A Thriving Siheyuan: No More Simping, Just Protecting My Sister

He Yuzhu was reborn. Not back to his boyhood, but from the white-haired old man whose neighbors had drained him dry, straight back to 1952 overnight. He Daqing had just run off with a widow, his little sister Yushui was huddled in the corner, trembling, the house had been ransacked, even the rice jar was empty, and Jia Zhangshi had taken the quilts, too.

In his previous life, he'd spent half his life as a pathetic simp, manipulated by Qin Huairu, treated as a retirement plan by Yi Zhonghai, and robbed of everything by Jia Zhangshi. In the end, his own little sister died of stomach cancer, and it was outsiders who came to tell him.

This time, the first thing he did was head straight to the police station to report the crime. Comrade Xia came in armed, and Jia Zhangshi was exposed on the spot: two million in savings, fifty jin of white flour, and new quilts were all found in her home. Yi Zhonghai tried to smooth things over? He gave him a piece of his mind. The Deaf Old Lady tried to throw her weight around with her seniority? He tore down her "Grand Ancestor" act in front of everyone.

He wouldn't be a fool, a blood bank, or anyone's backup retirement plan. He'd protect his sister, make money, build a career, and chop off the hand of anyone who reached for his. This time, he would make the rules of the courtyard.
