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

After about five or six minutes, Jenny pushed the folder in front of He Yuzhu and said, "Mr. He, please sign here."

He Yuzhu quickly scanned the agreement, then signed his name at the bottom. He put down his pen and said, "Miss Jenny, I'll come back in two hours to pick up my ID and bring the remaining payment. Could you come with me to take a look at the house?"

Jenny replied, "Of course! Please wait a moment! I'll be right back."

After Jenny left, He Yuzhu used his divine sense to retrieve over a hundred stacks of US dollars and British dollars from the bank's underground vault. He then used his divine sense to shuffle and rearrange the dollars, removing all the bank's hidden markings. By the time He Yuzhu finished, Jenny had returned. She handed him a copy of the contract and then saw him out of the bank.

The city of Hong Kong today is not as prosperous as it would be in later years, but it is still much better than the mainland. He Yuzhu went to a nearby bookstore, bought a map of Hong Kong, and then found a tea restaurant. Just as he was about to go in, he saw Lou Xiao'e come out. The moment Lou Xiao'e saw He Yuzhu, she froze.

He Yuzhu was also taken aback, and asked, "Xiao'e, are you alright?!"

Lou Xiao'e asked excitedly, "Brother Zhu, when did you come to Gangcheng?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "I just arrived today. I'm leaving in a few days." Then he asked, "What are you doing here?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied, "This tea restaurant is owned by my family." Then Lou Xiao'e led He Yuzhu inside and said to the tea restaurant manager, "Uncle Atai, please bring two cups of milk tea to the back office. I need to entertain some friends."

"Yes, Miss!" Uncle Tai replied, glancing at He Yuzhu in the process.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded to Uncle Atai, then followed Lou Xiao'e to the back. Once inside the office, Lou Xiao'e gestured for He Yuzhu to sit down and asked, "Brother Zhu, how have you been in Beijing?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "They're alright!" Then he asked, "How are your parents' health?!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "That's good!"

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Uncle Atai knocked on the door, came in, placed two cups of milk tea in front of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, and then left, closing the office door behind him.

Lou Xiao'e picked up her cup, took a sip, and said, "Since coming to Hong Kong, I've found that life here is completely different from when I was in Beijing."

He Yuzhu replied, "The systems are different, so of course the living environments are different too." He then asked, "Where do you live now?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied, "My dad lives in Kowloon Tong. He lives with my aunt's family. My mom and I live in Central, near D'Aguilar Street and Stanley Street."

He Yuzhu asked, "Where's your brother?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied, "My eldest brother's family went to America, and my second brother's family went to Macau."

At this moment, He Yuzhu could detect a hint of bitterness in Lou Xiao'e's words. He Yuzhu asked, "You've separated your family?!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded, sighed, and replied, "We separated the family when we arrived in Hong Kong. I don't know what the eldest son's family said to my father. My father took back the properties under my eldest and second brothers' names. He gave my mother a sum of money, and then the family separated. My eldest brother had acquired some properties in America a few years ago, and after the separation, he took his family there. My second sister-in-law is the only daughter in the family, and her family has a lot of influence in Macau. My second brother went there to become a live-in son-in-law. My mother divided the money my father gave her into four parts. My eldest and second brothers took their portions. My mother kept my portion for me as my dowry, and with the remaining money, she gathered some elderly people who were willing to follow her and opened this tea restaurant." Then she asked, "Brother Zhu, what about you?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "What else can I be?! I'm just a salted fish. I happened to be in Guangzhou on a business trip, so I thought I'd stop by and take a look around." Then he asked, "You're still a student?!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Economics Department, Hong Kong City University."

He Yuzhu said, "This is a good major!" Then he asked, "If I gave you a sum of money, what would you do?!"

Without hesitation, Lou Xiao'e answered, "Buy the apartment!"

He Yuzhu smiled.

Lou Xiao'e continued, "I remember everything you told me when we were in Beijing. And when my father divided the family property, I kept the booklet you gave him."

"You clever little devil!" He Yuzhu couldn't help but praise him with a smile, then asked, "Are you in class today?!"

Lou Xiao'e replied, "No class!"

He Yuzhu continued, "Since you're not in class today, come with me! I have some things to take care of, so go back and tell your mom. We'll meet here in front of the tea restaurant in an hour."

"Okay!" Lou Xiao'e agreed without hesitation.

After leaving the tea restaurant, He Yuzhu began wandering aimlessly through Central. Whenever he passed a bank, he would release his divine sense to collect US dollars and British dollars from each bank and store them in his spatial dimension. After processing the money within his dimension, he packed it into two large burlap sacks. Next, He Yuzhu filled one sack with twenty 100-ounce gold bars. He Yuzhu had acquired this gold through transactions with people from other dimensions over the years.

After waiting a few minutes, He Yuzhu, seeing that it was almost time, carried two sacks of money on a shoulder pole and another sack of gold nuggets in his hand, swaying leisurely as he walked to the entrance of Lou Xiao'e's teahouse. Not long after, Lou Xiao'e and Tan Lingya arrived. He Yuzhu greeted Tan Lingya with a smile, "Aunt Tan!"

Tan Lingya greeted him with a smile, "Zhu Zi! It really is you! Xiao'e told me when she came back, and I thought she was talking nonsense!"

He Yuzhu then asked, "Aunt Tan, could Xiao'e accompany me for a walk?"

Tan Lingya turned to look at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Okay! But you must take her home before six o'clock tonight."

He Yuzhu replied decisively, "Of course!"

Tan Lingya nodded and said, "Then you can go!" She then added, "Be careful on the road! Stay safe!"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded, hoisted the carrying pole onto his right shoulder, picked up the burlap sack in his left hand, and left with Lou Xiao'e.

Walking down the street, Lou Xiao'e asked, "Brother Zhu, what's in those three sacks of yours?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Good stuff! You'll see in a bit!"

Just as Tan Lingya was about to go into the tea restaurant to sit for a while, she saw He Yuzhu take Lou Xiao'e to a bank not far away, and her brows furrowed involuntarily. After hesitating for a moment, Tan Lingya followed.

He Yuzhu led Lou Xiao'e into the bank, but before he could speak, a security guard approached. Just as the guard was about to shoo He Yuzhu away, the lobby manager who had just served him saw him, immediately ran over, chased the guard away, and greeted him with a smile, "Sir, you've arrived?!"
