Siheyuan: Scouring for Gold from the Start in 1948

Li Mingxuan's daily life tormenting the scoundrels after he transmigrates to a Beijing courtyard house in 1948. The protagonist has no manners and often does things without playing fair.

The whole point is that if I have no morals, you can't hold me to them...

The scoundrels in the courtyard won't be killed off all at once. If they were, there'd be nothing left to write about. Isn't it better to keep them around as punching bags?

Anyway, the scoundrels in the courtyard all have skeletons in their closets. They won't report one another to the police, because if an investigation exposed their backgrounds, they'd all be treated as second-class citizens. So when Li Mingxuan bullies them, all they can do is put up with it!

He won't go to Hong Kong before 1968. If that bothers you, feel free not to read. Whether he goes later will depend on how the story develops.
