Siheyuan: Asking for a Bride Price? A Face-Slapping Comeuppance for My Greedy Mother-in-Law

After transmigrating into the Siheyuan, Shen Fei works his way up through skill to become a Grade Six welder, earning sixty-eight yuan a month. The matchmaker had arranged for him to marry Qin Huairu, but when her family saw his pay rise, they immediately raised the bride price. He turns on them on the spot: He's not marrying her!

A few years later, Jia Dongxu is paralyzed, and Qin Huairu is eaten up with regret. Shen Fei, meanwhile, drives a new car and eats braised pork at every meal, its aroma filling the whole courtyard. Jia Zhangshi is jealous and reports him? The neighborhood office ignores her. The whole courtyard demands he treat them? He closes the door: He has no money.

Bang Geng steals Silly Zhu's steamed buns made with fine white flour and mixed with rat poison, nearly killing himself. The Jia family demands a whopping five hundred yuan. Silly Zhu pays fifty and is still treated like a "prospective father-in-law." Shen Fei watches coldly, eating and drinking as he pleases, while his life gets better and better.

For face-slapping his greedy mother-in-law, all he needs is one sentence, "I'm not marrying her," and she is left eaten up with regret. The whole courtyard wants to see him make a fool of himself? He pulls out a new car and a wad of cash, shutting everyone up.
