Chapter 117: What Is Going On

The Xiao family residence in Jing City.

Miao Yiqiu had been hesitating at the study door for quite a while; she knew she shouldn't disturb at this time, but something had happened to her daughter. Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door: "Xiao Yude."

Inside the study, Xiao Yude frowned slightly, his expression slightly displeased. He carefully put away the photo in his hand, then stood up to open the door: "What is it?"

Miao Yiqiu said with a face full of anxiety: "Xiaoduoer is in trouble."

Xiao Yude's brows knitted together: "What happened?"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. It was the child Yiming who called. He only said that Nianchun had a quarrel with her eldest brother's wife, and went out holding Xiaoduoer like she was crazy. She must have gone to the hospital."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Saying this, he headed downstairs.

Miao Yiqiu followed behind him, saying with a worried face: "Should we call Changjiang?"

Xiao Yude thought for a moment and agreed: "Alright, call Kunming too. That child is meticulous in handling things; with him there, we can save some worry if anything happens."

While Xiao Yude went to call a car, Miao Yiqiu had an extra thought and also called her eldest grandson, Xiao Wancheng: "Wancheng, your aunt is in trouble. Your grandfather and I are going over. If you are free, come over too."

Xiao Wancheng originally didn't want to deal with his younger aunt's matter, but upon hearing that his grandfather was also going: "Alright, I'll come over once I finish my work."

"By the way, if it's quick, don't rush to the Qiu family just yet. Your aunt should still be at the Workers' Hospital."

"Understood."

Thinking of the matter his grandfather had asked him to investigate, he sighed inwardly, quickly handled the things in his hand, and then stood up to walk out.

As soon as Xiao Wancheng rushed to the Workers' Hospital of the Rolling Mill, he heard his younger aunt's heart-wrenching cries: "Duoer, Mom's Duoer, don't scare Mom."

Afterwards, he heard his grandmother's tearful voice urging: "Nianchun, let go quickly."

Then he heard his grandfather shout: "Changjiang, what are you still staring at? Go help!"

Xiao Wancheng sensed the severity of the situation and ran quickly upstairs. He saw a group of people trying to snatch the swaddled infant from his younger aunt's hands. He stepped forward a few paces: "Grandfather, what is going on?"

Seeing his eldest grandson arrive, the old master of the Xiao family said: "Duoer is gone. Your younger aunt can't accept it and is clutching the child tightly, refusing to let go. Go calm her down."

Xiao Wancheng naturally understood his grandfather's meaning. He squeezed forward and delivered a chop to the back of his younger aunt's neck. Instantly, Xiao Nianchun's body went limp.

Xiao Changjiang also took the child from his sister's arms. Upon seeing the child's complexion, even a grown man's eyes turned red.

A few days ago, when the child was one month old, he had gone to visit. He never thought that so few days had passed, and now they were separated by life and death. He looked up and glared at his brother-in-law, whose eyes were bloodshot: "Qiu Jinzhou, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."

At this moment, Qiu Yiming squeezed in from behind the crowd: "Uncle, sister saw it. Eldest Aunt covered sister's face with a quilt."

Upon hearing this, everyone present erupted in an uproar: "Is that true?"

"That's too vicious?"

"What kind of deep grudge would make someone target a child who is only one month old?"

"Isn't the 'Eldest Aunt' mentioned by that child Wu Tianxiang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiu family?"

"Which Qiu family?"

"The one from the Third Workshop, Qiu Laoshi's family. Not long ago, his younger daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, and not long after that, his eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson. The two sisters-in-law giving birth probably hasn't even been a month apart."

"So what exactly is going on now?"

"Move aside quickly, the Security Department is here."
