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

The officer in charge, Liu, said, "We're here to see Zhang Dalian."

"Zhang Dalian?!" Aunt Pang muttered, glancing at her neighbor beside her, and asked, "Is there such a person in our courtyard?!"

Ma Cuilan replied with a smile, "Of course she is! Isn't Jia Zhangshi's real name Zhang Dalian?!" She then asked, "Jia Zhangshi was just sitting here a moment ago, where did she go in such a short time?!"

Officer Xie, standing next to Officer Liu, asked, "Didn't she have a leg injury?!"

"She's been fine for a long time!" Ma Cuilan replied nonchalantly. Other neighbors nearby said, "I think she's just faking it. Jia Zhangshi has always been lazy and good-for-nothing; sending her to jail is worse than killing her!"

The police officers exchanged glances, each understanding the situation, and said nothing more. They headed straight for the central court. Just as the police were about to pass through the hanging flower gate, they saw Jia Zhangshi walking towards them. The moment Jia Zhangshi saw the police, her expression changed instantly.

Looking at Jia Zhangshi, Officer Liu said, "Zhao Dalian, you're recovering quite well!"

Jia Zhangshi paused awkwardly for a moment, then replied, "Comrade, you've mistaken me! I haven't fully recovered yet. My wife just gave birth, and there's no one at home to take care of her. I have no choice but to take care of her myself."

Officer Liu then asked, "You were told to report to the police station once a week. How many times did you go?!"

Jia Zhangshi was immediately speechless. She had long since forgotten about the matter. She felt it made no difference whether she went to the police station or not. Even if the police came, they couldn't do anything to her. What Jia Zhangshi didn't know was that the day after Qin Huairu gave birth, the police station planned to send Jia Zhangshi back to continue serving her sentence. However, after Wang Xia found out, considering the Jia family's true situation, she intervened and contacted Zhang Qiang, asking the police to postpone arresting Jia Zhangshi for a month. That's why it was delayed until today.

Seeing that things were going wrong, Jia Zhangshi turned and ran home. Being quite stout, she couldn't run fast and was quickly caught by the police. Two officers worked together to subdue her. Just then, Qin Huairu heard the commotion and ran out of the house. Seeing the police had arrested Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu panicked and immediately rushed forward, saying, "Comrades, please have mercy! Let my mother-in-law go!!"

Police Officer Xie said, "Qin Huairu, given your mother-in-law's situation, we should have come to arrest her much earlier. The reason we delayed was because of your family's actual circumstances." He then urged, "Go inside quickly and help your mother-in-law pack some clean clothes. We need to take her away soon!"

Qin Huairu feigned a pitiful expression, but inwardly she was overjoyed. Lately, she had been subtly pressuring Jia Dongxu to send Jia Zhangshi home. However, no matter how much she encouraged him, Jia Dongxu, for the sake of his pride, refused. Now, Jia Zhangshi was being taken away again. This was exactly what Qin Huairu wanted. She took the child from Jia Zhangshi's arms and went home, sobbing. About ten minutes later, she emerged carrying a package.

The police took the package from Qin Huairu, and two police officers escorted Jia Zhangshi away from No. 95 courtyard.

Qin Huairu stared in the yard for a while, and after confirming that the police had left, she immediately picked up the stick and headed straight for the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

"Comrade, could you please call Jia Dongxu from the forging workshop for me?" Qin Huairu, carrying the steel rod, walked and stopped for more than forty minutes before reaching the gate of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and speaking to the gatekeeper.

The security guard on duty glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "Wait!" Then he went into the gatehouse and made a phone call to the forging workshop. About fifteen minutes later, Jia Dongxu rushed out of the factory in a panic. He greeted the security guard at the gate, then pulled Qin Huairu aside and asked, "Why are you carrying a child?!"

Qin Huairu cried, "Dongxu, something happened at home. The police came to our house and took Mom away."

"What?!" Jia Dongxu's face changed instantly. He asked, "Why are the police arresting Mom out of the blue?!"

Qin Huairu said, "The police said that Mom's injuries have healed, but she still has to go back to serve her sentence."

"What?!" Jia Dongxu had completely forgotten that Jia Zhangshi would have to go back to serve her sentence after her leg healed. Jia Dongxu hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Where is Mom now?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "I reckon she's probably still at the police station."

"Wait here for a moment, I'm going to the factory to ask for leave." With that, Jia Dongxu went back to the factory. About twenty minutes later, Jia Dongxu came out of the factory. He handed his exit slip to the security guard at the factory gate. After verifying it, the security guard let Jia Dongxu leave.

After rushing all the way, Jia Dongxu arrived at the police station with Qin Huairu and the child, just in time to see Jia Zhangshi being put into a car. Jia Dongxu took three steps at a time and immediately ran to Jia Zhangshi's side, grabbing the car window with one hand, and said, "Mom! Go over there and reform yourself well. Try to come back as soon as possible."

Madam Jia cried, "Dongxu, you must find a way to save your mother! I don't want to go!"

Jia Dongxu comforted her, "Mom, you still have a little over a year left. Just grit your teeth and it'll pass. I'll visit you often in the future!"

Before Jia Dongxu could finish speaking, the police officer next to him pulled Jia Dongxu's hands off the car door. After watching the car carrying Jia Zhangshi leave, the police officer also released Jia Dongxu.

Looking at the dejected Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu asked, "Dongxu, what should we do next?!"

Jia Dongxu glared at Qin Huairu and shouted, "Let's go home!"

"Dongxu, have you gone to see your mother?!" As soon as Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, and their child stepped into the gate of No. 95 courtyard, the gossipy neighbors swarmed over like locusts seeing ears of wheat, surrounding Jia Dongxu and his wife.

Jia Dongxu said, "Thank you all for your concern. My mother is fine! Her time to recuperate at home is up. It's normal for her to go back to serve her sentence." After saying that, Jia Dongxu pushed through the crowd and walked towards the hanging flower gate.

Qin Huairu, following behind, didn't dare say anything, only smiling obsequiously, before following Jia Dongxu home. Watching Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu's retreating figures, some neighbors remarked, "The wicked will be punished by the wicked. Jia Zhangshi deserves what she has today."

"Exactly! But then again, Jia Zhangshi was sentenced to four years, and she's already served more than a year. She'll only have to serve another year or so before she gets out. Our courtyard won't have any peace and quiet again."

Yang Ruihua chimed in, "If we can get her in once, we can get her in a second time. At worst, we'll figure out a way to get her back in later."
