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

Boom!Boom!

Upon hearing the knock on the door in the courtyard, Yang Xiaoman immediately perked up and stood up to go over.

As the courtyard gate creaked open, Chen Man's tall and muscular figure was revealed.

Looking at Yang Xiaoman's familiar little face, his ferocious and terrifying face suddenly forced out an incongruous friendly smile.

"Young Butcher Yang, am I not late?"

He was initially somewhat resentful of Yang the butcher's daughter.

It wasn't until yesterday at the Han family home, when he witnessed the One-Eyed Knife King being easily defeated, that Chen Man was completely convinced.

Even if he can't beat Yang Daowang, he can still find an excuse for himself: given time, he will surely surpass him.

He can't even compare to Yang Daowang's seven-year-old daughter, so how can he surpass her? Surpass what?

In terms of age, the other person couldn't even match the length of time he had been in the butchering industry!

In terms of potential, he is far behind!

"You've come at the perfect time. By the way...did Butcher Chen have breakfast before he arrived?"

"If you don't mind, why not have a simple meal here?"

Faced with Chen Man's friendliness, Yang Xiaoman was somewhat surprised, but she instantly understood what was going on.

"No, no need, I already ate this morning before I left home."

Chen Man was somewhat flattered and quickly waved his hand.

"Well... then please wait a moment, Butcher Chen, while I finish my breakfast before we head out of the village to run errands."

As Yang Xiaoman spoke, she led Chen Man into the courtyard.

Then he sat back down at the stone table, grabbed some wild vegetable buns, and started eating faster.

Beside her, Chen Man suddenly widened his eyes, staring at the mountain of wild vegetable buns piled up in front of her.

He immediately gasped.

hiss!

Could this be the simple meal that Yang Xiaotu mentioned?

In an ordinary household, this would be enough to feed at least six or seven people.

"Perhaps that's the amount for three meals a day?"

Thinking of this, Chen Man couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Yang Xiaotuhu is only seven years old. Even if his stomach is as big as an ox, it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?

However, his vision was soon shattered by reality.

Before long, while Chen Man had finished looking at everything, Yang Xiaoman still didn't stop stuffing wild vegetable buns into her mouth.

The "mountain" in the winnowing basket in front of me has gradually dwindled by more than half.

Gollum—

Watching this shocking scene, Chen Man quietly swallowed.

But the next second, an inappropriate sound came from her stomach.

In order to save time, he naturally left home without having time to eat breakfast in the morning.

He could have held back until he went to the host's house, but now that he saw Yang Xiaoman eating so heartily, how could he resist?

The commotion, neither too loud nor too soft, was heard by Yang Xiaoman. She looked at Chen Man in surprise, and the latter immediately blushed.

"Cough cough."

Chen Man coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed, and was about to explain when he suddenly saw her reach out and hand him a steamed bun without hesitation.

"Butcher Chen, you've done me a great favor by introducing me to business. Please don't be shy about offering me a couple of wild vegetable buns, okay?"

Seeing his surprised look, Yang Xiaoman smiled calmly, waved the wild vegetable bun in her hand, and gestured for the other person to take it.

"Then thank you, Butcher Yang."

Chen Man hesitated for a moment, then carefully took the wild vegetable bun with both hands.

At this moment, Li Xiuyun also came out of the kitchen with two bowls of hot soup and placed them in front of the two of them.

"The morning air is chilly, so have a bowl of hot soup to warm yourself up before you set off."

As she spoke, she slowly sat down next to Yang Xiaoman, her face showing affection.

"Butcher Chen, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter these past few days."

"If it weren't for you the other day, Xiaoman probably wouldn't have had the chance to go to the Han family, let alone receive that large sum of money as a reward."

Upon hearing this, Chen Man nearly dropped the wild vegetable bun in her hand.

Where is this protection?

He was clearly the one who provoked first, and then he got slapped in the face and lost the bet!

"Ahem." Chen Man coughed somewhat awkwardly, then quickly said:

"Madam Yang, you're too kind. Introducing people for jobs is just a common practice."

"Moreover, it is truly my good fortune to have met Yang the Butcher. If she can become the butcher of our Shahe County in the future..."

Halfway through his speech, Yang Xiaoman suddenly coughed with a strange expression, interrupting Chen Man's continued remarks.

Her father's death was related to the battle for the Sword King, so she naturally didn't want her mother to know beforehand.

Seeing the look she gave him, Chen Man couldn't help but shiver, then suddenly realized what she meant and quickly changed the subject:

"What I mean is, with Yang the butcher's skills, he'll probably become the best butcher in Shahe County in no time, rivaling even the former Yang the butcher's prowess!"

"By following her, I can learn some skills. In the long run, it's a sure thing."

Seeing her daughter being praised so highly by the old butcher, Li Xiuyun's smile widened even more.

He then walked to the front of the house, picked up the pig-slaughtering knife wrapped in coarse cloth, and gently placed it on the wooden stool where his daughter was sitting.

At this time, there were still a few wild vegetable buns left in the winnowing basket on the stone table.

Yang Xiaoman didn't reach for it again. Instead, she picked up a handkerchief to wipe her mouth and said as she stood up:

"Mother, then I'm going out with Butcher Chen."

Li Xiuyun was surprised. "Xiaoman, why don't you have a good appetite today? You can't even finish this little bit?"

"Let me wrap this in a cloth for you to take with you on the road so you won't get hungry."

After yesterday's experience, she naturally knew her daughter's current appetite; a bowl of cornbread was hardly enough for her.

Beside him, Chen Man's lips twitched suddenly.

This? Are you referring to that mountain of wild vegetable buns we just saw?

"No need." Yang Xiaoman shook her head gently and picked up the wrapped pig-slaughtering knife.

"Mother, aren't you also going to town to sell bamboo baskets? You also need to buy some rice and noodles on the way back. If you don't eat enough, how will you have the energy to make the round trip?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, then a warm feeling washed over her.

It turns out that these few wild vegetable buns in front of me were not because my daughter couldn't finish them, but because they were specially saved for her.

"Yes, Madam Yang, the host we visited this time is very generous. They've treated me several times, and each time they've kept me for pork soup. I suppose they won't let Yang the little butcher go hungry."

After recovering from his shock, Chen Man quickly offered his advice.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun could only nod slightly.

"Xiaoman, be careful on your way."

"Okay, Mother." Yang Xiaoman grinned, casually slung the pig-slaughtering knife over her shoulder, and then left the courtyard with Chen Man.

It wasn't until the two reached the distant edge of the field that she looked back at the courtyard and saw that the gate had been quietly closed.

"Yang the Butcher".

Before they had gone a few steps, Chen Man, who was following beside him, suddenly stopped, a look of hesitation on his face.

There's something I'm not sure if I should say.

He originally didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs.

But then I thought, with Yang Xiaoman's abilities, he will surely shine brightly in Shahe County in the future!

If he can befriend him, he will surely reap many benefits in the future.

Seeing the troubled look on Chen Man's face, Yang Xiaoman paused for a moment, then said without hesitation:

"Butcher Chen, please speak plainly."
