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

Upon hearing Yang Xiaoman's blunt words, Chen Man's expression turned ugly.

After taking a deep breath, he seemed to have made up his mind and said in a deep voice:

"Then so be it, Miss Yang..."

"At 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow, Mr. Chen will definitely come to redeem the knife."

Yang Xiaoman nodded slightly, acknowledging the agreement.

Suddenly, Chen Man seemed to remember something, his face twitched violently, and then he continued with great pain:

"In addition, I would like to ask Mr. Yang to make time for me, as I will bring the client from that day to visit you."

Before Yang Xiaoman could react, he clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Then, without hesitation, he turned and left!

He was afraid that if he stayed too long, he would be so angry in front of Yang Xiaoman that he would vomit blood on the spot.

Five hundred coins! Such an exorbitant price for a butcher knife that's been used for over ten years...

Just thinking about it made him feel like he was losing out!

However, to protect his reputation and reduce the ridicule and criticism he might face, he had no choice but to comply.

"The day after tomorrow?"

Watching the burly figure gradually disappear into the distance, Yang Xiaoman immediately revealed a faint smile of triumph.

She is going to the county tomorrow for a butcher assessment, so the timing is just right.

Most importantly, Chen Man mentioned that when he came to redeem the knife the day after tomorrow, he would also bring along the person he was supposed to visit that day.

According to the bet, barring any unforeseen circumstances, all of his earnings for the next month will belong to her.

Of course, this is on the premise that the family trusts her.

Yang Xiaoman was not worried about this.

With the news of her victory over Chen Man spreading, and the fact that she will obtain the butcher's certificate tomorrow, most of the doubts will likely dissipate.

Because of the hefty sum he had been charged, Yang Xiaoman's slightly tense mood was somewhat relieved.

With a joyful heart, I returned to the market where I had first come from, and as my mother had instructed, I spent a few dozen coins to buy some rice and flour for the family.

Then they boarded the oxcart for the return journey.

As Yang Xiaoman walked back to the village and headed home, he still carried a butcher knife in one hand and several small bags of rice and noodles in the other, which immediately attracted the curious gazes of many passing villagers.

Seeing that she was indeed as she had said yesterday, having taken up the butcher's knife to support her family after the unexpected death of Butcher Yang, everyone was somewhat surprised and astonished.

In addition, there is a faint sense of detachment.

It was obvious that they had all heard the news that Yang Xiaoman was going to break the Yang family's ancestral precepts and wanted to sever ties with the family ahead of schedule.

Although Yang Chengren and his wife were at fault, ancestral precepts are still ancestral precepts, and anyone who dares to violate them should be condemned!

Yang Xiaoman clearly realized this from the micro-expressions of many villagers who passed by.

Even though she knew, she didn't care. The opinions of outsiders were as insignificant as floating clouds.

For her, completely severing ties with her unkind relatives was the best thing that brought her no harm whatsoever.

Moreover, she was very much looking forward to what kind of reward package the system would prepare for her when she signed the severance agreement with her uncle's family.

As she pondered this, Yang Xiaoman soon arrived at the open space in front of her small courtyard.

Before she even got close, she heard a noisy conversation coming from inside the courtyard, and her face suddenly changed.

not good!

Could it be that her uncle and his wife are still up to no good and are taking advantage of her being out of the village to cause trouble for her mother?!

With that in mind, Yang Xiaoman quickened her pace without hesitation.

Then he walked to the gate and suddenly pushed it open.

boom!

In an instant, the three people in the courtyard were startled by the loud noise and looked in the direction of the sound.

Looking at her mother surrounded by people around the stone table, Yang Xiaoman frowned imperceptibly.

She was very familiar with the two figures beside her mother.

It wasn't the eldest uncle and his wife as one might imagine, but rather the second uncle, Yang Chengshan, and his wife, Wu Cuihua.

"Xiaoman, you're back?"

Looking at his niece standing at the gate of the courtyard, Yang Chengshan was somewhat surprised and subconsciously stood up.

At the same time, when he looked at the pig-slaughtering knife in her hand, his pupils suddenly widened in shock.

The rumors are true; his seven-year-old niece has indeed learned his third brother's butchering skills!

"What are you standing there for? Come over here and let your second uncle take a look."

After realizing what was happening, Yang Chengshan quickly waved happily.

Yang Xiaoman frowned. If she remembered correctly, in the days since her father's accident, her second uncle seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, never to be seen again.

Now, just after the burial, he has coincidentally returned to the village and brought his second aunt to his home.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaoman walked over and placed several bags of rice and noodles on the stone table before calling out to the two of them:

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt."

Before Yang Chengshan could speak, he looked at his mother again.

"Mother, I've taken care of the Qi family's affairs, and I've brought back the rice and noodles you asked me to give you."

Hearing this, Li Xiuyun was slightly taken aback. She had subconsciously wanted to ask about the Qi family patriarch, but the words she was about to say changed her tone:

"Xiaoman, did you see Aning at the Qi family's house?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman nodded slightly. "I saw her. Apart from being a little homesick, my sister is doing quite well at the Qi family's place."

"Oh, right, before she left, Aning asked me to tell you, Mother, not to worry about her. She will stay in the Qi family and behave well. We'll pick her up and take her home in a month."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun's eyes reddened, and she choked up as she said:

"Poor Aning..."

Yang Chengshan, standing to the side, frowned and interrupted:

"Why bring Xiaoning home? Wasn't she already sold to the Qi family? She's a member of the Qi family now!"

"Besides, redeeming her and bringing her home would require a large sum of money. If you and your daughter could afford it, you wouldn't have had the heart to hand Aning over to the Qi family in the first place."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun was clearly struck where it hurt, and her face turned deathly pale.

"Second Brother..."

"Didn't you just say that Father and Mother proposed to my elder brother and his wife that on the day the ties are severed, their land should be divided into three equal parts and given to our three families?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengshan was slightly taken aback, and without thinking, he subconsciously nodded.

"That's right, but even if I say that, my eldest brother and his wife definitely won't agree, since our third brother is no longer here."

"So why don't you agree to my and your second sister-in-law's proposal? As long as you are willing to temporarily rent the land to us, on the day the family is divided and ties are severed, we will do our best to ensure that you get the share of the family property and land that belongs to the third brother."

Beside her, Wu Cuihua's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Smiling, she took Li Xiuyun's cold hand and whispered:

"Yes, third brother's wife, your second brother and I are not as greedy as the eldest brother. What belongs to your third branch should rightfully belong to you."

"Once the heat dies down and your brother and his wife stop coveting your land, we'll return it to you."

After saying that, Li Xiuyun pursed her lips tightly, but shook her head without hesitation.

"Second brother and sister-in-law, I already discussed it with Father and Mother yesterday."

"We will not give up the share of land allocated to Saburo."

"The only way to redeem Aning from the Qi family is to mortgage the land and buy it back later when we have earned enough money."

Upon hearing this, both Yang Chengshan and Wu Cuihua's expressions changed drastically.

"What? You want to sell your parents' land to redeem that worthless child you sold?!"
