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

Li Shu maintained a polite smile as he listened to Li Man's incessant rant about the couple.

That couple has indeed been having a tough time lately.

But for her, it wasn't too bad.

“You and I are both pitiful creatures abandoned by them, so we should stick together for warmth. My mother is gone, and I don’t care about my own life or death, so I can still escape. But your mother still loves you. If you talk about her like this, you will be cursed behind your back in the future. So, Aman, if you want to beat your mother, there is only one way.”

"What method?" Li Man didn't understand.

She really didn't want to listen to her mother's nagging anymore!

“Rely on your father.” Li Shu instructed seriously, “Your mother may seem strong, but in this family, the one who has the final say is your father. Sometimes, only by relying on the strong can you avoid becoming the weakest one in the family.”

“Your mother has never suffered, so she can’t stand it and will take out all her malice on you. But when she can’t be stronger than you, she will become exceptionally sensible, just like her attitude towards your older brother before, respectful and harmonious,” Li Shu added.

"It seems...that makes sense. When my eldest brother was alive, he always sided with my father...and my younger brother too! That's why my mother never got angry with them, and was even quite afraid of them!" Li Man's eyes lit up. "Big sister, thank you for telling me all this!"

"You're welcome. You're too young. I just couldn't bear to see you suffer," Li Shu said with a smile.

When Li Man arrived, he was still full of anger, but when he was about to leave, he had a smile on his face, as if he had been reborn.

She sat with Li Shu for two hours, asking many questions about how to please Li Chutian.

Li Shu also tried his best to find a solution for her, and his earnest and concerned appearance touched Li Man's heart a lot.

"Big sister, I'm sorry, I treated you so badly before." Li Man sincerely apologized.

“You’re just a child, I don’t blame you,” Li Shu said shamelessly.

She has no sense of reverence, so she's not afraid of being struck by lightning or suffering retribution for lying.

Can a simple apology and a few kind words really smooth things over? That's not how it works.

She possessed the original owner's memories of seventeen years, at least ten of which were spent revolving around her two younger siblings. These siblings inherited their parents' cruelty, and the original owner was bullied and humiliated by them to the point of being unable to breathe.

There is only one way to erase the filth in your memory.

She was convinced of this from the moment she transmigrated here, and it will never change.

After Li Man returned, he acted as if he couldn't see Zhou Shi and began to do things according to Li Shu's instructions.

When Li Chutian wasn't around, she tried her best to ignore Zhou's nagging and basically did nothing.

As soon as Li Chutian arrived, she immediately went to greet him, helping him take the firewood he had chopped or handing him a clean handkerchief. She tried not to make a fuss, but to use the least amount of effort to let her father see her greatest effort.

Li Chutian was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, and recently, Zhou had trampled it to pieces.

At this moment, Li Man's attitude timely restored the dignity he had discarded.

"You haven't moved an inch all day, and now that your father's back you're all over him, you brat! Who are you trying to fool?! Do you think I'm stupid?!" Zhou was furious, feeling that her perfectly fine child had suddenly turned bad!

“Mother…please don’t hit me…” Li Man quickly squatted down and covered her head. “Father! I made Mother angry again today…I wanted to wash Father’s clothes first. I think you work too hard every day chopping wood, and your clothes need to be washed and dried so you can have new ones. But Mother wouldn’t let me wash them. She said you’re too rough and made me help her stack the firewood first…”

"???" Zhou was dumbfounded.

Was she betrayed by her daughter?

"All you do is bully the child! She's so young and you make her do such heavy work! What kind of wife is as lazy as you? You even exploit your own daughter, are you even human?!" Sure enough, Li Chutian found an opportunity and began to make trouble for Zhou Shi.

The Zhou family is going crazy!

Why are this father and daughter ganging up on her? They find fault with her in everything she does and are always picking on her!

She glared at her daughter resentfully, but Li Man acted as if she hadn't seen her. She quickly hid behind Li Chutian and pulled a wild egg from her bosom: "Dad, this is what I saved for you..."

"..." Zhou felt a metallic taste in her throat and thought she was about to die of anger.

However, this was not the end of the story; the same thing happened every day thereafter.

Li Shu would occasionally give Li Man some food, not much, but enough for her to coax Li Chutian. As a result, Zhou Shi became visibly haggard under the pressure from this father and daughter.

About a month later, Li Shu felt the time was right and secretly appeared.

Zhou was chopping firewood when Li Shu glanced at the pile of firewood in the corner of the wooden house and stuffed two bundles into his spatial storage.

The rest... Li Shu looked at the open space in front of Zhou Shi, pushed the other two bundles over there, then poured some tung oil on them and threw them into the fire.

The clearing was well-maintained and clean, ensuring the fire wouldn't spread into the woods. The limited amount of firewood also meant the fire wouldn't get too big.

When Zhou saw Li Shu, her eyes widened in disbelief: "You're not dead?!"

On the other side of the flames, Li Shu grinned at her, then simply left.

Zhou was about to chase after them, but when she saw the pile of firewood, she became extremely anxious. After all, she had chopped it day and night, and if it all burned, what would happen? She immediately tried to put out the fire.

The fire, though small, emitted scorching heat. She tried her best to save it, but couldn't stop the flames from burning faster.

When Li Chutian returned, he saw this scene of utter devastation.

I'm going to deliver firewood tomorrow!

Now, it's all gone?

"It's that damned girl Li Shu! She's back!" Zhou shouted hurriedly.

"Aman!" Li Chutian called out, "Have you seen Ali?"

Li Man's heart skipped a beat. Remembering how she had been getting closer to Ali recently, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

She has recently received many benefits; if her parents find out the truth, she will be beaten to death!

Li Man had been contradicting Zhou Shi every day, which had become a habit, so she said without hesitation, "No! Ah Li didn't come. I saw Mother suddenly go crazy and burn the wood, saying that she wanted Father to be whipped."

After she said all that, her older sister should let her eat better food.

The last time her parents had a fight, her eldest sister actually treated her to food at a restaurant, saying that she had specially asked a friend to deliver it!

She had never tasted it before when she was at home!

Moreover, the older sister also gave her one hundred coins!

Even if she could only receive it once a month, over three years she would have three or four taels of silver!

At this moment, seeing her mother's terrified expression, Li Man felt a pang of unease, but after thinking about it, she realized it wasn't her fault.

All she wanted was to live a good life, and for her parents to stop bullying her...

But her mother was thinking about her younger brother and her older brother, and didn't care about her at all!

So what's wrong with her planning for herself...?
