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

Sima Town, market town.

As soon as Yang Xiaoman jumped off the oxcart, she eagerly pulled her mother to the stall where she had bought candied hawthorns that day.

"Xiaoman, you're so thoughtful of yourself as the older sister."

Seeing her daughter skillfully take out a few copper coins and accept the candied hawthorn from the vendor, Li Xiuyun couldn't help but smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. "Of course, Aning is so young, she must have suffered a lot during her time with the Qi family."

"In the days to come, we will naturally try our best to make up for it."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun's expression darkened.

"Mother." As if sensing the change in her mother's emotions, Yang Xiaoman smiled faintly and gently placed the candied hawthorn into her hand.

"What's past is past. From now on, the three of us, mother and daughters, must live well together."

"No matter who tries to break us up, I will fight to the death to prevent them from succeeding!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuyun paused slightly, a helpless smile appearing on her face.

"You! It's true that you learned your father's skills, but you're nowhere near as steady and honest as him."

"The three of us can live a good life. With Yang Lizheng helping us this time, no one will dare to mess with us in the future."

After saying that, she took Yang Xiaoman's hand.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

"It's time for us, mother and daughter... to give Aning a surprise!"

The two figures moved quickly through the bustling market.

A dazzling array of stalls lined both sides of the street, attracting curious onlookers from passersby.

But Yang Xiaoman did not stop at all.

At that moment, she and her mother had only one thought.

That means we must go to the Qi family as soon as possible and redeem my sister!

Once the family is reunited, the mother and her two children can take advantage of the early hour to stroll around the town market and buy some of Aning's favorite foods or new clothes.

Following their previous memories, the two walked through the alley and saw the Qi family's house with its blue brick and tile walls as soon as they reached the alley entrance.

"We've finally arrived!"

Yang Xiaoman's eyes had just shown a hint of joy when they suddenly froze.

She looked at the front of the Qi family compound, where the gate was wide open and many people were gathered around.

"Has something happened to the Qi family?"

Li Xiuyun also witnessed this scene, and her expression immediately tightened. She subconsciously asked a question.

"Otherwise, why would so many people be watching?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman composed herself slightly, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

"Mother, let's go take a look quickly."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Xiuyun had already quickened her pace.

As the two approached, they heard the onlookers discussing amongst themselves.

"Have you heard? Last night, a young lady from Master Qi's family went missing. They say she was kidnapped by bandits from Black Wind Mountain!"

"Hiss! Those ruthless bandits have actually set their sights on Master Qi this time? Even if the Qi family is wealthy, they're probably going to suffer a lot! Those mountain bandits are known for their ruthless nature and exorbitant prices."

"Shedding what skin? Don't you know that the kidnapped young lady is not Master Qi's biological daughter, but a child bride he paid for?"

"What?! That's nothing. It seems even the bandits of Black Wind Mountain can make mistakes. She was just a child bride bought with money. Even if they killed her, they can just find another one."

……

Qi Jia, a child bride?!

At the back of the crowd, Yang Xiaoman clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with intense anger and regret.

She never expected that just when she had finally scraped together three taels of silver and was able to come to the Qi family to redeem her sister, she would hear the news that Aning had been kidnapped by bandits!

She never imagined that this would happen just last night. If she had rushed to the Qi family as soon as she received the money yesterday, perhaps her sister Aning's situation would be different now...

"Xiaoman, what they're talking about... is it Aning?"

Just then, Li Xiuyun's face turned completely pale, and she asked in disbelief.

Before Yang Xiaoman could answer, she felt dizzy and her vision went black, and she almost fell over.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaoman reacted quickly and caught him, instinctively calling out:

"Mother! Are you alright?"

Her shout immediately drew the attention of many people behind her, who turned around to look at her with curiosity.

Li Xiuyun's lips trembled uncontrollably as she spoke in a trembling voice:

"Did you...did you hear that? Your sister has been kidnapped by bandits!"

As she finished speaking, two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. She helplessly gripped her daughter's hand, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing her mother's extreme grief, Yang Xiaoman suppressed her complex emotions and whispered words of comfort:

"Mother, don't worry. Even if something really happened to Xiao Ning, we still have the money to ransom her."

"At the very least, my daughter will personally go to Black Wind Mountain and make those bandits hand over A-Ning!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun turned pale. "You, you mustn't do anything foolish."

"Those mountain bandits are not to be trifled with; even the government can't do anything about these roving bandits..."

Halfway through the conversation, Yang Xiaoman changed the subject with a sullen face, "Mother, let's not talk about these things for now."

"The best course of action now is for us to go in and find Patriarch Qi. If Aning is really in trouble, we can discuss together how to rescue her."

After saying that, she took her mother's hand and quickly squeezed to the front of the crowd.

Upon learning that the mother and daughter in front of them were likely the "victims," ​​the onlookers quickly made way for them.

At the same time, a servant of the Qi family hurried over, frowning as he looked at the crowd gathered in front of the courtyard gate and was about to drive them away.

Suddenly, a small figure came into view, and he immediately gasped:

"Young Butcher Yang? You've finally arrived!"

"My master is just about to send someone to Yangjia Village to deliver this message to you..."

Yang Xiaoman stopped in her tracks, her heart instantly turning ice-cold.

Since the head of the Qi family sent people to Yangjia Village to look for her, it means that the people who came to watch the commotion were right, Xiao Ning really had an accident!

"Where is the master of the Qi family? A-Ning was staying with the Qi family perfectly well, why was she kidnapped by the bandits of Black Wind Mountain?!"

Feeling her mother's trembling hand beside her, Yang Xiaoman could no longer contain her anger and questioned her in a low voice with a gloomy face.

In order to redeem her sister as soon as possible, she dared not stop for even a moment.

I finally managed to scrape together three taels of silver, but who would have thought that my sister would get into such a terrible trouble!

She simply couldn't understand how her younger sister, who was so young and rarely left the Han family home, could have been targeted by the bandits of Black Wind Mountain.

Sensing the anger in her words, the servant sighed and said helplessly:

"Young Butcher Yang, you've misunderstood our master."

"It was because Miss secretly escaped from the compound last night that the bandits had the opportunity to cause trouble. Only after Master discovered she was missing did he send us to search for her overnight..."

"Later, with the help of the night watchman in the vicinity, they finally found the place where the young lady last disappeared, where only a letter remained."

"I don't know the contents of the letter either, but if you see the head of the family, Yang the butcher, he will naturally tell you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"What?"

"Was it Ah Ning who secretly ran away from the Qi family in the middle of the night and fell victim to those bandits?!"
