, can't you listen carefully in class during the day?" Hu Dahai shook his head indifferently: "If you don't want it, then you can continue to make money. I don't care."

As they were talking, Hu Dahai had already finished the belly of the fish in front of him, leaving only the head and tail. The fish was a bit too big for him to finish.

Hu Dahai patted his stomach, prepared to stand up, and began to tidy up.

"I agree! I agree!" Hu Wangfei panicked again upon hearing this, and quickly grabbed Hu Dahai, repeatedly agreeing.

"Okay," Hu Dahai replied indifferently.

As he spoke, he took out more than ten yuan from his pocket: "This is your tuition fee. Take it to school yourself tomorrow."

Just as Hu Wangfei was about to take it, Hu Dahai pulled it back: "No, you have to write me the IOU first."

Hu Wangfei: "..."

This dad is really strict now, really harsh, even stricter with himself than with outsiders.

But he had no choice but to give in, so he reluctantly went to his room, wrote an IOU, and signed his name.

"Dad, aren't you coming to school with me tomorrow? I'm worried they won't let me go if I go by myself," Hu Wangfei asked again, holding the money he had borrowed from his father.

“I’m not going!” Hu Dahai immediately refused: “You were the one who didn’t want to study back then, so you have to beg and plead yourself. If your principal won’t let you study, then you should kneel at the school gate.”

Hu Wangfei: "..."

In just that short period of time, he felt as if his life had been turned upside down.

My once happy life of studying has become such a mess because I didn't want to study anymore.

"Sigh, if only I hadn't dropped out of school back then, I would have studied properly and gone to university." Hu Wangfei couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Dahai ignored his sentiments and pointed to the leftovers on the table: "Eat some if you're hungry. After you're done, wash the dishes and your clothes."

"The fishmonger will be here soon. Prepare a notebook and write down how many fish you buy each day. I will also check the fish regularly. By the way, if you make a mistake when buying fish, or if you buy dead fish, I will deduct money from your pay."

After saying that, Hu Dahai went back to his room. He needed to prepare the spices for Zhang Zhaoxing's food factory tomorrow, since they would be starting mass production soon, which would require a significant increase in spices. As for collecting the fish, with Hu Wangfei as cheap labor, things were much easier for him.

Hu Wangfei was left with a look of utter despair, feeling like he was the most miserable person around.

But then Hu Wangfei thought again and realized that he wasn't so bad off. At least he had a stable job that paid 50 cents a day, which would earn him 15 a month. He could give 5 to his father and still have 10 left!

This income is already quite good! His good friends, even working themselves to the bone for a month, probably wouldn't earn 10 yuan. If Hu Dahai were to post this job, I bet many people would be scrambling to take it. After all, this job is easier and more lucrative than breaking stones in a quarry!

Thinking about it this way, Hu Wangfei began to cherish the opportunity Hu Dahai had given him. He realized that Hu Dahai was truly good to him; if he weren't Hu Dahai's son, he certainly wouldn't have given him this job opportunity.

I have to work hard. My dad is so strict with me now. If I don't do well, he'll really give this job to someone else. At that time, I won't have money to go to school, and if I want to earn money, it will be hard and I won't earn much. That will be a really tough time.

As for studying, I'll study hard during the day and strive to get into university this year!

Thinking of this, he quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then neatly began cleaning the kitchen and doing the laundry. He used to wash dishes and clothes casually, but today he washed them meticulously, leaving not a trace of grease, determined to absolutely satisfy Hu Dahai.

After Hu Wangfei finished tidying up the house and washing the clothes and dishes.

Those who came to sell fish also came over, and Bao Yuanshan also came over to help collect the fish. When he saw that it was Hu Wangfei collecting the fish for them, he was surprised.

The villagers all looked puzzled:

"Wangfei, why did your dad ask you to collect the fish today?"

"Yeah, Wangfei, you've always disliked your dad, but you've changed your mind today?"

Hu Wangfei glanced humbly at Hu Dahai's room and said modestly, "I was ignorant before, but now I realize that my father is the best to me. I must work hard for him!"

The villagers nodded in agreement: "Wangfei has become sensible; he knows how to be considerate of his father."

Upon hearing this, Bao Yuanshan's eyes widened instantly. He looked at Hu Wangfei with disbelief, because he remembered that the Hu Wangfei of the past was not like this, and even the Hu Wangfei of yesterday was not like this.

He always believed in himself, disliked Hu Dahai, and even harbored resentment towards him.

Why did he suddenly become so sensible today?

Just then, Bao Yuanshan suddenly remembered what Hu Dahai had told him a few days ago, and thought about Hu Dahai's attitude towards Hu Wangfei in recent days. Could it really be as Hu Dahai said back then, that the more you discipline a child, the less grateful the child will be, and the more resentful they will be; and the less you discipline a child, the more grateful they will be?

Bao Yuanshan couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling an itch inside: So should he be good to the child, or not so good to the child?

......

But just as Hu Dahai was busily collecting fish at home...

Back in town, Hu Wangmei had already started packing her things. Tomorrow, she wouldn't be staying at her classmate's house anymore; she had to go home. This trip home was crucial for her.
