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

Granny Qi had a clear goal. She grabbed the pillow and shook it, but found no other money. So she used the pillow to target Li Chuiguang.

She didn't know how to knock someone unconscious, but covering their mouth should work. Li Chuiguang was terrified by the other person's fierce appearance and covered her mouth, saying, "Please don't hurt me, I promise I won't make a sound... The silver... I really only have this much... Our family's contracts are all legally binding, it's useless for you to take it..."

Granny Qi was a little anxious. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly pulled Li Chuiguang to the main room.

There were also two jars of cheap liquor in the room.

If you want to ensure the other person remains quiet while you run away, then this is the only way! Using a pillow... could easily smother someone to death if you're not careful!

Li Chuiguang understood what the other person meant, so he could only silently lift the small jar and drink it down.

After gulping down a few mouthfuls, Li Chuiguang's face turned red, he felt completely weak, his head was spinning, and he was stammering.

Li Chuiguang also used his brain. He didn't say that he couldn't drink anymore. After drinking half a jar, he collapsed there like a rag doll. No matter how Granny Qi called him, he didn't respond and let Granny Qi carry him back.

Granny Qi was finally relieved.

After searching again, they finally found five taels of silver under the spittoon in the room.

"Such a cunning little thing at such a young age! And you told me you didn't have any more? Isn't this money?!" Granny Qi spat and stuffed the silver into her pocket. She already had eight taels, but she felt that there must be more money hidden elsewhere. This kid was really good at hiding money. It took her so much effort to find this little bit. The rest... it would probably be even harder to find!

Eight taels of silver were enough to make up the difference.

Granny Qi then cautiously prepared to leave.

However, as soon as she pushed open the outer gate of the Li family's house, Granny Qi suddenly smelled a pungent odor!

"Fire?! Fire?!" Granny Qi exclaimed in shock. "I...I didn't start the fire?!"

Flames erupted with lightning speed, and Li Shu suddenly appeared, shouting, "Help! Thief! Help! A thief has set fire!"

"You brat!" Granny Qi panicked and didn't even have time to settle scores with Li Shu before turning around and running away.

However, Li Shu spotted her and immediately gave chase, shouting as he ran, "Help! Thief!"

Almost all the neighbors suddenly turned on their lights.

Seeing the flames shooting into the sky, everyone was shocked and rushed out to help put out the fire, preventing it from spreading to their own homes.

Granny Qi tried to escape, but Li Shu was faster than her and pounced on her, pinning her down!

In a moment of inspiration, Li Shu smeared the tung oil from his spatial storage onto Granny Qi's body, and then began punching her repeatedly: "You scoundrel, you actually set my house on fire! I only have one younger brother left, and I think you deliberately wanted to kill him so that people would call me a cursed lone star!"

"Arsonist! If anything happens to my brother, I will never let you get away with this!"

"..."

As Li Shu spoke, tears still clung to his anxious face.

Granny Qi was stunned by the beating and didn't even have a chance to talk back.

When there were more people, they immediately took control of Granny Qi after seeing her, and Li Shu stopped hitting her and went to put out the fire.

Li Shu only picked out a few usable items and put them away before burning them.

As for the money in the house, she didn't really care. The money that Li Chuiguang had was well hidden and difficult to obtain. When she went down the mountain, she even dug out sixty taels from the jar where Li Chutian kept his money.

However, Li Shu underestimated Li Chuiguang's survival skills.

The tiny figure actually crawled out of the fire.

He was covered in smoke, with marks on his legs from being hit by heavy objects, and his face and hands appeared to be burned by flames. He looked extremely pitiful at that moment.

From a short distance away, they saw Li Chuiguang struggling. The siblings, one standing and the other lying down, looked at each other.

Li Shu's cold gaze showed no pity.

If someone slaps her, she'll retaliate with a sledgehammer; that's her motto.

"Brother, are you alright?" Li Shu pulled him over, then put on a concerned expression. "I've caught the thief. It was Granny Qi. She set our house on fire! I never imagined she could be so vicious! If I hadn't heard some strange noises and woken up, we would both be burned to ashes!"

Li Chuiguang felt dizzy.

Li Shu had already smelled the scent on him, and then slapped him on the head: "You've been drinking? You're drinking in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, how old are you to dare to ruin your body like this?!"

The alcohol numbed the brain, and the temporary stress response masked some of the pain.

Even so, Li Chuiguang knew that he was seriously injured.

At this moment, Ali was still only concerned with lecturing him!

"Ah Li, your brother's face and legs are badly injured! You should take him to see a doctor quickly!"

"See a doctor? I have no money, only the ten acres of land my father left me before he died. I've always carried the land deed with me, but it's just a deed, and it's been processed by the government. It can't be exchanged for money in a short time!" Li Shu said anxiously. "Brother, Father said he left you several dozen taels of silver. Where did you put it? We need to treat our injuries. Take it out quickly!"

Li Chuiguang could have run out much earlier, but he was delayed because he went to retrieve the deposited silver.

He hid all his silver in various corners of the house. Of the fifty taels his father left him, he only used about three taels, but then eight taels were stolen...

In addition, he also took out the land deeds and house deeds, which were all in his arms.

He shakily pulled it out, but stopped Li Shu from touching the silver, and said weakly, "Uncles, please help me see a doctor. I will repay you handsomely afterwards!"

Li Shu withdrew his hand, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing.

The reaction is quite fast.

However... Li Shu looked at his injury and did not stop him.

They immediately had him carried away.

……

Countless people came to put out the fire, but they could not save the Li family. By the next morning, the Li family's house was almost completely burned down, with only the outer walls remaining. The houses facing south were almost entirely destroyed.

Li Shu sat quietly in front of the gate, looking as if he had suffered a great shock.

Qi's mother has already been taken away to the authorities.

Early in the morning, people from the Chen family also arrived. Chen Feiqing and Chen Ying, the two siblings, were covered in sweat. When they saw that Li Shu was sitting there properly with only some soot on his body, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright! It's good that you're alright!" Chen Ying hugged her. "Ah Li, don't be afraid! Your cousin is here!"

Li Shu paused for a moment, then said softly, "This fire is burning so beautifully."

"???" Chen Ying was stunned, thinking she was scared out of her wits. "We'll take you away in a bit. My family has a room for you to stay in! You can't refuse this time!"

Li Shu pushed her away, completely calm.

“I appreciate my cousins’ kindness, but my current reputation isn’t good, and I don’t want to hold you back. Besides, I have an injured younger brother, and I can’t abandon him to his fate, can I?”
