"You're so afraid of death, yet you dare to provoke me?"

Looking at Yang Jizong, whose face was ashen, Yang Xiaoman curled her lip in disdain.

She didn't want to lower herself to the level of a brat, but the other person thought she was easy to bully.

"I……"

Yang Jizong opened his mouth, then shrank back with a bitter expression.

He originally thought that with several companions and his cousin not yet wielding that terrifying butcher knife, he should have the upper hand.

Who would have thought that a single, casual punch from her would terrify them!

Recalling what had just happened, Yang Jizong's eyes were filled with fear. That was the Black Stone that had been guarding the river for over a hundred years!

This colossal structure, which had stood for a century and which even seven or eight able-bodied men from the village couldn't budge when they joined forces, was actually shattered by a single punch from my seven-year-old cousin?!

"I'll ask you one more time, who taught you that limerick you just recited?"

As she spoke, she gently exerted force with her right arm and lifted Yang Jizong into the air!

"I'll talk!"

Yang Jizong's voice choked with emotion, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears.

"It was...it was my stepmother who taught me."

"She said you severed ties with my parents, broke the rules of our Yangjia Village, and made my parents lose face in the village, so I..."

At this point, he sniffled and said mournfully:

"Sister Xiaoman, we were siblings for a while, even though we're not anymore, please don't kill me, okay?"

"I promise, if I see you in the village again, I'll turn tail and run!"

Second Aunt?

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman narrowed her eyes, and a decision immediately formed in her mind.

It seems that the two families had already decided on the distribution of the family property a couple of days ago, but now that she had interfered, her second aunt harbored resentment and used Yang Jizong as a pawn.

Looking at Yang Jizong's pale face, Yang Xiaoman slowly released her grip.

thump!

He landed hard on his buttocks.

Yang Jizong's lips trembled, and he almost burst into tears on the spot.

"Get out of here now?!"

As soon as Yang Xiaoman made the movement to lift his foot, he was so frightened that he quickly forced back the tears that had just been squeezed out.

He scrambled to his feet, disregarding his appearance, and fled in a panic in the opposite direction.

Before he had gone far, Yang Jizong didn't notice a small puddle ahead and suddenly fell to the ground.

Feeling a burning pain all over his body, he gritted his teeth and didn't dare to stop, but continued running forward.

It was obvious that he was more afraid of dying than of the physical pain he felt.

Watching Yang Jizong flee in a panic, Yang Xiaoman slowly withdrew her gaze.

Now it seems that my second uncle and his wife weren't any good people either.

I'll probably have to pay more attention to this from now on.

Thinking about it, she rubbed her slightly sore wrists.

She used almost two-thirds of her strength in that punch.

The impact has obviously been quite significant.

Yang Xiaoman walked to the black stone in front of the river and stared at the shocking pits and cracks that were half a meter long. She couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Her estimate was correct; if she threw a punch with all her might, she would definitely be able to kill a big fat pig!

His innate superhuman strength is terrifying!

Yang Xiaoman looked at her dust-covered fist and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

Even beginner quests yield such rewards...

So what will the new system reward be when my sister Aning comes home?!

Yang Xiaoman slowly regained her composure. Whether it was redeeming her sister from the Qi family or unlocking the next system reward, there was a prerequisite.

She had to earn three taels of silver as soon as possible to go to the Qi family!

"Patriarch Han's suggestion yesterday is worth considering..."

Yang Xiaoman thought to herself, already possessing the skill of a master butcher, now with the added blessing of innate superhuman strength, she was even more powerful!

If her father could become the Sword King of Shahe County, then she could too!

Perhaps only when she reaches that level will she be able to know the truth about her father's accidental death.

Thinking about it, she inexplicably placed her hands back on the black stone.

Then, gathering all his strength, he gently pushed upwards.

Boom boom boom!

As a sound came from beneath him, the black river-suppressing stone in front of him seemed to come alive, vibrating and rumbling incessantly.

Yang Xiaoman felt her face flush red, as if there was something unshakeable in front of her.

Until she saw with her own eyes that the black stone seemed to have lifted off the ground by half an inch, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately jumped back a step as she let go.

With a loud thud, the boulder landed heavily on the ground.

The riverbank fell silent once more.

"With that strength alone, I doubt even three or five ordinary men could get close!"

Yang Xiaoman's eyes flickered; now she could finally protect herself.

She dusted off her hands and prepared to head home, glancing back at the direction Yang Jizong had fled.

She knew that today's events would probably not end so easily.

Moreover, early in the morning at the ancestral hall, she could tell that her uncle and his wife were definitely hiding some secret.

It must be related to his father's death!

If there is any connection, it's not something that can be wiped clean by simply severing ties!

……

at the same time.

Yang Jizong looked flustered and fled towards his home without stopping.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar courtyard gate, and then looked back in fear.

Seeing that his cousin Xiaoman was nowhere to be seen, Yang Jizong's legs trembled, and he stumbled toward the courtyard gate.

crunch--

Suddenly the courtyard gate opened, and Chen Yue'e poked half her body out. Without even looking, she casually poured the dirty water from the wooden basin into the open space in front of the courtyard.

Wow!

She immediately made a move to close the door.

"mother……"

Suddenly, a low, choked sob came from outside the courtyard.

Chen Yue'e shuddered, and the wooden basin in her hand slipped from her grasp and crashed to the ground.

She peered out of the yard in disbelief, then gasped sharply:

"Zong...Zong'er, what happened to you and you look like this?"

"Did he fall into the river?"

As she spoke, her voice suddenly rose in pitch and became much sharper.

Perhaps feeling lingering fear, or perhaps frightened by his mother's attitude, tears welled up in Yang Jizong's eyes instantly.

His wet body collapsed to the ground with a thud, shivering.

"Mother! Sister Xiaoman...she's trying to kill me!"
