Siheyuan: You Want to Take My Inheritance? I'll Crush You All

I’m Yu Zhu, a 21st-century delivery worker, one of the working stiffs. And then, as luck would have it, I got hit by a truck. The good news is that I transmigrated and got a System. The bad news is that I ended up in the Beastly Courtyard, facing a pack of neighbors rubbing their hands together, mouths agape as they close in to attack. He Yuzhu doesn’t wait until tomorrow to get revenge. All I want in this life is to be a cook, marry a woman from Mizhi, have a few children, and enjoy a warm bed with my wife and kids. When He Daqing runs off to Baoding to work as a live-in son-in-law, I tell him, “Dad, leave me the house, the money, and the recipes.” When the fine neighbors try to grab everything I own, I tell them, “You want to take it all? Not a chance!” When Jia Zhangshi steals and wrecks my bike, I tell her, “Straight to jail. Enjoy your stay.” When Yi Zhonghai and Deaf Granny scheme against me, I tell them, “I’ll make sure you two never leave each other, in life or death.” The youngest master chef in the culinary circles of Beijing? That’s me. After I helped Fengzeyuan take off, I went straight to the Iron Boss, even though I’d once sworn I’d never work at the Steel Mill. The Iron Boss gave the Russians a taste of their own medicine, but, unfortunately, my future father-in-law cost me my job. After a few twists and turns, I ended up back at the Steel Mill. “You people have really put me through the wringer.” The youngest head of logistics at the Steel Mill? That’s me. I sit back and watch Li Huaide and Yang Jianjun beat each other black and blue, quietly fishing in troubled waters as I climb the ladder one step at a time. The Six Ministries? The Cabinet? Or the Seven Warlords Under the King? No, no. Actually, I just want to be an ordinary, unassuming cook. I’ll never forget why I started, and I’ll stay true to my mission.
