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

Hu Guanbao turned his head and looked at Hu Dahai, who was directing everyone to work on the ground. It was impossible for him not to feel a pang of sadness.

Hu Dahai is now full of vigor and things are getting better and better, but what has Hu Guanbao gotten besides a piece of land since the family split up?

He had no money; his house was only half-built and then abandoned. The only thing he was somewhat fortunate about was that Zhang Yuzhen was still by his side and had been treating him fairly well lately.

Although he thought at the time that as long as the land was there, it didn't matter whether the house was built sooner or later, people's words were a powerful force to be reckoned with. They felt like needles pricking his heart.

It's a little sad to think about it. Originally, he separated from the family to have a better life and enjoy a better life with Zhang Yuzhen. Now, it seems that he has accomplished nothing and has become a burden to Hu Dahai.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Yuzhen, when will your Zude come back?"

Seeing Hu Dahai's increasingly better life, he began to feel a little anxious. He was also eager to get the money and build the house.

He wanted to prove himself and show that he hadn't made the wrong choice.

"I don't know either, I can't find him either," Zhang Yuzhen said, her eyes darting around, feeling somewhat annoyed. "I already told you I don't know, why are you still asking?"

"Didn't you say that a friend would take him along? Haven't you contacted that friend of his?" Hu Guanbao pressed.

“Where did this friend come from?” Zhang Yuzhen blurted out, only realizing her mistake after she said it.

She hurriedly corrected herself: "Oh, I meant his friend, we can't get in touch with him either."

Hu Guanbao paused for a moment. He had been watching Zhang Yuzhen the whole time, and the question she had just blurted out about where her friend was from gave Hu Dahai the feeling that Zhang Yuzhen was hiding something from him.

In that instant, Hu Guanbao remembered seeing Zhang Zude in the village that day. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that person was Zhang Zude. But Zhang Zude was clearly in the village, so why did everyone say he had gone on a long trip?

No, I'll find some time to go back to the village and see if I can run into Zhang Zude again. I wonder if Zhang Yuzhen was also deceived by that scoundrel Zhang Zude, or if Zhang Yuzhen was also deceiving herself.

Hu Guanbao suddenly froze when he thought of this.

How did I start to suspect Zhang Yuzhen?

As Zhang Yuzhen walked, she noticed that Hu Guanbao had stopped walking.

She turned around and saw Hu Guanbao standing there, deep in thought, so she asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Why aren't you moving?"

Hu Guanbao then realized, "Ah, oh, I was just thinking about how we should build the house, otherwise it's not good for our house to just sit there."

"Why are you thinking so much?" Zhang Yuzhen said with a hint of anger, "Didn't you say back then that we could build it slowly? Why are you in such a hurry now?"

"I was hoping it would be finished sooner so we could move in as soon as possible," Hu Guanbao said, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Then you can think about it here slowly." Zhang Yuzhen was extremely annoyed and left.

As Hu Guanbao watched Zhang Yuzhen's departing figure, a flood of unpleasant memories of the things she had done to him came to mind.

He became even more determined to go and see if Zhang Zude was actually in the village.

From that day on, Hu Guanbao would secretly find an opportunity to go to the village every day to see if Zhang Zude was still there.

......

Within the Lingdong Brigade, Du Wu excitedly ran back from outside.

"Father, Father, Father, I found out!"

In recent days, Du Wu has been sent out by Du Tianchuan. One reason is to prevent him from staying in the brigade and being seen by everyone, which would make them feel uncomfortable. After all, he offended Hu Dahai and caused the Lingdong Brigade to miss such a money-making opportunity.

Secondly, they wanted him to investigate where Hu Dahai sold the fish. Once they knew where Hu Dahai sold the fish, they would have a chance to make their move.

Du Wu worked from dawn till dusk every day, and after several days of research, he finally discovered something.

"What did you find out?" Du Tianchuan suddenly perked up. If they could figure out where Hu Dahai sold the fish, they would have a chance.

Du Wu was out of breath from running so fast. He gulped down two mouthfuls of water and said, "That Hu Dahai sold all the fish to the state-owned textile factory and the state-owned food factory."

“We followed him to those two factories and found that they went in with trucks full of passengers, and came out with empty trucks.”

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Du Tianchuan was about to take action when he suddenly remembered something and, as if worried that his son was unreliable, asked Du Wu again to confirm.

Du Wu patted his chest and emphatically assured him, "Of course, I absolutely cannot be mistaken. They went to those two places!"

"Okay." Du Tianchuan nodded. "Since they sold it to a state-owned enterprise, I'm not afraid anymore. Your brother-in-law will be back tonight and will be coming over. I'll talk to him about it later. As long as he's involved, what difficulties can we face?"

“Yes, my brother-in-law went to jail for that big shot’s son. Now he’s highly regarded by that big shot and supposedly has a lot of brothers under him. All these state-owned factories have to give my brother-in-law face.” Du Wu said with some pride.

"It's only because my brother-in-law thinks I'm too young that he would have taken me with him to develop my career."

Du Tianchuan and Du Wu waited patiently at home.

Finally, a Hiace brand minivan drove into their Lingdong brigade. Du Wu and Du Tianchuan heard the car horn from afar and immediately came out of their house. Sure enough, they saw the minivan screeching to a halt in front of their door.

These days, anyone who owns a minivan is no ordinary person. So at this moment, many people in the Lingdong Brigade are sticking their heads out, looking at the minivan in front of Du Tianchuan's house with great envy.

"father!"

Accompanied by a woman's voice, a smartly dressed woman weighing 180 pounds with an afro stepped out of the van. She was Du Tianchuan's eldest daughter, Du Baiying.

As Du Baiying got out of the car, the van seemed to have been unloaded of some heavy object and bounced up.

Then, a man who was 175 cm tall and had a gentle and refined appearance quickly got out of the driver's seat of the van.

This is Lu Wenlong, Du Baiying's husband and Du Tianchuan's son-in-law.

"Wenlong, you're back!"

Du Tianchuan hurriedly stepped forward and shook his son-in-law's hand, his face full of flattery and smiles.

"Mmm." Lu Wenlong enjoyed the feeling of being fawned over by everyone.

After taking a bunch of gift boxes from the car and going inside, Lu Wenlong sat down with Du Tianchuan's family and ate and chatted.

During the conversation, Du Tianchuan intentionally or unintentionally mentioned recent events.

"What?! Dad? Someone actually attacked you? And they're trying to cut off our Lingdong Brigade's source of income?" Du Tianchuan's daughter suddenly erupted, slamming her hand on the table. "Letting you raise fish was Wenlong's suggestion! Isn't this just trying to make Wenlong lose face?!"

Lu Wenlong, standing to the side, also frowned slightly: "Dad, who is this Hu Dahai? He's just a country bumpkin who's never seen the world. How can he compare to me? Tell me, where does he sell his fish?"

"I suggested that you raise fish, and I will definitely take full responsibility for you and help you all make money."
