Siheyuan: From the Start, I Conned My Father-in-Law into Going to Hong Kong!

After transmigrating, Xu Damao was completely stunned. He had actually landed in the world of "The Story of the Courtyard", and as the much-hated Xu Damao, no less?

What bothered him most was the jarring gap between eras. He just couldn't get used to the way of life.

The only appliance in the house was a light bulb, and even that was controlled by a pull cord. There was no toilet at home, so he had to use the public restroom outside. And central heating was out of the question. Having a stove was already a blessing. He'd heard that out in the countryside, people still relied on charcoal braziers to keep warm in the dead of winter...

In short, Xu Damao was about ready to despair.

The one good thing was that he'd gotten a beautiful wife for free. Lou Xiao'e was truly lovely: fair-skinned, gorgeous, and sweetly devoted. She was also the daughter of a wealthy family. Best of all, she was kind, even if she could be pretty sharp-tongued.

Lou Xiao'e: I'm not going home with you for New Year's. Every time your mom sees me, she asks if I'm craving sour food. I'm sick to death of it.

Xu Damao knew his wife's family would be arrested not long after the New Year. So he figured he might as well warn them to flee early, and take advantage of the opportunity himself.

Xu Damao: I've decided. We're going to my father-in-law's place for New Year's this year.

Lou Xiao'e: Really?
