With a Treasure Chest in Hand, I Find Silly Zhu a Wife from the Start

The moment I open my eyes, I'm Chen Zhiyuan, living in a courtyard house.

My dad just died in the line of duty, my mom is sick, and my little sister is still young. I'm the only pillar holding up the family.

The people in this courtyard have all turned greedy.

Yi Zhonghai pretends to comfort me, but really he wants to steal my dad's job at the steel mill.

Jia Zhangshi makes snide remarks, implying my family is doomed.

Qin Huairu smiles and acts friendly, while secretly scheming to get something out of me.

I laugh.

They don't know I have a System called Hard to Read Human Nature.

It shows at a glance who's good to me and who's not.

Yi Zhonghai? Malice: 78 percent. You old geezer, just you wait.

Jia Zhangshi? Malice: 91 percent. This old woman really hates me.

Fine. If everyone in the courtyard is putting on an act, I won't hold back either.

Day one: I smash three bricks with one punch, and the whole courtyard goes silent.

Day two: I join the security department, then quit right in front of the team leader.

Day three: Jia Zhangshi makes a scene, so I stand at the doorway sharpening a kitchen knife.

After that, the front of my house stays quiet.

Silly Zhu comes over. "Zhiyuan, why are you such a tough guy?"

I glance at him. "Brother Zhu, quit pretending. I'm the only decent person in this whole courtyard."
