Siheyuan: Leaving Lou Xiao'e Behind, I Copy Countless Supplies

At the whole-compound meeting on New Year's Eve, Xu Damao turns the tables and exposes Silly Zhu for framing him. He divorces Lou Xiao'e on the spot, then activates a sign-in System. From then on, he signs in every day, and his supplies never run out.

He practices the Twelve-Section Brocade, strengthening his body and bolstering his confidence. He knows the Lou family's background hangs over them like a blade, which is all the more reason to sever every tie before the storm arrives. But after his divorce, Xu Damao notices Qin Huairu looking at him differently. Even the pair of cotton shoes in Old Madam Deaf's hands, which should have gone to Silly Zhu, are now meant for him.

From then on, life in the compound takes a completely new turn. Silly Zhu's lunchbox can no longer win anyone's heart, and the story of Deputy Director Li becoming the butt of a public joke spreads farther and farther. Meanwhile, the magic mirror in Xu Damao's hands, capable of infinitely duplicating supplies, turns limited stocks of premium grain and oil, rare seasonings, and scarce New Year goods into the strongest kind of security in this era, one item at a time.

He fills his storage space through sign-ins and his cupboards through duplication. While everyone in the compound is fretting over a couple of ounces of cornmeal, Xu Damao has already locked the gate and is tallying the next batch of New Year gifts to duplicate, ready to spend one last peaceful New Year at the Lou family home.
