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

Sima Town, Yang Chenglin?!

As soon as Cai Youjin took the butcher's book from Yang Xiaoman, he frowned subconsciously after reading it. He vaguely felt that the name looked familiar.

The next second, his eyes widened involuntarily.

Yang Chenglin... isn't he the butcher who had a grudge against the adults in the courtyard?

Thinking of this, Cai Youjin slowly put down the butcher's book in his hand, and his gaze toward Yang Xiaoman was filled with complicated emotions.

To be able to participate in the butcher assessment at such a young age is already remarkable.

She happens to be a little girl. If she can pass the test, she will undoubtedly be the number one female butcher in Shahe County!

Unfortunately, her father happened to be Yang Chenglin.

Cai Youjin shook his head with some regret. "So your father is Butcher Yang. Take my advice, why not wait two or three years before taking the assessment again?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman was stunned and subconsciously asked in return:

"Wait two or three years? Why is that?"

Even if she could wait, her younger sister, Aning, couldn't.

Moreover, without a butcher's certificate and with no established reputation, no one would believe she had the skills to be a butcher.

For example, the soldiers guarding the city gate, or that kind-hearted coachman.

"Does this mean there's an age limit for assessing butchers?"

Her expression was rather unpleasant; if that were the case, then things would be in trouble.

"No, that's not it."

Cai Youjin picked up the butcher's manual in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head, saying:

"I'm just offering a suggestion; whether you listen to it or not is up to you."

"However, all I can say is that unless you have the same skills as your father, Butcher Yang, it will all be a waste of effort."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman finally realized what was happening.

The gatekeeper in front of me was clearly implying something...

"Sir, shouldn't the requirements for a normal butcher's assessment be much higher?"

Yang Xiaoman hesitated for a moment before carefully asking:

"Could it be that today's butcher assessment... was not quite right?"

Cai Youjin was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting her to ask that question, and then looked at Yang Xiaoman with some surprise.

No wonder this girl, at such a young age, had the courage and determination to participate in the butcher's assessment. Her intelligence and wisdom truly far surpass those of her peers.

"It has nothing to do with others, it's mainly about you."

He looked around before lowering his voice and speaking.

"To tell you the truth, the official in charge of the assessment at the Tu Xing Bureau had a grudge against your father."

"So if he knew you were Butcher Yang's daughter, he would definitely deliberately make things difficult for you and do everything he could to obstruct you, unless you can demonstrate absolute strength like your father did back then, otherwise..."

His voice trailed off at the end.

"I see." Yang Xiaoman suddenly realized. Although she didn't know what the grudge was, as the gatekeeper said, this butcher assessment had obviously taken an unexpected turn.

"So, you should go back."

Cai Youjin waved his hand and handed over the butcher's certificate.

"In two or three years, that official in the institute will be transferred."

He originally thought that after making his point so clear, the butcher's daughter would probably back down.

But to Cai Youjin's surprise, Yang Xiaoman didn't reach out to take the butcher's book. Instead, she hugged the pig-slaughtering knife tightly and said without hesitation:

"Two or three years, I can't wait that long."

"Sir, you might as well inform them for me. Since we've already come all this way, we can't let this trip be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Cai Youjin's eyes widened, and then he sighed helplessly.

"How can you be so unable to distinguish between good and bad words?"

"Fine, since you insist, I won't say anything more. You'd better prepare yourself mentally."

After saying that, he put away the butcher's book in his hand and turned to walk back into the butcher's office courtyard.

Watching his departing figure, Yang Xiaoman frowned. It seemed that today's butcher assessment would be more difficult than she had imagined.

I never expected that something my mother said casually yesterday would actually come true!

If the gatekeeper hadn't lied to her, even a seasoned butcher like Chen Man would have failed in the face of his father's former enemy due to deliberate obstruction.

Fortunately, she was extremely confident in her butchering skills.

As long as the other party still has some sense of decency and doesn't openly settle personal scores, she can basically consider herself safe.

Not long after, Cai Youjin returned to the gate of the Butcher's Office, but the butcher's license in his hand had disappeared.

He sighed inwardly when he saw Yang Xiaoman.

When he handed in the butcher's certificate, he could clearly see that the official in charge of the assessment had a very strong reaction.

Furthermore, upon learning that it was Yang the butcher's daughter conducting the assessment, he revealed a rather intriguing smile.

Thinking this, Cai Youjin had already walked up to Yang Xiaoman.

"Sir, may I go in for the assessment now?"

Upon seeing him, Yang Xiaoman couldn't wait to ask, showing no sign of backing down despite the impending difficulties.

Upon hearing this, Cai Youjin gently shook his head.

"Master Yang, the butcher, Lord Shen said he is busy with official duties and does not have time to conduct the butcher assessment at the moment."

"Before that, please wait a moment, go into the Tuanxing Office, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up, and prepare for the assessment in advance."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoman's lips twitched. What was bound to happen had finally happened.

How could it be such a coincidence that I was busy with official duties?

This was clearly meant to intimidate her.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, sir."

Cai Youjin shook his head and led Yang Xiaoman into the Tu Xing Mansion.

After leading her to the side hall, they brought over a pot of hot tea and filled her teacup.

Without a second thought, Yang Xiaoman took the drink with both hands and downed it in one gulp.

She had traveled from Yangjia Village to Shahe County early in the morning, and after a long journey, she was already quite thirsty.

As for whether there was something tampered with in the tea? She wasn't worried at all.

After all, she was currently in the Tu Xing Bureau, and even if the other party had a huge grudge against her father, they would never dare to poison her there.

In her view, at most, she was deliberately made difficult during the assessment.

Even after the pot of tea was emptied, there was still no movement.

Knowing it was a show of force, Yang Xiaoman was neither angry nor surprised.

Every now and then, he would ask Cai Youjin to inquire about it.

Each time, the answer I received was that it would be soon, and the assessment would take place shortly, but nothing ever came of it.

It wasn't until noon, when the scorching sun was shining directly into the small courtyard outside the side hall, that Cai Youjin finally brought good news.

"Young Butcher Yang, the master wants you to come over."
