July 15, 1970

Along the River Brigade,

Shu family.

“Bang—!”

The moment the pottery bowl fell to the ground, it made a sharp and piercing sound.

"father--!"

The woman's face was filled with anger, her whole body was shaking, and she screamed heartbreakingly: "Have you ever thought about how a woman like me can raise three children?!"

On the bed, the old man with a withered face had gray eyes and tears rolled down his face, which was as rough as old tree bark.

He stared at his granddaughter who was sitting obediently on the doorstep with a dazed expression, feeling extremely heartbroken.

Yes, if he passed away, would the eldest son and his mother and two children, who already disliked their granddaughter, really treat her well?

This is the second brother’s only bloodline!

But what can I do if I’m worried?

He knew his body was already beyond repair, and there was no need to struggle any further...

Among the few people, his foolish granddaughter was the one he was most worried about. When he passed away, the only person his granddaughter could rely on would be her mother...

He knew his second son's wife well. She was definitely not the kind of person who would ignore her children. She must have been tripped up by something!

He must not let the eldest brother's wife sell the jade pendant on impulse!

Otherwise, what will happen if the second son’s wife doesn’t recognize her granddaughter when she comes back?

"Ho~ho~" Old Man Shu covered his chest and gasped for breath. He stretched out his hand tremblingly and spoke with difficulty after a long while.

"Qiao, Qiao'er, Daddy can't take it anymore, please stop struggling, huh~"

"Our Shu family is not that kind of family that makes things difficult for others, uh~ you..."

"I have no objection to you remarrying, but, but this thing is a memory left to Miaomiao by her mother, I really can't sell it! You, just give it to me... Hehe~"

Li Qiao felt completely chilled by her father-in-law's words. She knew that her father-in-law was really in poor health.

She said this for the sake of her two children, mother and son, and she didn't want to be a burden to the family anymore. She couldn't hold back any longer and covered her face with her hands, crying loudly.

Oh my God!

What sins did I commit in my previous life?!

You torture me like this!!!

Old Man Shu's eyes were filled with sorrow and reluctance, but he didn't have the fear of death. With trembling lips, he struggled to open his mouth and ask for it again: "Give it... give it to me."

Hearing this, Li Qiao suddenly raised her head, not knowing what she was thinking about. She stared at him with her red eyes, muttering to herself absentmindedly,

"Why, why..." She suddenly couldn't see through him.

She had clearly sold everything she could at home to treat her father-in-law's illness and was even burdened with debt.

She was thinking about the jade pendant that her second son's wife left for her niece, but she just wanted to exchange it for money so that the nurse could use special injections and medicine on her father-in-law.

Why is my father-in-law so cruel?

For a dead object, she would rather wait for death, would rather the descendants of the Shu family remarry and change their surnames to follow her, and make plans for that little devil who brings bad luck to her family?

Even if her father-in-law cannot see her hard work and dedication to the family, he should still consider his two grandsons.

But at this time, not only did he not mention it at all, he was also only focused on planning for that unlucky star!

Don’t you know what kind of malice a family with only orphans and a widow will face?

Why!

Is it because she is not cruel enough? ! ! ?

The sadness she felt at that moment became concrete. Her face was grim and her emotions suddenly erupted. She covered her ears and said in a heart-wrenching rage, "Why—!"

Holding the warm jade pendant in her hand, her eyes were full of madness.

If you can’t spend it or use it, then what’s the point of keeping it!!!

Anger burned out her reason, she turned around and threw the jade pendant in her hand away.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, the small figure sitting on the doorstep slowly fell down.

Li Qiao lost control of her emotions and was speechless for a long time after being shocked by this scene, until her father-in-law's exclamation woke her up.

“Miaomiao——!”

She was shocked to realize that her hands and feet were shaking violently, and she hurried forward to pick up the person.

After a hurried inspection, they found that there was a cut on the back of the girl's head, and blood was slowly oozing out.

She was so frightened that she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"What, what happened?" Old Man Shu leaned forward anxiously and asked anxiously.

Li Qiao was sure that the girl had just fainted, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

Then I was surprised to find that my father-in-law could actually sit up!

She lowered her eyes and stared at the girl in her arms who was as light as a feather. Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that only she could arouse her father-in-law's desire to survive.

When she thought of the women in the brigade who were becoming increasingly demanding, she realized that the situation would only get worse once her father-in-law left!

In order to maintain relative peace in the future and to allow her eldest son to study with peace of mind, she had to do everything she could to keep her father-in-law for a few more years.

If she is given another three years, the family will be able to get through this!

Thinking of her eldest son, she couldn't help but feel a little hope in her heart.

Especially when she saw that the thrown jade was still intact after hitting the ground, she felt that God must not want to let her live too hard, so this time he finally stood on her side!

She quickly picked up the jade pendant and held it in her hand, and at the same time immediately picked up the child and placed him beside her father-in-law's bed.

"There's a big gash on her head, and it doesn't look good. I'll go find a nurse now. Dad, you have to wait, you really have to wait!" She spoke very quickly, her face anxious, creating a very critical posture, hoping to stimulate her father-in-law to hold on for a while longer.

Old Man Shu did not miss her action of picking up the jade pendant. He quickly realized that she was exaggerating her granddaughter's injuries. He raised his hand to grab her and told her to stop bothering him.

But Li Qiao quickly dodged and rushed out without looking back, with strong hope rekindled in her bright eyes.
