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

After assigning tasks and helping unload the truck for a while, Ye Guoliang returned to his office and called the branch office to report on He Yuzhu's arrest of Bai Songwei and Bai Jingshan.

More than half an hour later, just as He Yuzhu drove the truck out of the police station, the branch office arrived. Bai Songwei and Bai Jingshan had gotten themselves into serious trouble. So this time, Zhang Qiang personally led the team.

Ye Guoliang, who was drinking tea in his office, heard the door open and saw Zhang Qiang enter. He chuckled and joked, "Oh?! Director Zhang, what brings you here, sir?!"

Zhang Qiang walked over to Ye Guoliang, pulled out a chair, and sat down, saying, "You're really having a good time, aren't you?!" He then asked, "When I came in just now, I saw He Yuzhu drive a truck out. What was it carrying?!"

Ye Guoliang said, "Didn't they distribute the task of purchasing welfare benefits to each department this year?! Our department has few people, and the purchasing funds allocated from above can't buy much at all. We can only find partners. It just so happens that the district also needs to purchase welfare benefits for the New Year. So we partnered with them. Zhuzi went to deliver things to the district."

Upon hearing that Ye Guoliang and his team had already purchased the items, Zhang Qiang immediately perked up and asked, "What kind of gifts are you planning to give out for the New Year?! Tell me about it!"

Ye Guoliang knew this couldn't be kept secret, so he didn't bother to hide it. He said, "We've bought some seafood, and in a couple of days, Zhuzi plans to go into the mountains to see if we can hunt anything. If we do, we'll all have a really good New Year. If not, oh well. Besides, the station has been saving some money, enough for everyone to get two or three jin (1.5-2 kg). Anyway, we should at least make dumplings for the New Year, right?!"

Just as Zhang Qiang was getting into it, Ye Guoliang stopped talking. Zhang Qiang looked at Ye Guoliang in surprise and asked, "That's it?!"

"That's it! That's all!" Ye Guoliang replied, then asked, "You don't think five yuan per person is a lot of stuff, do you?! Let me tell you! To ensure everyone has a prosperous New Year, our institute even subsidized five yuan per person." With that, Ye Guoliang picked up the cigarette case on his desk, took out a cigarette, and was about to light it when he suddenly asked, "Who came up with the idea of ​​each institute purchasing its own New Year's benefits this year?!"

Zhang Qiang said, "It's already decided. Do you even need to know who came up with this idea?!"

Ye Guoliang said, "If I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, I'm not interested."

Zhang Qiang asked, "Did you have any extra seafood you purchased?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Guoliang immediately became alert and asked, "Old Zhang, what do you mean by this?!"

Zhang Qiang said, "If there are any left over, give some to our branch office."

Ye Guoliang was so angry he laughed. He said, "So, all this time you've come here to freeload?!"

Zhang Qiang said, "Old Ye, if you see through something but don't say it, you can still be friends. If you're so direct, you'll end up with no friends!"

Ye Guoliang retorted, "You'd better have fewer friends like that!" He then asked, "I heard from Zhu Zi that Lai Changming has been there quite a few times. Surely he didn't fail to buy even a single pound of seafood?!"

Zhang Qiang said, "Don't you know the situation over there?! There are too many monks and not enough porridge, everyone is eyeing those seafood that have been purchased."

Ye Guoliang chuckled and said, "Old Zhang, I'm just the station chief, not the bureau chief. I can't handle this." With that, Ye Guoliang stood up and said, "Come on! I'll take you to get the person!"

Zhang Qiang stood up and, as he walked to the office door, asked, "How were Bai Songwei and Bai Jingshan caught?! Where were they caught?!"

Ye Guoliang replied, "They came to us of their own accord."

"They just delivered themselves to our doorstep?! Are they that stupid?!" Zhang Qiang said, giving Ye Guoliang a look that said, "You think I'm easy to fool?"

"Fine, don't believe me then! I'm too lazy to explain!" With that, Ye Guoliang walked towards the interrogation room. Zhang Qiang hesitated for a few seconds, but followed him.

When Zhang Qiang left the Nanluoguxiang Police Station with Bai Songwei and Bai Jingshan, He Yuzhu arrived at the district office. Wang Xia, having received a notification from the gatekeeper, was already waiting at the entrance of the logistics warehouse. He Yuzhu parked the truck, opened the driver's side door, got out, and walked up to Wang Xia, saying, "Aunt Wang, I've brought everything over. It's all in the truck."

"Okay!" Wang Xia replied, then said, "Old Cui, take some men to unload the truck. Weigh it and bring the receipt to my office."

"Yes!" Cui Kaiyang responded, and after watching Wang Xia leave with He Yuzhu, he immediately directed his men to unload the truck.

Wang Xia led He Yuzhu to her office. After gesturing for He Yuzhu to sit down, Wang Xia asked, "Have you prepared all the materials for getting your marriage certificate tomorrow?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Everything is ready!"

Wang Xia continued with a smile, "Song Ran is a good girl. You mustn't bully her! Otherwise, see how I deal with you!"

He Yuzhu said, "Aunt Wang, don't you know what kind of person I am?!"

Wang Xia glared at He Yuzhu, annoyed, and said, "I'm just reminding you! Why are you so nervous?!" Then she asked, "You really don't plan to transfer here?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Let's take it one step at a time! Even if we really have to transfer here, we should wait until after the New Year."

"You're good at everything, except you're too lazy! I really don't know who you took after in that respect!" After saying that, Wang Xia poured a cup of tea for He Yuzhu and placed it in front of him.

He Yuzhu picked up his cup, took a sip of water, and said, "I'm exhausted from preparing all this seafood today!"

Wang Xia smiled and asked, "I heard you're planning to go hunting in the mountains in a few days?!"

He Yuzhu replied seriously, "Who told you that?! That's not true!"

Seeing He Yuzhu's reaction, Wang Xia smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, you know in your heart. I understand too! There's no need for you to pretend you don't know!"

He Yuzhu said, "Aunt Wang, I'm just going into the mountains to take a look. In this cold weather, it's harder than climbing to heaven to hunt. Besides, the animals are all hibernating now that it's cold. Even those that aren't hibernating are not easy to mess with. I don't want to lose my life."

Wang Xia stared at He Yuzhu for two or three minutes, then changed the subject, asking, "I just heard Ye Guoliang say on the phone that you've done another good deed?!"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "That's right!" Then He Yuzhu recounted what had happened to Wang Xia. After listening to He Yuzhu's account, Wang Xia said, "Yuzhu, could you please do less dangerous things in the future?!"
