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

Jia Dongxu was overjoyed to have made a hundred yuan for free. However, he wasn't satisfied at all. He was brewing a major plan. That's right! Jia Dongxu planned to go to Qin Family Village first thing tomorrow morning to have a good talk with his former father-in-law. If Qin Huairu's father was willing to pay compensation and settle the matter, everyone would be happy. If not, Jia Dongxu intended to completely ruin Qin Huairu's family's reputation!

However, Jia Dongxu hadn't expected that Matchmaker Li would help him. Anyway, since this incident, marriages in Qin Family Village have been affected. Qin Huairu's parents were also ashamed to face the village because of this, and both eventually died in despair. Qin Huairu's siblings also completely severed ties with her because of this.

When Jia Dongxu returned to courtyard number 95, he saw the daycare teacher standing at the entrance of the courtyard with Bang Geng. Bang Geng immediately rushed towards Jia Dongxu upon seeing him, calling out, "Dad!"

Jia Dongxu greeted the teacher and, instead of taking the stalk home, sent it to the neighborhood office.

"Director Wang, Jia Dongxu just came by. He left this child behind without saying anything and left." Officer Hu, who was in charge of No. 95 Courtyard and several adjacent courtyards, came to Wang Xia with a stick.

Wang Xia glanced at Bang Geng, sighed, and thought to herself, "What a tragedy!" She then said, "Send this child to an orphanage for now. Tomorrow I'll contact Changping to see if Qin Huairu's family is willing to take him in. If not, we'll think of another way. Later, go to the Jia family and pack up the child and Qin Huairu's things."

"Yes!" Officer Hu responded and left with the stick.

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu returned to courtyard number 95. He Yushui, who was playing jump rope with Xu Xiaoling in the middle courtyard, immediately stopped when she saw He Yuzhu return.

He Yuzhu took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy from his bag and handed it to He Yushui, saying, "Don't keep it all to yourself! Share it with your friends."

"Hey!" He Yushui took the candy and responded, saying, "Brother, I just saw Jia Dongxu take the sticky rice cake away. Where will he take it?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Where else could it be sent?! It's either the neighborhood committee office or the police station. But I think the neighborhood committee office is more likely."

He Yushui continued, "I heard that Jia Dongxu just went to see the matchmaker who introduced him to the woman."

"You little rascal, so young, yet so nosy! Let's mind our own business and not interfere in other people's affairs. Just live our own lives!" After saying that, He Yuzhu asked, "Have you finished your homework?"

He Yushui replied, "It was finished a long time ago."

"Okay! You guys have fun! I'm going back to cook." With that, He Yuzhu pushed the bicycle into the house, parked it, and then took the meat he had taken out of his spatial storage and headed to the kitchen.

Just as He Yuzhu finished preparing dinner, He Daqing and his wife returned with He Yukun. Hearing the noise, He Yuzhu went to the kitchen door and called out, "Dinner's ready!"

He Daqing parked his bicycle, followed his wife into the kitchen, glanced at the dishes on the table, and asked, "Where did all this meat come from?!"

He Yuzhu said, "These were reserved for me by someone I knew when I was a purchasing agent." He then placed a piece of braised pork on each of He Yushui's and He Yukun's plates, and continued, "Dad, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu have divorced."

"I know!" He Daqing replied, took out a wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, then said, "Anyone would have done the same thing in this situation. It's just that now that this has blown up, Jia Dongxu might have a hard time finding a wife in the future."

He Yuzhu asked, "Dad, do you know how Jia Dongxu is doing with his technical skills?!"

Liang Wanping chimed in, "I know about this. Before Qin Huairu's incident, Jia Dongxu had just passed the Level 4 lathe operator exam."

"I never would have guessed that Jia Dongxu is actually quite capable," He Yuzhu muttered. He then said, "Dad, it's not easy for Jia Dongxu to find a wife now, but that doesn't mean it won't be easy in the future. Just you wait and see! In three years at most, Jia Dongxu will be able to bring a new wife home." With that, He Yuzhu picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

He Yushui then spoke up, "Brother, today our teacher, Ms. Song, specifically asked me about you. Brother, do you think Ms. Song might have taken a liking to you?!"

He Yuzhu glared at He Yushui and said irritably, "Why aren't you studying properly? Why are you meddling in other people's business?! Don't you know that meddling in other people's business will stunt your growth?!"

"Hmph!" He Yushui snorted and said, "Brother! All you do is bully me!"

He Yuzhu picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and stuffed it into He Yushui's mouth, saying, "Even eating can't shut you up?!"

While chewing the meat in her mouth, He Yushui said, "Brother, could you bring me some vegetables tomorrow?!"

He Yuzhu asked, "What are you up to now, girl?!"

He Daqing said, "The school food isn't very oily. Just bring some for Yushui."

"Exactly! Studying is hard work. How can you study well if you're not eating enough?!" With that, He Yushui picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in He Yukun's bowl, saying, "Little brother, eat more!"

He Yukun nodded to He Yushui and said, "Sister, don't worry! I'll definitely eat more meat and get myself strong so I can protect you in the future!"

"Oh my?! My little Kun actually knows how to protect his older sister! I'll reward you with a piece of meat." After saying that, He Yushui picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork and put it into He Yukun's bowl. Then He Yushui gave He Yuzhu a provocative look.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Jia Dongxu got up early. He ate breakfast at a snack shop at the entrance of the alley, and then rushed to the long-distance bus station.

Jia Dongxu arrived at the station, bought a ticket, and boarded the bus. The long-distance bus then departed. After a bumpy ride of over an hour, Jia Dongxu got off the bus not far from Qinjiacun.

When Qin Huairu's mother, Zhao Lianxiang, who had finished work early and returned home to cook, saw Jia Dongxu, she excitedly asked, "Dongxu, what brings you here?! Where's Huairu?!"

Jia Dongxu said coldly, "I've sent your daughter to jail!"

"What?!" Zhao Lianxiang's face changed, and she said, "Dongxu, my Huairu has borne you children. Even if she did something wrong, you can't send her to jail!!"

Jia Dongxu sneered and said, "Beared my children?! How dare you say that?! The son Qin Huairu gave birth to isn't mine at all. He's Qin Shouren's from your village! To make it easier for her to have an affair with Qin Shouren, Qin Huairu used the money I worked so hard to earn to buy Qin Shouren a job." Then, before Zhao Lianxiang could react, he questioned, "I want to ask you, did I wrong Qin Huairu, or did Qin Huairu wrong me?!"
