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

"Well……"

Chen Man blushed, clearly not expecting that Yang Xiaoman had already seen through him.

"Ahem, nothing can hide from Butcher Yang."

He rolled up his sleeves and lowered his voice, speaking furtively:

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that Master Han values ​​your skills, Miss Yang, and wants you to represent the Han family in the Sword King competition in Shahe County in the future."

"He assures you that as long as the girl agrees, the payment is negotiable."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoman raised an eyebrow; she wasn't surprised by the answer.

This is merely confirmation.

"And what about you, Butcher Chen?"

She suddenly realized that Chen Man in front of her... seemed to be the butcher originally intended for the Han family.

If I take this spot, there will be no place for Chen Man.

Upon hearing this, Chen Man immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"I was just going through the motions. If Wu Chen hadn't suddenly appeared, I might have been able to compete for the top spot in Sima Town."

"Besides, there's you here, young lady, so I don't need to join in the fun. Anyway, the Han family's money has already been received, so even if Master Han wants to change people at the last minute, there's no need to refund the money."

As he said this, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"But for you, Miss Yang, Master Han is willing to spend a fortune."

"I'll give you this amount if you agree."

As he spoke, Chen Man made a "ten" gesture.

"Ten taels of silver is just a reward."

"If the young lady truly becomes the Sword King, then Master Han will reward her handsomely."

Ten taels of silver?!

Upon hearing this number, Yang Xiaoman instinctively clutched the butcher knife in her arms tighter.

Han Feng's generosity clearly surprised her.

This means that if she agrees, she can redeem her sister from the Qi family.

The remaining money would allow the family to live comfortably and easily overcome difficulties.

"Miss Yang, please don't think it's too little."

Seeing that she remained silent, Chen Man scratched his head awkwardly and lowered his voice even further.

"Although this reward is a bit less for you, far less generous than what Master Wang has given, the Han family never intended to compete for the title of Sword King in the first place."

"It is precisely because the young lady displayed her skills today that Patriarch Han has seen hope, therefore..."

Halfway through her sentence, Yang Xiaoman waved her hand, as if she thought it wasn't enough.

Are you kidding me!

At a price of one hundred coins, that's enough for her to slaughter one hundred pigs!

"Thank you for helping to convey the message, Butcher Chen. I will consider it carefully later. Whether I agree or not, I will definitely give Patriarch Han an answer within three days."

Yang Xiaoman cupped her hands in greeting, but ultimately chose to suppress her inner impulse.

Just now at the Han family compound, she unexpectedly learned that her father died on the very day he became the Sword King.

Before learning the truth about that day, she naturally wouldn't rashly wade into this mess.

"Then I will instruct Master Han to wait patiently for the young lady's good news."

Chen Man quickly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

After witnessing her swordsmanship, he no longer dared to treat Yang Xiaoman as a seven-year-old girl.

His words carried a hint of respect and admiration.

Yang Xiaoman nodded slightly, then leaned against the carriage with the butcher's knife in his arms, pretending to doze off.

She remained silent the entire way, only slowly opening her eyes when the carriage stopped.

Looking out the window, I saw that we had indeed arrived at the familiar entrance to Lijia Village.

After politely bidding farewell to Chen Man, Yang Xiaoman stepped off the carriage, immediately attracting the attention of several women at the village entrance.

The moment they saw her, everyone's gaze shifted from envy and confusion to utter astonishment.

Feeling several curious gazes fixed on her, Yang Xiaoman made no attempt to conceal the pig-slaughtering knife she was carrying, and walked expressionlessly toward her own courtyard.

Along the way, no one dared to approach and speak to them.

After all, after these past few days of development, the news of her ruthless "murder of her relatives" has spread throughout the entire Yangjia Village.

Everyone says that Butcher Yang is a kind and good-hearted man, but he ended up with such a crazy daughter. He probably won't rest in peace even in the afterlife.

These words, of course, did not reach Yang Xiaoman's ears.

Not long after, gazing at her familiar little courtyard in the distance, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her youthful face.

The next second, she froze, because she saw that her own courtyard gate was wide open.

Since my father's unexpected death, coupled with my uncle and his wife's behavior of squandering their inheritance, my mother has been keeping the courtyard gate closed or slightly ajar even during the day.

"Could it be that knowing I wasn't in the village, my uncle and his wife came to cause trouble again?!"

Realizing this, Yang Xiaoman's expression changed slightly, and her movements quickened.

However, when she arrived at the door and saw everything in the courtyard, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the small courtyard, Mother was struggling to hold up a wooden axe with both hands and forcefully chop down at the firewood in front of her!

boom!

The axe struck the wood precisely, just missing the edge, before crashing heavily to the ground.

Li Xiuyun wiped the sweat from her forehead and was about to grit her teeth and continue when she suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the courtyard gate.

I instinctively turned around and saw my daughter standing in front of the courtyard gate, holding that all-too-familiar pig-slaughtering knife.

"Xiaoman, you're back so soon?" Li Xiuyun couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

Clearly, this means that her daughter's trip went smoothly as usual, and the unexpected event she was worried about did not happen.

"Mother, it was Master Han who specially sent a horse-drawn carriage to take our daughter back to the village. Otherwise, how could an oxcart have gone so fast?"

Seeing that her mother was safe and sound, Yang Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief and went into the yard to put the pig-slaughtering knife on the stone table.

Upon seeing the teapot on the table, he was taken aback.

"Mom, did we have guests over just now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun's smile froze, and she sighed, saying:

"Who else could it be? It's naturally your second uncle and aunt."

"The family is splitting up tomorrow, how could they sit still? So they came to persuade them again."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman narrowed her eyes, and her face suddenly turned cold.

"Are they still eyeing the share of the inheritance that should have gone to my father?"

"That's right." Li Xiuyun nodded gently, naturally deciding not to hide it from her daughter, so she didn't try to conceal anything at this moment.

Since her husband's unexpected death, the daughter has taken on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family.

In this family, it's naturally Xiaoman's turn to be in charge.

"But they didn't say it explicitly, they were just advising us to give up the land that belonged to your father."

"Wishful thinking!" Yang Xiaoman raised her eyebrows and said without hesitation.

"They can't take a single cent of what should have been given to my father!"

Li Xiuyun sighed, "That's what Mother said too, but your second uncle also mentioned that although your father is entitled to a share of the family property, he is no longer alive and will not be able to support you two in the future..."

"Therefore, those fields should rightfully belong to whoever supports the elderly."

"It's said that this was your uncle and his wife's idea. You know, your grandparents live with them."

As she said this, her face was full of worry.

"If we don't do what they want, I'm afraid the old couple's future will be uncertain..."
