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

Chen Ying held Li Shu's arm tightly, and she made firm promises.

The original owner had visited the Chen family and stayed there for a short time, but she didn't have a deep impression of them because she was always careful wherever she went and habitually kept everyone at arm's length, trying her best to protect herself.

Therefore, Li Shu, who inherited all the memories, knew that the Chen siblings were good people, but still subconsciously excluded them.

She couldn't cause trouble for her uncle and aunt; her cousins ​​were different from her.

This is Ali's idea.

So when Chen Ying said that, Li Shu felt very uncomfortable.

She was stubborn too. When Chen Ying tried to pull her away, she refused, twisting her body to try and break free. Chen Ying was even more amused when she saw this, clinging to Li Shu like an octopus: "Unless you kill me, you won't be able to get rid of us."

Chen Feiqing grinned and grabbed Li Shu's other arm: "Li, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. You need to find a place to stay now. Why don't you give it a try first? If you don't like the place, we definitely won't force you."

Chen Feiqing insisted on this because Ali was just a defenseless little girl.

Now everyone knows she has left home and still has five taels of silver in her hand. It's not much, but if someone with ulterior motives targets her, even a few coins can cause a tragedy...

“Most people in our area know some martial arts, so we don’t have to worry about outsiders. As for insiders… it would be a bit hypocritical to say there aren’t any bad people, but…” Chen Feiqing paused and continued, “There are also quite a few helpless children in our area who receive some protection. Others might think you’re weak, but no one will bully you for being powerless!”

Li Shu was also somewhat tempted after hearing Chen Feiqing's words.

She wanted to learn martial arts, and the Chen family was indeed a good place for her.

“Then I have a request,” Li Shu said bluntly. “I don’t live in the Chen family’s house. I want to rent a house near the Chen family’s house.”

"..." Chen Feiqing was silent for a while, he really didn't expect Li Shu to be so stubborn.

Chen Ying wanted to say something, but Chen Feiqing stopped her and nodded in agreement: "Okay! It's not hard to find a house near my home. You can make do for tonight, and we'll take you to choose one tomorrow."

Therefore, Li Shu did not refuse again and boarded the carriage to the Chen family.

The houses in Chen's area are all quite old, but they are indeed the safest in Ganhe Town.

The majority of the people living here are military households. In order to ensure that their children can survive longer on the battlefield, the people here have much higher expectations of them.

Ali hadn't been here often before and wasn't very curious about this place, but now that Li Shu was close, her eyes carefully observed her surroundings.

Chen Feiqing patiently gave her directions.

"Our area is called Wuzhuang. The northernmost part of Wuzhuang is near the mountain road, which is actually outside Ganhe Town. There are small paths there, but not many people use them. The children of Wuzhuang often go there to play, in groups of three or five. Also, we are under the jurisdiction of the Wu head. The eldest Wu head is in charge of the elders. If anyone is bullied or encounters trouble, the Wu head will organize everyone to help. The youngest Wu head is the leader of the children. Tomorrow I will take you to see him. When you meet him, call him 'brother' affectionately. Then, if anyone dares to bully you, they will get a beating."

“Why didn’t you tell me these things when I came here before?” Li Shu asked.

Chen Feiqing said embarrassedly, "You were still young before, and every time you came, you wouldn't stay for more than two days before leaving. Why would I tell you all this?"

After Ali got engaged, she never came back. Moreover, when she did come before, she was unwilling to go out and see anyone.

He always stays at home, brooding over something, and he's so scared when he sees his mother that he doesn't dare to look her in the eye, as if she were a bad person.

Chen Feiqing didn't quite understand before, but as he grew older, he came to realize that Ah Li had no choice and no right to observe the good and evil of others.

In fact, even if the Li couple hadn't died, her situation would still have been limited.

At this moment, Li Shu looked at the scene around him.

The houses in this area aren't very big. In the very center there's an old tree with many small wooden plaques hanging under its shade. The Chen family's house is located in the second row behind the old tree, so it's easy to find.

The Chen siblings were overjoyed and shouted as soon as they entered the house, "Mother! We're back!"

"Mom, guess what? The little one from the Li family got burned terribly, and now he's lying in the clinic unable to move! That little thing used to look down on everyone and say we were all unreasonable idiots, and now look what happened, he's getting his comeuppance!" Chen Yingfei rushed in like a bird, grabbed Zhu Shi's arm and started to whine, "We finally managed to persuade our cousin to come, so you can't be mean to her."

Zhu felt quite helpless.

There was some discomfort, but not towards Ali, but towards the Li family couple.

If the Li couple were alive, she would dislike Ah Li very much, but now... they're dead, so she can naturally take care of Ah Li a little. This child isn't a bottomless pit anymore.

"I understand." Madam Zhu's expression showed no intimacy as she glanced at Li Shu. "Go and eat."

Li Shu looked at Madam Zhu, thought for a moment, and took out ten taels of silver from his pocket: "I won't eat and stay for free, thank you for your trouble, Aunt."

After saying that, Li Shu grinned.

"..." Zhu's eyelids twitched, and she had a bad feeling.

"Silver?!" Chen Ying exclaimed, "How do you still have so much?! Quickly put it away, who cares about yours! Mother, don't mind her, she's just like this now. Last time she gave my brother and me five taels, and we put it away for her, we didn't squander it!"

Li Shu was very dissatisfied with Chen Ying.

She'll have to fight this cousin sooner or later.

She was good at getting along with strangers, except for the Chen family, because the Chen family was the family that the original owner recognized. She felt that being too hypocritical was not good, but she also did not want to owe others or take advantage of others, so she put everything out in the open.

“Ah Li, you were laughing at Li Chuiguang for giving the Li family clan twenty taels of silver before, have you forgotten so quickly?” Chen Feiqing immediately reminded him.

"So I'm giving you ten taels for just one day's stay. The rest is to repay your kindness in taking care of me in the past," Li Shu answered readily.

The original owner's uncle really helped her a lot in the past, otherwise she wouldn't be so generous!

Madam Zhu sighed: "Keep the money safe. If your uncle hears about it, he'll think I'm greedy and bullying a junior like you. Our family may not be rich, but we're not so poor that we can't even afford to feed a little girl like you."

“Mother…” Chen Ying quickly grabbed Zhu Shi, feeling that her words were too harsh.

Ali was already wary of them, what if she ran away again after saying this?

Li Shu wasn't that sensitive; now that she was here, she had no intention of leaving immediately.

So she brazenly said, "Since Auntie says so, I won't stand on ceremony!"

“But since we’re already here, there are some things we need to clarify to avoid any misunderstandings or discomfort between us,” Li Shu said, continuing, “I know you don’t like me, firstly because of my father, secondly because I’m weak, and thirdly… naturally because my uncle is biased and gives me all the good things, like that marriage, right?”
