Siheyuan: Qin Huairu Panics After I Refuse to Hand Over the Grain

"Why should I put up with this?!" After He Yuzhu transmigrates into Silly Zhu, he stares at the beam overhead, its ceiling plastered with old newspapers, and asks himself the question of a lifetime.

His parents are dead, a widow collects his wages for him, his leftovers feed someone else's children, and his younger sister goes hungry alongside him. This isn't a life; it's slavery!

Just as he's about to flip the table and walk away, the System arrives, presenting him with two choices.

He Yuzhu picks the second one and breaks with Qin Huairu once and for all in front of everyone in the courtyard: "I'll collect my own wages and clean my own room. Starting today, I have nothing to do with the Jia family!"

Qin Huairu cries and protests her innocence. First Uncle Yi Zhonghai steps in to mediate, while Second Uncle Liu Haizhong puts on airs. He Yuzhu gives none of them an inch: "If any of you thinks she's pitiful, then go support her yourselves! I, He Yuzhu, don't owe anyone a thing!"

The System's rewards arrive: the inheritance of Taiji's true meaning, and a huge increase in points. He Yuzhu looks at the neighbors standing dumbfounded throughout the courtyard and smiles faintly. This time around, he's going to live like a real man!
