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

"How's the matter going?"

Only after closing the courtyard gate did Chen Yue'e look at her husband and ask in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren's expression tightened, and he sighed, saying:

"It was done, but it almost cost me my life."

"My lady, Black Wind Mountain... it's not a place anyone can venture into! If it weren't for Lord Shen's letter, I wouldn't dare go even if you gave me a hundred lives!"

Hearing this, Chen Yue'e curled her lip in disdain, "Look at you, so spineless!"

"You know we have Lord Shen backing us up, so what's there to be afraid of? Do you think the bandits of Black Wind Mountain are all human-faced demons who can devour you alive on the spot?"

Yang Chengren was furious after being scolded by his wife, but he dared not utter a single word in rebuttal.

After a long while, he hummed softly:

"My lady, how are things on your end? Have the people in our village believed that sorcerer's words?"

He returned in such a hurry that he didn't pay attention to anything else; all he wanted to do was rush back and deliver the message.

"Of course!" Chen Yue'e raised her eyebrows smugly and put her hands on her hips, saying:

"With me in charge, how could anything go wrong?"

"But we also have to thank that bitch. Of all people to bully, she just happened to bully my Jizong. If she hadn't added fuel to the fire by exaggerating the matter of her destroying the Zhenhe Black Stone, things probably wouldn't have been this simple!"

At this point, she suddenly frowned, "However, the problem is that most people in our village believe it without a doubt, but our local leader insists on standing on Yang Xiaoman's side."

"You didn't see his ashen face; it made me wonder if he was having an affair with the third son's wife!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren's expression changed drastically, and he whispered a rebuke:

"My lady, you can't just say things like that!"

Chen Yue'e glared back, grabbed his ear, and shouted angrily:

"You've gone too far! How dare you yell at me like that?!"

"You don't really think that once you get your hands on the third brother's stuff, you can just sit on my head and shit and piss there, do you?"

Yang Chengren gasped in pain, his face contorted in agony as he waved his hands repeatedly, saying:

"I was wrong, please spare my life, my lady!"

Seeing him beg for mercy, Chen Yue'e finally released her grip, raised her eyebrows, and said coldly:

"By the way, you should have won over Yang Xiaoning by now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren rubbed his bright red ears and whispered:

"My wife, you can rest assured."

"I told her that if she couldn't sneak out this time, she would never see her mother and Xiaoman again in her life."

"Moreover, after I left the Qi family, I deliberately found a place to hide in advance, until I saw Yang Xiaoning arrive at the agreed location and be kidnapped by the bandits."

"Otherwise, why would I be back so late? I almost missed the last oxcart!"

After she finished speaking, Chen Yue'e revealed a faint smile, "You're not bad at being clever. This time, we'll definitely be able to take down that brat Yang Xiaoman and vent our anger!"

"And let her know that in this Yangjia Village, the only person who dares to fight with me hasn't even been born yet!"

After saying that, she glanced at Yang Chengren, who was chuckling sheepishly, and said slowly:

"You've worked hard today. The food is already in the pot; I've saved it for you."

"Those two old geezers cooked it. After they found out what happened in the village today, they haven't been eating or drinking and have been hiding in their houses. They're such ingrates."

"We're eating our food and remembering how good your third son is. Once we get the goods, we'll discuss dividing the family property equally with the second son, and then the three of us will move to town, so we won't have to take care of those two burdens anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren pursed his lips and whispered:

"My wife, I will always do as you say."

……

When Yang Xiaoman woke up, it was already completely dark.

She glanced at the thick clothes that had slipped to the ground, paused for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards the kitchen.

Through the paper window, the dim yellow light of a kerosene lamp flickered occasionally.

"It's so late, is Mother still busy preparing?"

Yang Xiaoman was somewhat surprised. After rubbing her aching arms and legs, she walked towards the kitchen.

As the kitchen door slowly opened, it revealed the mother's back as she busily kneaded dough.

Seemingly hearing the noise, Li Xiuyun subconsciously turned around and smiled when she saw Yang Xiaoman at the door. "Xiaoman, you're awake?"

"Mom also steamed some cured pork buns for you. Do you want some now?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman shook her head without hesitation. She had been enjoying most of the meal at the Lin family's house by herself, so she was naturally not hungry yet.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet? We're leaving for town first thing tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun replied with a smile:

"How can I sleep at night thinking about going to the Qi family tomorrow and bringing your sister Aning home?"

"Instead of wasting time lying in bed, I'd rather prepare more food for you and Aning, so we don't run out of time to cook tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman sighed helplessly and said:

"Mother, if I had known you would be so agitated, I should have had Master Lin take me directly to the Qi family in town and bring Aning home. That way, you wouldn't have to lose a good night's sleep tonight."

Seeing her daughter's helpless expression, Li Xiuyun couldn't help but smile and quickly changed the subject:

"Alright, after I finish steaming this pot of cured pork and wild vegetable meatballs, whether I'm sleepy or not, I'll go back to my room and lie down."

Seeing that her mother had gone this far, Yang Xiaoman naturally couldn't say anything more, so she went to the stove and took on the task of passing the fire.

Only after a pot of freshly made cured pork and wild vegetable meatballs was ready did the mother and daughter return to their respective rooms.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Yang Xiaoman was awakened by the crowing of roosters in the village. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and couldn't help but yawn.

Although she was exhausted from yesterday's trip to the Lin family, she still earned a lot of money.

With the sumptuous meal she enjoyed and the two naps she took after returning home, she is now back to her energetic self.

"After we arrive at the Qi family and redeem my sister, I'll find a moment to send Mother away so I can ask Master Qi about the hidden story behind Father's accident!"

Yang Xiaoman thought to herself, then turned over and got out of bed.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw her mother already at the stone table in the courtyard, packing her belongings for the day's trip.

Besides the three taels of silver used to redeem my sister, I also brought a good amount of cured meat and wild vegetable meatballs that were just the right amount from last night.

Seeing her mother's enthusiasm, Yang Xiaoman didn't say anything more. After a quick wash, the two left the courtyard.

We arrived at the village entrance and waited for a while before we saw the oxcart heading to the town.
