No matter how his wife Mrs. Liu called for him, he remained silent, even when his children cried out to him, he couldn't bring himself to show a pleasant face, and just sat alone in the house, quietly drinking his tea.
Mrs. Liu understood Feng Yongkang's temperament, knowing that it was best not to confront him when he was angry. With this in mind, she urged the children to mind their own business.
Things remained as they were until noon when Mrs. Liu asked him before cooking, "Are you going to eat here at home, or at the restaurant for lunch?"
This harmless question set off Feng Yongkang's simmering rage, directed at Mrs. Liu: "Are you blind? Can't you see me at home? If I'm not eating here, where would I be eating?"
Mrs. Liu, confused and berated, felt upset and wronged, but she didn't dare to retort loudly. She just mumbled softly, "Usually, at this time, if you are home, you go to the restaurant to eat..."
"That's normal, but today is different!"
