Siheyuan: Cutting Off Silly Zhu's Lunchbox from the Start

After transmigrating into the world of the Courtyard, Lin Jianguo becomes the eldest son of an ordinary household. No System, no pocket dimension. In this extraordinary era, he studies hard from a young age so his family can enjoy a better life. At last, with his technical school diploma, he lands a job in the administrative department of the steel mill. From then on, he leads his whole family to stand tall in the courtyard!

In this life, Lin Jianguo has only two goals. First, change his family’s fate. He’ll make sure his tough-as-nails father from the security department can hold his head high, help his clever younger brother reach his potential, and send his younger sister to college. He’ll make sure the whole family has enough to eat and warm clothes to wear, enjoying a life others envy even in this famine-stricken era.

Second, put the courtyard’s vermin in their place. Silly Zhu acts out and dares to lay a hand on his father? He’ll handle it by the book, so you won’t even get to take your lunchbox home! Yi Zhonghai tries to guilt-trip him with moralistic talk? I’m a state official, and I’ll crush your fake morality with the force of reason! He joins forces with the true scoundrel Xu Damao to deal with the hypocrites, then watches coolly as they rise high, only to come crashing down.

No bleeding-heart saint, no groveling. As the eldest brother, he’s a father figure. See how Lin Jianguo uses strategy and influence to protect his family and rise to the top!
