Programmer Li Yan worked overtime for 72 straight hours and died suddenly. When he opened his eyes again, he had become the deaf old lady from Love in the Courtyard. Having had enough of workplace manipulation in his previous life, he opened his eyes in this one to find the entire courtyard full of scoundrels pressuring Silly Zhu to donate three months' wages. Yi Zhonghai tried to guilt-trip him: “The old lady is highly respected. Say something!”
Li Yan laughed in fury and slammed his cane against the ground. “Director Wang from the subdistrict office is right outside! Shall I invite her in to judge for herself how this model courtyard is pressuring a worker to hand over his hard-earned wages?”
Silence fell over the courtyard. Qin Huairu's sobs caught in her throat.
That night, Silly Zhu crouched by the doorway, choking back tears. “Grandma, why did you only help me?”
Li Yan handed him two steamed buns made of coarse grain, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. “Remember, from today on...”
“I make the rules in this courtyard.”
Isn't Xiao Qin your grandma? How can she be a teacher?
Since it's the story of an old lady building a courtyard, what's the point of talking about things outside the courtyard? Why not fly to a beautiful country? A novel without logic!
