Siheyuan: A Brand-New He Yuzhu

I've been thinking, since they traveled to such an early time, why didn't they try to change something? The Jia family's transformation, though abrupt, makes some sense. I only watched the first two episodes of the TV series; when Jia Zhangshi handed the porridge to Bang Geng, she wasn't the demonized Jia Zhangshi portrayed in most novels.

I personally think it's well-written. That's life, after all—there's strength, compromise, and adaptability. I hope it doesn't fall apart later on (some people might criticize me for helping the Jia family, since the original owner was practically eaten alive, but what does that have to do with the transmigrator?).

That's good; there's no extreme tension, no demonization. Jia Zhangshi is very realistic. A widow with children can't survive without being shrewish. There used to be a widow in the village with two children who was really difficult to deal with. She only became much better after the children grew up and she could handle things on her own.

Five stars. The slice-of-life family stories are quite good. The first few chapters might be a bit inconsistent in terms of character development, perhaps because the characters in the first few chapters weren't fully developed yet. However, these flaws don't detract from the overall quality. Of course, revising the first few chapters would make the plot flow better.

A masterpiece! Without the Jia family causing trouble, the protagonist's life could have been peaceful for decades, with minimal sacrifices. Therefore, whether the courtyard was chaotic or not was entirely up to Jia Zhangshi. The author knew this perfectly well; early on, he moved Jia Dongxu to a different workshop and brought Qin Huairu into the canteen kitchen.

I joined Tomato Bookstore specifically to read novels about courtyard houses. The TV series had too many inconsistencies, and I've always wanted a novel about family life with positive values. This novel is relatively reasonable; it doesn't demonize the Jia family. Separating the Jia family from the Yi family and Jia Dongxu makes everything make sense. Author, keep up the good work!

Having read so many stories about courtyard houses, I feel that the character settings in this book are quite close to the original work, and it doesn't demonize the entire courtyard like most other courtyard house novels do. Overall, it's quite enjoyable; the only downside is that it's a bit short.

Excellent! Five-star review! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It's a pretty good novel about pillars. There were some minor flaws at the beginning, but it became more satisfying and harmonious later on. The main characters all had good endings, getting revenge for wrongs and repaying kindness. I'm looking forward to the next one!

It's good-looking and not aggressive. The storyline is also good.
