Siheyuan: Prank System, Snatching Qin Huairu!

Winter in Nanluoguxiang was bitterly cold, but Lin Richeng's bed was warm enough to scald. His newly registered wife, Qin Huairu, was up before dawn, busy at work. Steamed white-flour buns with stir-fried beef: no other family in the whole courtyard lived this well. He'd snatched her right from under Jia Dongxu's nose at their matchmaking meeting. She was hardworking and pretty, and most importantly, her heart was firmly with her husband.

That mother and son from the Jia family were still running around looking for someone to give them justice. Jia Zhangshi was throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground, while Jia Dongxu, red-eyed, insisted he would marry no one but Qin Huairu. Lin Richeng, meanwhile, had already taken his new wife into his arms and gotten everything between them out of the way. But he knew full well that few people in this courtyard were any good. Yi Zhonghai seemed fair on the surface, but was scheming underneath; Yan Bugui would even keep a record of a single cup of water taken from someone else's home.

Luckily, he had a prank System. He could get ten catties of meat by tricking Xu Damao into buying him a meal and drinks, and one scene from the Jia family could earn him dozens of yuan in cash plus storage space. Life carried on looking shabby to everyone else while he lived comfortably behind closed doors. He could chew on coarse buns in public, then feast on white-flour buns and stewed meat at home. As long as those courtyard animals kept making trouble, he'd never run short of food coupons or entertainment.
