Siheyuan: From the Start, I Was Left with Nothing by My Relatives

The beginning was too tense; the revenge later on needs to be quick and satisfying, not too drawn out, otherwise it won't be enjoyable to read. Secondly, as a reborn person, the protagonist's father died in the line of duty (note the background you've written).

Without some kind of cheat code, would you dare live in a courtyard house...?

They've all escaped; I think it's time to get revenge on Yi Zhonghai. Let's go straight to the steel mill with banners. Even after liberation, there are still remnants of the old society oppressing the people. Let's ruin Yi Zhonghai's reputation. In those days, reputation was very important. If we ruin his reputation, he won't be able to pass any further exams. Everyone's just starting out; why avoid him? Let's take him down! Let's ruin his reputation!

It's a bit funny. In the countryside, you might be able to imagine someone being exploited to the point of having no descendants, but in the city, especially in Beijing, it's considered nonsense. In that era, you shouldn't underestimate the government and organizations. In the era of collectivism, there were many things no one dared to do. Reputation was very important. Who could tolerate someone exploiting the descendants of the deceased and bullying orphans and widows?

The author of this book clearly has no understanding of the social conditions at that time. They're just making things up with their own imagination. Based on the events at the beginning, imagine reporting someone to the neighborhood committee for being a bully—what would the result be? It's laughable. A seventh-grade worker is still a worker, but they're acting like some kind of local tyrant. It's truly speechless.

It's tasteless to eat, so it's not a waste to throw it away.

The author is clearly at least a post-90s generation and has never actually lived in public housing. I was born in the 1970s, and my parents were both born in the 1950s. I've experienced everything from living in a house in the neighborhood to working in a factory dormitory, then to a factory staff housing building, then from a public housing unit to a private one, and finally buying my own…

What era are we living in? Writing about courtyard houses with this kind of thinking wouldn't have attracted much attention even two years ago.

In the Jia family, only Jia Dongxu has an urban household registration, and his children live with their mother. Qin Huairu and Banggeng Xiaodang both have rural household registrations. Therefore, the Jia family only has one person with a quota.

Is it three rooms or two rooms? The first three chapters say three rooms, but the later chapters say two! Is this an obvious mistake?
