After being wrongly married, I stabbed my husband to death and became famous throughout the world.

Li Shu's smile widened as he pointed the burning end at Li Man's hair and pressed it down.

Then, he stuffed the firewood into Li Man's hands.

Li Man subconsciously threw the "murder weapon" on the ground.

The scorched hair emitted an unpleasant odor. A large chunk of the jet-black hair had been burned off, leaving behind strands that resembled writhing earthworms, rough and struggling.

Li Shu let go of her hand, letting Li Aman cover her head and run out in a panic.

She spat, sounding like an unreasonable and immoral scoundrel, a hint of satisfaction in her smile.

Afterwards, Li Shu put the remaining uneaten food into his spatial storage, moved some firewood around, stuffed something under the stove, and tidied himself up.

Then, she sat down at the kitchen doorway, waiting for the storm to come.

Zhou returned in a huff after failing to find the newly bought pork.

When he returned home and saw his daughter's disheveled hair, his anger reached its peak: "She's your sister! How could you be so cruel to her! I'll let everyone judge for themselves and see what kind of vicious heart you have as a murderer!"

Zhou originally intended to wait for her husband and son to return before making a decision for her daughter, but at this moment, seeing her daughter's pitiful state, she was heartbroken!

Now that she is in the right, no matter how pitiful Ali is for marrying the wrong person, it is not a reason for her to bully Aman!

Zhou was quick; she dragged her daughter to the door and then burst into tears.

At this time, when everyone was digesting their food after dinner, they all had nothing to do. Upon hearing the commotion, they immediately went out, only to be shocked to see that Li Man's hair had been burned bald.

Your skin and hair is from your parents.

It's truly terrifying to see it turned out like this.

Moreover, Aman is a girl, thirteen or fourteen years old, not young anymore. In two more years, she will be able to get married. Yet, a patch of her head has been burned bald, and who knows how long it will take for it to grow back. How can this not be heartbreaking!

"What sins have I committed! My children are growing up and need to develop their health. I squeezed out some money from my meager savings to buy some meat. I was afraid that stray cats and dogs would steal it, so I locked the door. When Ah Li came home and saw the lock, she thought I was targeting her and actually forced it open!"

"It's not that she can't eat the meat, it's just that she can't bear to waste it! She was resentful, so she threw all the meat out the window! I've looked everywhere for it, but I can't find it!"

"That's fine! But look at Aman's hair—"

"I don't know what Ah Man could have done wrong at such a young age to make her so angry and want to take revenge like this!" Zhou cried sincerely. When had she ever suffered such an injustice? At this moment, her disgust for Li Shu reached its peak!

“Ah Li! If Ah Man is wrong, why can’t you, as the eldest sister, teach her properly! You’re too cruel!” Zhou shouted, leading everyone into the courtyard and pointing at Li Shu.

Li Shu sat there quietly, showing neither arrogance nor sadness.

Calm as a piece of wood.

Soon, the elder of the group stepped forward, frowning as he looked at Li Shu: "Li, you were disobedient when you were young. Today you would steal your sister's snacks, tomorrow you would ruin your sister's clothes. Your mother has taught you many times, but you never changed. Now that you're older, you've caused a murder case. Because you were also a victim, you were able to get out of prison. Now that you're out, why can't you live a good life? Do you want to be like a bandit, hated by everyone?"

“Yeah, with her hair ruined like this, she’ll probably have to have it all ripped out. How could you be so heartless!” someone immediately chimed in.

"..."

The Li family also has relatives and friends. Although it is not a large and prosperous clan, the relatives of several families can be gathered together to form a hundred people.

There are many surnames here, but they don't follow the clan system. Relatives only visit each other, so there aren't many complicated rules. There aren't many people with the surname Li in this alley.

"Did you see me stealing my sister's snacks?" Li Shu asked calmly. "Did any of you see me ruin her clothes, or even hit or scold her?"

Everyone was stunned.

Ali used to never argue, but now she has spoken up.

“Everything should be based on evidence, not just their words.” Li Shu said calmly, “When Aman was seven years old, she accidentally caused her younger brother to fall. She framed me in the same way. When the story reached your ears, it became that I couldn’t tolerate my younger siblings and secretly took drastic measures. But may I ask, do I, someone who lives under the care of a stepmother, have the guts to do that?”

“Of course, compared to Zhou Shi, you will naturally side with her, the adult. As for the grievances of me, a child, you just pretend not to see them. So since you say that I ruined her hair, I have no way to refute it.” Li Shu seemed to have seen through it all.

"It was clearly you! You...you're lying!?" Li Aman was stunned.

How could she lie to someone!

"Then tell me, how did I ruin your hair?" Li Shu asked.

"A kitchen knife! You held a kitchen knife to my neck first!" Li Aman said hurriedly, "Then you pulled my hair and burned my head with charcoal!"

"It sounds like I have three hands," Li Shu said with a sarcastic smile.

"..." Li Aman was also stunned for a moment.

She remembers correctly, right? She took the knife first...

No... if he had a knife, how did he get the charcoal?

"So you put down the knife and went to get the charcoal... In short, you ruined my hair ornament and then made my hair look like this..." Li Man said angrily.

Li Shu slowly got up, coughed lightly, and then quietly let everyone into the kitchen to take a look.

"Alright, where's the kitchen knife?" Li Shu looked at her quietly. "You were just being playful and seemed to be trying to hide something in the kitchen. When I found it, you were so flustered that the burning charcoal flew out and landed on your head, ruining your hair. And now you're blaming me?"

“Zhou, you say I unlocked the door and threw away the meat? Then let me ask you, how many pounds of meat did you buy today?”

"Five catties!" It was a bit hot during the day, so she planned to marinate the meat when it was cooler at night and have her son take it out as a gift.

“Five jin, how big must a stray cat or dog be to carry away this meat so quickly and unnoticed?” Li Shu said seriously.

"..." Zhou was stunned for a moment. "You just lied to me?! Where did you hide the meat?!"

She realized what was happening and rushed into the kitchen to search around, eventually fixing her gaze on the stove.

The firewood at the bottom of the stove was still glowing, but some of it had already been moved out. Zhou took out the rest of the firewood and extinguished it. Only then did she notice something inside. She quickly reached out, grabbed it, dusted it off, and took a closer look...

The crowd looked at Li Shu with more sympathy.

It's a bracelet.

Moreover, many people recognized it as an heirloom of Li Shu's mother, which had accompanied her to her wedding a few days ago. She cherished this item and used to wear it all the time, never letting it out of her sight.

Now, buried in wood ash, it has changed color from the residual heat of the charcoal.
