Yang Lu, standing nearby, was also prepared for his mother-in-law to get angry. After all, his mother-in-law had quite high expectations of her son-in-law.

But what happened next surprised Yang Lu and Nian Xixi.

"Sit down and eat! Look at the braised pork knuckle, sweet and sour fish... all your favorites! Today is your big day getting your marriage certificate! It's a day to remember!"

Zhang Mingyue pointed to the sumptuous dishes on the table and said with a smile. Seeing her smile, Yang Lu even wondered if she knew he was pretending to be stupid!

"Mom, aren't you angry?!"

"Look at what your mother is thinking. Is your mother that kind of old-fashioned person? I've thought it through. After all, he saved your life, and you've liked him for so many years. Just marry him! I'm so happy that you're no longer single!"

Zhang Mingyue spoke to her daughter with a loving expression. Upon hearing this, Nian Xixi's eyes immediately reddened. She rushed into her mother's arms and said with a deeply moved expression.

"Mom, thank you! I thought you would dislike him."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Zhang Mingyue's facial muscles twitched slightly, but she continued with a smile.

"What's there to complain about? So what if you're a little slow? At least I won't bully you anymore! I'm relieved that you have someone to rely on! Let's eat!"

"Okay, Yang Lu, call her Mom!"

"mom……"

Yang Lu also cooperated by calling Zhang Mingyue "Mom." Nian Xixi didn't notice that as soon as Yang Lu uttered the word, Zhang Mingyue picked up the kitchen knife on the table.

This startled Yang Lu. Could it be that his cheap mother-in-law was going to...? Surely not!

"Xiao Yang is so obedient. I was so touched to hear him say 'Mom'. From now on, you're like a son to me, and I'll definitely treat you well!"

"Look at my memory, I didn't even put the knife back. By the way, there's still soup in the kitchen, I'll bring it out!"

Zhang Mingyue smiled and then took the kitchen knife and walked towards the kitchen. Seeing this, Nian Xixi breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death just now! I thought my mom was going to kill you! But it seems she's quite satisfied with you as her son-in-law! Hehe, a happy ending for everyone!"

"Mom, I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."

"Don't……"

Nian Xixi was completely relieved. To be honest, her heart had skipped a beat when her mother picked up the knife. But now it seemed she had been overthinking it.

I guess Mom accepted this reality, and then she went to the bathroom.

Yang Lu saw Nian Xixi go to the restroom and immediately wanted to stop her. However, remembering his current identity as a fool, he couldn't bring himself to stop her!

Just now, I clearly saw that when my mother-in-law held the knife, her eyes were filled with murderous intent! A person's eyes can't hide the urge to kill!

"Come on, my good son-in-law, have some soup! I specially made it for you! I guarantee it will be the most unforgettable soup of your life!"

Not long after Nian Xixi went to the restroom, Zhang Mingyue came over with a bowl of chicken soup and a smile on her face.
