Siheyuan: I Came to Change the Locks, and You Say I Stole Your Chicken?

Zhu Tong transmigrates into Love in the Courtyard. He'd hoped to live in peace, keeping out of trouble with his talent for picking locks. But...

Xu Damao's chicken goes missing. Bang Geng says, "Zhu Tong knows how to pick locks. He must have stolen it!"

Third Uncle's wheel disappears. Yan Jiekuang says, "My dad's wheels were locked up. Could it have been...?"

First Uncle secretly gives Qin Huairu ten catties of flour. First Aunt says, "We lost flour in the middle of the night. The thief must be someone who can pick locks!"

Word is Qin Huairu had an IUD put in, but she unexpectedly gets pregnant. Silly Zhu says, "It wasn't me! I bet the person who could remove an IUD must be a master lock-picker..."

Zhu Tong realizes this isn't Love in the Courtyard at all. It's a whole courtyard full of animals!

You're framing me? Heh! Then don't blame me for showing no mercy!

Xu Damao is a real scoundrel. I'll ruin him financially! First Uncle is a hypocrite. I'll make sure his old age is miserable! Bang Geng is an ungrateful brat. I'll send him to prison for a few years! And then there's the leech Qin Huairu, the status-hungry Second Uncle, and the miserly Third Uncle...

Whoever messes with me, I'll mess with them! I'll make the whole courtyard of animals cry!
