Upon seeing the bracelet, Li Shu's eyes revealed nervousness, and he immediately snatched the bracelet from Zhou Shi's hand!

“I couldn’t find it when I woke up this morning. It turns out you stole it. You stole it, fine, but you even hid it in a place like this… You want to destroy the keepsake my mother gave me? Aman, I am your sister after all. Why can’t you tolerate me?” The same words came from Li Shu.

She wanted to see how anxious and distressed they would feel when this undeniable feeling fell upon them.

She twisted the truth, confused right and wrong, and made sure the Li family couldn't understand or clarify the situation.

"That's not true! I didn't hide anything, you damned Ali, you're framing me?! You just put this in there!" Li Aman was furious. "Mother! Tell me quickly, she clearly stole the hairpin, stole the meat, and bullied me!"

Zhou was completely dazed and her mind was not quite processing what was happening.

There was no meat in the kitchen, nor in the yard, nor in the other rooms...

Zhou searched quickly... but still couldn't find it!

gone!

Where did it go?

Could it be such a coincidence that it was snatched by a dog? But who would believe that?! And... my daughter just mentioned the kitchen knife... where is the kitchen knife?! The bowl of meat she made is gone too, and there are only scattered firewood and charcoal in the kitchen. Even the beaded hairpin my daughter mentioned can't be found.

In other words, she cannot prove that Li Shu did something wrong.

But Li Shu's bracelet... is right under the stove.

This thing is very precious to Li Shu, and no one would think that Li Shu would use this thing to frame her daughter!

Even Zhou couldn't help but suspect that while she was out looking for meat, her daughter might have snatched Li Shu's bracelet and stuffed it under the stove...

If even she, as the mother, has such doubts, then others must be even more suspicious.

Look at Li Shu, she's standing there, calm, but her thin body looks very innocent.

Her hands were clean, without a speck of dirt, while Li Man's body was much dirtier than hers.

Zhou suddenly felt like she was swallowing a bitter pill: "This meat... I really did buy five catties... it must have been hidden somewhere. My Aman wouldn't lie. She said Ali burned her hair, so it must be!"

“Yes, that’s always been the case in our family. No matter what Aman does wrong, I will take the blame for her. But this time… I really can’t help. If Dad and Dalang come back and blame me for this, I won’t be able to take the beating…” Li Shu’s voice was slow, as if he was somewhat numb.

It was as if she was supposed to bear everything.

“Sister-in-law Li, it’s time to teach your youngest daughter a lesson…”

"..." Zhou's old face trembled.

Li Man had never been wronged before, and she couldn't stand hearing this. She immediately started arguing: "Are you blind? She burned my hair with charcoal. I didn't touch her bracelet. She's framing me!"

Li Shu stood there, looking at Li Man with a disappointed expression.

"With your parents and brothers protecting you, how could I dare to treat you like that? Sister, how many times have you wronged me since we were little? Just this once, I fought back, and you're so angry. Have you ever thought about how I've been all these years?"

"You little brat! You're talking nonsense! I'll have my brother beat you to death!" Li Man couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily.

Li Shu shrank back, then took a step back, his eyes showing a hint of panic as he feigned fear.

……

"Who dares to hit her!" Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

Li Shu was stunned for a moment.

When everyone looked back, they saw a man squeezing through.

When Zhou saw the man, a hint of guilt flashed across her face.

"Ah Li's mother is gone, but her uncle is still alive! Does your Li family have no shame at all? Taking advantage of my frequent absences from home and inability to stand up for Ah Li, you've been bullying her relentlessly. Now that she has suffered such a great injustice, you still want to treat her like this! Zhou Shi! You, as a stepmother, are mistreating the daughter left behind by the first wife. Do you want to be despised by everyone?!" The man was very angry, and his voice was fierce.

Li Shu looked at the newcomer and learned that this person was Chen Yousong, the original owner's uncle.

It's been almost two years since we last contacted each other. He looks a little different from how I remember him, and he seems more tired.

When everyone saw Chen Yousong arrive, they all sighed with emotion.

As the family of the original wife, and with the original wife dead, Chen Yousong was naturally in the right. Not to mention the Li family, even the neighbors would be more polite to him.

Unfortunately, Chen Yousong joined the army and returned home very infrequently.

“Brother Chen is here? If you say we bullied Ali, that’s not true. Look at my daughter’s hair…” Zhou quickly pulled her daughter over, trying to reason with her.

“That’s not true! Ah Li is gentle and has been bullied by you since she was a child. She has never fought back. Stop trying to smear her! Back then, you joined the sect less than three months after my sister died. What kind of good person are you?! Trying to frame my niece and make her suffer, I think you are heartless!” Chen Yousong said firmly.

He felt guilty.

After his niece's marriage to the Ma family was arranged, he finally had a weight lifted off his shoulders.

How could a wife be happy if such a good marriage was arranged for someone else instead of her own daughter? Even if she didn't say it, it still affected their relationship.

So he made a decision; that was the last time he would help Ali.

Captain Ma is a man of his word. With the Ma family by her side, Ah Li shouldn't suffer too much after marriage. The Li family, for the benefits brought by this marriage, shouldn't bully Ah Li to death.

So he never came to see the child again.

He only found out yesterday that the marriage was a mistake, and that Ah Li had been forced to kill someone...

Captain Ma apologized to him in a special way. Since the other party was a captain, even if he had grievances in his heart, he dared not say it and could only ask for leave to come back and visit.

I never expected to see this scene as soon as I got back!

The fact that Zhou had rushed into the family back then was already controversial, and now that it was being brought up again, she looked very unhappy.

“It’s clearly her…” Li Man cried very sadly.

"Shut up! If you utter another word, I'll go to Li Chutian's superiors and demand an explanation. I want to see what face he has to work at the post station if he can't even manage his own household!" Chen Yousong said immediately.

Unless absolutely necessary, why would someone ruin someone's livelihood?

Li Man wanted to mutter a few more words, but Zhou, who was holding back her anger, pulled her back.

"This matter... is just a misunderstanding between the two children. It will be fine once it's been talked out. Besides, my daughter's hair will grow back, so there's no need to make such a big fuss... Brother Chen, since you're here, why don't you sit down? The husband will be back soon, so you can have a couple of drinks..." Zhou gritted her teeth, but managed to put on a completely different face.

A stepmother is already easily gossiped about; if things escalate further, she'll never have a peaceful life again.

“No need! I’m here to take Ali away! Your family doesn’t treat her like a human being, so I’ll take her away and sever all ties between our two families from now on!” Chen Yousong said solemnly.

He thought about it all day and decided that no matter what, he couldn't let Ali stay in the Li family anymore.

After that ordeal, Li Chutian would never treat her well, and the Ma family was helpless. Her future marriage prospects were bleak; she would likely be tormented to death!

Looking at his uncle, Li Shu felt a mix of complex emotions.

This person was a good guy, it's a pity...

It's too late.
