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

"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Hongyan asked, puzzled.

The man shoved the raw stone back into Li Hongyan's hand: "Look, there's a hidden crack inside. If I were to use it, I'd have to cut it along the crack, which would reduce its value."

As he spoke, the man held up three fingers: "13,000 at most, I won't take anything more than that."

Li Hongyan was stunned, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

"impossible!"

Li Hongyan took the raw stone back in disbelief and examined it closely. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was indeed a very subtle crack inside.

He was so captivated by the green color that he didn't even notice the subtle flaw inside.

"This……"

He was a bit confused. He had bought a valuable rough stone, which meant he neither gained nor lost money...

So all he did was work for the auction house after all?

The crucial point is that he just confidently asserted that he possessed real strength...

Sure enough, as soon as the scene was shown, some people immediately started to laugh.

After all, some people had already expressed their displeasure with Li Hongyan's high profile.

They were naturally delighted to see Li Hongyan suffer a setback.

Li Hongyan slunk off the stage.

After this incident, he was even angrier than before at Hu Dahai. Damn it, he always managed to humiliate Hu Dahai. How could he not be angry?

However, Li Hongyan had just stepped down when...

Hu Dahai then took the No. 9 rough stone he had bid on and went on stage.

"Even mine can only yield this much value. I refuse to believe that your rough stone, with such poor quality, can possibly turn out green!"

"Even if there is green, it will definitely be a cracked green!"

Li Hongyan said sarcastically from below.

His voice wasn't very loud, but it was still audible.

Hu Dahai frowned upon hearing this. He had originally wanted to make another bet with Li Hongyan to annoy her.

But then he thought about how many people were here and he didn't dare waste their time.

He simply pretended not to have heard Li Hongyan's words and let the stone-cutting master cut the stone.

A few minutes later, Hu Dahai's No. 9 rough stone was also cut open.

The moment the two rough stones were lifted, everyone's eyes lit up.

The warm green color caught everyone's eye.

"Holy crap! It went up too!"

Amidst the gasps of surprise, everyone also recalled Li Hongyan's experience from the previous incident.

Many people first check if there are any cracks in the green color.

The last few people who came forward to take a look exclaimed in surprise: "There isn't a single crack!"

"Holy crap, is this guy even human? This rough stone can actually yield such amazing green!"

"It turns out that this rock has one end representing the sky and the other the earth. It really is a case of being rich on one side and burdened on the other!"

"This Hu Dahai is amazing! None of us thought much of this stone, but he was the only one who put up a bid. Did he know beforehand that this stone was of extraordinary quality?"

"Hu Dahai and Li Hongyan are two extremes. One was high-profile and ended up in an embarrassing situation, while the other was low-profile and eventually succeeded. It seems that one should be low-profile in the future."

"You people are really stupid. What kind of time is this to be making comments? Comrade! I'll offer 20,000 yuan for your rough stone!"

"Damn it, you have no sportsmanship, you ambushed me! I'll offer 21,000!"

The crowd stirred again, everyone wanting to photograph the jadeite rough stone in Hu Dahai's hand.

In the end, Hu Dahai sold the rough stone for 3 yuan, making a net profit of 2 yuan.

Even Dong Daoquan couldn't help but think more highly of Hu Dahai.

He stepped forward and took the initiative to befriend Hu Dahai, saying, "Comrade, I don't know whether to say you're lucky or that you're very capable. Your strength is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"If there's a chance in the future, I hope we can keep in touch more often."

He also asked for Hu Dahai's home address, saying he would come and chat with Hu Dahai when he had time.

Li Hongyan stood in a small corner of the venue, watching Hu Dahai surrounded by the crowd, feeling both angry and regretful.

If only I had bid against him during the auction of rough stone number 9, I would be the one enjoying the crowd and everyone's praise right now.

When they returned, both Zhang Zhaoxing and ** had wry smiles on their faces.

"We never expected that after inviting you out, we would both end up with nothing, while you actually made tens of thousands."

"Yeah, that's tens of thousands. Even for the two of us, it would take a long time to earn that much. I didn't expect you to earn it in just one night. You have to treat us to dinner."

"Yes, yes, please treat us to a big meal at the state-run restaurant."

Hu Dahai naturally knew that the two of them meant no harm, and replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow. Don't stand me up then!"

After returning home, Hu Dahai lay on his bed and calculated his gains for the day: he earned 25,000 yuan from jadeite rough and nearly 20,000 yuan from silver coins, making a total of nearly 45,000 yuan.

"With this money, I can finally focus on developing my off-season vegetable farm and building houses. I wish there were auctions like this every day so I could snag some bargains."

Of course, there was another thing that made Hu Dahai happy today: the scales in his mind had once again accumulated enough holy water and gave Hu Dahai another cubic meter of space.

For Hu Dahai, this space was his private safe, the safest kind at that. After all, in this world, no matter how well you preserve something, there will always be some people who want to covet it.

But now that he has two square meters of space, Hu Dahai can use it to hide more important things. He doesn't have to worry about being stolen from or robbed.

As for the holy water, Hu Dahai has recently reduced his use of it to modify his physique, because he now looks no different from a young man in his twenties or thirties.

His physique was exceptionally strong, and even his hearing, vision, and sense of smell were exceptionally sensitive. Hu Dahai could clearly perceive even the faintest sounds from a great distance.

Moreover, he continues to use the holy water to transform his body, but he doesn't feel any significant changes. He doesn't know if the holy water's effects have weakened, or if his body has already reached its limit.

So for now, he's saving all this holy water to exchange for space.

......

In the following days, Hu Dahai's life became relatively peaceful.

With the money, his house was quickly built under Hu Guanbao's care.

Everyone who saw it was stunned, pointing and whispering among themselves.

"What's wrong with Hu Dahai? How could he go crazy like this? Not only is he building a house in such an unlucky place, but he's also using such shoddy materials?"

"You say he's broke, but the people working for him these days are getting paid quite a bit a day. But you say he's rich, but what's this all about? If he's rich, why doesn't he build a better house?"

"Maybe rich people are a little abnormal. I thought he was abnormal when he was building houses here, and I think so even more now."

"I heard that the guy in the brigade who swapped Hu Guanbao's land plot is laughing in his dreams every night, saving several hundred yuan."

“I’m starting to feel something’s not right. Hu Dahai used to be terrified of Hu Guanbao, but now Hu Guanbao is behaving like a dog, obediently supervising Hu Dahai.”

“What do you know? The other day I went to Hu Dahai’s house and I saw Hu Guanbao, who had been busy all day, still giving Hu Dahai a foot massage at night, and Hu Wangfei also gave Hu Dahai a back massage.”

"Holy crap, what kind of god lives like this?"

The lack of understanding from the villagers made Hu Guanbao extremely embarrassed.

Almost every day, he had to answer questions from people in the brigade about why he came here to build houses, and he also had to endure some strange looks.

The worst part is that he himself doesn't understand his father Hu Dahai's crazy actions.

Everyone else seems to be a burden to their fathers, but now I feel like I'm a father who's a bit of a burden to his son. But what can I do? I have to put up with it.

It was around the time when Hu Dahai's house was being built taller and taller.

In Hangzhou, Li Ruochun has been busy ever since he acquired the best plot of land next to the West Bus Station.
