Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 362 Mom, I'm Sorry—Call from Tao Jun

The door of the master bedroom suddenly opened.

Liu Changli walked up to Tao Yan with a serious face. He began to eat the leftovers mixed with dirt on the ground with tears in his eyes. Home was his most "warm harbor" and he could not lose his dominant position at home.

Tao Yan was stunned and speechless, and finally considerately handed over chopsticks and napkins.

after an hour.

"Liu Changli, why don't you try this?"

Tao Yan took the broken piece of baton and presented it to her husband.

Liu Changli's face flushed as he used all his strength, but the baton did not move at all. He leaned back on the sofa in disappointment. He thought that since he and his son were related by blood, and if his son had super powers, he would be able to get them too.

The next morning.

Zhou Leng looked at Liu Changli, who had the same posture, sitting position, and even the same appetite as him, and fell into deep thought. Is this guy crazy?

"Son, how about it, do you feel a warm current rising from your body now?"

Zhou Leng shook his head expressionlessly.

Liu Changli clenched his fists in disappointment.

evening.

"Wife, take a rest. I will help my son with his homework today."

Tao Yan picked up her phone. She had been a little nervous recently, afraid that her son's superpowers would be exposed. Although the couple had agreed to keep their son's affairs a secret, Liu Changli's behavior made Tao Yan despise him.

Liu Changli approached his son with a disposable needle in his hand. He thought that if he could take some of his son's blood and drink it, he might be able to stimulate his body's superpowers.

"Dad, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"

Liu Changli smiled awkwardly. He said lovingly and gently, "Son, I'll just draw a little blood. If Dad awakens his superpowers, we can save the world together."

"Dad, I want to eat roasted lamb leg tomorrow to replenish my body, okay?"

Liu Changli smiled and nodded.

Zhou Leng looked at the person whose hands were shaking and who was afraid to draw blood from her. She took the needle and inserted it into the vein in her arm. Then she pressed the needle hole with the Band-Aid prepared by Liu Changli and whispered:

"Dad, I think this is enough. Don't worry, it will definitely work this time. Then we can wear our red shorts outside and go out to save the world."

Liu Changli nodded seriously.

After this failure, Liu Changli watched a man eat half a roasted lamb leg while he was so full that he couldn't move. He finally realized the reality that he had no chance of having superpowers. After he gave up his obsession with superpowers, he began to feel annoyed because his son was at home and he had no place to vent his anger.

Tao Yan's life changed completely. In just over two months, her son became bright and sensible, paid attention to her feelings, helped her with housework, and even gained superpowers because he was bullied. Her world was finally filled with hope and sunshine. The fatigue and pain she had experienced seemed to have passed a long time ago, so long that she almost forgot what her son's personality was like before.

Suffering will become blurred as time goes by. When you think about it long after, you will only feel that it was very difficult and painful at the time, but you will forget the extent of the pain and the despair at that time.

The three members of the Liu family began their peaceful life.

Tao Yan continued to be a full-time mother. With her son to share the burden, she had more free time, so she signed up for a postpartum nanny training course. It was not easy for a mother without any work experience to re-enter the workplace, so she could only play to her strengths. She was not afraid of hardship, but she was afraid of not being able to make money.

Liu Changli was very dissatisfied with the changes in his family, so he became a hard-working man outside, going out early and coming back late every day, and seldom communicating with the mother and son. The sense of superiority and violence that he used to find in front of Tao Yan disappeared, and now home is just a place to sleep for him.

***

Tao Yan was accompanying her child when the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, she frowned slightly.

"Hey, what's up?"

There was a chaotic sound on the phone, and Tao Jun's slurred voice came out:

"Sister, tell me if you are considerate enough. Yesterday was Mai Mai's birthday, but you didn't even give her a red envelope or call her. Look at the relatives over there, they bought her gifts and gave her money, but you didn't show any appreciation at all."

"I forgot."

"What do you mean by forgot? You are so heartless that you even forgot your niece's birthday."

Tao Yan knew he was drunk from the sound of his voice. She didn't want to waste time talking to him, so she just said "forget it" perfunctorily. When she heard her brother say this, she got up in anger and walked to the living room, unable to control her voice and shouted:

"How dare you tell me you don't care? Have you ever bought anything for Zimo since he was a child? Not to mention his birthday, you never gave him a red envelope even during the Chinese New Year."

"You're arguing with me, aren't you my sister?"

"I'm your sister, so why shouldn't I care? It's their business that your parents are partial to you. They earn their own money, so they can spend it on whoever they want. But you're taking advantage of us in our social interactions, and you're saying I'm heartless. Don't you know what kind of life I live? I don't have any income, and this family depends on your brother-in-law to make some money. I'm having a hard time myself, and you never help me. And now you're accusing me of not celebrating your child's birthday. Have you ever celebrated my child's birthday?"

"Sister, it's meaningless if you say that."

"Then why do I say it's interesting? Last year you asked Zimo to keep you for New Year's greetings and tricked the children into kowtowing to you, but in the end you didn't give me a penny. Because of this, I can't even hold my head up in my husband's family. I thought we were all family, so I didn't bother with you. I knew you were pushing it."

Tao Yan hung up the phone after she finished speaking, holding the phone tightly and breathing heavily. In the past, she always felt that her parents and brother were her support, so she was more tolerant. After the divorce, she saw through them. Now, although her son is still young, he has replaced those three people as her support, so her tolerance for her brother has also decreased a lot.

"Mom, don't be sad, you still have me."

Tao Yan looked back at her son who was sticking his head out of the door and smiled.

"I don't care now. With you, I have the whole world. I will become very powerful."

Zhou Leng's soul suddenly began to heat up. It was self-blame, regret, and the happiness of seeing his mother's smile now.

Liu Zimo saw a brightness that he had never seen before through Zhou Leng's eyes. His mother was standing under the light, radiating warmth. Her eyes were no longer filled with tears, and the look she gave him was no longer filled with panic.

Zhou Leng raised his arms and made a heart shape with his hands. He said seriously, "Mom, Liu Zimo loves you very much. I was wrong before. Let's live a good life from now on."

"Mom never blamed you. I just hated myself for not being strong enough. It's all in the past."

Zhou Leng rushed over and hugged the woman. Maybe it was just like what she said, she never blamed her son even if he committed suicide. She just hated herself.

At this moment, the mother and son hugged each other, and the picture was warm.
