After transmigrating to a 1952 courtyard compound, Lin Ye becomes a wife-beating man plagued by every vice.
His wife's fear and his daughter's anxiety
become the favorite joke of everyone in the compound over tea.
Yi Zhonghai: Lin Ye, why don't you just get a divorce? Stop dragging that mother and daughter down with you!
Liu Haizhong: He drinks and gambles every day. Why doesn't he just die out there?
Silly Zhu: Hurry up and get divorced. I'll take care of the two of them for you.
Old Deaf Granny: Your house is just sitting empty anyway. How about swapping it for one of my rooms?
Jia Zhangshi: A freeloader like him could never compare to our Dongxu. Hmph!
Xu Damao: If a drunk like him can have a kid, what makes me any worse?
Everyone in the compound has their own schemes. Some hope he'll get divorced, while others have their eyes on his house.
But little by little, everyone discovers that Lin Ye's family is actually thriving more and more. Doesn't that just make you mad?
