Chapter 341 Take a look
Xiao Zhao looked at the green lawn from afar, his eyes fixed on the three little guys crawling slowly on it.
He hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and walked towards the children.
When he got closer, Xiao Zhao's face was filled with guilt. He looked at Grandpa Li and Grandma Li cautiously and asked softly, "Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, can I...can I take a look at these children?"
After saying this, he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, his heart full of regret and self-blame.
Back then, he should have been one of the closest relatives to these children, their uncle! However, now his sister Xiao Miaomiao refused to acknowledge him as her brother, and even didn't want to see him.
As a result, he had never held these three lovely children in his arms. Whenever Xiao Zhao thought of this, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a needle and was in unbearable pain.
Grandma Li looked up at Xiao Zhao, who was obviously much thinner, and her heart softened.
She knew Xiao Zhao's inner torment at the moment, but she was also concerned about Xiao Miaomiao's attitude. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Okay, you can watch. It's just that these children are a little shy, so you can just watch from here."
In fact, Grandma Li knew it very well in her mind, but it was inconvenient for her to ask Xiao Zhao to go forward and hug the child.
You know, even when Miaomiao's biological father came to visit, Miaomiao was determined not to let him get close to the child.
Alas, if the Xiao family had treated Miaomiao well at the beginning, perhaps things would not have developed to the point they are today.
Hearing Grandma Li's agreement, Xiao Zhao nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just take a look and will not disturb the children."
How could he not see that Grandpa Li and Grandma Li were afraid of him? They were simply worried that he would make the children cry and get upset, and they were even more afraid that his appearance would destroy the current peace and hurt the children.
But even so, as long as he could take a look at the innocent faces of the children, even if he was just watching from a distance, it would be a great comfort to him.
Xiao Zhao knew very well that the reason he could still see these three children appear in front of him was simply because they felt pity and pity for him.
If Miaomiao were here, she would probably take the children and leave without hesitation, without any reluctance at all.
At this time, Grandma Zheng's eyes fell on Xiao Zhao who was not far away, and then she turned to look at Grandma Li beside her, lowering her voice and asking, "That's Miaomiao's biological brother, right?"
Grandma Li nodded slightly, indicating her agreement, "Yes, it is him."
Then, she couldn't help but sigh and continued, "It's just that Miaomiao and he have long cut off contact."
When she thought of Xiao Zhao's miserable and pitiful appearance, although Grandma Li felt a little sympathy, she was more indignant about the unfair treatment Miaomiao had suffered.
Xiao Zhao is pitiful, but isn't Miaomiao in their family pitiful? They are both sensible and reasonable, but it was Xiao Zhao's father who made the real mistake. However, Xiao Zhao did not blame the culprit, but instead pushed all the faults onto Miaomiao, who was still young and ignorant at the time and knew nothing.
In the eyes of the Li family, this behavior is simply a manifestation of cowardice and incompetence!
"Miaomiao is the only child in the Xiao family who is as kind-hearted as her mother. As for the others... well, let's not talk about them."
As Grandma Li spoke, she shook her head helplessly, her eyes full of disappointment.
"Now I remember that a few years ago, I saw it seemed that they were sending their illegitimate daughter to school. It was in front of the Xiao family's door. Brother Miaomiao was protecting the illegitimate daughter and getting into the car. Miaomiao seemed to be about to open the door and get in, but he pushed her down, and Miaomiao's two little hands were scratched."
The person who spoke was Grandma Jiang, who lived near the Li family, and happened to live opposite the Xiao family.
"I've seen it several times before. During mealtime, their family chased Xiao Miaomiao out, and only let the servants open the door after dinner to let your Miaomiao in to eat."
"By the way, this Xiao Zhao is even more cruel. I heard my little grandson say that he took a bowl of rice and poured it into the dog bowl of his stepsister's dog, and then pulled Miaomiao to eat it, saying that it was what she deserved to eat." Grandma Jiang said in a voice neither loud nor soft.
Not to mention how Grandma Li and the others reacted after hearing this, even Xiao Zhao, who was not far away, heard all these words and could not help but lower his head in shame.
If Grandma Jiang hadn't mentioned it this way today, he would have chosen to forget the past intentionally or unintentionally.
Those grandparents who got along well with Miaomiao were also filled with sympathy after hearing about the misfortunes that Xiao Miaomiao had suffered.
One of the grandfathers said indignantly: "Except for Miaomiao and her mother, can the other people in the Xiao family be considered human beings? They are absolutely heartless!"
Another grandmother also echoed, "That's right. As the saying goes, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. This is absolutely true."
Then another grandfather sighed and said with deep emotion: "But think about it carefully, if Miaomiao had not returned to the Xiao family, she might not have been bullied so wantonly by them."
"After all, Miaomiao has achieved what she has today all for the sake of helping her so-called brother. But who could have expected that she wholeheartedly regarded him as a relative, while her brother turned out to be an ungrateful bastard who took a thief as his father!"
At this point, Grandma Zheng was so angry that she trembled all over, and cursed with anger on her face: "Such a heartless guy should be punished!"
"Now it's retribution. I heard that the company is gone. My granddaughter said that step-sister, it was all in the news. She actually had the nerve to say that Mr. Jiang, Miaomiao's cousin, was her cousin. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless person."
"It was the mother and daughter who forced Miaomiao's mother to death. Only Xiao Zhao is still close to them. If this was my son, I would be so angry that I would curse them before I die." Grandma Zheng was a little gossipy, but her values were still very positive. She really disdained Xiao Zhao's behavior.
"Xiao Zhao, when Miaomiao came back, you were already in college and were about to graduate. How could you be so confused? Putting aside other things, she was born by your mother. She is your biological sister. How could you treat her like that?" Grandma Zheng looked at him and shook her head.
"Now Miaomiao doesn't recognize you, you can't blame her, after all, what you did was too cruel and hurtful. Miaomiao is living a good life now. It should be said that Miaomiao has always been a good person. As long as she has nothing to do with your Xiao family, all the grievances and injuries she has suffered were caused by your Xiao family, or you."
"She doesn't care about anyone else, but you, her biological brother, she cares about you. She doesn't want to see you anymore. What you did hurt her so much. If you still have a conscience, stay away from Miaomiao."
She wasn't that angry when other people in the Xiao family bullied Xiao Miaomiao, but it was her biological brother Xiao Zhao who hurt her the most.
Xiao Zhao was in tears as he heard the pointing and talking of people around him. Thinking of the hurt he had done to Xiao Miaomiao, he realized that Jiang Lin and the others were right. It would be best for Miaomiao if he didn't show up.
His appearance only reminded Miaomiao of the humiliation and hurt she had suffered.
Xiao Zhao's legs were suddenly pulled. Xiao Zhao looked down at the chubby Xiaobao, who was wearing a pink dress and looked very funny like Miaomiao when she was a child.
Seeing her smile, Xiao Zhao couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears with his hands covering his face.
Before he grabbed Miaomiao's neck, she smiled like this, so brightly, but why did he do that? She was such a cute child, how could he have the heart to do that to her?
When Grandma Li saw Xiaobao approaching Xiao Zhao, she walked over and took Xiaobao to the other side to play.
"Xiaobao, let's go play with your two brothers." Grandma Li looked at the crying Xiao Zhao, and now she couldn't feel any sympathy.
Since he treated Miaomiao so well in the past, he shouldn't have expected Miaomiao to forgive him one day.
"My grandson and Miaomiao will be here soon, so you'd better leave here quickly." Grandma Li said and left with Xiaobao in her arms.
Grandpa Li also asked Dabao and Erbao to crawl to the other side, away from Xiao Zhao.
Such a bad person can't get close to him.
"Mr. Li, your Miao Miao has suffered a lot during those years in the Xiao family! We all saw it. That child is really kind-hearted, well-behaved and sensible. She is definitely a good child."
"So, you have to treat her well! Besides, your Li family has always been a single-line family with very few descendants."
"Now Miaomiao has worked hard to give birth to three precious great-grandchildren for you. This is a great contribution! You should ask Jingcheng to take care of Miaomiao more and not treat her badly." Grandpa Li advised earnestly while helping to look after Grandpa Li's two little grandsons.
Grandpa Li glanced at him unhappily and raised his voice to reply, "Do you really need to remind me of this? My husband and I have always treated Miaomiao as our own granddaughter. Even my grandson Jingcheng has to step back sometimes!"
Then, as if Grandpa Li had thought of something, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and he continued, "The Xiao family didn't recognize the value of a valuable girl at the beginning, and didn't know how to cherish such a good girl. Now they must be regretting it!"
"But it doesn't matter. Miaomiao is the lucky star of our Li family. She is born to be a member of our Li family. Our whole family will protect her and will never let her suffer any grievances again!" At the end, Grandpa Li promised firmly.
In fact, they had already warned Li Jingcheng that if he dared to do anything to let Miaomiao down, they would rather abandon Li Jingcheng as their grandson than abandon Miaomiao as their good daughter-in-law.
