Rebirth: Daily Life in a Courtyard Compound [1970s]

Bi Chunliu has been reborn!
Seeing her three lively younger brothers and sisters still safe and sound, she makes up her mind—this time, she will protect them and make sure they grow up healthy and safe!!

……

In a big courtyard, with so many people crowded together, all kinds of personalities inevitably clash:

• An auntie who, even in old age, can’t get rid of her “love-brain,” determined to defend her broken, suffering man;

• An auntie who desperately wants a second grandchild, constantly chasing after her son and daughter-in-law, but her son simply can’t fulfill her wish;

• A man who went out to earn money but unfortunately discovered his so‑called “good brother” was coveting his wife;

• A man abandoned since childhood, who managed to marry into a family as a live‑in son‑in‑law, only to discover he actually has a pair of wealthy biological parents;
  ……

Bi Chunliu sits with her younger siblings, cracking melon seeds as they watch this household and then that one, their eyes wide open, not daring to blink.

Then, a man comes over to the Bi siblings, wanting to join their little family. Bi Chunliu looks at that all-too-familiar face.
All right then…
