Reborn in 1951 in a courtyard house, He Yuzhu looked at the scoundrels filling the place and decided he wouldn't play the saint.

Qin Huairu wanted him to support her family? Get lost! Yi Zhonghai wanted someone to look after him in old age? He spun around and smacked him with a hard slap, sending him off to the neighborhood office to write a confession!

Jia Zhangshi blocked the door begging for food? He shut the door and let the dogs out, keeping the grain coupons safely hidden.

In this life, I'll cherish only my wife Yu Li and my little sister Yushui, secretly stockpile antiques, and quietly make a fortune.

At the struggle session, the whole courtyard demanded I hand over my wages? I brought out the records of Yi Zhonghai embezzling public property and the Jia family stealing and causing trouble.

If you refuse to behave with dignity, I'll make sure you do!
