My Life in the Siheyuan: Laid-Back, but I Hold a Grudge

Reborn in 1951 in a siheyuan courtyard, He Yuzhu looks at the beasts filling the place and decides he won’t be a saint anymore.

Qin Huairu wants to latch onto him for support? Get lost! Yi Zhonghai wants him to provide for his old age? He gets a hard slap and is sent to the neighborhood office to write a confession!

Jia Zhangshi blocks the door begging for food? Shut the door and let the dogs out. Keep the ration coupons hidden.

In this life, I, He Yuzhu, will care only for my wife Yu Li and my younger sister Yushui. I’ll quietly stockpile antiques and make a fortune without drawing attention.

At the public denunciation meeting, the whole courtyard demands I hand over my wages? I pull out the ledgers showing Yi Zhonghai embezzling public property and the Jia family stealing chickens and dogs.

If you refuse to behave with dignity, I’ll help you learn how!
