Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Tao Yan is cooking soup in the kitchen. Her life now is leisurely and rich. She goes to the vegetable market in the morning, dances in the square in the evening, and prepares three nutritious meals for her son during the day. If you ask her why she doesn't let her son eat in the cafeteria, she will tell you that she is afraid that the unclean food will affect her son's smart brain.

Half a year has passed, and Zhou Leng has participated in the project that Jin Cheng is in charge of. She quickly became a core staff member from the periphery, and her salary also increased. He, who only knew how to make money but not how to spend it, told Tao Yan that she didn't need to go out to work anymore, and her son could support her.

Tao Yan got divorced, found a job, and returned to her family. The only thing she lacked was a son who could earn money at a young age. However, because her child is still young, she plans to do some simple work when the child is older. She knows that people can never be out of touch with society.

Liu Changli hadn't seen his wife and children for half a year since the last time he met them. He missed his son a little, so he contacted Tao Yan and wanted to take his son to her home to live for a few days. After being rejected several times by the other party because the child was too busy, he finally exploded.

"What can a primary school student do? If he really has to, he can take a few days off. I have paid every cent of child support. You have no right to stop the child from seeing me!"

Tao Yan said helplessly: "I didn't stop him from seeing you. He was really busy. He was in college."

"what?"

Tao Yan just talked about the fact that her son was studying in the junior class and didn't say much else.

"My son is in the junior class! He is indeed a product of our Liu family. Isn't he a genius? Others work hard to get the college entrance examination, but he went directly to the junior class of Hua University! How come you didn't tell me such a big thing earlier? We have to do it and set up some tables."

"No, the professor said we have to keep a low profile. Whatever you do, I'll ask my son when he's free today. I'll make an appointment with you then."

"Why can't I see my son if you can? I'm going to see my son today too."

"talk later."

Liu Changli took a deep breath, and his tone became much calmer: "Let me take my parents to see the child today. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Besides, the child is going to college, so we also want to see the child and chat with him."

"Then I'll pick you up at noon when I go to deliver lunch to my son. He can only relax for a while during lunch. He's been busy with his schoolwork lately, so he lives in school. I'll message you later and we'll decide the place and time."

"Thank you."

"I'm hanging up. I'm busy."

Liu Changli looked at the hung up phone and shrugged helplessly.

***

The three members of the Liu family were waiting on the roadside. A car worth more than 200,000 yuan stopped in front of them. When the window rolled down, Tao Yan's face was visible.

"boarding."

The old couple of the Liu family looked at the beautifully dressed woman in surprise. She was wearing sunglasses and was well-dressed. She looked like an urban beauty, not at all like the woman who used to wear an apron and had greasy hair.

"Mom and Dad, get in the car."

The old couple sat in the back seat, and Liu Changli sat in the passenger seat.

The air conditioner is on in the car, and the comfortable environment and pleasant music make people relax.

Mother Liu couldn't help but blame her, "We didn't know anything about this child. I haven't seen my grandson for almost half a year. You didn't even discuss such a big thing as the child going to college with us."

Tao Yan looked at the rearview mirror. She found the other party's questioning tone irritating. She said in a bad tone:

"What do I have to discuss with you? I'm not your daughter-in-law now, so don't act like a mother-in-law to me all the time. You should talk to me properly. Let's go and see the child together, or we can get off at the roadside and take a taxi to find the child. I'm not saying that I don't want you to look after the child, but the child is busy, what can I do?"

Liu's mother's face turned from red to blue.

Father Liu patted his wife's hand and told her not to speak.

Liu Changli turned his head to look at his ex-wife, and changed the subject by asking, "When did you buy the car? You drive it well, too."

Tao Yan replied indifferently: "Yeah."

Obviously he didn't want to say more, so the car became quiet.

***

"Oh, grandma's dear grandson. I miss you so much."

When Liu's mother met Zhou Leng, she gave him an loving hug.

"Grandson, you've grown a lot in the past six months. You look almost as tall as your father now."

The dormitory that the school prepared for Zhou Leng was a standard single room, which was even more comfortable than many teachers' apartments. However, Tao Yan took the Liu family of three to a restaurant at the back door of the school.

"Well, I eat a lot, so I grow fast. Dad, grandpa and grandma, let's sit down and eat. I'm hungry too."

"Hey, sit down and eat. You must be exhausted from going to college at your age."

Liu Changli sat down next to his son. He reached out and patted his son's shoulder. Seeing that the other party was smiling and looked familiar, he said with concern.

"It's OK. I've been too busy lately, so I haven't met my grandparents. We'll get together more often after this busy period."

Seeing her grandson getting close to the three of them, Liu's mother couldn't help but say, "Grandma, you've lost a lot of weight. Your mom still didn't take good care of you. She..."

Liu's mother thought that Tao Yan must not have taken good care of her eldest grandson because she dressed herself up so beautifully and kept herself clean.

"Grandma, the reason why we can become a loving family now is because my mother doesn't hate you. She has never said anything bad about you in front of me. Instead, she asked me to respect you. She doesn't hate you because you are really good to me. We won't talk about the past anymore, but from now on, no one can say a bad word about my mother in front of me. Respect is mutual!"

Mother Liu's face turned ugly and embarrassed.

Zhou Leng continued, "I know everyone loves me. My grandparents and dad all love me very much. I will also give you the same love in return, but the premise of this is that you respect and love my mom. You are all my relatives, but she is my mom!"

Tao Yan tried hard to calm her inner turmoil. She slowly reached out her hand and tightly held her son's hand, which seemed a little tender but full of strength.

Tao Yan had long since given up on the attitudes and behaviors of the three Liu family members towards her. However, at this moment, when she saw her son defending her without hesitation, she still couldn't suppress the surging waves in her heart.

All the grievances, resentments and hatreds hidden deep in the heart found an outlet, just like the anger that had been held in for a whole decade could finally be let out with great pleasure, but this exhalation was so calm and silent, like an explosion in the universe, silent and intense, shattering and shocking.

For the first time, Liu's mother lowered her head in front of Tao Yan. She said softly, "Grandma, I know, Yan, you took good care of the child. I was wrong."

Liu Changli tried to smooth things over by saying, "Son, your grandma is doing this for your own good. We will all pay attention to you from now on. Your mom has worked hard to take care of you. Didn't you say you were hungry? Let's order some food."

Zhou Leng handed the menu to Liu's mother, who said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, order first."

The old couple took the menu, and Liu's mother also said with a smile on her face: "Then let's order first, you guys take a look at what you want to eat."

The family of five started their harmonious lunch, and Zhou Leng had already drunk the nourishing soup specially prepared by his mother.
