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

Chapter 822 The people behind those individuals are likely targeting the Xiao family.
When Chu Xue brought her grandfather home, Xiao Changsheng had just arrived home as well.

Before Zhao Lamei could even mention her sister-in-law's situation, she saw her daughter bring her father-in-law into the courtyard: "Chuxue, how is your sister-in-law?"

After asking the question, he called out, "Dad."

Xiao Changsheng looked bewildered: "What happened to Nianchun?"

Although he hadn't spent much time with his half-sister, she was very friendly to him when he returned to Beijing to meet her family, and he knew she was pregnant.

Chu Xue first helped her grandfather into the main room: "Mom, is there any food left at home?"

Zhao Lamei quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, I'll go and serve it to you right away."

Seeing that her father-in-law's expression wasn't good, she didn't dare to ask her sister-in-law directly about her situation.

Chu Xue poured a glass of water for the old man first: "Grandpa, have some water first, I'll go to the kitchen to help."

Grandpa Xiao nodded slightly without saying a word.

As soon as Chu Xue went outside, Xiao Changsheng sat down next to his father: "Dad, what's wrong with Nianchun?"

Grandpa Xiao thought about how his daughter had lost two children within a year, and how his granddaughter had died before. It was this unexpected child that brought his daughter back to life, but now this accident had happened. He was terrified that something bad might happen to his daughter.

Thinking about what he had found out, he was filled with resentment.

Before the old man could speak, Chu Xue brought in the food: "Dad, let Grandpa calm down, we'll talk about Aunt's matter later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changsheng immediately understood that something bad must have happened.

He stood up and said, "Is there anything else? I'll go help too." As soon as he followed Chu Xue out of the main room, he asked in a low voice, "What happened to your aunt?"

Chu Xue went into the kitchen and took the two steamed buns that her mother handed her: "My aunt had a miscarriage, and it was done on purpose. My grandfather found some clues and he's not in a good mood. Let him eat something to calm down first."

Both of them felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this.

Chu Xue didn't want to say anything, but thinking that her aunt's accident was caused by someone, she said: "Mom, try not to go out in the future and stay in the yard as much as possible. We can bring back groceries on our way home from get off work."

Zhao Lamei didn't think anyone would harm her, and she was quite pleased with her daughter's concern for her: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ever since his eldest son told him some things, he has felt very guilty. The people behind those people were probably targeting the Xiao family, and Nianchun became their target.

Grandpa Xiao ate the meal without any appetite. If he hadn't been afraid of his daughter-in-law misunderstanding, he probably wouldn't have even touched his chopsticks.

After the meal, the old man sent his son and daughter-in-law away and asked Chuxue to sit next to him: "Chuxue, I know what you said to your uncle before."

After a long pause, he continued, "Our family did have a jade pendant that had been passed down through generations, but I gave it to your grandmother back then. If those people really came for that jade pendant..."

He couldn't continue speaking. If he really came for the jade pendant, then wouldn't Chunyi have been indirectly harmed by him, and his daughter's suffering also stemmed from it? This was something he couldn't accept.

To be honest, if it weren't for this incident, he would have almost forgotten about the jade pendant. After all, it was inconspicuous. Although his ancestors had passed down that the jade pendant was no ordinary item, no one had discovered anything special about it after so many generations.

Chu Xue was surprised to find that he had guessed correctly. It really was the opportunity she had obtained in the cave. It seemed that fate was truly on her side, and that opportunity was meant to be hers.

But she also had a question in her mind: if someone else had this opportunity, she wondered if they would be able to open that space?
