Chapter 111 The Lazy Man of the Era 4 (The End)
Zheng Liang, who was in charge, carried a wooden spoon with him. The salted duck eggs were divided up in one bite each, but they were a bit salty.
However, this is the flavor of local salted duck eggs.
Compared to other options, Zhang Pingzhu prefers roasted duck eggs.
The room was filled with a pungent, mixed odor, but no one seemed to notice anything amiss; they even licked the eggshells. They must be lacking salt...
Zhang Pingzhu kept circulating his internal energy to prevent the smell from entering his mouth and nose and invading his brain.
I casually asked a few people how they'd been doing lately, and once I did, they couldn't help but get involved.
"Hi, my dad sends most of his salary back to our hometown every month. I really hope I can have such a filial son someday..."
"My dad was so filial to my stepmother, he'd give her anything she wanted, I don't know what good it would do them if I starved to death..."
"Sigh, my grandparents are alright, but they live with my uncle, so I can only occasionally go there to get a bite to eat."
"My parents, grandparents, and brothers are still the same as always..."
As soon as Zheng Liang finished speaking, everyone fell silent. The reason was simple: Zheng Liang's family was truly famous in the commune; his own parents, grandparents, and older brother were all incredibly influential.
The Zheng family is well-off; it took three generations for them to produce a daughter named Zheng Xing, who is the darling of her small circle.
She and Zheng Liang are twins, but their treatment at home is completely different. Zheng Liang has to do chores and take care of his younger sister at home.
He only dares to not shower and let himself smell bad now; Zheng Xing finds it disgusting and is too lazy to tease him.
He didn't dare to do anything more outrageous; there were too many mentally unstable men in the family, and Zheng Liang simply couldn't beat them.
The system was greatly amazed.
How did the original owner manage to gather so many unlucky people in the commune?
The only way to end the event was to repackage "The Self-Cultivation of Green Tea," "The Strongest Househusband on Earth," and "Little O's Marriage Management Guide," pull them out from under my waistband, and share them with everyone.
It's just a few thin pages, but packed with useful information. It will also automatically smudge over time, making the content illegible.
They can't change their family of origin, but they can change their fate through marriage...
Of course, his friends also racked their brains to tell him stories they had heard from all over the place, so that Zhang Lazybones could go back to the village and show off.

After everyone left, Zhang Lanhan disguised himself and went out. He bought things at the state-run restaurant and the supply and marketing cooperative, and went directly to Xikou Village.
Wang Dahao came to deliver firewood to his cousin in the afternoon but found no one there. He should go and check on him.
He even put his clothes back on halfway through the journey, which had been soaked in the marinade. Wang Dahao felt sorry for his cousin and washed the clothes for him.
No wonder he was able to marry a good girl in his previous life, but he died young due to poor health.
I'll make him get tired of living this life!
After a few autumns, Wang Dahao successfully started a family, got married, and had children. He was blessed with good fortune, and his situation improved even further; the young couple soon had a child, Wang Yuan.
Back when the original owner was old, Wang Yuan would often come to visit him.
This is indeed a good child; he deserves more nutrition. My cousin's wife is a kind person; she should also receive some nutrition.
The system says: You were clearly charmed by little Wang Yuan, don't try to make excuses!
The people of Xikou Village were astonished. They thought Wang Dahao would remain a bachelor for life, but they never expected that he would now have a wife, children, and a warm bed.
However, Zhang Pingzhu estimates it's a bit risky...
Not to mention that none of the Zhang family members in this generation have found wives yet, Zhang Pingzhu himself is not good at managing a household.
He still lives in the same small, dilapidated house he lived in when the family divided their property, earning work points that might not even be enough to eat, and likes to wander around aimlessly.
Speaking of dividing the family property, the Zhang family recently divided it up again.
The specifics are unclear to everyone, but the whole family has injuries on their faces.
Hey hey hey.
When the outside world opened up, some people went out to make money and came back to bring their fellow villagers to work. Zhang Jinzhu was among them.
Before setting off, Zhang Baozhu was reborn...
Remembering how Zhang Jinzhu tricked him into going to another city, claiming he was there to work but actually making him a gigolo, and how he lost his dignity as a man within a few years, eventually even resorting to making deals with old men in the park, a wave of sorrow washed over him.
This time, it's Zhang Baozhu's turn to sell Zhang Jinzhu, so he can get the money and package himself in advance.
For some unknown reason, a blush crept across Zhang Baozhu's face again; his face was truly like a palette of colors...
The system commented, "This guy definitely wanted to find a rich old man beforehand, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly stuck his butt between his legs..."
Zhang Pingzhu discovered that the Zhang family members were truly rotten and ruthless, bullying each other without hesitation, but their actions were utterly disgusting.
Widow Hua was unaware of all this; she was packing her youngest son's luggage and instructing him to be obedient and stay close to his cousin while he was away.
"Behave yourself while you're out there. We're all brothers; Jinzhu would never harm you..."
"Baozhu, what are you thinking about? Remember not to run around, okay?"
She even gave Zhang Jinzhu a flirtatious wink halfway through her speech, and Zhang Jinzhu forced a smile while suppressing his nausea.
But in his heart he was thinking, "You played me too hard when I was young, so I can't have a son. I'll sell your son as an apology..."
To be honest, Zhang Jinzhu is wronging Widow Hua; it's only been a few times.
It's clearly a family trait from the Zhang family; they're all not very good at it. Didn't you see that Zhang Baozhu retired before he even made much money?
However, Widow Hua was about to leave the Zhang family's residence, and her good son hadn't even warned her about the huge pit ahead...
*
Time flies. Widow Hua absconded with the money, Zhang Beiguo was cuckolded, Zhang Baozhu sold his own father... The Zhang family's stories kept the villagers busy.
However, it was quickly overshadowed by other things.
For example, after the affair between the widower cousin was exposed, he bravely took his lover from Xikou Village to work elsewhere.
Zhang, a lazy man, had been living in the village when he suddenly had the idea to lease a pond to raise fish. For convenience, he decided to live right next to the pond, since he could sleep there at night.
However, he didn't raise all the fish himself. Besides his cousin and his wife, the system also gave him an old-fashioned book, and Rongrong would come out to help at night.
He seems to be quite popular.
With the help of Wang Dahao and his wife, they learned how to raise fish by following the books provided by the system. At Zhang Pingzhu's urging, they also leased a fishpond and made a considerable fortune.
Don't worry about not having anyone to accept your offers; you can always get Xiao Yi to cheat.
As for the poor kids in the county, Zheng Liang couldn't wait to "marry" away from home because his family was too terrible, while the others found families nearby.
When they had the chance to get together for a meal, they would talk about how to manage a household and take care of children, and they were clearly very comfortable with it.
Well, at least I didn't do anything wrong with good intentions!
As they grew older, Zhang Pingzhu moved into the nursing home he owned with his cousin and his wife, so that Wang Yuan wouldn't have to worry too much about them while he was away.
As Wang Dahao got older, he became more talkative, and he could talk for five minutes every day about a flower, a tree, or a bird.
They kept talking until the three of them reached the end of their lives at the same time.
"Hiraka, I never imagined the three of us would survive this long..."
"Let's be relatives again in our next life. I'll go down first to scout the way for you..."
"Old woman, does this mean we're going to die together...?"
"Wang Yuan, we're gone, please take good care of us..."
Zhang Pingzhu added at the opportune moment that he should tell Wang Yuan his bank card PIN and remind him not to forget to withdraw the money.
He only stopped breathing after his cousin and his wife had left...
