Siheyuan: From the Start, I Wished Yi Zhonghai Would Die Without an Heir

In 1959, Gu Lin suddenly arrives at the courtyard house, opening with a line that hits Yi Zhonghai right where it hurts: "Master Yi, do you dislike children?"

He offers Marlboros as cigarettes, wears an Omega watch, and pushes around a diamond-studded bicycle. Everyone in the courtyard is green with envy, but no one dares provoke this prominent overseas Chinese resident.

The Snail Girl tends to his daily needs, he farms and raises chickens in a spiritual spring space, and his attack-speed boots let him swing his club six times a second, putting all challengers in their place.

Yi Zhonghai wants to use the rules to keep people in line? Qin Huairu wants to take advantage of him? Silly Zhu wants to throw his weight around?

Gu Lin smiles faintly. "My second uncle donated a fertilizer production line to the country. Think carefully about what that means."
