Snapped!

Upon hearing the words "worthless," Yang Xiaoman could no longer contain herself. She drew Chen Man's butcher knife and slammed it hard on the stone table!

"All you ever say is 'money-losing goods,' I think you're the money-losing goods! A bunch of useless cowards who only know how to bully your own kind!"

"Still coveting my father's land? Get lost, or don't blame my butcher's knife for being merciless!"

She finally understood that her second uncle and his wife were using a high-sounding reason.

In reality, he was committing the same evil deeds as his uncle!

It's the same as taking advantage of someone else's property; it's just an excuse to put one's mind at ease.

The blade struck the stone table with a loud thud, startling Yang Chengshan and his companion.

As Yang Xiaoman continued her relentless insults, his face gradually turned ashen. He stood up in anger and shock, exclaiming:

"Yang Xiaoman, do you really think you can turn the world upside down?!"

"You don't actually think that without my intervention and your second aunt's intercession, you and your son... would be able to get any land on the day the kinship is severed, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman scoffed disdainfully and slowly pulled the butcher knife back.

The side of the knife that touched the stone table made a hissing, piercing sound.

Yang Chengshan glanced over instinctively, and his pupils immediately contracted.

Only then did she speak slowly and deliberately:

"I'm telling you this: the land allocated to my father is the lifeblood of my mother and me."

"If anyone dares to lay a finger on it, I'll risk my life!"

"I'll trade one of you for both of your families. This is a win-win situation. Since you're all dead, there's no need to divide the land anymore. It all belongs to my grandparents, my mother, and Aning. Nobody can take it away from us!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengshan's lips twitched, and he subconsciously shrank to the side.

Only then did he suddenly understand why his usually domineering sister-in-law had suffered in silence at Yang Xiaoman's hands, and had been forced by the village head to copy a three-page letter of repentance.

The eldest brother even knelt in the Yang family ancestral hall for an entire night.

So, it turns out this girl is a fearless madwoman!

"Yang Xiaoman, who are you trying to scare?"

Wu Cuihua, not knowing where she got the courage, shrank behind her husband, put her hands on her hips, and cursed in a trembling voice:

"I refuse to believe you're really capable of cutting me!"

Just as Yang Xiaoman's face darkened, Li Xiuyun exclaimed in surprise, as if she had discovered something unbelievable:

"Xiao...Xiaoman, why do you have two butcher knives on you?!"

Only then did she realize that the butcher knife in her daughter's hand was not left behind by her husband before his death.

The pig-slaughtering knife that she had tied with coarse cloth that morning was now quietly placed against the stone table by her daughter.

Two butcher knives?

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengshan was stunned.

Even Wu Cuihua subconsciously looked over, her attention drawn to the sight.

Upon hearing her mother speak, Yang Xiaoman's fierce expression softened considerably, and she calmly explained:

"Mother, this extra handful belongs to Butcher Chen from Chen Family Village."

"He spoke rudely to my father at the Qi family, so I taught him a lesson on his behalf. In the presence of the Qi family patriarch, we had a match."

"Who won?" Yang Chengshan didn't have time to be angry at the moment, he was obviously shocked by the news his niece had told him.

Although the butcher in Chenjiazhuang was not as famous as the third brother, he was still a very experienced butcher.

My own niece actually dared to challenge the other party...

What's the difference between this and courting death?

Yang Xiaoman felt her disgust for stupidity kicked in when her second uncle blurted out those words.

No wonder they only know how to bully their own kind and kill off their own offspring. With that kind of intelligence, they probably can't even beat outsiders!

"So... this butcher's knife in your hand, you won it from Butcher Yang?"

Li Xiuyun covered her mouth in surprise, unable to recover for a long time.

Although she realized what had happened, she still couldn't believe it!

Just as Yang Xiaoman was about to nod, Wu Cuihua swallowed nervously, her earlier arrogance completely gone.

She originally thought that Yang Xiaoman had only scared her older brother and sister-in-law with her crazy behavior, and that she was actually just all bark and no bite.

That's why he deliberately tested her, but who knew that even the old butcher from Chenjiazhuang would lose to his seven-year-old niece?

At that moment, all she wanted to do was back down.

But Yang Xiaoman's cold gaze suddenly turned towards them.

"Second Aunt, if you don't believe in superstitions, why don't you help me test how sharp Butcher Chen's knife is?"

"That way, we won't get Dad's butcher knife dirty."

Upon hearing this, Wu Cuihua's face turned deathly pale, as if she could already imagine the cruel scene of the butcher's knife cutting into her body.

Gollum—

She swallowed hard in fear, and beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans instantly appeared on her forehead.

"Niece, your aunt was just joking with you..."

She gave a dry laugh twice, then quickly added with an apologetic smile:

"I have no grudge against you, why are you attacking me?"

"The ones who said they wanted to take your father's land were your uncle and his wife. If you really want to settle accounts... you should go after them."

"Oh?" Yang Xiaoman put away Chen Man's butcher knife, raised her eyebrows, and said:

"But didn't my second aunt just say she would help me and my mother manage the land?"

Wu Cuihua wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Xiaoman, please don't misunderstand."

"Your auntie did want to help you and your mother keep the property safe, lest your uncle and his wife try to take advantage of it and leave you with nothing, but now even that old butcher from Chenjia Village is no match for you, so why should your auntie worry about it?"

"Your father's share of land, when the day comes for the family to be separated, your second uncle and I will stand by your side."

Standing to the side, Yang Chengshan, upon hearing his wife's forced explanation, nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice:

"Yes, yes, that's it."

After saying that, he quickly looked at Li Xiuyun and stammered:

"Third sister-in-law, we just came to let you and your daughter know."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

Before Yang Xiaoman and her son could react, Yang Chengshan grabbed his wife's hand and ran outside.

They seemed afraid that if they slowed down even a step, they would be overtaken by the raging flood behind them.

"Two cowardly bullies!"

Watching her second uncle and his wife flee in panic, Yang Xiaoman curled her lip in disdain and casually placed the pig-slaughtering knife on the wooden stool next to her.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of her mother out of the corner of her eye and realized that the other woman was staring at her blankly.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Yang Xiaoman asked a question in a low voice without thinking.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun seemed to snap out of a daze, "Xiaoman, did you really beat that old butcher from Chenjia Village?"

"How could it be fake? His butcher knife is right here!"

Yang Xiaoman said nonchalantly, completely oblivious to the deep shock in her mother's eyes, and continued:

"Mother, Butcher Chen is such a kind man. Knowing that his daughter was short of money, he said he would give five hundred cash to redeem this pig-slaughtering knife."

"He also said that for the next month, all his work would be done by his daughter. He's practically a great philanthropist."

Five hundred coins? To redeem a butcher's knife?

Li Xiuyun was completely numb; if these words hadn't come from her daughter's mouth...

She couldn't believe it; her daughter had only gone out for a short while, yet so many strange things had happened!

"Oh, right..."

Li Xiuyun suddenly paused, and subconsciously looked at Yang Xiaoman's youthful face.

"That Master Qi, did he say anything to you?"
