The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

He Yuzhu took the money and started counting it right in front of Yi Zhonghai. Seeing He Yuzhu counting the money, Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly and asked, "Are you afraid I'll use counterfeit money?!"

As He Yuzhu counted, he replied, "You learn from your mistakes. I was so easily fooled when I was a kid!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression changed slightly, and the muscles in his face twitched involuntarily a few times. He thought to himself, "What does that silly Zhu mean by that?!" Despite his thoughts, Yi Zhonghai immediately put on a "I'm doing this for your own good" expression and said, "Zhu, as the old saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Look, could you let Jia Zhangshi off the hook?!"

He Yuzhu put away the money, tilted his head, and looked Yi Zhonghai up and down, saying, "Yi Zhonghai, it's absolutely impossible for me to get away with Jia Zhangshi! I advise you to use your time to persuade me here instead of going back and thinking about how to deal with the trouble ahead. You know better than I what kind of person Jia Zhangshi is. You also know why she came to my house to steal things. We don't welcome you. You'd better leave!"

Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized that the He Yuzhu standing in front of him was a completely different person from the He Yuzhu he knew. If it weren't for He Yuzhu's tone of voice and the fact that He Yushui hadn't changed, Yi Zhonghai would have thought that the He Yuzhu in front of him was a fake, someone had switched him out. Yi Zhonghai was about to say something more, but facing He Yuzhu's murderous gaze, he swallowed the words he was about to say and slunk away from He Yuzhu's house.

After Yi Zhonghai left, He Yuzhu closed the door. He Yushui asked, "Brother, what are we having for lunch?!"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Wait a while, I'll take you out to eat. After we eat, we'll go to the department store to buy some things. Tonight, you'll come with me to Master's house."

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu was going to take her to her master's house, He Yushui clung tightly to He Yuzhu's clothes like a frightened bird. He Yuzhu smiled and reached out to pat He Yushui's head, saying, "Don't worry! I won't give you away. Our father has been gone for so long. I haven't even gone to Master's. I have to go and say goodbye."

He Yushui asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you still going to learn to cook in the future?!"

He Yuzhu chuckled and countered, "Yushui, do you want your brother to learn to cook?!"

He Yushui's face immediately turned serious. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Brother, can you take me with you when you go to learn to cook?!"

He Yuzhu chuckled and gently pinched He Yushui's nose, muttering, "You little rascal!" Then he added, "Don't worry! Except for going to the bathroom, I'll take you everywhere I go."

"Hmm!" He Yushui nodded emphatically, then asked, "Brother, didn't Dad take all our money?! How could that old hag next door still steal our money?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Do you think your brother is really stupid for calling me 'Silly Zhu'? I've been our father's son for sixteen years. Do you think I don't know what kind of person he is?! That money is my secret stash. I'm just afraid that one day our father will abandon us. Then my brother and I won't go hungry." Actually, the money with He Yushui's name on it was given to He Yuzhu by He Daqing before they returned from Baocheng. After He Yuzhu returned and found his house had been robbed, he suspected that Jia Zhangshi was responsible. So He Yuzhu used his divine sense to scan the Jia family's house, found where Jia Zhangshi hid the money, and then cleverly switched the money with He Yushui's name with the money Jia Zhangshi had hidden.

Meanwhile, Xu Wude brought the things from his bicycle into the house. He took the teacup his wife, Zheng Xiaoying, handed him, took a sip of water, and asked, "Where's Da Mao?!"

"Yesterday afternoon your sister picked up Da Mao and Xiao Ling. She said she'd bring them back tonight!" After saying that, Zheng Xiaoying poured some hot water into the basin, then put a towel in it, and continued, "Something big happened in our compound this morning."

Xu Wude walked to the washbasin and asked, "What's the big deal?!"

Zheng Xiaoying said, "Jia Zhangshi has been arrested by the police. It was that brat He Yuzhu who reported it to the police."

"What?!" Xu Wude, who was washing his face, suddenly looked at Zheng Xiaoying and asked, "What happened?!"

Zheng Xiaoying explained with a smile, "What else could it be?! Jia Zhangshi saw that He Yuzhu's family had no elders to support them, so she wanted to take advantage of him. But that kid He Yuzhu was too tough. Jia Zhangshi couldn't break through his defenses and ended up getting herself into trouble."

Xu Wude frowned and continued, "Didn't anyone in the yard stop Sha Zhu at all?!"

Zheng Xiaoying chuckled and said, "Stop him?! What can we do to stop him?! He Yuzhu came back around 2 a.m. He came in and found the house had been burgled, so he went straight to the police station. Everyone in the yard was asleep then, who was going to stop him?!" Then she changed the subject and continued, "Oh! By the way! He Yuzhu said today that we're not allowed to call him 'Silly Zhu' anymore. You and our son should be careful."

Xu Wude nodded slightly with a solemn expression, then laughed and said, "I really didn't expect that after He Daqing left, that kid He Yuzhu actually stood firm."

Seeing Xu Wude's reaction, Zheng Xiaoying asked, "What are you laughing at?!"

Xu Wude replied, "I'm laughing at Yi Zhonghai and that deaf old lady next door. They schemed and plotted, but ended up with nothing."

Zheng Xiaoying asked curiously, "Honey, the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai miscalculated, why are you so happy?!"

"Anyway, I'm happy as long as they're not doing well," Xu Wude said.

A little after 11 a.m., He Yuzhu brought He Yushui to the entrance of Quanjude. He Yushui, smelling the aroma of roast duck wafting from inside, couldn't help but lick her lips and whispered, "Brother, are you really taking me here to eat?!"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "We're already at the door, how can we not go in?!" With that, He Yuzhu led He Yushui directly into the gate of Quanjude.

"How many guests are there?" the waiter asked with a smile when he saw He Yuzhu and his sister.

He Yuzhu replied, "The two of you!"

"Please come with me!" The waiter led He Yuzhu and his sister to a table by the window, gestured for them to sit down, and asked, "What would you two like to eat?"

He Yuzhu replied, "One roast duck, half of the carcass for soup and half for salt and pepper, two sets of pancakes, one roasted duck heart, one dish of shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and two bottles of Beibingyang soda. That's all!"

The waiter greeted, "Sir, please go over there and choose your ducks."

He Yuzhu called out, "Yushui, let's go!"

"Hey!" He Yushui responded and followed He Yuzhu to the back to pick out ducks.
