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

No one knows the original owner's past better than Li Man.

They were both daughters of the Li family. From the moment Li Man was born, Ali accompanied her as she grew up, taking care of her daily life and enduring her commands. Li Man was not ignorant of human relationships, so she knew how much pain Ali was going through.

What Li Man is suffering now is less than one-tenth of what Ah Li is going through.

"I'm not you, I'm my mother's biological child. My mother is too tired right now, so she can only ask me to help her... So don't even think about shirking your responsibilities here. I'm going back right now to tell them to take you back and see if you'll have a good life!" Li Man said, forcing himself to stay.

Li Shu said nonchalantly, "Fine, go ahead and tell on me. I don't care. If I can run away once, I can run away a second time. But you should think carefully about whether your mother wants to see me or not. Will bringing me back make your mother angry again?"

Li Man clenched his fist.

She just couldn't stand how easy Li Shu was!

"Want to eat meat?" Li Shu suddenly asked. "You've lost a lot of weight these past few days. You're my sister, someone I raised. If you're willing, I can make sure you eat and drink well."

Li Man frowned, looking very wary.

Li Shu turned around and went back into the house, then brought out the dishes from his spatial storage.

She was very generous and even took out a pastry.

"Eat up. You can talk to me after you've eaten." Li Shu put the food down, took a few steps back, and winked at her.

Li Man wanted to refuse, but she really wanted to try it.

When they first came to the mountains, the whole family ate dry rations, which were hard and difficult to swallow. Later, they got a pot and were able to cook wild vegetable porridge. However, the government distributed little grain each month, and buying it from the soldiers was ten times more expensive. Therefore, her parents told her to use it sparingly and that she didn't have to do much work each day, so she didn't need to eat too much and just needed to keep from starving.

Li Man couldn't resist after all. She took a few steps closer, grabbed the pastry, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

Having tasted the delicious food, he naturally couldn't resist it any longer. Before long, the man sat on the rock and began to wolf down his food.

Li Shu didn't rush to speak, but waited quietly.

"Where did you get the rice, meat, and these snacks? It takes several hours to get down the mountain and home..." After finishing his meal, Li Man also felt something was amiss and immediately asked.

“I have a friend who prepared some for me in advance, and I’ve even learned how to catch live animals. If you want to eat again next time, you can still come over.” Li Shu was very generous. “However, if you want to tell on me, then you won’t get to eat a single bite of what I’ve hidden.”

Li Man considered it carefully.

The changes at home were so drastic that Li Man felt resentful, and her desire to find Li Shu was merely a form of self-preservation.

Deep down, she already clearly felt that she was no longer important to her parents.

She really wanted to eat her fill.

It's a difficult choice between having an easy life without working and being well-fed, and choosing the former carries risks.

It is highly likely that even if her parents made Ali go chop wood, she still wouldn't be able to escape.

“Then I’ll come find you again when Father goes to the military camp to deliver firewood,” Li Man said after a long while.

“Okay.” Li Shu nodded, but the next moment, she changed her tone, “But… what will you offer in exchange? I don’t get along with your parents, and you want to please both sides. That’s not appropriate, is it?”

"What do you mean! You just said you'd treat me to something, and now you want to back out?!" Li Man was furious and very unhappy.

“I keep my word, but if you eat my food, you have to listen to me.” Li Shu looked at her coldly. “The snacks just now were very expensive; they were an extra reward for doing the right thing.”

"What did I do right?" Li Man asked through gritted teeth.

"Going against your parents' wishes." Li Shu's voice was soft, drifting over gently: "They treat you badly, so why are you still filial to them? After you've worked so hard to endure everything for them and survived these three years, when you go back, all they care about is still your younger brother. Are you really willing to accept that?"

“I want you to destroy them. The better you do, the more I can give you,” Li Shu said bluntly.

She knew she was being immoral, deceiving and taking advantage of a young girl; if this had happened in her previous life, she would have been in jail in no time.

Her behavior is wrong and shameful, and no one should imitate it!

But... she was never a good person to begin with.

Li Man's heart was pounding. She was nervous, scared, resistant, but also... and resentful.

She hates her parents now.

"How do you know if I've sabotaged it..." Li Man asked, holding her breath.

“I visited you when you weren’t looking, and as I told you, I have many friends you don’t know about. I know your situation inside and out.” Li Shu boasted. “Alright, you’ve been out long enough. Go back and think it over. Give me your answer next time you come.”

"Oh, right, these are the fish I caught in the mountain spring, and there are also two wild eggs. Take them home and say you caught them yourself; you'll definitely be praised." Li Shu generously gave them away again.

Li Man was filled with unease, but she showed no resistance to the food offered with contempt.

Take it honestly, and then go back in the direction you came from.

When Li Man finally stumbled back, Zhou had already returned from chopping wood. Seeing Li Man, she immediately launched into a tirade: "I told you to stay home and cook! What were you doing?! I've been working all day, exhausted, and you haven't even cooked dinner…!"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed instantly when he saw what she was holding in her arms.

Where did you get it?

“I caught them in the mountain spring. There were two eggs in the grass nearby, so I brought them back together,” Li Man said softly.

"Just two?" Zhou frowned. "Did you sneak some outside before coming back?" Zhou immediately leaned forward and sniffed Li Man carefully.

As Li Man walked, much of her scent had dissipated with the wind, but a tiny trace remained. Zhou Shi keenly noticed it, her face instantly darkening. She pinched Li Man, saying, "Aman, your parents love you so much, and you've learned to eat alone?! Do you think doing these little chores is hard enough? Don't you think about what kind of suffering your parents are going through?!"

Li Man's heart skipped a beat: "Mother! I found something and brought it back to you... Isn't that enough? Why are you hitting me?!"

"I hit you because I was afraid you wouldn't learn your lesson! Besides, I didn't use much force, look how delicate you are!" Zhou snorted. "Alright, go start the fire and cook. This fish isn't big, so I'll make some fish soup with wild vegetables. These two eggs are in the soup too. Since you've already eaten outside, just have a few sips of soup..."

"..." Li Man's lips trembled uncontrollably.

It was only at this moment that Li Man suddenly remembered that Ali was also her father's child.

And Mother... her love also comes with conditions!

"Mother, if Ali comes back, I mean... if she's still here and can help you and Father with the work, then can I finally rest? Or, could you have the officials send me home?"
