Li Shu searched the woodshed and found a wood-chopping knife.

The machete was rusty, but that didn't stop it from being used. Holding it, she walked to the door and started chopping at the bolted door.

The movement aggravated the wound, making Li Shu so angry that he spoke with a foul mouth.

Fortunately, the Qi family didn't take the original owner seriously, and didn't even think that the original owner would have the guts to run away, so the door wasn't very sturdy. Even though Li Shu was weak all over, he could still open it easily.

They came face to face with Qi Yanfeng, who had come to deliver the food.

Qi Yanfeng was very good-looking and tall. His face had regular features, excellent bone structure, and a high nose bridge. He had a somewhat cold and aloof temperament, just like the character in the pay-to-win game she played in her previous life who was born poor and grew up to be tall and handsome.

Unfortunately, he's mentally ill, really mentally ill.

Li Shu placed the wood-chopping knife behind him and put it into his spatial storage.

The man was tall and strong, and when he went mad, he was like a wild beast. Although she had practiced some martial arts in her previous life, the original owner of this body was too weak, hungry and in pain, young and thin, and head-on confrontation was not her forte.

"Why did you come out? Mother told you to stay in the woodshed, not to bully you, but mainly because she was worried that you wouldn't be used to the house. Miss Ali, don't overthink it..." Qi Yanfeng opened his mouth.

Li Shu withdrew his murderous gaze: "My body is in great pain, and my legs are still weak. Perhaps you were too rough yesterday and broke my bones. Besides, I'm very hungry. If I stay in the woodshed any longer, I'll definitely die. I don't think you want to spend a lot of money only to marry a dead person, do you?"

Qi Yanfeng focused his gaze on her and looked her over carefully.

When he goes berserk, he doesn't recognize anyone, not even his own family, and he doesn't restrain his strength at all.

So he knew that he had beaten the woman badly. He said he came to deliver food, but he was actually afraid that she might not make it and die, which would be difficult to explain.

“You shouldn’t have been crying yesterday. It was annoying. I’m usually easy to talk to, as long as you don’t provoke me on purpose.” The man said, leading Li Shu to sit down in the main room and stuffing a simple cornbread into Li Shu’s hand: “My mother went out to sell lamp oil. She’s not here. Eat something first. Once she comes back, you won’t be able to eat.”

"Selling lamp oil?" Li Shu wasn't worried about being poisoned. She was currently exhausted and needed to replenish her energy, so she ate slowly and deliberately, only taking a moment to ask, "What are people outside saying?"

With her son just married, how could Mother Qi have the leisure to go out and sell lamp oil?

I'm afraid it's all a smokescreen. Their real purpose is to scout out the situation. First, to spread the word about the marriage exchange between the two families. Second, they're eyeing the betrothal gifts they gave to the Yao family. After all, they haven't gotten the bride yet, and they can't let the money go to waste.

The cornbread was eaten with cold water, and there was some sweet and pungent blood mixed in with it, making it an unpleasant experience.

Not long after, Li Shu also felt that although he was still in a lot of pain, his hands and feet were not so weak and powerless, as if he had crawled back from the gates of hell.

The original owner's injuries were truly severe, and she was truly pitiful.

Now that it's her turn, she feels that she can't be pitiful on her own; she needs a companion.

Qi Yanfeng felt that this woman talked too much and didn't really want to talk to her, but he also felt that since they were going to live together in the future, it wouldn't be good to be too indifferent. So he patiently said, "Once you've paid your respects to heaven and earth, you're husband and wife. Neither family wants to switch back, nor can they switch back. So everyone naturally thinks this matter is not important."

“I know that my Qi family is not as well off as the Ma family, but Miss Ali, you know your own situation. Your mother is gone, you have to make a living under your stepmother, and your father doesn’t care about you. If you marry into the Ma family, you will suffer grievances and have no one to stand up for you. You would be more comfortable in my family.” Qi Yanfeng looked at her face and his tone became more and more peaceful.

This woman is a bit too thin, but her eyes and brows are pretty.

He gradually relaxed and no longer believed that the woman in front of him had the right to resist.

After all, who in the Li family can make decisions for her?

Li Shu lowered his eyebrows slightly, a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashing across his face.

“You’re right. How could someone like me marry into the Ma family? Only Yao’s daughter, Aning, is so lucky…” Li Shu said, following his words. After speaking, she took off the silver bracelet from her wrist, seemingly intending to hand it to Qi Yanfeng: “My stepmother didn’t prepare a valuable dowry for me. This bracelet I have is worth a little money. It was left to me by my birth mother. I’m worried that my mother-in-law might have some reservations about me, so I wanted to ask you to give this to her. I hope it will make her like me a little more…”

When the original owner got married, her stepmother prepared some things to save face, but they were all just for show and were nothing in reality.

The bracelet looked quite heavy, but it was only covered with a layer of silver, so her stepmother let her keep it.

Qi Yanfeng looked at the bracelet and subconsciously reached out to take it.

"Oh dear—my hands are shaking—" Li Shu suddenly exclaimed softly.

The bracelet fell to the ground, spun around twice, and lay down at Qi Yanfeng's feet.

Qi Yanfeng was slightly displeased, feeling that women were useless, but the silver bracelet was innocent, so he bent down in his chair to pick it up—

Upon seeing this, Li Shu instantly took out a wood-chopping knife from his spatial storage and, without the slightest hesitation, aimed it at Qi Yanfeng's side of the neck and chopped it down!

The machete wasn't very sharp, but Li Shu used all his strength.

Instantly, blood spurted out.

A tremendous pain enveloped him. Qi Yanfeng clutched his neck in shock and turned to look at Li Shu, only to see a hint of unbridled malice on Li Shu's face as he stared at him with a mocking and manic expression.

"Your constant crying is so annoying! Now that you're dead, you're no longer annoying, are you?" Li Shu sighed, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gripped his wood-chopping knife tightly. "I thought your illness was incurable. You'd have a relapse at the slightest provocation, but isn't the provocation enough now? Why aren't you having an attack?"

"Oh, so it's you who can't keep going!"

“You misspoke earlier. It’s true that I’m all alone and have no one to stand up for me when I’m wronged, but… I have hands and feet, and I can do it myself!”

"Go ahead and yell again, huh?" Li Shu got up and kicked him.

Qi Yanfeng felt his blood rapidly draining away. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but the immense pain rendered him speechless. He was like a stone statue that had been smashed to pieces, crashing to the ground with a loud bang, his wide-open eyes seeming as if he were dying with his eyes open in disbelief.

Li Shu wasn't quite normal in her past life. She was less afraid than most people. However, most of the people she met in her past life were law-abiding and reasonable. No one would be so reckless as to act in front of her. Therefore, she successfully grew into a model citizen.

Came here...

Who doesn't have some kind of mental illness while just trying to survive in this world?!

The man lay on the ground, his blood flowing far down the cracks in the stone slabs. Li Shu glanced at him quietly for a moment, then began to scan his surroundings.

The Qi family was not wealthy, but they had some daily necessities.

Since Qi's mother hadn't returned yet, Li Shu moved quickly, dragging his crippled body, and immediately searched the house.

She picked out a few clean pots and pans, and successfully found eight taels of silver and two strings of copper coins in Qi's mother's room. In addition, there were some "tung oil seeds" and tung oil in the Qi family's warehouse, as well as many unfinished lamp wicks. She didn't stand on ceremony and moved them all into her space.

After all this was done, Mother Qi still hadn't returned.

Qi Yanfeng has completely died.

Li Shu coughed twice, letting blood flow from his mouth. The next moment, he grabbed a wood-chopping knife and ran out.
