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

Their words immediately caused a great stir in the Lingdong Brigade, with many members showing expressions of joy.

"As expected, it's Du Tianchuan. I knew that with Du Tianchuan and his family in our brigade, we'd be blessed with endless good fortune in the future."

"That's right. My son is helping his son-in-law Lu Wenlong with his work. I heard that Lu Wenlong has a lot of influence in front of big bosses."

"I wish I had such a good son-in-law. He would not only help his own family, but also benefit our entire brigade."

"Hehe, wasn't that Hu Dahai very arrogant? Didn't he refuse to buy our fish? Well, now we've cut off his fish-selling route. Let's see how cocky he is now!"

"From now on, Hu Dahai will have to come begging to our captain to spare his life, hahaha."

Most of these people who were speaking were those who had sent their children out to make their way in the world with Lu Wenlong. They had already received favors from Du Tianchuan's family, so they didn't care to say a few more nice words now.

Du Tianchuan and Du Wu had heard similar comments quite a bit, and their pride was practically swelling to the heavens. Their mouths were practically bursting with arrogance.

Look, this is the sense of superiority their son-in-law brings them.

After returning home, Du Tianchuan and the others began to tidy up their fishing nets and other fishing gear. It had been quite a while since they'd fished, and their skills had become somewhat rusty.

"boom."

As evening approached and everyone was busy preparing for a big day, Lu Wenlong returned from outside in his Hiace minivan.

The sound of him closing the car door immediately made Du Tianchuan and Du Wu put down what they were doing and come out to greet him.

"Good son-in-law, how about it? How many fish should we send over tomorrow?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, we're all ready!"

The two of them talked back and forth.

"What are you preparing?!" Lu Wenlong sensed something was wrong and quickly asked.

"Of course we're preparing to catch fish tonight. Brother-in-law, you helped us secure the fish business today, so we can't fall behind, right? We need to prepare the fish we'll sell tomorrow. Otherwise, if we deliver the fish that the factories are waiting for us to deliver to them late, wouldn't that make you lose face?"

In order to demonstrate his wisdom and talent, Du Wu quickly said to Lu Wenlong.

Before Lu Wenlong could say anything, Du Tianchuan said with a smile, "Today we let everyone in the brigade know who our great benefactor is. Everyone in the brigade is extremely grateful to you."

Just as the two of them were thinking that their words would get a satisfactory answer from Lu Wenlong.

Little did they know that Lu Wenlong's expression would change drastically.

"What?! This is still uncertain, how could you let it slip out? Aren't you just making a fool of yourselves and embarrassing yourselves!"

Lu Wenlong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Du Tianchuan and Du Wu, leaving them both stunned on the spot.

"Daughter, son-in-law, do you mean that you didn't manage to take over the fish business this time you went out?" Du Tianchuan said hesitantly.

"Sigh." Lu Wenlong felt it was a bit embarrassing to say this, but he had to say it anyway: "I went to those two state-owned factories, but they both had their own difficulties and had no choice but to let Hu Dahai deliver fish to them."

“Even if we offer a low price and a fast delivery, it won’t work. Hu Dahai either did them a favor or has a deep connection with them.”

"It's quite difficult to persuade them to only buy our fish by using my influence. We'll have to think of another way to handle this."

Both Du Tianchuan and Du Wu were in complete disbelief, feeling as if the sky had fallen. Du Wu asked incredulously, "Brother-in-law, so that Hu Dahai is actually more powerful than you?"

Lu Wenlong frowned slightly; he disliked this statement from the bottom of his heart.

He said unhappily, "It's not about who's more capable, it's just about who brings more benefits to those factory directors."

At the same time, he noticed that Du Tianchuan and Du Wu were still arguing about who was stronger, so he had to break the ice and say, "This is not the time to think about these things. When the people from the brigade arrive, you'll have to figure out how to explain it to them."

After saying that, he immediately went inside, leaving Du Tianchuan and Du Wu outside looking at each other, suddenly realizing what he meant.

Before the two of them could come up with a good idea, many villagers from the brigade appeared at the intersection, carrying fishing nets and fishing tools, chatting and laughing as they walked over.

"Captain, have you eaten yet? Let's hurry and go fishing before dawn!"

"Yeah, what are you still standing here for? Are you paralyzed by the huge profits we're about to make?"

"Captain, our great benefactor, the architect of our Lingdong Brigade's reform, please take us fishing! Today, you name a fishpond, and we'll fish there!"

Those who walked quickly arrived at their doorstep and immediately shouted excitedly to them.

In the past, Du Tianchuan and Du Wu would have been overjoyed to hear such words.

But today, all they want to do is curse in their hearts: mmp.

"Cough cough cough." Du Tianchuan glanced at his son to the side. He couldn't let Du Wu or Lu Wenlong take the blame for this, so he had to step in himself.

He coughed lightly, looked at the villagers, and said with a forced smile, "Fellow villagers, I was just about to come and talk to you about this matter, but things have changed a bit, so there's no need to go fishing today."

"Everyone, go back now. I'll call you when I have any new information."

After Du Tianchuan finished speaking, his eyes darted around. He could tell what he was about to face just by thinking about it in his mind.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the villagers objected.

"Tianchuan, this isn't right. We put aside our work in the fields and spent the whole afternoon repairing fishing nets, ready to come here and have a big catch. Now it's all for nothing?"

"Yes, they invited me out for drinks tonight, but I turned them down. Now they're telling me I don't need to go fishing anymore. I didn't get to drink or catch any fish."

Although the villagers' words weren't particularly harsh, one could still sense some dissatisfaction.

Their way of addressing Du Tianchuan changed from "Captain" and "Great Benefactor" to "Tianchuan," and eventually, they stopped using any title at all.

"You people are really something. My father was able to help you when you needed it, that was a favor. Now that he can't help you for the time being, you're complaining?"

"To put it bluntly, how many of you families have benefited from our family's kindness? Look how spoiled you've become!"

Du Tianchuan was at least somewhat polite to these villagers, but Du Wu, standing to the side, was still a hothead who always thought he could be high and mighty in Lingdong Brigade. So when he saw everyone's attitude, he was very dissatisfied and started cursing.

After Du Wu finished speaking, the people of the Lingdong Brigade fell silent, but their expressions became even worse.

"You bastard, who told you to speak? Get inside!" Du Tianchuan immediately scolded Du Wu upon seeing this, then apologized to everyone repeatedly to comfort them.

After much persuasion, the villagers finally left in small groups.

Du Tianchuan walked into the house, his face ashen. He picked up a teacup and gulped down several mouthfuls of tea to calm his anger.

"Father, this matter cannot be left like this!" Du Wu said indignantly, feeling utterly humiliated today.

"Fine, then! Do you think you can sell the fish?!" Du Tianchuan yelled at Du Wu, his anger flaring.

Lu Wenlong, standing to the side, also felt somewhat uneasy.

He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "Hmph, this matter really can't be left like this. Since we can't get the two factories to buy our fish, then we can just cripple Hu Dahai!"
