Siheyuan: a Slap in the Face at the Beginning, Teaching the Jia Family How to Behave

As soon as I moved into Qinman Courtyard, someone noticed my new bicycle. Yi Zhonghai, the most respected elder in the courtyard, clasped his hands behind his back and said earnestly: "Xiao Li, respects the old and loves the young, and is a harmonious neighbor. The Jia family should ride this car first." The shrew Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and spat: "Did you hear? The elder has spoken, please give the car to my family!" They thought that I was just a newcomer who could be manipulated at will. They believe that moral kidnapping and relying on the elderly are the unbreakable "rules" of this yard. Until I gave him a sharp slap in the face, and the hypocritical mask he had been wearing for half his life was slapped away together with his glasses.
