Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic

"Severing ties?!"

Yang Cong'an gasped sharply, clearly knowing what those two words truly meant!

The ancestral precept of Yangjia Village is: while parents are still alive, sons do not separate from the family!

It was obvious that Butcher Yang's daughter intended to completely nail her uncle and his wife to the pillar of shame!

Any changes in family relationships are recorded in the family genealogy, along with an explanation of the reasons.

This means that if the Yang family lineage can be passed down for a thousand years, then Yang Chengren and his wife will be infamous for a thousand years!

"Isn't this... a bit too harsh?"

Seeing the villagers of Yangjia Village discussing amongst themselves, Yang Cong'an quickly lowered his voice and advised them.

"Where is the ruthlessness?"

Yang Xiaoman didn't even lift her eyelids, a mocking smile curving her lips.

"Could anything be more ruthless than someone coming to my door to exploit someone who has no descendants, before my father has even died and been buried?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an fell silent, losing all interest in helping to negotiate peace.

With the family's breadwinner gone, the mother and son were already struggling.

They even dared to take advantage of the situation to try and extort money from the destitute; those two are truly worse than animals!

"Niece, we're family after all..."

Yang Chengren said, almost pleadingly.

When he saw the village head's expression, he was terrified and knew there was no way to back down.

Even Chen Yue'e, who was always arrogant, was completely silent.

"Once the kinship is severed, it is no longer the same."

Yang Xiaoman remained unmoved. If she wanted to be a pushover, she would have chosen to make peace with her uncle and his wife when she first threatened them with a butcher knife.

But she didn't. She would rather risk losing the system than be a pushover!

However, to Yang Xiaoman's relief, perhaps due to her insistence, the system showed no reaction whatsoever to the situation of severing ties, as if it had already accepted the fact.

She even had a premonition that the system might be secretly preparing something big for her the moment she signed the severance agreement with her uncle and his wife!

"Third sister-in-law, for the sake of our third brother... He valued family ties most when he was alive. If he were here, he certainly wouldn't stand by and watch our two families fight each other and become enemies."

Seeing that he could not persuade his niece, Yang Chengren had no choice but to turn his attention to Li Xiuyun, and even moved his third brother, who had just been buried, to help him.

"If he were still alive, I'm afraid you two wouldn't dare to even think about eating the childless one, even if you had a hundred lives."

Li Xiuyun didn't hold back in her sarcasm, because of these two people, her husband's butcher knife was about to be taken away, which made her feel somewhat resentful.

"You're supposed to be the older brother, don't you know that Xiaoman and Xiaoning... were the ones Sanlang cared about most when he was alive?"

"If he knew you two were actually planning to sell his precious daughter to an old bachelor, he'd probably be climbing into your bed tonight to settle the score!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chengren trembled, and a look of terror appeared in his eyes.

"Alright, whether or not to break off the relationship... is a matter for your family."

Yang Cong'an sighed deeply and rubbed his slightly sore temples.

His gaze immediately fell on Yang Chengren and the other man, and he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

"You two must write a letter of repentance for your misdeeds today and kneel in the Yang family ancestral hall as punishment. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren shook his head with a mournful face.

The village head's meaning was clear: he would not interfere in the matter of severing ties between the two families, but instead would punish the couple.

Yang Xiaoman was about to frown and speak, having made up her mind to have the two of them sign the letter of severance on the spot.

Before she could speak, her mother grabbed her arm and gently shook her head at her.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoman had no choice but to give up.

At the same time, Yang Cong'an's gaze also fell on her.

"Although your uncle and his wife were wrong, what they said is true. The butcher Yang's pig-slaughtering knife left behind... should be handed over in accordance with the law."

Although he was reluctant to do so, countless eyes were watching him, and any bias would surely damage his prestige.

"Lord Village Head, may I ask what the reason is for submitting this?"

Yang Xiaoman remained composed, still carrying the butcher knife, and raised her head to ask.

Clearly, she had no intention of handing it over.

"Those who are not butchers are not allowed to possess pig-slaughtering knives."

Yang Cong'an frowned, but still explained the truth.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman revealed a strange smile. "Uncle Zheng, what exactly qualifies someone as a butcher?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an sighed.

"Like your father, just being registered in the county is enough."

"If your father has a son, the position can be passed down through generations, and he can inherit your father's butcher's knife and become a butcher."

"A son?" Yang Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. "Can't a daughter do it?"

Yang Cong'an was slightly taken aback, subconsciously looking at the young yet confident face in front of him, and then hesitated before saying:

"This... I've never heard of it."

"However, although there is no precedent, there is no explicit prohibition either, so it is probably permitted."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Yang Xiaoman raise the long, thin piece of pork belly high in the air.

Because his attention was focused on the butcher's knife, he hadn't even noticed the meat she was carrying.

Some villagers had already spotted it in front of the courtyard, but they didn't dare to say a word.

"Uncle Village Head, then there's no problem."

"From this day forward, I, Yang Xiaoman, will take my father's place... and become the new butcher of Yangjia Village!"

As he spoke, Yang Xiaoman flicked his wrist, and the pig-slaughtering knife in his hand danced in mid-air.

She immediately reversed her grip on the knife handle and plunged the tip deep into the ground.

With his free right hand, Yang Cong'an pulled a crumpled money pouch out of his pocket, under his shocked gaze.

That was the reward she received for slaughtering pigs for Ma Youtian, exactly one hundred coins.

"You...you, a seven-year-old girl, want to be a butcher? Are you kidding me?!"
