In the early 1960s, He Yushan, a top combat hero, returned home after leaving the military.
The moment he opened the gate to the courtyard, he saw his younger sister Yushui, skin and bones, drinking cold water from the trough in the freezing weather!
Meanwhile, his own younger brother, Silly Zhu, was carrying a plate of fragrant braised pork and shamelessly fawning over the widow Qin Huairu!
He Yushan laughed in fury and smacked Silly Zhu so hard he went flying.
"There is no room in the He family for a useless leech who latches onto a widow!"
Seeing the scheming faces all around the courtyard, the soldier brother laid down some ironclad rules!
Yi Zhonghai tried to use his age to guilt-trip him?
He pulled out his military ID, slapped him with a charge of political misconduct, and sent him straight to jail!
Qin Huairu played the victim, hoping to keep leeching off them?
He kicked over her lunchbox and forced her to pay back every bit of the He's family fortune she'd eaten, with interest!
Jia Zhangshi threw a tantrum and dared to insult a soldier?
He shoved her into a snowbank and dragged her off to the police to be sent to a labor camp!
From that day on, anyone in the courtyard who tried to scheme against the He family would have their teeth knocked out one by one.
