I bring bad luck to my husband, you bring bad luck to your wife.

"Brother, what's the worry?" Yang Tongchuan sat down next to his brother.

"You're not asleep either. I'm worried that my aunt will come looking for trouble again tomorrow, so I'm thinking about whether we should take the family away to hide for a few days."

When the two brothers left today, judging from their aunt's expression, she was still unwilling to give up the house. She said she would take the whole family to the tea shop's entrance to "prove her point by dying."

Yang Tongshan was worried that if things escalated, his family would have to clean up the mess in the end.

After all, Yang's mother was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and she would easily give in if coaxed a little.

"Where can she hide? You know what kind of temper your aunt has. If she can't find us, she might even tear down our door and move in herself."

"That's true. How about this, I'll have Niu Sanli stay at home for a few days. If Aunt goes crazy, at least there'll be a man at home who can hold her off for a while. Besides, he's fast on his feet, so he can come find me if anything happens."

"Alright, I'll switch shifts with my colleagues these next few days and try to go out on patrol less. If anything happens, have Yanzi come to the yamen to find me, and have Niu Sanli come to Xindian to find you."

"Well, let's leave it at that for now. Sigh, how did I end up with such a family of relatives?"

Just now in the house, Mingle told Yang Tongshan about how her aunt had scolded her back then.

Yang Tongshan was furious. He had originally thought of helping out because of family ties.

But now, facing this relative who has been hurting his family all along, Yang Tongshan's last bit of affection has been completely exhausted.

The next day, Niu Sanli moved in and lived in a storage room next to the east wing.

Before leaving home, Yang Tongchuan unleashed Zhen Laifu's dog leash and locked the front door of his house.

Fortunately, nothing happened during the day.

In the evening, Yang Tongshan returned home a little earlier than usual, and brought back a pair of pearl earrings for Mingle.

These are long-overdue pawned items in the store, originally intended to be sold at the Treasure Pavilion.

Yang Tongshan thought it was a perfect match for Ming Le, so he bought it for himself.

"Such a big bead, it must be so expensive. I'm always wasting money. Is it pretty?" Ming Le's eyes light up when she likes something.

"You look good in anything." Yang Tongshan felt much relieved looking at his wife's smiling face.

Mingle has recently stopped taking those fertility-enhancing medications and is in much better condition.

While the couple were talking inside the house.

There was a rapid banging on the door.

"Auntie, Auntie, something happened to my mom."

It was Tong Shenghu's voice.

When Yang Tongchuan returned home, he saw his parents, Yang Tongshan, Niu Sanli, and Tong Shenghu walking out together.

"What's happened now?" Yang Tongchuan was really exasperated. Why did the Tong family always seem to run to their house whenever something happened?

"My aunt burned the house down."

Yang Tongshan's understanding of his aunt is still not deep enough.

Yang Tongchuan thought his aunt was really fierce, daring to burn down the house.

Originally, Shan Shan was supposed to go in alone, but now it seems the mother and daughter might have to go in together.

Yang Tongchuan stopped this group of people.

With so many people going in together, anyone who didn't know better would think they were going to fight.

After discussing it, Mr. and Mrs. Yang decided not to go for the time being, and instead sent a few young people to see what was going on.

When they arrived at Tong Shanshan's place, Yang Tongchuan first smelled a burning odor, but since he didn't see any thick black smoke, he knew the fire must have been extinguished.

"Officer Yang is here, just in time, I was just about to report to the authorities." The speaker was a lawyer who looked familiar to Yang Tongchuan.

He helped prisoners get things done, and Yang Tongchuan remembered him.

"What happened?"

"We came to take possession of the property today with the deed, but the owner refused to leave. The old lady even set several rooms on fire. Luckily, we discovered it quickly, and the fire didn't spread." The lawyer was truly astonished; he hadn't seen such a crazy old woman in a long time.

A large group of people went in, while Yang Tongchuan stood outside trying to get information out of the lawyer.

This question was too serious. The tea merchants were already planning to destroy Tong Shanshan's family. Now, in addition to adultery, they were also going to add arson to the charges.

"Tongchuan, come and catch him! He's trying to steal my house!" My aunt was dragged out of the house in a disheveled state.

Tong Shanshan was also being held down by two nannies.

Tong's father and Tong Shenghu followed behind with their heads hanging low.

"Tongshan, please save your aunt! She's your own aunt, your mother's younger sister!" Tong's father pleaded, grabbing Yang Tongchuan's hand.

"They're going to send your aunt and your sister to jail."

"Uncle, smoothing things over requires real money. If I just open my mouth, who will pay attention to me?" Yang Tongchuan thought to himself, "You can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people."

"You can pay for it first, and your younger brother will pay you back when he has money in the future." The Tong family is so rich they're not afraid of being bitten anymore.

Yang Tongchuan ignored these two clueless people.

Since he didn't see his older brother come out, Yang Tongchuan quickly walked in, ignoring his aunt's family of oddballs.

"Big brother!" Yang Tongchuan called out.

"Here it is." Yang Tongshan's voice came from a charred woodshed.

Yang Tongshan had been communicating with the other party's manager for a long time, but the manager was very assertive and didn't want to talk anymore. He planned to go to the government office to reason with them.

"Brother, this family is beyond saving."

The only thing Yang Tongchuan can do now is to make sure they don't have too much of a hard time once they're inside.

There are no idle people in prison.

Yang Tongchuan will still be able to help out wherever we are assigned to work.

"I understand, let's go back. Sanli, you can go straight back to the shop later, thank you for your hard work today."

"It is Sanli's good fortune that the shopkeeper can make use of Sanli."

After Niu Sanli left, Yang Tongshan bid farewell to the manager and prepared to leave with Yang Tongchuan.

"When you go back, don't tell your mother the truth yet. Wait until the case is almost over, then tell her there."

"Okay, brother, I'll take care of things with the yamen, don't worry."

"Um."

When the two brothers came out, the entire Tong family, a house full of oddballs, had already been taken to the yamen (government office).

Yang Tongchuan deliberately didn't go to the yamen to make arrangements that night, hoping his aunt would behave herself.

Unexpectedly, when he went to the government office the next day, everyone looked at him differently.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Tongchuan grabbed a constable he got along well with and asked him a question.

"Your aunt and cousin came in last night. As soon as they came in, they claimed to be Officer Yang's aunt and said anyone who dared to touch them was dead. The people in the prison thought they were your relatives, so they didn't do anything and were waiting for your letter. But you didn't come all night, and the mother and daughter made a scene in the prison all night. They've only just calmed down now." The constable was quite helpless. His colleague on duty last night hadn't slept well because of the noise from the Tong family mother and daughter.

Yang Tongchuan hadn't sworn in a long time.

Yang Tongchuan went to the prison cell first to apologize to the cell boss. He specifically stated that the interrogation should be conducted as it should be, and that the prisoner should be spared.

The jailer wasn't stupid; he wouldn't kill Yang Tongchuan out of respect for him.

Then Yang Tongchuan went to Constable Wang immediately to explain the situation.

Fortunately, Constable Wang didn't say anything harsh; he simply told Yang Tongchuan to stop interfering in the matter.

Yang Tongchuan understood; the tea merchants had made their move and had already presented a gift to Constable Wang.

At lunchtime, Tong's father went to the yamen to find Yang Tongchuan.

Last night, my aunt took the blame for the arson herself, which allowed Tong's father and Tong Shenghu to leave unharmed.

"What are you doing here at this hour?" Yang Tongchuan thought to himself.

Why not wait a little longer? Then you could get a new wife.

"We've already moved all of Shanshan's things out, so the house can be returned to them. Now she can leave, right?" Whether Tong's father was genuinely naive or just pretending, it was too late for him to realize they needed to move.

"My dear uncle, you burned down their house and still want them to release the people." Yang Tongchuan suddenly understood why his older brother wanted to take the family away to hide.

When talking to my aunt's family, it's impossible to have a conversation using the same thought process as a normal person.
