    Having grown accustomed to the overly aggressive atmosphere of traditional courtyard houses, this one is a bit different. While it's been drastically altered, it's perfectly logical. After all, one small change can have far-reaching consequences. The incident of He Daqing sending money crippled an elderly man and a deaf old woman, and caused the henchman, Sha Zhu, to ignore the elderly care group, thus destroying the entire courtyard system. The protagonist's special ability is used for patriotism, specifically to exploit foreign resources. This part is very concise, satisfying, and not verbose, perfectly suited to my taste. It's a short story about an ordinary person striving to make their son a high-ranking official's child. [Laughing][Laughing][Laughing] Short and sharp, a great way to pass the time!
