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

On one side, Zhang Yuzhen was desperately trying to get the money, while on the other side, Hu Wangfei was desperately trying not to give the wallet to Zhang Yuzhen.

The two sides then began a brutal struggle under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Bao Yuanshan, watching anxiously from the side, stepped forward to mediate, saying, "Stop arguing! Da Hai is saying Wang Feilai Nong. Aren't you just making things worse?"

Upon hearing Bao Yuanshan's words, Zhang Yuzhen, while attacking Hu Wangfei, also angrily rebuked Bao Yuanshan: "Are you surnamed Hu? This is a matter for the Hu family, and you have no right to interfere!"

Seeing that the situation was getting serious, Bao Yuanshan immediately went to find Hu Dahai and asked him to come back and handle it.

Soon, Hu Dahai was called back by Bao Yuanshan.

"What's going on? What are you doing?!" As soon as Hu Dahai entered the house, he immediately questioned the family members.

He rushed forward, snatched the wallet away, and held it firmly in his hand.

"Dad, we just wanted to help," Hu Guanbao said, forcing a smile at Zhang Yuzhen's prompting.

Zhang Yuzhen quickly added, "Yes, Dad, Fei still needs to study, so we can't waste his time. Why don't we do this work? We're sure we can do it well."

Hu Dahai gave Zhang Yuzhen and Hu Guanbao a cold look, especially at Zhang Yuzhen. To be honest, how could Hu Dahai not know what she was up to?

"You guys are going to do this?" Hu Dahai scoffed, then said to Zhang Yuzhen, "You want to do it? Fine, you can."

He took the notebook that Hu Wangfei was recording from the side and slammed it in front of Zhang Yuzhen: "I pay Hu Wangfei 5 cents a day. He has to write down every pound of fish he brings in. I will check it when I get home to see if the money is correct. If the amount is not right, the consequences will be serious. You will have to pay the difference yourself."

"And I also have to check all the fish to see if there are any quality problems. If any dead fish are brought in, he will lose a day's wages."

“If you want to do it, I completely agree. So many villagers are here today. I treat all my children fairly. Now, all three of you are separated from me, Hu Dahai, so I will treat you all the same. As long as you want to do it, I will have absolutely no objection!”

Hu Dahai chuckled inwardly. "Didn't you say you were coming to help? Well then I'll be frank and let's see what you choose to do."

He knew perfectly well what Zhang Yuzhen was planning, and he also knew that Zhang Yuzhen was lazy by nature and would never agree.

At this moment, Hu Wangfei nodded and said, "Yes, I help my dad with chores every day. I earn 5 cents a day. I also wash his clothes, do housework, and take care of the fish."

Zhang Yuzhen looked at the notebook in her hand, feeling dizzy. Hu Wangfei had even written down half a jin (250 grams) clearly. Damn it, forget about trying to tamper with it for personal gain; one slip and he might make a mistake and get fined.

Living such a hard life, only earning 50 cents a night, what kind of money is that? It's definitely a loss.

The villagers nearby also started commenting and gossiping:

"Hu Dahai is really fair; he treats all the children the same. We should also be fair to the children in the future."

"Haha, Zhang Yuzhen probably wanted to take advantage of the situation earlier, but now look what happened. I don't even know if she wanted to do this job."

"Isn't that obvious? Zhang Yuzhen is an idle person. Her family are all like that. They just like to take advantage of others."

"Exactly. If she really wanted to help, she should have said she didn't need any money and just worked for free. That seems unlikely."

"Hu Guanbao is really not a man. He's completely under Zhang Yuzhen's thumb. He has no manly spirit at all. How can he be so useless?"

The villagers now see Hu Dahai's value, so everyone is clearly biased towards him and no longer worried about Zhang Yuzhen. They openly and blatantly help Hu Dahai criticize Zhang Yuzhen and her group.

Feeling the whispers and pointing fingers, Zhang Yuzhen was caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.

If we agree, this job really pays little and is hard work. But if we don't agree, everyone thinks they're here to help, and if they refuse to do it just because it's difficult, then we're just making ourselves look bad.

Zhang Yuzhen quickly changed the subject: "Dad, actually we didn't come here for this."

“Look, our Guanbao is building a house right now, and we’re short on money. I wonder if you could help us out, Dad, and lend us a little money? It’s always right for adults to help their children. Besides, you’re not exactly a high earner right now.”

“If you treat us well now, we will definitely not forget you in the future. After all, you are getting old and will soon be unable to work. You will still have to rely on us.”

She shamelessly spoke to Hu Dahai, and even began to blackmail him, using the future when Hu Dahai was old as leverage.

On the other hand, it's quite normal to borrow money to build a house in the countryside, let alone for one's own family, so Zhang Yuzhen was really going all out.

Hu Dahai chuckled coldly: "You need to borrow money from me to build a house? Are you kidding me? Guan Bao, you should have a thousand or so yuan on you right now. With that much money, you can't afford to build a house?"

"You haven't spent much of my money all these years, have you? You've eaten my food and drunk my drinks, and now you're asking me for money? Have you no shame?!"

"Get out of here, you two," Hu Dahai said without any politeness. He didn't want to see his eldest son and daughter-in-law at all.

After hearing Hu Dahai's words, the villagers around him nodded in agreement:

"Yes, the sea used to wash all your clothes. Even if the sea doesn't give you money, you should still take care of him in his old age!"

"These heartless children! According to them, if Dahai doesn't have money to give them, they won't take care of Dahai in his old age?"

"If you go out like this, your spine will be broken!"

Hu Guanbao also heard everyone's criticism and his face turned slightly red with embarrassment.

At first, he thought his father was favoring Hu Wangfei, but later he realized his father wasn't showing any favoritism at all. Now he feels that Zhang Yuzhen asking Hu Dahai for money was just humiliating herself.

"Come with me!" He grabbed Zhang Yuzhen's hand and immediately walked away from Hu Dahai.

"What are you doing!" After the two had walked for a while, Zhang Yuzhen struggled to break free from Hu Guanbao's grasp.

"What?" Hu Guanbao said angrily, "Aren't you ashamed? We clearly have money, why are you going to my dad to borrow money?"

Zhang Yuzhen's eyes darted around guiltily, but she quickly put on a "I'm thinking of you" look: "What family would complain about having too much money? I'll ask Dad for a little more, and then the money will be yours anyway."

"Good intentions are wasted!"

After saying that, Zhang Yuzhen hurriedly returned to her parents' home. Her family began to worry, after all, there was such a big deficit. At the time, they were only thinking about the house and forgot about this matter.

Suddenly, Zhang's mother's eyes lit up, and she came up with a good idea.

“Then let’s go sell fish too. He earns several hundred a day, and we can earn tens a day. We’ll make a profit! It just so happens that your brother has nothing to do.”

“It’s easy to say, but where do the fish come from? Where are they sold? What do you know?” Mr. Zhang was relatively calmer, and he frowned as he spoke.

Zhang Yuzhen's eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with a solution: "We can also buy fish. As for where to buy them, we just need to have Zude go early in the morning and follow Hu Dahai from a distance, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

“You need money to buy fish. We’re dirt poor right now, we only have a few dollars left, how many fish can we buy?” Mr. Zhang frowned.

“That’s simple. First, we can catch them ourselves. Second, we’ll keep 100 yuan of the money we gave Hu Guanbao to buy fish. We’ll sell the fish tomorrow and then give the money to Hu Guanbao. Those fish that live close to our homes will naturally be sold to us,” Zhang Yuzhen added.

The family members all agreed that it made sense, so the four of them started plotting together, and even Zhang Zude, who was usually a layabout, seriously got involved.
