Siheyuan: Silly Zhu, Did Your Old Man Beat You Up Again?

Reborn as Silly Zhu’s real uncle, He Daqing rules the courtyard with shameless antics

In 1962, He Daqing transmigrates into the body of He Yuzhu’s uncle, another He Daqing who should have “disappeared” long ago. He even gets an “Old-Man Entitlement System”: the more he bullies shameless troublemakers with his antics, the more points he earns, which he can trade for food, medicine, and a comfortable life!

As soon as he enters the courtyard, he catches Jia Zhangshi stealing Silly Zhu’s food and Xu Damao badmouthing people behind their backs. Meanwhile, Silly Zhu is still acting like a lovesick fool, throwing himself at them?

System: “Shameless troublemaking detected. Host can activate Antics Mode!”

He Daqing immediately blocks Jia Zhangshi with his cane. “You old hag! Stealing food from my He family? Do you want this old man to go to the commune and cry for justice?”

Then he turns and scolds Silly Zhu. “Are you missing an arm or a leg? Why are you spoiling a bunch of ungrateful wretches? If you keep acting like a lovesick fool, I’ll report you to the steel mill for neglecting your elders!”

When Xu Damao tries to cause trouble, He Daqing plops down on the ground and wails, “There’s no justice in this world! Xu Damao is bullying an old man and trying to ruin my nephew’s marriage prospects!”

From then on, the courtyard’s shameless troublemakers are thoroughly rattled. Jia Zhangshi no longer dares to mooch meals, Xu Damao dodges He Daqing whenever he sees him, and even the courtyard’s senior residents have to show him some respect.

He Yuzhu has it worst of all. He can no longer play lovesick fool whenever he wants. He’s kept on a tight leash, saving grain and money every day. He calls him “Uncle,” but his heart trembles with fear.

The System’s points keep piling up, and He Daqing gets meat at every meal. He’s living better than anyone.

The troublemakers: “He Daqing’s a living King of Hell! Don’t mess with him!”

He Yuzhu: “Uncle, I was wrong. I won’t keep giving handouts to people anymore!”

He Daqing strokes his cane and smiles. “Good. Behave, and you’ll get meat. Otherwise...”
