A ruthless financial wolf, reborn in the 1960s as Silly Zhu, the man everyone in Love in the Courtyard can bully?
Drained by the fake-sweet Qin Huairu, schemed against by the hypocrite Yi Zhonghai, and treated by the whole courtyard of vermin as their lifelong meal ticket?
No worries: the Future Information Stream System is online!
[Information: Pork will be in extremely short supply in the capital next week, and prices will skyrocket!]
While the courtyard vermin are still squabbling over a dime or two, He Yuzhu uses Grandma Deaf's "angel-round financing" to stockpile a hundred jin of pork, firing the first shot in his business empire!
Qin Huairu brings him a bowl of hot water late at night, trying the same old trick?
He Yuzhu hands her a dime instead, smiling with utterly merciless warmth. "Sister Qin, I've paid for the water. From now on, even brothers keep their accounts straight!"
The courtyard vermin turn green with envy and report him for profiteering. Caught red-handed?
The security department arrives, seals the hundred jin of pork on the spot, and leaves him in a hopeless bind?
Yi Zhonghai, the First Master: "It's over! This chess piece is about to leap off the board and become a player in his own right!"
Yan Bugui, the Third Master: "Good grief! That's a knife to the heart! This isn't Silly Zhu, it's a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
Late that night, He Yuzhu knocks on Yi Zhonghai's door, the instigator of it all. As Yi Zhonghai stares at him in terror, He Yuzhu smiles in a way that sends a chill down his spine.
"First Master, I'm not here to apologize."
"I'm here to thank you. Your report has done me an enormous favor!"
Lots of illogical plots.
