Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic
Chapter 11 Examination and Registration of Butchers
"Xiaoman, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing Yang Cong'an's shocked expression, Li Xiuyun's face changed instantly, and she subconsciously prepared to grab her daughter's arm.
But when he saw the heavy money bag in her hand, his hand, which was hanging in mid-air, suddenly stopped.
Could it be that my daughter really did something for the Ma family?!
Before she could even ask, Yang Xiaoman turned and looked at her helplessly.
"Mother, I slaughtered a pig in Majia Village today. This is the payment from the master."
"Before leaving, the host family even gave us a piece of pork belly."
The calm voice slowly resonated in everyone's hearts, yet at this moment it was no less than a thunderclap.
Yang Cong'an subconsciously swallowed, a crazy idea popping into his head.
He suddenly felt that what the butcher Yang's daughter said was very likely true!
The moment the thought arose, even he was startled.
Are you kidding me?!
"This is……"
Li Xiuyun took the money bag in shock and opened it subconsciously.
Then, in front of everyone, he began to take inventory.
Everyone in front of the courtyard held their breath, watching the scene unfold before them.
Even when Chen Yue'e raised her eyebrows and was about to make a sarcastic remark, Yang Chengren hurriedly pulled her back.
With the authorities present, if they cause any more trouble, they might face even more severe consequences!
"Wasn't it supposed to be eighty coins? Why is there an extra twenty coins?!"
After counting the coins, Li Xiuyun stood there in a daze, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
"The extra money was a celebratory gift from the horse owner."
Yang Xiaoman raised her eyebrows with a hint of smugness, then her gaze fell on Yang Cong'an.
The other person was staring at her in surprise, and she followed their gaze downwards.
Then you can see a few brownish-red dots on the toe of the right shoe, which were obviously splashed on by accident at the pig slaughtering site.
"Uncle Village Head, anyone who can slaughter pigs can be a butcher. My father's pig-slaughtering knife... shouldn't it still be allowed to remain in operation?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Majia Village and ask Ma Youtian. He is the person I'm visiting today."
Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an's lips twitched, and he shook his head, feeling a pang of emotion.
"You've already received your payment; what could be more convincing than money?"
"You can keep the pig-slaughtering knife, but you must remember that it's only for killing pigs, never for threatening others, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. The village head in front of her was actually quite easy to talk to!
She pulled the butcher knife out of the ground. "Don't worry, Uncle Village Chief. My father said before he died, 'I won't offend others unless they offend me.'"
As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Yang Chengren and the other man hiding behind the village head, and abruptly changed the subject.
"However, he also said..."
"If someone offends me, I'll stab them first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yue'e's lips trembled.
She could naturally tell that Yang Xiaoman's last sentence was clearly addressed to her and her husband.
Could it be... that we really have to write a letter severing ties within seven days, as she said?
"Your father is really something, instead of teaching his daughter needlework, he insists on teaching her..."
Towards the end, Yang Cong'an sighed and didn't continue the topic.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang the butcher's daughter was skilled with a butcher's knife at such a young age, she and her mother would probably have ended up being eaten alive and left without any offspring.
"By the way, don't forget to take some time to go to the county to take the butcher exam and register. Only then can you truly inherit your father's butcher qualification and become a legal butcher."
"However... you are still young, only a seven-year-old girl, so the process may not be so smooth."
Yang Cong'an felt somewhat helpless. In his view, it was almost inevitable that Yang Xiaoman would be made things difficult for him.
The old-fashioned folks in the county would probably find it hard to accept a little girl becoming a butcher.
If this precedent is set, and the news spreads to neighboring counties, they'll probably laugh at Anhe County for having all the men dead!
It's just unknown how much of Yang Xiaoman's skill Yang the butcher had learned. If it was more than 50%, even if she really faced difficulties...
This should be easily resolved, since in the face of true strength, any doubts are as worthless as clay chickens and earthenware dogs.
"I understand, Uncle Village Head. No matter how difficult it is, I will give it a try."
Yang Xiaoman didn't take it to heart at all.
With her current abilities, if she still can't get past the county's hurdle...
Then there are probably very few people in the whole world who can be a butcher!
"Alright, have you had enough of the show? Let's all go home."
Yang Cong'an turned to look at the villagers who had gathered to watch the commotion, and when his gaze fell on Yang Chengren and the other man, a hint of disgust flashed across his face.
"As for the two of you, come to my house tomorrow."
The punishments of writing a letter of repentance and kneeling in the ancestral hall are not just empty words.
The villagers who had come to join in the fun were still somewhat reluctant to leave, but since the village head had already spoken, they had no choice but to leave one after another.
Soon, the once bustling courtyard returned to its quiet state.
As Yang Chengren and his companion fled in disgrace, Yang Xiaoman did not forget to "thoughtfully" remind them of the letter of severance.
"Mother, I didn't lie to you, did I? I'm a butcher now, just like Father!"
After everyone had gone far away, Yang Xiaoman raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and didn't forget to pick up the pork belly and wave it in front of her mother.
"Your father is being silly, he actually secretly taught you." Li Xiuyun shook her head helplessly, but her eyes were filled with undisguised joy.
This was the first piece of good news she had heard since her husband's unexpected death.
"However, as the village head just said, you can only become a real butcher after you have passed the assessment in the county."
There was a hint of worry in her eyes. When working for the family, the other party might be too soft-hearted to hold her daughter accountable for minor details.
But the county's assessment is very rigorous and doesn't tolerate any cheating.
"That's easy, leave it to our daughter."
Without hesitation, Yang Xiaoman patted his chest and handed over the pork belly.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Li Xiuyun accepted it with a smile, and then gently patted her daughter's head with a touch of tenderness.
Then he turned around and went into the courtyard.
……
Smoke curled from the chimneys, filling the courtyard with the enticing aroma of food.
Yang Xiaoman sat down at the stone table and began to wolf down his rice.
Slaughtering pigs is physically demanding, and coupled with leaving early in the morning, she was already starving.
Suddenly, her chopsticks, which had been moving incessantly, stopped moving.
"Mother, why aren't you eating?"
Yang Xiaoman looked at her mother, who seemed preoccupied.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun forced a smile and said:
"Mother isn't hungry, so she doesn't have much of an appetite."
Just then, an untimely gurgling sound quietly rang out.
Li Xiuyun was taken aback, then sighed.
"I won't hide it from you anymore. Your grandparents will be coming to our house after dark."
"Is it because of your uncle and his wife?" Yang Xiaoman frowned. It concerned the system's newbie gift pack, and she was determined to sever ties with her uncle's family no matter what!
No amount of persuasion from anyone could change anything.
Li Xiuyun gently shook her head. "Not entirely."
"Your parents will definitely try to dissuade you from severing ties, but they came here this time because of the Qi family's affairs."
"The Qi family?"
Yang Xiaoman blinked blankly.
The next second, she suddenly remembered the whispers her uncle and his wife had made outside the house when she first transmigrated.
The Qi family...aren't they the buyers who bought my sister with money?
