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

Chen Yousong really wanted to say that he didn't have the ability, but since Captain Ma hadn't said it directly, it would be offensive if he refused. So he could only nod and laugh in agreement, while also praising Ma Chengting.

Lieutenant Ma was also filled with mixed feelings.

He underestimated Chen Yousong; he never expected that Doctor Cheng would take a liking to him.

Although Dr. Cheng is a kind-hearted person, how many soldiers in the army have died or been maimed? How could he feel pity for Chen Yousong and take special care of him just because he was slightly injured?

There must be other reasons.

It doesn't matter if Chen Yousong doesn't say it; he knows it in his heart.

……

At this time, Li Shu had already returned to Ganhe Town.

News of the deaths of Li Chutian and his wife has reached them, so the Li family is now wearing white mourning clothes. Since they died while in prison and their remains have been buried in the mountains, the funeral arrangements are being kept simple.

Moreover, Li Chuiguang was the only one left at home. He was still young and didn't understand many things. He only knew how to close the door and cry.

Upon Li Shu's appearance, Li Chuiguang was clearly on guard.

"How exactly did my parents die?" Li Chuiguang asked, his eyes red. He was very wary of Li Shu.

“One was poisoned by Aman, and the other hanged himself because his house collapsed. The authorities should have already explained this to you, so... why are you asking me?” Li Shu looked at him calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Impossible! How could Father commit suicide!" Li Chuiguang simply did not believe it.

He desperately wanted to question Li Shu about whether she was behind it, but he also knew that there was a significant age gap between him and Li Shu. Since she killed someone, his family had undergone tremendous changes, and he could no longer treat her the way he used to.

“Nothing is impossible.” Li Shu ignored him.

She's planning to move out of the house.

A little kid like him should be thoroughly suppressed while he's still young.

Li Chuiguang's eyes were swollen from crying. He knew he couldn't win against Li Shu, so after Li Shu entered the room, he could only remain silent and do his own thing.

Li Shu did not rush to take action.

She went out early the next morning.

However, she has now become a plague in the eyes of her neighbors, and they all keep their distance from her.

Li Shu wasn't surprised. After all, four people went up the mountain, but only she returned. Anyone would think something was wrong. But it didn't matter what others thought, as long as the government had no evidence.

"Bah! You cursed star! Your Li family only has Chuiguang left, and you still have the nerve to come back? What if you bring him to his death? The Li family will be wiped out, how can you face your ancestors..." The one who said this to her was Yao Aning's father.

Li Shu is not afraid of these accusations. These neighbors still remember these things now, but in a few years, they will not only not feel sorry for the Li family, but may even bully Li Chuiguang because he has no parents.

“You can become a descendant of my Li family and recognize my younger brother as your father.” Li Shu said seriously, “My younger brother is young, and I can make the decision for him. Why don’t we get it done today?”

Upon hearing Li Shu's words, Yao's father was furious.

He turned and ran after Li Shu to teach him a lesson.

Knowing this wasn't the time to fight, Li Shu didn't hesitate and ran away, but he still wouldn't let it go: "My dear nephew, we just had a funeral and need you to carry the funeral banners. Instead of doing your job, you're chasing after your aunt and causing a scene. Don't you have any manners?!"

Despite shouting, Li Shu kept walking and managed to avoid being caught.

After getting away from the vicinity of the Li family, she found a secluded place and changed into her beggar's clothes.

Her dusty face and limping leg made her inconspicuous, and she didn't wander around, but stopped near the Qi family's residence.

After Qi Yanfeng died, the Qi family's lamp oil business could no longer continue, and Granny Qi could barely support herself. However, she was not stupid and knew to pester the Yao family for betrothal gifts. She made a scene every day, and when pushed to the limit, she even used the past between Yao Aning and Qi Yanfeng as a threat. After some news spread, it greatly displeased the old lady of the Ma family.

Only then did Yao Aning force the Yao family to return all the betrothal gifts.

Not only that, but they also gave her an extra five taels of silver to help Granny Qi continue her lamp oil business.

Therefore, during the days that Li Shu was away from Ganhe Town, Granny Qi lived quite well.

Li Shu waited at the entrance of the Qi family's house. As soon as Granny Qi came out, she lowered her head and approached her. The broken bowl shook in front of Granny Qi.

Granny Qi was by no means a generous person. She shoved Li Shu to the ground and yelled, "Are you blind? Why did you run into this old woman?! Go beg somewhere else, I have nothing for you to eat! You unlucky thing, why didn't the snow freeze you beggars to death?!"

Granny Qi had a very bad impression of beggars!

During the hardest period of her life, she was beaten by beggars!

"So fierce, who will dare to buy tung oil from your family in the future! Once the Li family's tung oil shop opens, they'll steal all the business, and you'll be worse off than us beggars!" Li Shu said in a low voice, filled with resentment.

Granny Qi didn't recognize her at all.

The little beggar in front of me... wasn't good-looking either, he was dirty and ugly, and his messy hair covered his eyes, making him look like a blind man!

Granny Qi had only met Ali a few times before. After Ali married into the Qi family, she was beaten by Qi Yanfeng until her face was covered in blood. Granny Qi had long forgotten what Ali originally looked like. Now that Li Shu had dressed up specially, Granny Qi felt even more unfamiliar with her.

"What did you say? What Li family tung oil shop?!" Granny Qi was furious and immediately stepped forward.

Li Shu hurriedly grabbed the broken bowl, hunched over, and waved it frantically, "Don't come any closer... don't come any closer..."

Granny Qi gritted her teeth and said, "Talk to me nicely, and I'll give you a white steamed bun!"

"Really?" Li Shu asked, her head bowed, but her voice carried a hint of joy.

Ignoring the filth on Li Shu's body, Granny Qi dragged her into the house and stuffed a steamed bun into her hand.

Li Shu immediately took a bite, then said in a muffled voice, "During the days of heavy snow, I was so cold and afraid of dying. I heard that there was only one child living in the Li family, so I secretly climbed over the wall and survived in their woodshed..."

"What did you see at the Li family's house?!" Granny Qi asked hurriedly.

"Tung oil... lamps, quite a lot. I think they're going to open a lamp oil shop..." Li Shu said, taking another bite. "But their kid is really rich... living alone, eating meat every day, their shop is sure to grow very big..."

Granny Qi was furious.

It's her tung oil!

The Li family did indeed steal her things, and they hadn't even admitted it before!

"That wall is so high, how did you climb up there? Don't try to fool me!" Granny Qi said fiercely.

“Why would I lie to you if you give me steamed buns? Climbing the wall is easy. Just find some stones to step on, and stuff a few stone slabs or hard branches into the cracks in the wall for footholds. You’ll naturally climb up. But you might fall into the yard and hurt a bit. If I don’t yell, no one will hear me,” Li Shu said in a muffled voice.

His head remained raised, like a timid and cowardly fool. He even suddenly reached out and snatched another steamed bun from Granny Qi's hand, then turned and ran away.

Granny Qi grumbled a couple of times, then her mind was filled with thoughts of the Li family.
