Taming the Brother-in-Law

Zhou Haitao, his younger brother-in-law, had indeed beaten the original owner before.

Back then, the original owner truly had been no match for him.

Lin Feng glanced at his brother-in-law's status panel. His Life attribute had actually reached twelve.

That level of physical fitness was considered top-tier among ordinary people. No wonder the original owner could not beat him.

However, his brother-in-law's martial arts column was completely blank. Clearly, he had never practiced any martial arts.

Today, Lin Feng might as well take this chance to teach this disrespectful little brother-in-law a lesson.

Lin Feng said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, Xiaotao, you've come a long way and must be tired. Let's eat first."

Lin Feng then looked at Zhou Haitao. "Xiaotao, after we eat, let's spar a little."

Mother Lin also urged them to eat. "In-law, eat first. The food will get cold soon."

The Zhou Family was not wealthy either. They could only barely fill their stomachs and could not afford meat at every meal.

Seeing that there was still plenty of meat on the plates, Zhou Haitao opened up his stomach and began wolfing it down with loud smacks.

Smack! Madam Zhou struck Zhou Haitao's hand with her chopsticks and scolded him, "Eat slower. Don't act like you've never seen meat before."

Zhou Chunlan added several pieces of ribs to her brother's bowl. "Xiaotao, eat as much as you can. At your sister's home, there's plenty of meat."

"Mm-hmm." Zhou Haitao nodded and buried his head in the meat.

After the meal, Mother Lin made tea for the two of them.

Zhou Haitao stretched his limbs, looking rather cocky. "Come on, Brother-in-law. Let's go practice in the yard. Just in time to use you to work off this meal."

Lin Feng grinned, thinking, It's not certain yet who'll be using whom to work off their food.

The two walked into the yard, and everyone else followed to watch the excitement.

Several children leaned against the wall and shouted, "Go, Daddy! Go, Daddy!"

Zhou Haitao pointed at the children. "You little brats, why aren't you cheering for me? I gave you candy for nothing."

Little Sanbao, the foodie, took out a piece of osmanthus cake. "Little Uncle, your candy isn't as tasty as Daddy's osmanthus cake."

Zhou Haitao took off his shirt, revealing a sturdy upper body. There was even a thick patch of chest hair, making him look like a black bear.

Zhou Haitao scratched his chest hair, then clasped his hands together and cracked his knuckles. "No matter how much you cheer, your daddy will still get knocked flat by me."

Lin Feng also took off his shirt, revealing muscles that were not particularly bulky but were sharply defined.

When Zhou Haitao saw Lin Feng's muscles, his expression turned solemn. He had not expected his drunkard brother-in-law to have trained such a muscular body.

Lin Feng assumed the opening stance of the Beast Hunting Fist. His bearing changed in an instant, like that of a fierce tiger.

Lin Feng's stare made Zhou Haitao's scalp prickle. He circled Lin Feng twice, then charged forward, intending to grab him and throw him to the ground.

Lin Feng lightly sidestepped and avoided him.

Zhou Haitao tried to grab Lin Feng again and again, but every time he caught nothing but air.

Lin Feng toyed with him until he looked like a great stupid bear.

The children even laughed at him from the side.

"Little Uncle is so dumb."

"Little Uncle can't catch Daddy."

"Little Uncle looks like a big black bear."

Zhou Haitao grew annoyed. "If you've got the guts, stop running."

Lin Feng stood still and let him grab him.

Zhou Haitao seized Lin Feng. The two gripped each other's shoulders and took up a wrestling stance.

Zhou Haitao used all his strength and tried to throw him to the left, but Lin Feng stood as still as if he had grown out of the ground.

"Ah, you've gotten stronger."

Zhou Haitao did not believe he could not throw Lin Feng. He exerted every ounce of strength he had, his face turning red from the strain.

Then, with a puff, Zhou Haitao forced out a fart.

The children pinched their noses and ran far away.

Lin Feng had no intention of standing there and smelling his brother-in-law's stink bomb either. With a casual fling to the side, he sent Zhou Haitao flying. Zhou Haitao rolled four or five meters away, and his pants were scraped down in the fall, exposing more than half his buttocks.

Mother Lin, Madam Zhou, and Zhou Chunlan hurriedly turned their heads away.

Madam Zhou's face turned red. Her son had truly disgraced himself beyond all measure today.

Mother Lin said, "Xiaofeng, take it easy. Don't hurt your brother-in-law."

"Mother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Madam Zhou was also afraid her son would get hurt. "Xiaotao, stop sparring with your brother-in-law. Anyone can see you're no match for him."

Zhou Haitao got up, pulled up his pants, and dusted himself off. "Mother, I'm fine. I could take falls like that all day without getting hurt."

Zhou Haitao charged at Lin Feng again, trying to grab him.

Lin Feng sidestepped and stretched out a leg. Zhou Haitao was tripped and fell flat on his face.

Still unwilling to admit defeat, Zhou Haitao spat out the dirt in his mouth and charged at Lin Feng again.

Lin Feng sidestepped and lightly punched Zhou Haitao in the stomach.

"Ow!" Zhou Haitao rubbed his stomach for quite a while before lowering his hand.

Zhou Chunlan felt sorry for her brother. "Xiaotao, Husband, take a rest."

Zhou Haitao's stubborn temper had flared up, and he wanted to take Lin Feng down. "Sister, don't interfere. I won't beat Brother-in-law too badly."

Lin Feng smiled. Sparring with Zhou Haitao was like humoring his own children.

"Xiaotao, let's call it a day. Go back and practice properly. You can challenge your brother-in-law another day."

Once Zhou Haitao's stubborn temper rose, no one could talk him down.

"No. Today, I have to knock you flat."

Lin Feng thought, If I don't beat some sense into this brother-in-law today, he won't stop.

When Zhou Haitao charged forward again to grab Lin Feng, Lin Feng caught both his arms and forcefully twisted them behind his back.

Lin Feng applied just a little strength, his palms clamping down on Zhou Haitao's arms like iron pincers.

Pain shot through Zhou Haitao's arms. At first, he could still grit his teeth and endure it, but before long, he could not take it anymore.

"It hurts, it hurts! Brother-in-law, let go!"

Lin Feng asked with a smile, "You brat, do you submit now?"

Zhou Haitao hurriedly shouted, "I submit! I submit! Dear Brother-in-law, let go already!"

Lin Feng released him. Zhou Haitao shook out his arms and asked, "Brother-in-law, how did you become so formidable?"

Zhou Chunlan stepped forward and rubbed Zhou Haitao's wrists. "Your brother-in-law mastered his family martial arts. Beating an ordinary person like you is naturally no trouble for him."

Zhou Haitao's eyes lit up. "Brother-in-law, you really know kung fu? Can you teach me your family martial arts?"

Lin Feng wanted to tease his brother-in-law. "I can teach you, but you'll have to become my disciple."

To his surprise, Zhou Haitao dropped to his knees with a thud. "Master, please accept this disciple's bow."

As he spoke, Zhou Haitao was about to kowtow.

Lin Feng hurriedly hauled him up. "There's no need to become my disciple. Your brother-in-law was just teasing you.

Huzi comes to my house every morning to practice.

If you want to learn, you can train with him."

Zhou Haitao broke into a wide grin. "Really?"

Zhou Haitao knew Lin Hu, and the two got along quite well.

Seeing Lin Feng thoroughly tame this brother-in-law who came over every time only to bully her son, Mother Lin felt immensely satisfied.

Mother Lin said with a smile, "In-law, why not let Xiaotao stay here a few more days? He can properly learn some kung fu from Xiaofeng, as well as some hunting skills."

When Madam Zhou heard that he could learn hunting skills, she readily agreed.

"Then thank you, In-law. Xiaofeng has truly made something of himself. In-law, you can start enjoying life now. I'm really envious of you."

Mother Lin was blooming with delight. Whenever her in-law visited in the past, she had always felt inferior. Today, her son had finally made her proud.

"Haha, what enjoyment? There are still five little ancestors to raise."

Mother Lin seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, what brings you here today, In-law?"

Madam Zhou looked somewhat embarrassed, her expression unnatural. "N-Nothing. I just came to see Chunlan and the children."

In truth, she had come this time to persuade her daughter to remarry, and while she was at it, persuade Mother Lin to let her raise two of the children.

But now that she saw how generously Lin Feng's family lived, those words naturally could not be spoken.
