Siheyuan: As a War Hero's Kin, I Get Stronger Whenever Someone Uses Morality to Blackmail Me

After transmigrating into the world of Love in the Courtyard, Chen Yiyan gained a Return System that rewarded him whenever someone guilt-tripped him.

“You were guilt-tripped by Jia Zhangshi into giving Jia Dongxu two run-down tile-roofed houses. A thousandfold reward was triggered, and you received five large brick houses!”

“You were guilt-tripped by Liu Haizhong into giving him a job slot. A ten-thousandfold reward was triggered, and you received mastery of Level Eight lathe work!”

“You were guilt-tripped by the Red Star Steelworks into providing free lathe training. A thousandfold reward was triggered, and you received a blueprint for a vertical milling machine!”

“You were…”

While the courtyard’s scheming neighbors secretly celebrated all the benefits they’d taken from Chen Yiyan, he was using their guilt trips to earn countless rewards. He married Lou Xiaoe, became the Red Star Steelworks’ chief lathe operator and an engineer, and watched his salary climb higher and higher…

While countless people were still eating pickled vegetables and cornmeal buns, Chen Yiyan was enjoying meat, wearing new clothes, riding a bicycle, and watching a black-and-white TV. His life couldn’t have been better.

Many years later, Chen Yiyan stood at the pinnacle of the world and looked back, overcome with emotion.

“I owe my success to my neighbors in the courtyard. Without their care and help, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today. I have to thank them!”
