Siheyuan: I Start by Asking Auntie One to Be My Godmother

Sister Qin, you don't want Banggeng to get into trouble, do you? Jingru, you don't want Xu Da to know you lied to him about being pregnant, do you? Sister Xiao'e, you don't want your parents to be reported, do you? Sister Liu, you don't want people to know about your affair with Director Li, do you?

If you're really capable, then marry Jia Zhangshi, and I'll admit you're a real man.

It feels a bit like the characters are being artificially made less intelligent; I hope the author will do more research on their personalities. In the courtyard of affection, Yi Zhonghai and an old lady both knew that Lao Liu's family were scoundrels. Finding an old woman is not as good as Cao Cao's Lou Xiao'e; use gold bars to resolve your family issues.

The author's writing is decent, but portraying a 15-year-old boy as a desperate pervert, constantly cuddling and pulling at married women, seems like a recipe for disaster in an era that valued lifestyle and reputation. Was the author trying to ruin his future? Or was he perhaps planning to help Qin La after Jia Dongxu's death? These ambiguous scenes don't inspire imagination; instead, they're nauseating. Therefore, I've decided to abandon the book.

She has biological parents. This old man is shrewd; if you're abandoning your parents, aren't you worried they'll be unfilial in their old age? The character doesn't fit.

This book is quite well-written. The part about the second uncle's beaten son recognizing an older woman as his godmother is clever and not cliché. It also covers aspects like career development and Cao Cao's actions. However, with so many chapters already, it's a bit absurd that you've barely used any of your space.

Everything else is fine, but it's just a 15 or 16-year-old kid and a woman who's almost 30. What were they thinking? It's so disgusting. They're both a whole generation older than each other.

I've read up to chapter twenty and I'm starting to lose interest. The author's writing style and plot are both decent, but I don't know why they had to add a "Teddy Bear Halo" (aphrodisiac) to the story. The only two women in the courtyard (in 1959), Qin Huairu and Lou Zi, are constantly described as falling in love with the protagonist after their first meeting—in short, a "love at first sight…

The protagonist is so rude... He recognized someone as his godmother, yet he doesn't even address this old man as "Uncle"? And "Old Yi"? He never uses polite forms of address, always just calling him "you" or "your." This was incredibly ill-mannered in that era. The protagonist isn't even that powerful, so why doesn't he know basic manners? 😅

Seeing him hugging and cuddling with Qin Huairu makes me feel disgusted.
