Siheyuan: Whoever Wants to Be That Doormat Silly Zhu Can Have the Job!

He Yuzhu had a dream. In it, he spent his whole life as the Jia family's free meal ticket and twenty years as Yi Zhonghai's sucker for old-age support. He ended up alone, with no one even there to bring him a bowl of hot soup.

Then he woke up.

Wait, no, he had transmigrated,

into the role of He Yuzhu, the most miserable “good guy” in the courtyard. The Deaf Granny guilt-tripped him from above, the Jia family came begging for handouts every few days, First Uncle schemed to make him provide for his old age, and Xu Damao mocked him for being poor on a daily basis.

Everyone in the courtyard thought he was supposed to be a sucker.

Until a voice rang out in his mind:

“Ding! [Clear-Eyed Living System] activated! Host has endured long-term moral blackmail. The System will grant generous rewards for every successful refusal. The more firmly you refuse, the greater the reward!”

From then on, Jia Zhangshi asks to borrow money? Refuse! Reward: fifty jin of pork.

Yi Zhonghai tries to arrange a match for him? Refuse! Reward: Grade Eight fitter skills.

The Deaf Granny wants him to support the whole courtyard? Refuse! Reward: a courtyard house in the capital.

He Yuzhu grinned. “Please, keep the moral blackmail coming. I've barely had enough.”

By refusing to give in to the beasts' moral blackmail, He Yuzhu rides the tide of the times, rises to success, and becomes a business tycoon!
