Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 361 Mom, I'm Sorry - Be More Careful Next Time

A month passed quietly, and all the conflicts and problems piled up again.

Tao Yan waited at the school gate early. The sky was still clear when she left home, but now it is covered with dark clouds. She and other parents crowded at the school gate, waiting for their children to come out without getting wet in the rain.

Zhou Leng took off his clothes and held them above his head and ran all the way to his mother's umbrella. After he put on the thick clothes his mother brought, he said, "Mom, you must have been waiting for a long time. Are you cold?"

Tao Yan reached out and held her son's hand tightly and said, "It's not cold. Mom is wearing a lot of clothes. Let's go home."

The two of them walked slowly towards home, and the pedestrians on the road were all walking in a hurry.

Tao Yan suddenly slowed down her pace, and Zhou Leng followed her gaze and saw an elderly couple walking not far away. The old man was holding an umbrella to cover himself tightly, while the old lady had most of her body exposed to the rain, and she stretched her neck to the side and barely put her head under the umbrella.

When Tao Yan saw this scene, it was as if she saw herself many years later. She had spent most of her life but still failed to understand a person's heart. In the end, she wasted her years and was moved by herself.

"mom!"

Zhou Leng's voice brought Tao Yan back to reality. She tightened her son's raincoat and quickened her pace.

After the mother and son returned home, Tao Yan was cooking in the kitchen. What she had just seen was still in her mind. The cold rain poured down on the old lady, and her wet clothes stuck tightly to her body. She stretched her head hard, but didn't say a word.

Tao Yan wondered if it was because she had never worked in her life and had no pension when she got old, so the old lady had always relied on the old man, which was why now even an umbrella could only take up space for her head.

Today's dinner was exceptionally quiet. Faced with burnt stir-fried dishes, overly salty stews, and cloyingly sweet cold dishes, Zhou Leng ate three bowls of rice without changing his expression while Tao Yan was in a trance.

"Son, you've eaten so much, doesn't your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

Zhou Leng looked at Tao Yan innocently and said, "Mom, I only ate two bowls, and you ate two bowls yourself, don't you know?"

Tao Yan fell into self-doubt.

***

Liu Changli was criticized by his leader at the company today and was scolded by a client after get off work, so he was in a bad mood. After entering the house, he first took off his shoes and threw them aside, then went to the kitchen, took out a can of cold beer and drank it.

When Tao Yan saw the man coming back, she brought the warm food in the pot to the dining table, and then went back to her son's room. After all, Zhou Leng was now at the age where he needed to be supervised while doing his homework.

"Fuck, you lost your mind when you were cooking today. I worked hard all day and came home to eat this. My son is still growing and you feed him this salty dish."

Tao Yan walked out of the room and said calmly, "Just eat what you have. The child is doing homework. Please keep your voice down."

It was not known whether it was the indifference and calmness on his wife's face that angered Liu Changli, or whether he had been restraining himself for a month, but he angrily picked up the plate on the table and threw it on the ground. The crackling sound was accompanied by ceramic fragments and flying food, and the clean floor was already a mess.

Liu Changli looked at Tao Yan who was hiding backwards. He thought of his leader throwing the documents in front of him, and of the client pointing at him and talking to him. He wanted to see the same cowardice on his wife's face, and wanted to see his wife's bitter plea.

Liu Changli walked towards Tao Yan.

Tao Yan's face was calm, but her hands were shaking. She walked quickly towards the master bedroom as she didn't want to be seen by her son.

Bang.

The old-fashioned ginger-yellow wooden door of the second bedroom suddenly flew out. Tao Yan was inside the door of the master bedroom, and Liu Changli was chasing her two meters behind her. The wooden door hit the side wall so accurately that it almost touched Liu Changli's face.

The two turned their heads in shock and saw Zhou Leng retracting his hands.

The boy's innocent voice rang out in the house: "Why did the door fly away?"

The two adults didn't react, so the boy walked to the door that was leaning against it, kicked it lightly in the middle and said, "What kind of quality is this door?"

Click.

The door broke in two.

Liu Changli walked to the wooden door with two voice-changing sections suspiciously. He lifted it with his hands, kicked it with his feet, and then he fixed his eyes on his son.

After seeing her husband's strange behavior, Tao Yan realized what had happened. She walked anxiously to her son, and her first reaction was to hug him in her arms. She was scared. The stronger the child was, the more uneasy she felt in her heart. She was afraid that the child would be taken away for research, and that there would be a bad price behind his power.

Everything came to an abrupt end under this broken door.

The three of them sat on the sofa, and Liu Changli asked seriously, "Son, when did you become so strong? What did you eat?"

"After I ate the meal that Mom made tonight, I heard you guys arguing in the living room. I was afraid that Dad would hit Mom, so I came out in a hurry. I pushed the door gently and it flew away. I didn't kick it hard at all, but the door broke."

Liu Changli looked at Tao Yan, as if asking, what's in the food you cooked?

"It's probably not the food. I ate it too, and there was no change."

Liu Changli took out the baton from home and asked his son to try to bend it.

Zhou Leng controlled the strength and the baton did not move at all.

Liu Changli raised his hand and hit Tao Yan hard.

With a snap, the baton broke into two parts, one of which flew towards Liu Changli's arm.

"what."

The man's scream brought Tao Yan back to her senses. She couldn't help but ask, "If your father were to do something, would you become stronger?"

Zhou Leng nodded uneasily and said, "It seems so!"

Liu Changli rubbed his arm and looked at the two people who were glaring at him on the sofa. He swallowed the curse words he wanted to say, and rubbed his arm with trembling hands that wanted to hit them. He even felt that his arm was broken.

Zhou Leng looked at the man's painful expression and said gently, "Dad, I'm sorry. I will pay more attention next time."

Liu Changli forced a perfunctory smile, turned back to the master bedroom, closed the door, and lay on the bed, unable to hold back tears of pain. This family had finally gone against his expectations. His wife, who had been honest and submissive and at his mercy, had become tough, and his son, who had been obedient and close to him, had completely changed. He couldn't figure out how it had turned out like this.

In the living room, Zhou Leng looked at Tao Yan who was cleaning up. He stood at the door of the master bedroom and said loudly, "Mom, is Dad angry? I didn't mean it. I will be more careful next time. But when I saw Dad hitting Mom, I couldn't help it. What should I do?"

Before Tao Yan could say anything, Liu Changli in the room closed his eyes in pain, covered his ears, and tears flowed even more violently.

Tao Yan cleaned up the messy living room and consoled her, "Dad won't blame you. Go do your homework. Mom will accompany you after she finishes cleaning up."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mom."

Tao Yan looked at the empty door of the second bedroom and the closed door of the master bedroom. She really didn't know whether she was more happy or more worried.
