The Crazy Son-in-Law Comes Down the Mountain

As a veteran in the world of useless sons-in-law, Cao Xuan suddenly awakens. Be king for a day, and king for life. He is lovestruck for love, and mad with passion.

Cao Xuan looks impassively at his mother-in-law, who even dares to take a cleaver to him, and calmly offers her a new knife. "The blood effect isn't quite convincing. Maybe this knife is a little dull. Here, let me get you a sharper one. Keep going."

Only Lin Mengyan is silly enough not to realize it's all an act. With a hand covered in ketchup, she smears it across Cao Xuan's face. Cao Xuan watches Lin Mengyan affectionately as she sticks out her tongue and licks the "blood" from the corner of her mouth. "This ketchup is a great color, honey. Let's buy extra tonight. Otherwise, Mom won't have any props for her next performance."

Lin Mengyan reaches out and tastes some. Her little face turns bright red in an instant. Cao Xuan never saw that coming. He had thought his mother-in-law just needed putting in her place, and that once he had her under control, the whole family would settle down. Who could have guessed she'd pull a stunt like this?

Cao Xuan secretly decides that it looks like he'll have to use stronger medicine.

"Cao Xuan, you have to promise me. You can't leave Mengyan."

Cao Xuan takes a sip of tea and replies gravely, "Well, we'll see."

Lin Mengyan appears from who knows where. "Cao Xuan, what did you just say?"

"Mercy, my darling! You can hit me, but don't hit the baby."
