Siheyuan: The Beasts I've Beaten Up Over the Years

You could call this the greatest courtyard novel ever, but I prefer to call it The Courtyard Prequel or The Extraordinary Life of Chen Xigou. The story takes place in the early 1950s. With Chen Xigou's arrival, the courtyard's conflicts officially begin. As everyone knows, there are three masters in the courtyard. But do you know how they came to be? Don't rush, the book will tell you. Do you think Xu Damao was born unable to have children? Don't rush, the book will tell you. He Daqing and the Widow Bai once shared a love for the ages. Don't rush, the book will tell you. Yi Zhonghai has curly hair, Jia Dongxu has curly hair, and Banggeng has curly hair too. Is it all just a coincidence? Don't rush, the book will tell you. What else do you want to know? Come find the truth in the book!
