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

Hu Dahai smiled bitterly. Of course, he knew what kind of land he had chosen.

Back then, that piece of land was a very popular spot, with many families living in the surrounding area. At that time, everyone lived in thatched huts, the kind of houses built with straw.

One year, a fire broke out in one of the houses. The kerosene lamp was overturned, and the entire house caught fire.

Because it was all straw, the fire started very quickly. Everyone in the house was asleep, and the family had to flee for their lives as the fire raged.

He rescued his son, but unfortunately forgot about his daughter, who was burned alive.

From then on, every night, there would be eerie cries of infants in that area, frightening everyone into a state of high tension, causing them to move away one after another. This area became a forbidden zone for the Qunyi Brigade, only used for farming or dumping garbage during the day, and no one would go there at night.

If any child in the village misbehaved, the adults only needed to say, "If you cry again, I'll throw you into that unlucky place," and the child would immediately stop crying.

Now that Hu Dahai actually wants to build a house on that land, how can Li Wude not try to stop him?

However, Hu Dahai smiled calmly and said, "It's alright, I want that piece of land. Since everyone says that land is unlucky, give me a little more so I can build a bigger house."

The reason he wanted that land wasn't actually for him to live in. What a joke! Based on his experience of being reborn, once he had money, he could live in any kind of house. Why would he need to live in a place where people had died?

Hu Dahai was only going to build a house in that place, nothing more. Because according to his memories and the course of his previous life, in a few months, a national highway would soon run through the entire Bake County.

And this national highway happens to pass right by the Qunyi Brigade, and it will pass through this unlucky place.

So Hu Dahai's goal was simple: to build a big house on this land and wait for the demolition to happen.

Once the demolition was completed, a large sum of money would immediately flow into his account. Although demolitions in the 1980s didn't involve both housing and cash compensation like in later years, it was still incredibly profitable no matter how you looked at it. After all, he didn't need to build the house very sturdy.

Li Wude was still unwilling to give up and continued to persuade Hu Dahai, saying, "Dahai, I can give you the land behind our brigade office. It's a really good place, so you don't need to go there."

He had already done everything he could to benefit Hu Dahai. He did this because Hu Dahai had recently brought a lot of benefits to the brigade. In addition, there were rumors in the brigade that Hu Dahai frequently visited some state-owned units in Hangzhou and had powerful connections. So Li Wude also had a bit of a desire to curry favor with him.

Countless people in the brigade were eyeing the piece of land next to the brigade office, all wanting to settle down there. It's easy to imagine that if Li Wude gave that land to Hu Dahai, he would definitely face some pressure within the brigade.

However, Hu Dahai seemed to have lost his mind and said to Li Wude, "I want that piece of land! I think it's pretty good there."

Li Wude: "......"

He was speechless, so he simply agreed: "Alright, you're willing to give up the foundation that Hu Guanbao has already built. I'm sure there are people in the brigade who want to take advantage of this."

"I'll put in a good word for you in the brigade tomorrow, and I reckon the land deal will be done."

"You still have a chance to think about it tonight. Think it over carefully. Actually, if you approve Hu Wangfei's foundation to be next to Hu Guanbao's foundation, those two foundations would be quite good to build there."

"You can come to me before lunch tomorrow and change your mind. I'll talk to you about it tomorrow afternoon, and then it'll be settled."

Hu Dahai smiled happily: "Okay, that's great, thank you for your help."

The news that Hu Dahai was going to build a house in an unlucky place spread like wildfire throughout the entire brigade the next day.

"What the hell? Has Hu Dahai gone mad? He actually dares to build a house in that place? Isn't he afraid of getting bad luck from it?"

"To be honest, even during the day, I felt a bit creeped out just walking over there. I got goosebumps all over. I don't know what Hu Dahai was thinking."

“We don’t understand the world of the rich. In my opinion, Hu Dahai is so rich now that he can just pick a better place in the village to build a house.”

"What? What do you know? Not only did Hu Dahai build a house in an unlucky place, he also replaced the foundation that Hu Guanbao had already built on. That's how he replaced it."

Almost everyone, like Li Wude, thought that Hu Dahai had absolutely gone mad.

The rumors became increasingly outrageous, with some even saying that Hu Dahai was definitely possessed by a ghost.

However, Hu Dahai didn't care about any of this. At that moment, he was at home talking to Ye Qinggang.

When Ye Qing first met Hu Dahai, she repeatedly thanked him, saying, "Brother-in-law, thank you so much. If it weren't for your reminder, my two children would still be suffering!"

"I never imagined my mother-in-law would be such a heartless bastard! She's two-faced, deceiving me for so many years and causing my child so much suffering!"

"It's all in the past." Hu Dahai patted Ye Qinggang on the shoulder. "From now on, treat the two children well, make money, and follow me. Life will only get better than before." "Okay! Brother-in-law, I believe you. How do you want me to help you?" Ye Qinggang rubbed his hands together, saying excitedly.

Hu Dahai said, "You just need to help me manage the sales of my off-season vegetables. Currently, we mainly sell to state-owned factories and supply and marketing cooperatives, but as our volume increases in the future, we will also need to develop some of our own customers."

"Haha." Ye Qinggang laughed: "Brother-in-law, selling vegetables is not a problem. I know a friend who has a very strong vegetable-selling team in Hangzhou."

“They have people in almost every densely populated area in Hangzhou. When our off-season vegetables come out, we just need to ask these people to help us sell them.”

"Besides, your off-season vegetables have no trouble selling. As long as we are willing to release the goods, everyone will be eager to buy them."

Ye Qinggang is a generous person, so he has many friends.

These people who regularly sell vegetables in Hangzhou, while seemingly in competition, also cooperate. After all, a group of country folk selling vegetables in the city are easily bullied if they don't unite.

Hu Dahai was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. I won't worry about anything else, as long as you can help us sell our Sun Tai brand off-season vegetables as well as possible."

Selling fish already takes up a lot of Hu Dahai's time. If he were to sell off-season vegetables, he would have to put in a lot of effort as well, and he would be too busy.

He needs more time to handle things he wants to do, or to do things that are more worthwhile.

"Alright! Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll definitely get everything sorted out for you." Ye Qing patted his chest loudly.

He was in high spirits. After a brief discussion with Hu Dahai, he busied himself going to the fields to see which vegetables were ready to be sold.

But no sooner had he left than Li Wude arrived.

"Dahai, I've taken care of the land for you. Someone in the brigade happened to want Hu Guanbao's land, so I swapped it for you."

As Li Wude spoke, he still seemed somewhat skeptical of Hu Dahai's decision and asked again, "Dahai, do you really want to build a house in that unlucky place?"

"Of course!" Hu Dahai was overjoyed as he saw that he had secured the land.

Now that he has it, there's no time to lose; he needs to start building it right away.

But building that house with newly purchased materials would definitely not be cost-effective, since I'm not going to live there anyway.

So Hu Dahai asked out of curiosity, "Does our brigade have any discarded bricks or tiles that have been taken down from people's homes?"

“Of course there are.” Li Wude, who was very familiar with the situation in the brigade, blurted out.

"That's great! Could you please help me contact them and sell me these discarded bricks at a discount? I'll take them all and use them to build a house." Hu Dahai couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.

"What?!" Li Wude was dumbfounded once again.
