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

Yan Bugui sighed and turned to leave. Han Laoqi watched Yan Bugui's retreating figure, his heart leaping with joy. Things just kept happening at the same time. A relative of Han Laoqi's friend, an elderly couple, was planning to move to Baocheng to stay with their son who worked there. Their house was their ancestral home, and they didn't want to sell it, so they asked Han Laoqi for help renting it out. Han Laoqi had been struggling with this issue, but unexpectedly, Yan Bugui had come knocking on his door today. Han Laoqi planned to meet Yan Bugui tomorrow afternoon to see the house and finalize the deal as soon as possible. After all, ten yuan wasn't a small amount; it was better to have it in hand quickly.

Liu Guangqi, his face bruised and swollen from Liu Guangtian's beating, had no desire to go out and party anymore, and limped home. A few nosy neighbors, seeing Liu Guangqi's disheveled appearance, asked, "Guangqi, what happened to you?!"

Liu Guangqi glanced at the neighbors, said nothing more, and went straight to the backyard. About twenty minutes later, Ma Cuilan returned from grocery shopping. The neighbors chattered, "Cuilan, your Guangqi's back! It looks like he was beaten up."

"Yes! It's Old Liu's family. You should go back and check on them!"

Upon hearing that her beloved eldest son had been beaten, Ma Cuilan was furious! Without a word, she ran home. The neighbors exchanged glances, eager to hear the gossip, and followed her.

Ma Cuilan returned home, put the groceries she had bought in the living room, and then went to Liu Guangqi's room. Seeing Liu Guangqi lying on the bed, Ma Cuilan anxiously asked, "Guangqi, what happened to you?! Who hit you?!"

Liu Guangqi turned to look at Ma Cuilan and said, "Mom! It was Liu Guangtian who hit me!"

"What?!" Ma Cuilan exclaimed in surprise, "Guangqi, why did Guangtian hit you for no reason?!"

Liu Guangqi couldn't reveal that he had wrongly accused Liu Guangtian of stealing money, so he quickly thought of a solution and said, "It's all because Dad beat him too badly. He said that from now on, whenever Dad beats him and Guangfu, he'll beat me too. Mom! I can't live like this." Then Liu Guangqi started crying.

Hearing Liu Guangqi's cries, Ma Cuilan's heart broke. She quickly comforted him, "Guangqi, don't worry! When your father comes home tonight, he'll definitely give you an explanation." At the same time, Ma Cuilan secretly resented Liu Guangtian for stirring up trouble.

Meanwhile, Liu Guangtian, who was strolling outside, sneezed a few times without realizing it, muttering to himself, "Liu Guangqi must have complained to the family!" However, Liu Guangtian didn't take it to heart at all. After walking for a while longer, Liu Guangqi saw that he had collected enough recyclables. He went to the recycling station, exchanged the recyclables for money, and headed home.

As Liu Guangtian turned into an alley, Liu Guangfu's voice reached his ears: "I have no money on me. Please let me go!"

"You think you're broke?! Who are you kidding?! Hurry up and hand over all the money you have. Otherwise, see how we deal with you?!"

Liu Guangfu said with a bitter face, "I really have no money."

"You're really willing to risk your life for money, aren't you?!"

In the entire Liu family, Liu Guangfu was the only light in Liu Guangtian's heart. Liu Guangtian couldn't stand by and watch Liu Guangfu be bullied. Liu Guangtian looked around and saw a brick nearby. He picked up the brick, weighed it in his hand, and quietly crept over.

Just as the leader slapped Liu Guangfu twice and was about to deliver the third blow, Liu Guangtian struck. Liu Guangtian grabbed a brick and smashed it down on the leader's forehead.

"Ah!" A scream rang out, and the leader instantly collapsed to the ground, his henchmen stunned. Liu Guangtian rushed into the crowd, asking, "Guangfu, are you alright?!"

Seeing Liu Guangtian was like seeing a lifeline for him; he excitedly exclaimed, "Second Brother! I'm alright!"

Holding a brick, Liu Guangtian pointed at the people surrounding them and said, "Come on if you dare! I'll take your life for yours, killing two is a bonus!"

The leader, clutching the spot where Liu Guangtian had just hit him, slowly got to his feet, gritting his teeth and roaring, "What are you all standing there for?! Get them! Kill them both!"

Liu Guangtian tightly shielded Liu Guangfu behind him, his hand gripping a brick, gesturing repeatedly to those approaching. Just as Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were about to be surrounded and beaten, He Yuzhu rode up on his bicycle, shouting, "What are you all doing?!"

"The police are here!" someone shouted, and the people who were about to beat up Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu immediately scattered. He Yuzhu rode up to Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu on his bicycle and asked, "What's going on with you two brothers?!"

Liu Guangfu peeked out from behind Liu Guangtian and said, "Brother Zhu, those guys tried to rob me. My brother saved me."

He Yuzhu sized up Liu Guangtian and said, "Not bad! You look like a good older brother." Then he looked at Liu Guangfu and asked, "Do you know those people?!"

Liu Guangfu remained silent.

Seeing Liu Guangfu's reaction, He Yuzhu knew that Liu Guangfu most likely knew all these people. He Yuzhu urged, "Do you know them or not?! If you don't want to be bothered by them forever, tell me the truth."

Liu Guangtian was getting anxious and urged, "Guangfu, do you even know them?! Just tell me!"

Liu Guangfu replied, "I know him! The one leading the group is my eldest brother's classmate. A few of the others are from the same school as my eldest brother, and a few are from the same school as my second brother."

He Yuzhu asked, "Do you know where they live?!"

Liu Guangfu first shook his head, then nodded, and said, "I know where the leader lives."

He Yuzhu said, "You two brothers come back to the station with me first. You can go back after I've caught the thief. Remember! There's no such thing as a thousand days of guarding against thieves. If we don't deal with them today, they'll come back again." After saying that, He Yuzhu urged the two men to get in the car.

About ten minutes later, He Yuzhu returned to the station with Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. Ye Guoliang happened to be coming out of the restroom and saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu getting off He Yuzhu's bicycle. He asked, "Zhuzi, what's going on here?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Instructor, we encountered a robbery on the road. These two brothers are the victims." Then, pointing to Liu Guangfu, he said, "I know the leader."

Ye Guoliang said, "Now that you know where the leader lives, take two men and bring him back."

"Yes!" He Yuzhu responded, took Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to the lounge and settled them in. After getting the address, He Yuzhu set off with the two men.
