New work released! Welcome everyone to read my work on Tomato Novel. I hope you will enjoy it. Your attention is my motivation to write, and I will strive to tell each story well!
...Inside 95 South Causeway Bay, a young man is scratching his head. This man is none other than our protagonist, Wei Hua.
Wei Hua felt utterly pissed off. He was so angry that his mother had opened the door for him, and he was already home.
Wei Hua couldn't understand why he had come to this world. He was originally a corporate slave in another world. He originally thought that becoming a monk would allow him to live a wealthy life. He originally thought that a million-dollar annual salary and beautiful wives and concubines would no longer be just a dream.
But fate played a cruel joke on him. Just as he was putting the QR code on the donation box, he was struck by lightning.
Had he known this would happen, Wei Hua would never have dared to do such a despicable thing again. He was just collecting money from believers; who knew such an accident would occur?
Now that he has come to this world, Wei Hua can only try to adapt to everything here as soon as possible.
Looking at the dilapidated room and the peeling paint on the walls, Wei Hua could only accept this cruel reality. To adapt to this world, Wei Hua had no choice but to inherit the original owner's memories.
After receiving the memories of this body, Wei Hua finally understood what had happened. It turned out that he had transmigrated into a movie world, and not just any movie, but the infamous "Full House of Love."
As a working stiff, Wei Hua could understand the actions of the people in the courtyard house. There aren't that many truly evil people in the world; they're just doing what they do to survive.
Don't think that only humans have desires; even the Buddha had desires. Didn't you see that the Buddha needed to have a golden statue? Since even the Buddha had desires, it's normal for humans to have some.
Wei Hua was just a little disappointed that he had gone through so many tests to become a monk. He had originally thought that after obtaining the monk's seal, he could be like the abbot, burning incense in the temple during the day and chasing girls in a sports car at night.
But who knew that in the blink of an eye he would find himself in the Love-Filled Courtyard. Just as Wei Hua was feeling regretful, a strange voice rang out.
Upon hearing the voice clearly, Wei Hua immediately transformed. It seemed being struck by lightning wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Every transmigrator was destined to be a protagonist. He, too, possessed a cheat-like ability.
"Bind, bind. Bind me right now."
"Binding in progress".
"Binding complete. Welcome to the Causal Willpower System."
"System, how exactly do I use this system? And how did I even get into this world? Can you send me back?"
"Honorable host, you don't need to indulge in those unrealistic fantasies. You are already incredibly fortunate to have me. I am a combination of lightning and the power of incense offerings, a manifestation of the cause and effect of the world. Since you were watching 'Love in the Courtyard' at the time, you voluntarily entered the world of 'Love in the Courtyard'."
"Since I have just been born, my abilities are not strong yet, so everything still depends on the host. As for my role, it is naturally cause and effect. Since I have just been born, I currently only have one ability: if someone takes advantage of you, I can use the power of cause and effect to demand double the amount from them."
"When the other party is punished, you will also receive a corresponding reward, and what the reward is depends on your luck."
Hearing the system's words, Wei Hua was somewhat unhappy. Besides the inability to return, the system's abilities were too limited.
But since it was already a fact, Wei Hua could only reluctantly accept it. In order to adapt to this world as quickly as possible, Wei Hua could only hurry up and integrate the consciousness of this body.
Fortunately, this person shared the same name as him, Wei Hua. The three of them originally worked at a steel rolling mill. Two weeks ago, the original owner's parents suddenly had an accident.
The original owner of the body was in low spirits after the funeral. On the way back, she accidentally tripped and fell at the door. Then, the neighbors in the yard carried her back.
Wei Hua felt quite helpless about this start, with both parents deceased and no ties to the world. He wondered if it was because the system wanted to avoid detection, so almost all transmigrators followed this pattern.
After sorting through his memories, Wei Hua could only hurry to the yard to fetch some water. An army marches on its stomach; no matter what lies ahead, filling one's stomach is always the most important thing.
After fetching the water, Wei Hua returned home. After dinner, he continued to organize his memories. Through these memories, Wei Hua had roughly figured out what had happened at the courtyard house.
It turns out it's only winter of 1958, and Qin Huairu has only recently given birth to Xiao Dang. She herself, like Jia Dongxu, has only recently been promoted to a regular position.
Even Yan Bugui had only recently become the third uncle of the courtyard house. The original third uncle was his father, who had recently passed away. Even the Jia family had not yet moved into the central courtyard; they were currently living in a small house next to the deaf old lady.
As for why the Jia family lived in the small house next door, Wei Hua wasn't quite sure. Perhaps the Jia family originally lived in the small house in the backyard. After all, it was only 1958, a full seven years since the beginning of the story. Anything could have happened in those seven years. Perhaps Yi Zhonghai used his power to get the Jia family into the central courtyard.
Wei Hua didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai. He just wanted to quickly sort through the memories in his mind. Through this process, Wei Hua gained a fairly good understanding of the events at the courtyard house.
Xu Damao only joined the steel rolling mill at the beginning of this year and hasn't been officially hired yet. Even Liu Guangqi has just started vocational school. He has no grudges against these beasts in the courtyard.
My parents used to work at a steel rolling mill. They were also the third oldest in the courtyard. Because my family had three working parents, my circumstances were definitely among the best in the courtyard.
After sorting through all his memories, Wei Hua took out all the money in his house. After counting it, he found that his family was actually quite well-off.
Besides the three or four thousand yuan, there were also two small yellow croakers. Of the three thousand yuan, 1,000 yuan was his parents' pension, and the rest was what his parents had saved up over the years.
Wei Hua hid the two small yellow croakers in a crack in the wall. As for the money, he didn't hide it; Wei Hua planned to save it all.
With someone like Jia Zhangshi around, keeping money at home isn't very safe. And Jia Zhangshi isn't the only one with a penchant for petty theft; even Sha Zhu used to have that habit.
In the first year or two after He Daqing ran away, Sha Zhu couldn't even support himself. Under such circumstances, he also had to support a younger sister, which gave Sha Zhu the opportunity to commit petty theft.
Seeing how pitiful Sha Zhu was, no one reported him. Sha Zhu was aware of this and was generally quite respectful to everyone.
Since Sha Zhu and he had both just been promoted, no one was plotting against him. Even the deaf old lady didn't have much of a connection with Sha Zhu.
However, the relationship between the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu had made significant progress recently. Sha Zhu had become a permanent employee at the steel rolling mill. One job was enough to support a family, and since Sha Zhu only had one younger sister, this had greatly eased his financial burden.
This made Sha Zhu a target for many people. Even Qin Huairu had some contact with him.
In the entire courtyard, besides her deceased parents, the only person who had a good relationship with the deaf old lady was Yi Zhonghai.
The reason his family got involved with the deaf old lady was mainly because his family was well-off. Yi Zhonghai constantly promoted the idea of respecting the elderly and caring for the young in the yard. This led the deaf old lady to come to his house to take advantage of him whenever she had the chance.
She's always calling him "grandson" all the time. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was really her grandson. Perhaps because my family is well-off, and my father's skills are no less than Yi Zhonghai's, the two families have a fairly good relationship.
The only thing that puzzled Wei Hua was the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family. In Wei Hua's memory, Yi Zhonghai had been exceptionally kind to the Jia family.
Yi Zhonghai was so biased towards the Jia family that he always sided with them. Especially after Qin Huairu married into the Jia family, he completely sided with them.
After sorting through his memories, Wei Hua lay down on the bed. Perhaps due to the recent transmigration, Wei Hua was particularly sleepy. He started snoring soon after lying down.
The next day, Wei Hua felt exceptionally refreshed. In his previous life, Wei Hua was just an ordinary office worker. His physical condition was nowhere near that of Wei Hua in this era.
After waking up, Wei Hua stretched his body and got out of bed. He added some hot water, squeezed out some toothpaste powder, and began brushing his teeth and washing his face.
Wei Hua felt quite helpless about toothpaste powder. Yet, people in this era use toothpaste powder to brush their teeth, and some don't even have access to it.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Wei Hua prepared to make breakfast. But just as she lit the stove in the kitchen, Yi Zhonghai walked up to her.
When Wei Hua saw Yi Zhonghai come to find him, he knew that Yi Zhonghai was watching him. Otherwise, Yi Zhonghai would never have come to find him in person.
"Xiaohua, your father's matter is in the past, so don't be sad anymore. The most important thing for you now is to cheer up."
"I believe your parents don't want you to continue down this path. You can come to your uncle for anything in the future."
"Thank you, Uncle Yi. I've moved on from my grief."
"It's good that you've moved on from your grief. Now that you've moved on, go visit the backyard more often. The deaf old lady has been quite sad lately. She hasn't been eating or drinking. Cook a little extra in the morning and take breakfast to her. Have a good chat with her; that will help her get over her grief sooner."
Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Wei Hua felt nauseous. It seemed Yi Zhonghai was still the same old Yi Zhonghai; he hadn't mentioned a word about his fall. Instead, he wanted him to make breakfast for the deaf old lady.
However, Wei Hua did not immediately refuse the request. Instead, he communicated with the system in his mind.
"System, if I make breakfast for a deaf old lady now, will I get a reward?"
"Host, the system is not capable of doing this at present. Only when you are taken advantage of by others can a cause and effect be formed. If it is voluntary, you will not get anything."
Upon hearing the system's reply, Wei Hua didn't want to engage with Yi Zhonghai. However, to ensure they could gain more advantages in the future, Wei Hua could only politely decline Yi Zhonghai's suggestion.
“Uncle, don’t you usually deliver meals to the old lady? My cooking isn’t as good as Auntie’s. You should have Auntie cook something better and deliver it to the old lady. It’ll also help them keep each other company. My cooking is edible, but the taste is really bad. If I send it over, it might upset the old lady’s stomach.”
