1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 919 Why are you seeing him? Haven't you made us suffer enough?

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

Hearing the sound, Miao Yiqiu looked up and saw Chunxiao walk in: "Chunxiao is here."

Grandpa Xiao put down his newspaper and looked back, asking, "You came alone?"

Chunxiao hummed in agreement: "My mom asked me to come and bring you some beef and mutton. Oh, and some lamb chops too?"

She put her things down, obediently sat on the sofa opposite, and looked at Miao Yiqiu, her stepmother: "Auntie, how is my aunt doing lately?"

Miao Yiqiu heard her ask, "You're feeling much better."

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

Grandpa Xiao looked at Chunxiao: "Why did you come alone today?"

Miao Yiqiu got up and brought over a few washed apples: "Chunxiao, have some apples."

Chunxiao reached out and took one, thanked him, and then replied to the young master: "My dad is at work, and my mom is heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to go out. My second sister went back to the village early this morning. I originally wanted to go with her to see my eldest sister, but I didn't expect her not to invite me."

Grandpa Xiao had been listening attentively, but after hearing the last sentence, he frowned: "You told her you were going back in one go, didn't she call you?"

Chunxiao wanted to agree, but then she thought that her second sister was also on leave these days, and that it would be New Year's Eve in a few days. She would have to go back to the compound to spend the New Year with her grandfather, and if her grandfather asked, she might give herself away: "I told my mother last night that my second sister had already left when I got up this morning."

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

Chunxiao didn't expect her grandfather to ask such detailed questions, but she didn't dare to lie: "My second sister went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia a few days ago. She brought some back with her. My mother asked me to send some over so you can try them. She also asked me to tell you that my second sister's in-laws have sent word that they will be discussing the wedding date at the state-run restaurant tonight."

Grandpa Xiao nodded slightly: "It's time to settle it. After the New Year, we can prepare the dowry. If we wait any longer, your mother won't have the time." Miao Yiqiu also chimed in with a smile: "That's true. The second son's wife's due date is at the end of May. If we wait any longer, she'll probably be too busy taking care of herself to help Chuxue."

Thinking of something, she looked at the old man and said, "Yu De, let Nian Chun help with the arrangements so that she can be distracted and not be stuck at home."

Old Master Xiao felt very sad thinking about how his daughter had lost two children because of the Xiao family: "You decide what to do."

Chunxiao saw her grandfather's face suddenly darken and felt a little scared: "I have an appointment with a classmate today, so I'll leave first."

Miao Yiqiu stood up, intending to ask her to take some things back with her, but saw that she had already run out: "Oh, I still have..."

Before she could finish speaking, the person had already disappeared. She lowered her raised hand again: "After all, she's still just an immature child."

At this moment, Grandpa Xiao also stood up, walked to the phone, and made a call: "How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "It's all taken care of. That family has done a lot of outrageous things, and their grandson even harmed a female student. They used money to cover it up, and this time it came in handy. The whole family went to the Northwest for reform through labor."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Xiao let out a heavy sigh: "I want to see Qi Xiaotian."

"He's being executed tomorrow. If you want to see him, I can arrange it for you right away."

"Okay, I'll be there at three o'clock this afternoon."

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