Siheyuan: A Chef's Happy Life

1958.

Su Chen arrives in a courtyard full of scoundrels.

His parents have passed away, leaving Su Chen and his younger sister to depend on each other.

His father's job, the family's property, and even Su Chen himself are all choice prey in the eyes of the courtyard's vultures.

The moral paragon Yi Zhonghai speaks up:

“Qin Huairu doesn't have a job. We're all neighbors in the same courtyard. Sell her your job for cheap, and everyone will be grateful to you.”

The spirit-calling messenger Jia Zhangshi immediately chimes in: “The Su family has two houses, and you and your sister don't need both. Let me use the spare one for a while, and I'll even cook you a meal.”

The master schemer Yan Bugui joins in too: “Give my family some food, and I'll have my wife cook for all of us.”

Liu Haizhong, the devoted father and dutiful son, waves his fan with an air of authority: “This matter needs a leader, naturally. I think I can make a fair plan for everyone.”

Qin Huairu, in her thirties, twists her body and flirts at Su Chen: “Little Su Chen, your big sister will definitely take good care of you from now on.”

His little sister hides behind him, fear in her eyes. One disgusting incident after another unfolds before Su Chen.
