Siheyuan: Strip the Neighborhood Fowl of Everything and Become a Tycoon

Reborn in the Siheyuan, I bind myself to an emotion-points exchange System:

Qin Huairu's tears = three jin of meat coupons. Xu Damao's fear = a stack of industrial coupons. Yi Zhonghai's fury = ten taels of gold!

As everyone in the compound plots to bleed me dry, I smile:

"Cry louder, Jia Zhangshi! One good wail from you is worth half a sack of white flour!"

And so...

I teach Banggeng to lift a widow's door curtain. Qin Huairu gets so furious she faints, and out come special-issue food coupons.

I report Xu Damao for illegally showing films. He wets his pants and hands over his sewing machine coupon.

I tear down Yi Zhonghai's "moral monument." As the old man suffers a heart attack and fights for his life, I slap down an IOU:

"Emergency treatment costs 300. Cash, or should I take your house?"
