Chapter 1188 How could you do that?
After watching the child cry for a while, Miao Yiqiu came over and said, "What's wrong? Is the child having a nightmare? Maybe we can tug on the ear and see if that calms the child down."
Xia Qiu didn't have much experience, so she did as her aunt said, but Junjun didn't listen at all and kept crying.
Both of them tensed up immediately.
Miao Yiqiu reached out and took the child's small hand, intending to check if he had a fever. However, she inadvertently noticed red marks on the child's arm. Out of curiosity, she pushed her sleeve up further and discovered several bruises on the child's arm.
Xia Qiu, who had been keeping an eye on her son, was startled by what she saw: "What's going on?"
After saying that, she didn't bother to comfort the child anymore and simply pushed up the sleeve of her other arm as well, so there was no visible bruise.
After hurriedly checking herself, she found several more spots on her side waist and calves. Even Xia Qiu, with her good temper, couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes immediately turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao-Chun-Xiao, how dare you?"
Miao Yiqiu hadn't expected Chunxiao to vent her frustration on the four-month-old baby. Her expression immediately turned cold: "Xiaqiu, calm the baby down first, I'm going to find Chunxiao."
She didn't want to get involved, but if Xia Qiu were to go to Chun Xiao right now, the two sisters would probably start fighting, especially since their mother was still in postpartum confinement.
Xia Qiu's face was extremely grim. She never expected that she, who was so dedicated to protecting her younger sister, would do such a thing. How could she bring herself to do it?
Miao Yiqiu went straight to Chunxiao's room after leaving the room.
The door was bolted from the inside: "Chunxiao, open the door."
Chunxiao knew she had done something stupid and was now a little scared: "Auntie, I'm not feeling well and want to sleep for a while."
Before Miao Yiqiu could say anything more, Xia Qiu had already arrived at the door.
Before Miao Yiqiu could react, Xia Qiu raised her hand and slammed her hand on Chunxiao's door: "Xiao Chunxiao, open the door."
Hearing Xia Qiu's angry voice, Chunxiao dared not speak further: "Big sister, I'm not feeling well, I want to lie down for a while."
Xia Qiu wasn't going to listen to her nonsense: "Xiao Chunxiao, stop making excuses and open the door right now."
Mr. Xiao had just gone to the restroom when he entered the yard and saw his eldest daughter standing angrily in front of his youngest daughter's door. Aunt Miao was also standing there. He walked over in a few steps and asked, "What's wrong now?"
Even if Xia Qiu had a good temper, her son was her bottom line: "Ask Chunxiao what she did?"
Only then did Mr. Xiao notice that his eldest daughter's eyes were red, as if she had been crying: "What happened?"
Xia Qiu heard her father's question: "Chunxiao secretly pinched Junjun, how could she do that?"
Mr. Xiao was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say? Chunxiao pinched Junjun?"
He was about to say 'How could that be?' but seeing his eldest daughter's reddened eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say it. He raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Chunxiao, open the door."
Even if Chunxiao was unwilling, she didn't dare to refuse this time.
The moment the door opened, before Xiao's father could even ask a question, Xia Qiu slapped Chunxiao across the face: "Xiao Chunxiao, that's your own nephew! He's only four months old! How could you do that? Huh? Tell me, how could you do that?"
Chunxiao knew she couldn't deny it and that she was in the wrong, so she simply lowered her head and said, "Then hit me, just to vent his anger."
This was an indirect admission. Xiao's father loudly questioned, "Did you really pinch Junjun?"
