Chapter 919: Why Do You Want to See Him? Haven't We Suffered Enough Because of Him?

Chunxiao brought some things to the large courtyard: "Grandpa, I've come to see you."

Miao Yiqiu heard the sound, looked up, and saw Chunxiao walk in: "Chunxiao has arrived."

Grandpa Xiao put down the newspaper in his hand at that moment and glanced back: "Did you come here alone?"

Chunxiao hummed: "Mom asked me to bring some beef and mutton for you. Oh, right, and some lamb chops?"

She put the things down, sat obediently on the sofa opposite, and looked at Miao Yiqiu, her step-grandmother: "Auntie Grandmother, how has my younger aunt been lately?"

Miao Yiqiu, hearing her ask this: "Her health is much better."

Chunxiao nodded: "That's good. I'll go see her when I have time later."

Grandpa Xiao looked at Chunxiao: "Why are you the only one here today?"

Miao Yiqiu got up, brought over several washed apples: "Chunxiao, have an apple."

Chunxiao reached out, took one, said thanks, and then answered Young Master Xiao: "Dad is at work, Mom is heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to go out, and my second sister went back to the village early this morning. I originally wanted to go see my eldest sister with her, but I didn't expect her not to ask me to come along."

Grandpa Xiao had been listening well, but upon hearing that last sentence, he couldn't help but frown: "You had agreed with her to walk back together, and she didn't call you?"

Chunxiao originally wanted to answer, but thinking that her second sister had also been on leave these past few days, and that New Year's Eve was in a few days, when she would have to return to the large courtyard to keep Grandpa company for the New Year, and that if Grandpa asked, it would be easy to slip up: "I told Mom last night, and when I got up this morning, my second sister had already left."

Grandpa Xiao looked at the bag she had brought: "Where did this beef, mutton, and lamb chops come from?"

Chunxiao didn't expect Grandpa to ask so carefully, but she dared not lie: "A few days ago, my second sister went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia. She brought them back. Mom asked me to bring some over for you to taste, and also asked me to tell you that my second sister's in-laws sent word that they will discuss the wedding date at the State-run Hotel tonight."

Grandpa Xiao nodded lightly: "It is time to settle it. After the New Year, we can prepare the dowry; any later and your mom won't have the spare time."

Miao Yiqiu also smiled and joined in: "Indeed. The second daughter-in-law's due date is at the end of May. Any later and she will likely be too busy for herself, let alone have the energy to help Liu Chuxue manage things."

Remembering something, she looked at Grandpa: "Xiao Yude, have Nianchun help organize things then. It will also help distract her, so she doesn't keep being unable to move on."

Grandpa Xiao thought of how his daughter had been implicated and lost two children because of the Xiao family; his heart was very heavy: "You handle it."

Chunxiao saw Grandpa's expression suddenly darken; she felt a bit frightened: "I also have an appointment with classmates today, so I'll leave first."

Miao Yiqiu stood up, wanting to tell her to take some things back, but saw the person had already run out: "Sigh, I still..."

Before she could finish speaking, the person was already gone. She lowered her raised hand: "After all, she is still a child who hasn't grown up."

Grandpa Xiao also stood up at that moment, walked to the telephone, and dialed a number: "How is the matter I asked you to handle going?"

The voice from the other end of the phone came: "It has been handled. That family had already committed many outrageous acts, and moreover, his grandson harmed a female student. They used money to suppress the matter. This time, it is just right to be put to use; the whole family has gone to the Northwest for re-education, all together."

Hearing these words, Grandpa Xiao exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air: "I want to see Qi Xiaotian."

"He is to be executed tomorrow. If you wish to see him, I will arrange it for you immediately."

"Good. I will come over at three this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Miao Yiqiu asked softly: "Why do you want to see him? Haven't we suffered enough because of him?"
