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

In Qunyi Brigade, Hu Guanbao's house has been put on hold for the past few days because Hu Guanbao no longer has enough money to buy enough building materials.

When the villagers saw that they had stopped building the house halfway through, they all found it funny and mocked them for starting things but not finishing them.

In fact, Hu Guanbao was also very sad to see that his house had been put on hold after only being started. Who wouldn't want to finish building the house in one go? But there was nothing he could do. He had also recently heard that Zhang Zude's family had run into trouble, and it was normal for Zhang Yuzhen to give them their money to tide them over.

In addition, Zhang Yuzhen had been really good to him these past few days, which made Hu Guanbao feel that the money was well spent, and he would just take his time building the house.

“Guanbao, your dad is really rich. Does he really not want to lend us money? It’s not like we won’t pay it back. You can pay him back when you make money.” Zhang Yuzhen had actually been eyeing Hu Dahai’s money for a long time.

If he could get money from Hu Dahai, just enough for two or three days' worth of fish sales, they could almost build their house.

“Sigh, we kept arguing with Dad about separating the family property, and now that we’ve separated, how could Dad possibly lend us money?” Hu Guanbao said, suddenly remembering that he still had to give Hu Dahai 5 yuan a month for his retirement. When he got his salary, he would send the retirement money to his father first.

"Actually, if he had just helped us a little, our house could have been built," Zhang Yuzhen said with a hint of disappointment.

Hu Guanbao shook his head and said, "It's our blessing if they help us, and it's also understandable if they don't. Once I get my salary in a few days, we can build houses again."

"Besides, once Zude comes back from his business trip, he can pay us back, right?" Hu Guanbao said, turning over and asking, "By the way, what kind of business did Zude go on?"

Zhang Yuzhen's expression changed, but she quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Well, I'm just a woman and I don't know much about this. It seems like I've met some friends who are going to do some fabric business in another city. It'll be a long time. The friend seems very reliable. My parents have met them too."

"Oh, okay then." Hu Guanbao felt relieved when he heard that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had both met him.

Hu Guanbao knew that Zhang Zude was unreliable, and how reliable could his friends be? But he trusted his parents-in-law, so when he heard that he had met them, he didn't say anything more.

"I'm going to sleep now. I need to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the village to buy some pig medicine." Hu Guanbao said and then went to sleep.

The next morning, Hu Guanbao left early to go to the village pharmacy to buy medicine.

Because the Qunyi Brigade raises a large number of pigs, they are particularly afraid of the pigs getting sick. Hu Guanbao has been raising pigs for many years and has some experience, so he knows what kind of condition the pigs need and how to give them medicine in advance. Otherwise, if one pig gets sick, it will cause the rest of the pigs to get sick as well.

Because Hu Guanbao was already familiar with the place, he quickly arrived at the village pharmacy and bought the medicine.

Just as Hu Guanbao was about to go back, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him, playing cards with those people on the roadside, the kind where they play for money: "Isn't that Zhang Zude?"

Hu Guanbao frowned. Shouldn't Zhang Zude be out doing business? How come he's in the village playing cards? Is there something wrong with this?

"Zu De?!" Hu Guanbao didn't think much of it and tried calling out.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zude stiffened upon hearing this and turned around to look.

When he realized it was Hu Guanbao, he was completely stunned, his mind completely blank.

He remembered his sister Zhang Yuzhen's instructions to him to stay at his grandmother's house for a few more days and not be seen by Hu Guanbao.

But after staying at his grandmother's house for a few days, he was so bored that he couldn't stand it anymore. So today, thinking that Hu Guanbao would definitely not come to the village, he secretly came here to play a few rounds of cards.

Who would have thought that, by sheer coincidence, I would run into Hu Guanbao here.

"Run!" In that instant, the word "run" came to Zhang Zude's mind.

He suddenly jumped up from the card table, grabbed the money on his table, and ran away into the distance.

What a joke! If Hu Guanbao really recognizes her, then my sister's plan will be exposed.

"Hey, don't run away! Are you Zhang Zude?!" Hu Guanbao was dumbfounded. He had only called out to see if it was really Zhang Zude, so why did the man run away? Could it really be Zhang Zude?

Thinking of this, Hu Guanbao also got up and chased after him.

Two people were on the street, one chasing the other. They ran for a long time.

Zhang Zude was young, and he was determined not to be caught by Hu Guanbao, so he ran incredibly fast. The faster Hu Guanbao ran, the less he could catch up with Zhang Zude.

Finally, he could only stand there, panting heavily, his hands supporting his knees.

"Forget it, let's not chase after them anymore, let's go back first."

Worried that he would be late in delivering the medicine, he had no choice but to head back first. But on the way back, Hu Guanbao became increasingly uneasy: "This must be Zhang Zude, otherwise why would he run away when he saw me!"

Thinking of this, Hu Guanbao hurriedly returned to Qunyi Brigade. After working all day without any focus, he went home and found Zhang Yuzhen. As soon as he saw Zhang Yuzhen, he anxiously asked:

"Yuzhen, are you sure Zhang Zude is going to do business?"

Zhang Yuzhen was cooking at home when she heard Hu Guanbao's words and almost shuddered as she poured half a bag of salt into the pan.

"Why do you ask that?" Zhang Yuzhen asked nervously. She knew that Hu Guanbao wouldn't ask such a question if he didn't know something.

Hu Guanbao was completely open with Zhang Yuzhen, telling her the truth: "I just saw Zhang Zude playing cards in the village, and I'm worried that you might have been scammed by him."

Zhang Yuzhen's heart skipped a beat. She cursed Zhang Zude a thousand times over in her mind, vowing to warn him never to come out again. But she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Impossible, you must be mistaken. We personally saw him off on the train. He's out of town!"

"Oh." Hu Guanbao scratched his head, no longer dwelling on it: "Could it be that I'm seeing things? The main thing is that the guy really looks like Zhang Zude, and when I call him, he runs so fast that I can't catch him."

"Maybe he was just scared by you. Many people are afraid of getting arrested by the police when they play cards outside." Zhang Yuzhen found another suitable excuse to brush off Hu Guanbao.

In her heart, she was certain that the person Hu Guanbao saw was his younger brother, Zhang Zude.

Just when Zhang Yuzhen thought the matter should be settled, little did she know that a seed of doubt had been planted in Hu Guanbao's heart.
