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

Chen Yue'e was shocked.

She knew that being a butcher was a sure way to make money.

But she never expected that her adopted niece would earn more than one tael of silver in a single day!

This amount is even equivalent to several months' worth of their own harvest!

"Huh?! What did you say?"

Upon hearing Chen Yue'e's words, Chen Man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the woman with an unfriendly gaze.

Yang Chengren's eyelids twitched in fright, and he quickly grabbed his wife's hand, hurriedly explaining:

"Wife, what nonsense are you spouting so early in the morning?"

"Butcher Chen is talking about our niece, not someone else."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Man again and said apologetically:

"My wife misspoke; I hope Butcher Chen will forgive her."

Upon hearing this, Chen Man, though sensing something was amiss, nodded silently.

The time that followed was perhaps due to embarrassment, or perhaps shock.

Yang Chengren and his companion walked silently ahead, leading the way.

Chen Man, with one hand resting on the butcher knife at his waist, slowly followed behind.

Before long, a familiar courtyard appeared in the distance.

Yang Chengren, who was ahead, suddenly stopped, released his wife's hand, and bowed slightly to Chen Man, saying:

"Butcher Chen, my niece's house is just ahead. You can go there."

"My wife and I have urgent business in town, so we can only drop you off here."

Upon hearing this, a slight smile finally appeared on Chen Man's stiff face. "Thank you for seeing me off, Brother Chen."

"When I see Butcher Yang later, I will definitely put in a good word for the two of them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren shuddered and a smile that was more like a grimace than a cry appeared on his face.

"No... that won't be necessary."

"I was just giving her a ride on my way, it's nothing to worry about. Besides, my niece has a quirky personality and has been causing a lot of trouble at home lately because of her father and Aning."

"It's better if you don't mention us, because she'll probably be a little unhappy if you do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Man's face twitched slightly, then he calmly cupped his hands in greeting and smiled indifferently:

"I see, I understand now."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard without hesitation.

Only after his figure had disappeared into the distance did Chen Yue'e raise her eyebrows and whisper sharply:

"Why did you lead this man the way? You knew he was there to help that little bitch, and we've severed ties with her, so we should have just stood by and watched."

Yang Chengren gave a wry smile. "Wife, if I don't help lead the way, how can I get so much information out of him?"

"Although Butcher Chen seems unaware of what Old Sanzang had, and it wasn't in his possession, the information he passed on to us was extremely important."

Chen Yue'e immediately pouted unhappily, and said resentfully:

"That little girl must have had some incredible luck to catch the eye of Master Han in town. All she got was a pig slaughtered, and he paid her over a tael of silver?"

"Even if you have money to burn and nowhere to spend it, this is no way to spend it!"

"Who says otherwise?" Yang Chengren sighed helplessly. "That's not even the most crucial point. Didn't you hear that Master Han even offered ten taels of silver to ask Xiaoman for help?"

"If she really agrees, she will be able to go to the Qi family to bring Yang Xiaoning home soon. In that case, given her abilities, even if our plan succeeds, the village head will probably not risk expelling her from Yangjia Village."

"Our plan to take over the third son's courtyard is likely to fail again!"

Upon hearing her husband's analysis, Chen Yue'e's face suddenly darkened.

"That bitch...it seems our previous plan might not be enough to handle her!"

"She was able to pull out a butcher's book before, so next time, as you said, if she manages to get Master Han to intervene, the village head will probably spare that girl out of respect for him."

As she said this, her teeth were grinding together.

She never imagined that the seven-year-old brat would be even more difficult to deal with than the third brother!

"Alas, it seems we are not destined for wealth and honor after all." Yang Chengren sighed, looking somewhat dejected.

"It seems there's no way we'll get that hundred taels of silver from Lord Shen."

"Who said that?"

Just then, Chen Yue'e raised her eyebrows, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.

"My wife, you still have a way?" Yang Chengren gasped in surprise.

When his wife does bad things, she seems to become a completely different person, as if at least six of her seven orifices are open!

They were no different from the scholars and officials in the county.

"There's no good way, but we can still take the crooked path!"

Chen Yue'e narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"No matter how capable Yang Xiaoman is, she still has a weakness, just like the third brother did back then. If we can't deal with her, can't we at least try to exploit her weakness?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren hesitated for a moment, "You mean my third sister-in-law? Actually, putting everything else aside, Yang Xiaoning should be our niece's Achilles' heel."

"But since she's in the Qi family, no matter how much we scheme, we wouldn't dare to target her."

"Fool!" Chen Yue'e spat lightly, expressing her disappointment in his lack of ambition.

"I'm talking about that girl, Yang Xiaoning!"

"Yang Xiaoman was trying to save Aning, which shows how deep the bond between the two sisters is. We can use this bond to our advantage and ruin that bitch!"

After saying that, she glanced at her husband, noticing his blank expression and speechless look, and then pursed her lips before continuing to explain:

"If we just find a way to send that girl Yang Xiaoning to Black Wind Mountain, once she falls into the hands of the bandits, no matter how much silver that wretched girl Yang Xiaoman scrapes together, it will be to no avail."

"Given their relationship, if she dared to go up Black Wind Mountain alone, she would probably die on the spot from the bandits' hack-and-slash!"

"In this way, our plan will succeed, right? Only that outsider surnamed Li will be squeezed out of Yangjia Village sooner or later, and the things belonging to Lao Sanzang will naturally fall into our hands."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren was shocked and exclaimed in astonishment:

"This...this isn't collusion with bandits?!"

"If this gets out, we'll be going to jail."

Chen Yue'e glared at her and retorted, "Then tell me, is there any other way?"

Yang Chengren fell silent.

"Once that girl goes to Black Wind Mountain, she'll never come back alive. Who can expose us?"

"Even if we are exposed in the future, we can ask Lord Shen for protection. After all, we were doing this for him, which is why we took the risk."

Chen Yue'e spoke slowly with a cold face, her icy hand already quietly placed on the back of Yang Chengren's neck.

"Husband, you can't just watch us watch a hundred taels of silver fly away, can you?"

The sudden cold touch made Yang Chengren shiver.

He swallowed nervously, forcing a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Mother...my wife, we'll do as you say."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'e finally lowered her hand in satisfaction.

After glancing coldly back at the courtyard, she walked towards the village entrance without hesitation.

According to the plan, the first step is to ruin Yang Xiaoman's reputation in the village!

Then, she will be drawn step by step into a deadly trap!

at the same time.

Chen Man walked to the familiar courtyard gate and gently knocked.

A knock on the door, neither too loud nor too soft, instantly broke the silence in the courtyard.
