Zhou Weiguo unexpectedly transmigrates into a courtyard house, becoming a technician at a steel mill who lives in one of its compounds. He also happens to gain the ability to read minds.
Just like that, the world becomes a lot quieter.
Qin Huairu holds out a lunchbox, looking pitiful. “We’re out of food at home, Weiguo…”
[Thought: That fool just got paid. I’ll trick him out of some money to buy meat for Banggeng!]
Zhou Weiguo says, “Get lost.”
The “God of Morality,” Yi Zhonghai, puts on a sanctimonious front. “Young people should respect their elders. About your house…”
[Thought: This house is in a great location. I need to find a way to get it for Silly Zhu to retire in!]
Zhou Weiguo says, “Who do you think you are?”
Xu Damao, Yan Bugui, Jia Zhangshi, and the rest all make their grand entrances, only to discover that their every move is completely transparent to Zhou Weiguo.
Want to guilt-trip me? Sorry, I’ll make sure you’re the one who gets publicly humiliated.
Want to take advantage of me? Sorry, I’ll make you pay back every last bit, with interest.
Decades later, all the scheming residents tremble in the courtyard as they watch Zhou Weiguo surrounded by children and grandchildren, a man they can only look up to.
