Courtyard Chronicles: Dad Ran Off, Now I'm Raising My Sister at the Factory

1951. Sixteen-year-old He Yuzhu is left to fend for himself and his starving little sister He Yushui after their father abandons them. Navigating life in a bustling courtyard community, he faces meddling elders who preach filial piety, a cunning neighbor who constantly begs for favors, and rivals looking to take him down. Armed with street smarts and a iron will, He Yuzhu must protect his sister, secure their future at the factory, and survive the schemes of those around him. His philosophy is simple: I don't start trouble, but I finish it.
