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

Qin Yonggen said, "The child must be tired after traveling so far. Take him back inside to rest. We'll prepare some good food for him later to help him recover. He's suffered a lot at the orphanage these past few days."

"Alright! I understand!" With that, Zhang Liudi picked up the stick and walked into the house.

At the same time, as Hu Guidi passed by Qin Hongshan's house, she saw Zhao Lianxiang in the yard and called out, "Third Sister-in-law!"

Hearing the shout, Zhao Lianxiang looked over at Hu Guidi and asked, "Guidi, what's wrong?!"

Hu Guidi said, "I just saw Qin Yonggen carrying a child back at the village entrance. This child looks like Huairu's son."

"What?!" Zhao Lianxiang exclaimed in surprise, turning her head to shout into the house, "Old man! Old man! Come out quickly!"

Qin Hongshan, who was smoking inside, came out of the house upon hearing the shouts and asked, "Shouting like you're yelling for a ghost?! What's wrong?!"

Zhao Lianxiang said, "Qin Yonggen took the sticks back to his house."

"What?!" This time it was Qin Hongshan's turn to be stunned. Qin Hongshan then remembered what Qin Taishan had told him a few days ago. However, he was too angry at the time to answer the call. But he never expected that his carelessness would allow Qin Yonggen to take advantage of the situation. Qin Hongshan gritted his teeth, called his sons, and prepared to go to Qin Yonggen's house to get the man back.

However, before Qin Hongshan could even leave, he was stopped by the village chief, Qin Taishan. Qin Taishan glanced at Qin Hongshan's sons, then looked at Qin Hongshan and said, "Brother Hongshan, just calm down! Do you really want the whole village to laugh at your family?! Putting aside Qin Shouren's background, if you hadn't looked down on Qin Shouren back then, thinking his family was poor, things wouldn't have escalated like this. Now that it's happened, I know you're still angry. But the child is innocent. Although your sons don't mind raising another nephew, what about when they get married?! Will their wives not have any objections?! Besides, that child belongs to Qin Yonggen's family. That's a fact!"

Qin Hongshan said, "Village chief, I understand everything you're saying. But I also know what Qin Yonggen is thinking. His son is ruined. Banggeng is their family's foundation, their hope. Besides, he's trying to use this to shut me up, so he won't pay back that 500 yuan! He can have the child, but he has to give me the money in full."

Qin Taishan stared at Qin Hongshan for a few minutes, then sighed helplessly and said, "Alright! I'll go talk to him!"

Meanwhile, He Yuzhu finished teaching and returned to his office. He had just taken a sip of tea when Wang Xia walked in and asked, "Zhuzi, you're back?! How did those students do?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I've learned almost everything. We'll do a spot check in the next day or two. If everything's okay, we can start production." Then she asked, "Aunt Wang, is there anything I can help you with?!"

Wang Xia said, "Zhu Zi, once production officially starts, hand over your work and go back to the police station!"

After hearing Wang Xia's words, He Yuzhu laughed and asked, "Aunt Wang, didn't you always want to keep me here? Why did you suddenly change your mind?!"

Wang Xia replied with a smile, "Your Aunt Wang does want to keep you here. But our neighborhood office is too small to accommodate someone as important as you. I might keep you here, only to have someone else come and take advantage of you. I don't want to be someone else's stepping stone."

He Yuzhu said, "Okay! I'll finish handing over all my work in a week at most, and then I'll go back to the police station."

"Okay!" Wang Xia responded, "It's nothing, you should go home early!"

"Yes!" He Yuzhu responded, watching Wang Xia leave the office, his smile vanishing instantly. He Yuzhu knew in his heart that someone must have said something to Wang Xia. Otherwise, Wang Xia wouldn't have let him go back to the police station so easily. Regardless of what happened next, He Yuzhu felt he had been too high-profile this past year. It was time to return to his previous life of quiet contemplation.

Wang Xia returned home from get off work in the evening. As soon as she entered the yard, she smelled the aroma of cooking wafting from the kitchen. Walking to the kitchen doorway, she saw Hu Ruomu busy inside and asked with a smile, "Why did you have time to come home and cook today?!"

Hu Ruomu replied, "I happened to be free at work this afternoon, so I came back! Quickly wash your hands, call the kids, let's eat right away!"

"Okay!" Wang Xia replied, put the things back inside, and then called her child who was doing homework. The family sat down together for dinner.

After the children finished eating and left, Hu Ruomu asked, "Wang Xia, how's the preparation for the appliance production team in your neighborhood office going?!"

Wang Xia asked, "Why did you suddenly ask that?!"

Hu Ruomu said, "Today the district held a special meeting to discuss the production team situation in your subdistrict office. The district plans to organize people to come to your subdistrict office to learn from your experience. As the subdistrict office director, you wouldn't be keeping anything from us, would you?!"

Wang Xia said, "No one else knows how these production teams in our subdistrict office got started, but you certainly do! Besides, I transferred He Yuzhu from the public security bureau. They've been urging him several times already. He Yuzhu completed the formalities today, and once he finishes handing over his work, he'll go back to the police station. From now on, our subdistrict office will rely on our two subordinate factories and one subordinate production team to make a living."

Hu Ruomu frowned, looking thoughtful, and asked, "Wang Xia, what if the district intervenes and transfers He Yuzhu away from the police station? Do you think it'll work?"

Wang Xia said, "He Yuzhu's crime-solving abilities are in no way inferior to those of the production team. Besides, he himself doesn't want to leave the police force. I think you should give up on the idea of ​​transferring him!"

Hu Ruomu continued, "I have seen the samples you sent to the All-China Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives."

Wang Xia asked, "This new production group only manufactures electric fans, flashlights, and table lamps. We don't produce anything else. You could find someone to get some other related products. You can't just focus on our neighborhood office, can you?!"

Hu Ruomu sighed and said, "Alright, I understand. I never realized He Yuzhu was such a jack-of-all-trades. If I had known, I would have transferred him to be my secretary back then."

Wang Xia replied with a laugh, "Believe it or not, you give him the transfer order one minute, and he'll dare to quit the next!"

Hu Ruomu paused, then suddenly laughed, saying, "This kid is really something else! Everyone else is focused on climbing the ladder. He, on the other hand, does the opposite. No! Not the opposite, but his thinking is just unconventional! I really don't know who he takes after!"
