Chapter 107: Throwing the mop at Ah Zu's head

Looking at the uneasy A-Zu, Peter wanted to give this kid a good beating immediately.

But when he thought that this was not appropriate, he finally forced himself to suppress his anger and glared at the two of them.

"go home!"

Padraic Farm.

"Mr. Padraic?"

"Yes."

"I'm from the National Transportation Safety Board. My name is Terry George."

The white man in a suit shook Peter's hand and said, "I'm sorry this unfortunate thing happened."

Terry George glanced at the messy scene and said to Peter, "Can we talk alone?"

Peter spread his hands and said in a declining tone, "Mr. George, if you want to know the details of the plane crash, I'm sorry, I wasn't at the scene, so I can't provide you with the information you want to know."

After saying that, he looked through the big hole in the house at the messy living room.

There is no doubt that the living room was destroyed by Azu and Clark.

The walls of the barn were also damaged in several places, and the floor inside had several holes. This must have been the work of the three naughty kids.

He couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitching slightly. He suppressed his anger, took a deep breath and said to the other party:
"Mr. George, I care more about compensation than the details of the plane crash. Look at my living room. It looks like it was bombed. All the crops on the farm are destroyed. Is anyone from Boeing on the scene? I want to talk to them about the specific compensation."

Looking at Peter's serious expression, Terry George was stunned for a moment, nodded unnaturally and said: "Of course, Mr. Patrick, this is your right."

Star-Lord and Zu, who were standing nearby, were stunned when they saw how Peter unceremoniously attributed all the damages to the result of a plane crash and demanded compensation!
Is it still possible to operate like this?

night.

After a day, when the plane on the farm was towed away and the news media with their cameras finally left, the farm, which had been bustling all day, finally became quiet.

After simply tidying up the dilapidated living room, Peter sat on the battle-damaged sofa and looked at Zu and Star-Lord standing in front of him.

"John, you almost crashed a plane into a farm."

Peter looked at Zu unkindly, "Don't you have anything you want to say to me now?!"

A-Zu glanced at the equally nervous Star-Lord next to him, and apologized to Peter with stammering lips: "Dad, I'm sorry, I...I did that in a fit of rage. Clark's words angered me, and I didn't think about the consequences at all."

"You've always been eloquent, John. Why would you be irritated by Clark? Even if he was a different person at the time, you shouldn't have been so carried away by his words. That's not like you normally."

"Because... He said I was a kid who would never grow up."

A Zu raised his eyes and looked at Peter in frustration.

"Dad, am I a kid who never grows up?"

Looking into A-Zu's eyes, Peter's heart was suddenly touched.

After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked over to A-Zu and rubbed his head, "No, of course you will grow up. We all grow up, from immaturity to maturity."

"You know what? Our life has three stages: camel, lion, and baby."

Hearing this, A Zu asked him in confusion, "Father, is there any difference?"

"A camel is someone who obeys others, a passive state of carrying a heavy load, just like a person in society who always goes with the flow and cannot find his true self."

Peter said to him: "The lion wants to be in full control of his own life. The lion represents power, conquest and desire. It also represents the pursuit of freedom and getting rid of constraints."

"Clark said you can't grow up because he thinks you haven't found your true self yet. He thinks he has become a lion, so he ridicules you for being in the camel stage."

Peter paused for a moment and continued, "But in fact, Clark is also a camel. You all have extraordinary talents, which put you a long way from ordinary people."

"Unlike ordinary people, you were always seeking your own goals and your true self when you were children. This is a stage that you and Clark must go through, so you should not be laughed at, nor should you be afraid."

Hearing this, A-Zu seemed to understand something and nodded.

"I understand, Dad. I will definitely become a lion."

"Of course, Dad believes that you will grow up to be a lion, and I also believe that you will lead a different life."

Star-Lord, who was standing nearby, saw that Peter's anger seemed to have subsided, so he mustered up the courage to plead for Zu.

"Dad, John didn't mean to do that. He was trying to save me. If he hadn't stopped Clark, Clark would have burned down the farm and used up all of Dad's credit cards."

Peter's expression was relatively calm at first, but when he heard Star-Lord say that Clark had swiped his credit card, his mouth slightly opened and his expression suddenly changed.

"He swiped my credit card?!"

"Yes, it is."

Star-Lord said cautiously.

When Peter heard the news, his blood pressure rose and he felt extremely regretful.

I didn’t beat this kid lightly just now!

On the other side, A-Zu was stunned when he heard Star-Lord pleading with his father on his behalf.

He looked at the other person in disbelief, and could never have imagined that Star-Lord would plead for him.

How can this be?

I had threatened to beat him up before.

And this kid even used his father to threaten me.

It was surprising enough that he didn't complain to his father, and now he even pleaded for me?
With mixed emotions in his heart, A-Zu puffed up his cheeks and let out a breath.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that his younger brother was not so hateful after all.

Peter, who was in a bad mood because his credit card was swiped, looked helplessly at the two anxious children and said, "Okay, Daddy won't punish you too harshly this time, but you still made a mistake, so you have to do something to make up for your mistake."

Star-Lord asked nervously, "What do we need to do, Dad?"

"We'll know tomorrow." Just as he finished speaking, the template stuck to the side of the window suddenly fell onto the broken glass.

A-Zu and Star-Lord couldn't help but look at each other and lowered their heads even lower.

Peter: "..."

The next day, early in the morning.

Star-Lord was sitting on the bus, wearing headphones, looking at the non-mainstream kids sitting in the front row.

The non-mainstream kids' faces were expressionless, like metal.

Behind him, there's this goofy guy in a trucker hat with one side cocked.

This guy's head was bobbing up and down violently to the music, but no one could hear his music.

Opposite him was a fat old man with his gray hair squeezed under a shower cap, like a tabby cat trapped in a plastic bag, holding his cell phone and talking loudly about something.

Star-Lord turned his head and looked at A-Zu who was sitting next to him. The atmosphere between them was a little awkward.

"Ahem, so dad's punishment for us is to make us do volunteer work at the welfare home?"

Star-Lord took off his headphones and asked Clark.

"Yes, Dad asked Clark to come over and help him fix up the farm, and asked us to do volunteer work, saying that this is serving our sentence outside of prison."

A-Zu's impression of Star-Lord is not as bad as before, so he does not ignore him like before.

“But I don’t like that kind of place.”

As Zu gazed at the scenery outside the window, he said to Star-Lord, "With the faint smell of urine and bad smells, and the smell of deodorant sprayed to cover it, everything in the nursing home smells bad, and it's full of the smell of death."

"The smell of death?"

Star-Lord had no idea what this meant.

"Yes, dead and gray, just like little Terry's funeral."

Azu thought of the funeral of Louis's youngest son. "It seemed that the fate of the people there was coming to an end. The tickets had been checked, the alarms had been set, and then the god of death had dipped his finger in black ash to mark their foreheads. Even the blood of the lamb on the door could not avoid it."

(The blood of the lamb: The story of the Ten Commandments of Moses records that Moses asked the Jews to smear the blood of the lamb on their doors to prevent God from bringing disaster.)
Star-Lord seemed to understand what he said, but not quite.

While we were chatting, the car door opened with a click and the bus arrived at its destination.

The two quickly got off the bus and rushed to the welfare home.

Since Peter had contacted the director in advance, the two of them were quickly assigned work by the director after entering the welfare home.

Star-Lord smelled the special smell of the orphanage and looked around.

There weren't many elderly people in the Smallwell Social Welfare Home, but one old man was sitting in a fluffy blue recliner, solemnly continuing to devour his cereal - fruity Cheerios or some cheap imitation.

Water stains on the ceiling, paintings hanging crookedly.

In the corner was an old television, with a smaller flat-screen sitting on a discarded box above it.

Star-Lord let out a bored breath and began to clean the floor.

A-Zu was outside taking care of the hospital garden.

After being busy for a while, Star-Lord felt a little tired.

His obese body causes him to easily become fatigued once he does physical labor.

"John, can I ask you a question?"

Star-Lord walked to the garden with tools and asked A-Zu who was watering the plants.

"what?"

“Aunt Kelly, is this really my mother?”

A Zu was a little surprised to hear the question asked by Star-Lord.

"Yes, Star-Lord, your mother is Ms. Kelly, and it was your father who picked you up together."

A'Zu's eyebrows moved, and he said seriously: "You have the same talent, this should be the best proof."

When Star-Lord heard A-Zu say that he was picked up, his mood suddenly turned bad.

"But Aunt Kelly said no, she said she was never married."

"Who knows? Haven't you heard a saying? Don't trust everything a woman says."

A-Zu put down the tools in his hand and said, "Compared to that, you look nothing like your father. Isn't this the best proof?"

"You're saying I don't look like my dad?"

When Star-Lord heard Zu say that he was not like Peter, his brows immediately furrowed.

The hand holding the mop gradually tightened, "You are wrong, I am as smart as my father, and we like the same music."

"you are smart?"

As if A-Zu had heard something funny, "You're not smart, you're just precocious."

Hearing what Zu said, Star-Lord was ready to raise the mop and hit the guy on the head.

However, before he could throw the mop on A-Zu's head, a scream suddenly came from the welfare home.

After hearing the sound, Star-Lord put down the mop, and A-Zu also turned his head and looked curiously in the direction of the scream.

Inside the room where the screams came from, everyone in the welfare home was stunned as they looked at a dead body lying on the bed.

Some people with poor psychological endurance even vomited it out directly.
