My Life in the Siheyuan: Settling Accounts with Yi Zhonghai from the Start

I woke up one morning to find that I, He Yuzhu, had become the famous “Silly Zhu” of the courtyard.

My rebirth starter pack came with three classic moves: Yi Zhonghai’s moral blackmail, Qin Huairu’s tearful appeals, and Jia Zhangshi’s dramatic tantrums.

I immediately pulled out my “supermarket cheat.”

Want to take advantage of me? Yi Zhonghai, I’ll slap the evidence that you embezzled my child support right on the table! Bet you didn’t see that coming!

Want to bleed me dry? Qin Huairu, if you faint, I’ll call the union and have them give you some brown sugar! That left you stumped, didn’t it?

Want to steal my chicken? Jia Zhangshi, I already installed an “anti-thief alarm” and have been waiting for you to reach out! Bet you’re stunned!

When the courtyard vermin realized Silly Zhu wasn’t silly anymore, and had become downright dangerous, life suddenly took a turn for the worse.

I cook, and they’re so hungry they chew on shoe soles.

I count money, and they’re so broke their pockets jingle empty.

The day I bought the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai was cleaning the toilets, and Xu Damao was running errands for me.

Qin Huairu grabbed her son Banggeng. “Son, remember this: never mess with your Uncle He in this life… He’s way too ruthless!”
