The Siheyuan Landlord Sets the Rules, and the Whole Courtyard Works for Me

After leaving the army, Chen Yanzhou returns to the courtyard and discovers that his home has been controlled by Yi Zhonghai, the First Uncle. Silly Zhu is being exploited by Qin Huairu, Xu Damao is running around stirring up trouble, and Jia Zhangshi is throwing tantrums and making a scene.

He doesn't argue or make a fuss. He simply pulls out a property deed.

It bears the red seal of the Subdistrict Office and the handwritten signature of Old Master Chen: property heir, Chen Yanzhou.

The Courtyard Deed's Golden Seal activates. Rule number one: no moral blackmailing the homeowner.

Yi Zhonghai slips, shattering his enamel mug and losing a point of luck.

Three days later, everyone in the courtyard signs new leases. Rent is charged at market rates, struggling tenants can work off their rent, and contributors receive dividends.

Silly Zhu comes around, Qin Huairu learns to stand on her own, Yan Bugui handles the accounts, Liu Haizhong oversees production, and Xu Damao gets face-slapped again and again.

From a small neighborhood canteen to a precision machining factory, from military components to a major industrial enterprise, the courtyard transforms from a den of petty disputes into an industrial fortress.

The Courtyard Deed's Golden Seal levels up one step at a time, and the courtyard changes day by day.

From now on, I'm in charge.
