Living Off My Parents Without Being a Jerk, Cooking Up a Storm in the Siheyuan

After transmigrating into the world of the Siheyuan story in 1952, he becomes seventeen-year-old Silly Zhu.

His father, He Daqing, ran off with the White Widow. Now he and his younger sister, He Yushui, have to make it on their own. Looking at the whole courtyard full of beasts, he knows he needs to find someone powerful to back him. That way, he'll have money to spend, food to eat, an old-timer to mooch off, and someone to bleed dry!

Granny Deaf and Yi Zhonghai will be his backers. With them standing up for him, hardly anyone in the courtyard will dare mess with him!

To bleed Granny Deaf dry, all he has to do is flatter her and call her Granny a few more times.

To bleed Yi Zhonghai dry, all he has to do is promise to support him in his old age. There's plenty of time for that later, so he can just agree for now.

There are plenty of other people to bleed dry, too. No rush! One at a time!

If there's an old-timer to mooch off and you don't, you've wasted your life!

If there's someone to bleed dry and you don't, you're an idiot!
