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

In the kitchen, Hu Guanbao and Hu Wangfei were busy running around.

One person was responsible for cooking, and the other was responsible for washing dishes and sweeping the floor.

The aroma of meat wafted through the house from time to time.

"It smells so good! There's meat!" Ye Chao exclaimed innocently as soon as he smelled the aroma of meat.

Hu Guanbao and Hu Wangfei were so focused on their work that they didn't notice the others coming in until they heard Ye Chao's shout that they realized what was happening.

"Oh, Uncle's here! Come, sit down!"

Hu Guanbao reacted the fastest, quickly pulling out a few stools for Ye Qinggang and the others to sit on.

Hu Wangfei was not to be outdone. While drying his hands on the apron around his waist, he quickly took out a cup, brewed tea, and brought it over.

"Uncle, have some tea."

Ye Qing was completely stunned for a moment, and he even forgot to reach out to take the teacup.

It wasn't until Hu Wangfei persuaded him a second time that he remembered to take the teacup in his hand.

He stared at the two brothers, Hu Guanbao and Hu Wangfei, so astonished he could hardly believe that these were the same Hu Guanbao and Hu Wangfei he knew.

Hu Dahai sat down next to Ye Qinggang, crossed his legs, and enjoyed the tea that Hu Wangfei had brought him.

"Ahem, brother-in-law, Wang Fei and Guan Bao have changed a lot lately," Ye Qing said softly to Hu Dahai, lowering his voice.

"Do you remember when I came here a while ago, one of them was at his wife's parents' house, and the other was sitting in his room like a statue, not giving them a single friendly look?"

"Why are you all so diligent today?"

Hu Dahai said casually, "Oh, they've been more proactive lately. Actually, I don't need them to do it; I can handle it myself."

"You're so lucky, you don't even know it!" Ye Qinggang teased Hu Dahai as he leisurely crossed his legs and sipped tea like an emperor, but he was also happy for Hu Dahai.

It's truly a blessing for Hu Dahai that these children have undergone such a transformation.

In the past, every time he saw his nephew and niece, he would be so angry that he wanted to go up and give them each a good fight.

It looks much better now.

"I'm serious, I wish these guys would all go their separate ways and not get involved with me anymore. I've figured it out now, I'll just mind my own business. The kids are all grown up, let them go their own way," Hu Dahai said calmly.

Because the room was small, their conversation was quickly overheard by Hu Wangfei and Hu Guanbao.

Both of them couldn't help but shudder.

Good heavens, we've all worked so hard, and you still want to give us all away?

No! We need to perform even better. Nothing beats home, and no wife is as good as her father.

Ye Qinggang and Hu Dahai were chatting, and Hu Dahai truthfully recounted the recent changes in his family, including his current main business and approximate income. Ye Qinggang listened in astonishment, feeling that Hu Dahai had changed remarkably.

Hu Wangfei and his companion quickly brought out all the dishes and served all the rice. They even wanted to feed Hu Dahai if he wanted to.

Just as Ye Qing felt his worldview being challenged, he turned his head and saw the dishes on the table, and he was stunned again.

Because the dishes on the table were not the kind of green vegetables or pickled vegetables he had imagined.

On the contrary, the feast was exceptionally lavish, with a total of six dishes, including meat, fish, and shrimp. Even Ye Qinggang, who considered his family to be quite well-off, usually only had two dishes at most at home.

"Qinggang, why don't you eat something with me?" Hu Dahai invited.

"No, no." Ye Qinggang was starting to regret it. The meat he brought was too small. The other person cooked more meat for just one meal than he had brought.

"We'll head back now. Seeing that you're all doing alright, I'm relieved," Ye Qinggang said frankly, scratching his head.

Hu Dahai was taken aback: "You're going back already?"

He put down his chopsticks, went into his room, filled a bag with four large jars of fruit and some other nuts, and handed them to Ye Qinggang, saying, "Take these to Ye Chao and Ye Lu."

"Don't refuse. I have plenty at home, more than I can eat. If you don't take it, these guys will just benefit."

Hu Dahai forced it on them.

Watching this, Hu Wangfei felt incredibly heartbroken. His father truly didn't care about his children anymore.

Ye Qinggang gave a bitter smile: "Brother-in-law, what you've done is making it seem like we came here to buy goods instead of to visit you. We clearly came here to see you, but now it feels like I'm here to buy goods from you."

Hu Dahai patted Ye Qinggang on the shoulder: "It's okay. Although your sister is gone, you are still my brother. You guys have always helped me before. Now that my family's situation has improved, it's time for me to treat you better."

"There's something else I'd like to talk to you about privately."

As Hu Dahai spoke, he and Ye Qinggang went outside and he lowered his voice to say to Ye Qinggang, "Qinggang, I'm short-handed here and need someone to help me. If possible, you and your wife can come and help me together. I'll offer you a higher salary."

Off-season vegetables are about to hit the market. Although Sun Tai is in charge of the cultivation of off-season vegetables, he doesn't know how to handle the sales. Therefore, Hu Dahai needs someone to help him manage the business.

Ye Qinggang, the brother-in-law in front of me, is quite good. He has a straightforward and cheerful personality, and he is a good person. I feel at ease using him.

Ye Qing just started working for him, so he could give him a higher salary so they could also live a good life, as a way of repaying his brother-in-law.

However, before that, there was another important matter that needed to be dealt with in advance by Ye Qinggang.

In his previous life, Ye Qing's mind was a little restless because his life was slowly getting better.

Men, when they have money, inevitably change. Especially Ye Qinggang, who speaks frankly and is quite handsome, looking a lot like his sister, both with delicate features.

I remember when Hu Dahai and his sister got married, everyone who saw Ye Qinggang thought he was a city person.

Ye Qing once accidentally hit a woman with his bicycle. He took her to the hospital and later talked to her about compensation. As a result, the two of them developed feelings for each other.

This woman is quite shrewd; her way of speaking and acting is completely different from that of women from the countryside. Far from being reserved and shy like rural women, she's quite open and straightforward.

The two got along very well, and Ye Qinggang was so infatuated with her that he even considered divorce.

When Ye Qing returned home and told his wife about the divorce, she was devastated and naturally unwilling to accept it.

But Ye Qinggang had long been bewitched by that woman. His wife refused to divorce him, so he subjected her to emotional abuse at home, beating her in various ways, and even deliberately giving all the family's money to that woman outside.

However, Ye Qinggang's wife was still reluctant to let him go and still loved him very much. After realizing that she could not persuade Ye Qinggang, she committed suicide by drinking pesticide.

After his wife died, Ye Qinggang naturally got together with that woman. But it was then that he discovered the woman's true colors.

Actually, this woman was a gambler who had come to hide from her debts. Her plan to find Ye Qinggang was premeditated; she had already secretly taken all the money Ye Qinggang had entrusted to her to pay off his gambling debts.

After getting together with Ye Qinggang, she did nothing at home, was idle and lazy, gambled away any money she had, and caused trouble at home when she didn't have any. Once, while Ye Qinggang was asleep, this woman grabbed his crotch and threatened to make him childless if he didn't give her money.

In the end, Ye Qinggang was driven to his death by this woman in just a few years. Everyone around him said that Ye Qinggang had only himself to blame, and that the wicked would be punished by the wicked.

It's just a pity for Ye Qinggang's two children.

Hu Dahai still remembers Ye Qing's face full of regret and self-blame before she died.

He often secretly slapped himself, and frequently went to his deceased wife's grave to weep in remorse. He said that if he could do it all over again, he would never do such a foolish thing again.

Now that Hu Dahai has been reborn, he doesn't want Ye Qinggang to fall into the emotional vortex of his previous life.

In particular, if he were to get Ye Qinggang to do something for him, he absolutely could not have any connection with that gambler.

Judging from the timeline, Ye Qinggang should have already met that woman by now.

So when Hu Dahai invited him to work, he deliberately added a sentence: "Let his wife come along too."

Sure enough, before Hu Dahai could say anything, Ye Qinggang retorted to what Hu Dahai had just said: "Brother-in-law, isn't that unnecessary?"
