Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 360 Mom, I'm Sorry - My Parents-in-law Are Here

When Tao Yan brought her child home, what greeted the mother and child was steaming hot meals and the smiling faces of three people.

"Swallow is back, why didn't you stay at home for a while longer?"

Liu's mother was a person who didn't like to smile, and usually had a serious expression on her face, but at this moment, her expression was stiff.

"Dad, Mom, you are here."

"grandparents."

Mother Liu came over and held Zhou Leng's hand. The old couple came to their son's place every week, mainly to see their grandson. Today, the old couple came with a mission. Their son told her that Tao Yan wanted a divorce. Although she looked down on this daughter-in-law, if they divorced, the child would have a stepmother. For the sake of the child, she came here today and tried hard to force a smile.

"My dear grandson, are you hungry? Today, grandma made you the most delicious cola chicken wings and sweet and sour pork ribs. Go wash your hands and eat."

Zhou Leng let her take him to wash his hands.

The meal seemed to be a joyful one. Except for Tao Yan who had a blank expression on her face and Zhou Leng who was concentrating on eating, the other three members of the family were all smiling.

After they got married, the Liu couple and Tao Yan seemed to be very harmonious. After all, Tao Yan gave birth to a son in the second year after their marriage. For the sake of the child, the old couple never said harsh words to Tao Yan. However, it is impossible to say that they didn't know that their son beat his daughter-in-law.

After dinner, Liu's father went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Liu Changli sat on the sofa watching TV. Liu's mother took out a bag and came to the mother and son.

"Yan, I see you've been using that phone for years. This is the latest model this year. Mom saved up money to buy it for you. Give it a try."

"Thank you, Mom. I'll study it."

Tao Yan did not refuse. Now is the 5G era, but her mobile phone is still the outdated 3G, and the only commonly used functions are taking photos and recording videos.

Zhou Leng sat next to the target of the mission, looking at her no longer resolute face and fell into deep thought. She didn't know what choice Tao Yan would make after today, whether to continue living a compromising life or to rise up in resistance.

When Liu's mother saw her daughter-in-law pick up the phone, she looked at the other party's face and said:

"Yanzi, do you still remember the girl from the Chen family? She got divorced last month. She had nothing when she got married. All of it was the man's property after marriage. She didn't have a job and the children couldn't be awarded to her. She returned to her parents' home a few days later but was kicked out by her sister-in-law. Why did she do this? She couldn't live a good life."

Tao Yan replaced the SIM card into the new phone with an expressionless face.

Seeing that the other party was not interested, Liu's mother continued:

"It's all your father and I's fault that we are incompetent. You are still living in the old house. The housing prices are getting higher every year. This old house is better because the school district is good. When Zimo finishes school, we will sell this house and buy you a spacious new house."

Tao Yan looked up at her mother-in-law. She had said this many times, but she no longer took it seriously. She just didn't know which direction she would go this time by using the carrot of the house.

"This old house originally belonged to Chang Li's grandmother, and was later transferred to us. The house is in your father's name, so we have to sell it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be inconvenient when we are too old to walk."

Tao Yan is not a fool. What the other party said was that she would not have a good life after the divorce. Everything in the house was premarital property, and she would get nothing, including the child. Tao Yan felt that she was too impulsive before. Now she thought about how she could get custody of the child since she had no job.

"Mom, what you said makes sense. To be honest, I recently filed for divorce with Liu Changli, but those were all words spoken in anger. I can tolerate him hitting me, but I can't tolerate him hitting the child. The child is so young, what if he gets hurt? Don't you agree?"

When Liu's mother heard her daughter-in-law say this, she looked sideways at her son and said in a reproachful tone: "How could you hit the child, Yan? If you hit the child again next time, call us. Zimo is so well behaved."

Zhou Leng turned his head to look at the woman who was protecting him. The original grandmother was a good grandmother but not a good mother-in-law. She did not say a word about her son beating people.

"Mom, I want to reduce Chang Li's burden and go out to work. Can you and Dad help me pick up and drop off the kids?"

Mother Liu said with embarrassment:

"Yan, it's not that mom doesn't want to help you, it's just that mom and dad can't spare the time. Mom has to go dancing with your dad every morning and evening. Besides, the money Chang Li earns is enough to cover the expenses of your small family. It's not good for you to stay at home and take care of the children. What pressure does he have? Don't learn from those women outside. It's much better to stay at home to take care of your husband and children."

Before Tao Yan could say anything, Liu's mother shouted towards the kitchen: "Old Liu, have you finished cleaning up? After you're done, we still have to take the children to the nearby playground to play. Let the couple have a good chat at home."

Zhou Leng frowned slightly and said, "Grandma, I won't go. I want to play at home."

"Kid, don't you love going to the amusement park the most? You can play whatever you want today."

"No, I want to be home with my mom."

Mother Liu looked at Tao Yan and couldn't help but said sarcastically, "Zimo and mom are so close!"

Tao Yan took her son's hand and said, "Mom, I'm going to take the kids back to their room to read. I won't be with you guys anymore."

The mother and son went into the second bedroom.

After closing the door, Zhou Lengxian said, "Mom, I'll read a book for a while."

One of them was reading a book, while the other was sitting on the small bed thinking.

Tao Yan wanted to escape from this family, but she had no job, no money, and could not get custody after the divorce. She looked at her son who was reading books obediently and hesitated. On the way back from her mother's house today, the excitement in her mind and her confidence in the future seemed to be extinguished by reality. The helpless state made her constantly increase the upper limit of her tolerance for this family.

Zhou Leng didn't read the book carefully. In fact, she was thinking about how to eat more tomorrow. She wanted to improve her fighting power as soon as possible. The first step now was to protect Tao Yan.

In the living room, the mother and son stared at the door of the second bedroom and talked in a low voice.

"I don't think Tao Yan is really divorcing you. You see she came back today in such a depressed mood. That must be because her parents don't care about her. Think about it, she has no dowry and the Tao family kept all the betrothal gifts. It would be strange if they can care about her. Don't hit her all the time in the future. The child will have psychological trauma if they see it, which will affect the child's development. Besides, if she is injured, you will have to spend money to treat it. It would be better to coax her and let her do more work and take care of the family. You are just stupid. If she really divorces you, what will you do with the child? Find a stepmother for the child!"

Liu Changli listened to his mother's nagging, and finally he said sarcastically: "If she divorces me, I will let her get nothing. We spend all our money every month, and we have nothing after marriage. She dare not divorce, she can't bear to leave the child."

Mother Liu said with some pride: "My son is smart. There are many bad women nowadays. Let her stay at home to take care of you and the children. She won't have so many bad thoughts. Don't worry, your parents are saving money for you."

Liu Changli nodded with a smile.
