Chapter 759: She Even Wants to Go to Heaven; Can You Make That Happen?

~4 min read 746 words

When Chunxiao returned and heard about this matter, she paced excitedly around the room: "Dad, does this mean we can go live in the city?"

Chuxue had expected Chunxiao's reaction.

Hearing this, Father Liu's face immediately darkened: "Even if it's true, it changes nothing. I'm at this age; what could I do even if I went back?"

Seeing Father Liu's reaction, Chuxue felt a wave of relief in her heart; after all, he hadn't been swept off his feet by this sudden surprise.

Mother Liu spoke up then: "Yes, even if they are truly your father's relatives, at most it just adds another branch of relatives. Do you really expect us to go live in the city with them?"

Chunxiao refuted: "Why not? Let them find my father a job in the city, and then we can all enter the city!"

Seeing his little daughter's reaction, Father Liu felt a headache for a moment: "I barely know a few characters; what could I do in the city?

Just stop causing trouble here."

Since they could finally live in the city, how could Chunxiao give up? She was just about to persuade them again.

But she heard Father Liu say: "Enough, this is my lord's business; you should mind your own business."

Chunxiao turned and looked at Chuxue, who had been silent: "Second Sister, hurry and persuade Dad!"

Chuxue handed a cup of warm water to Mother Liu and said calmly: "We haven't even seen them yet; it's too early to talk about this. Besides, I respect Dad's choice."

Chunxiao was furious: "You, how can you be so selfish? Why can't you consider me?"

The few people sitting there didn't expect Chunxiao to say such a thing; they all frowned at her.

She heard her say: "Why are you all looking at me like that? Ask anyone in this village if they don't want to enter the city; am I wrong?"

Seeing everyone stay silent, she turned directly to look at Chuxue: "Second Sister, you found a job and entered the city too; you should understand me, right?"

Chuxue's face turned cold: "I entered the city through my own efforts; I didn't think about relying on anyone."

Chunxiao saw she wasn't following her lead: "Regardless, is it wrong for me to want to enter the city and live a good life?"

Chuxue looked at her with cold eyes: "You only know they can give you the life you want?"

Chunxiao got fired up: "They lost our father; shouldn't they compensate us?"

"You also said they lost our father, not you."

Chunxiao stamped her feet in anger: "Second Sister, you just have to oppose me; you can't see me do well, can you?"

Chuxue was truly too lazy to deal with her: "They will come tomorrow to acknowledge the kinship; you'd better not cause trouble, or don't blame me for stepping in to discipline you. I mean what I say."

This person had dug herself into a corner; if she didn't issue a harsh warning, who knew what embarrassing thing she would do tomorrow.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. After Father Liu and Mother Liu returned to their room: "Husband, do you think they will ask to take you back to the city tomorrow?"

"We haven't even seen them yet; who knows what they are thinking? Even if they want to take me away, I can't bear to leave this new house of mine. Now that our little life is getting better and better, I don't want to live under someone else's roof, watching their expressions to survive."

"But Chunxiao today..."

"She even wants to go to heaven; can you make that happen?"

Seeing Father Liu was angry, Mother Liu stopped speaking; perhaps due to her pregnancy making her naturally sleepy, she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Father Liu, however, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so he got up and went to the courtyard, smoking dried tobacco one after another.

Thinking of the injustices he had suffered from childhood to adulthood, his heart was a mix of many flavors.

Meanwhile, in the Xiao family compound in the capital city, Old Master Xiao was also sitting in the study late at night, holding that photo with frayed edges, gazing at it for a long time: "Chunyi, after waiting so many years, I have finally found the second one, but I don't know if he can forgive me for finding him after so much time."
