After three years as a live-in son-in-law, Chen Fan has washed clothes, cooked meals, fixed the plumbing and electricity, and chased down clients for the Lin family. In return, he gets nothing but his mother-in-law Li Cuilan’s scorn, his wife Lin Qingxue’s cold stares, and his brother-in-law Lin Zhijie’s demands. After Lin Zhijie hits someone while drag racing, the Lin family mother and daughter pressure Chen Fan to sell the only old house his parents left him. Just as his heart turns completely cold, his father-in-law, Lin Jianguo, whom the whole family has always looked down on, suddenly slams the table, pulls out 200,000 yuan in private savings and an old military medal, and takes Chen Fan away in the middle of the night. They think the two “good-for-nothings” won’t last three days, but they soon discover that without the pair of in-laws, the household descends into chaos and the company starts to collapse.
