"Third brother's wife, if you have any sense, hurry up and bring out Third Brother's butcher knife. Don't force us to go find it ourselves!"

"And that little brat, I'm her aunt, how dare she point a knife at me? She's practically asking for death."

"The village head has already intervened, how long are you going to hide that little beast? Unless she never returns to Yangjia Village for the rest of her life, I will never let her go!"

Looking at Li Xiuyun, whose eyes were bloodshot, Chen Yue'e put her hands on her hips and started yelling and cursing without any restraint.

She, who has always been domineering, has never suffered such a loss before.

If she doesn't teach Yang Xiaoman a lesson, how will Chen Yue'e ever have the face to stay in Yangjia Village again?

Upon hearing his wife's insults, Yang Chengren's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

But he opened his mouth and said nothing.

Recalling how terrified he was that he wet his pants, his hatred for Yang Xiaoman was no less than that for Chen Yue'e.

"Sister-in-law, please watch your words. Xiaoman is, after all, your niece..."

Li Xiuyun's voice trembled as she gritted her teeth and spoke.

She went out to borrow money, but not only did she not get a single penny, she was also blocked on the way by her older brother and his wife.

What surprised her even more was that her older brother and his wife would do things in such a ruthless way!

Not only did the villains file a complaint first, asking the village head to intervene on their behalf, but they also wanted to retrieve the pig-slaughtering knife her husband had used before his death and cause trouble for their own daughter!

"Niece? Pshaw!"

Chen Yue'e spat out a disdainful remark.

Thick, yellow phlegm landed precisely at Li Xiuyun's feet.

"I don't have such a beast..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a tightness in her throat and stared blankly at Li Xiuyun, who suddenly stood up and grabbed her collar.

At this moment, the latter's eyes were bloodshot and red, and she was biting her lip so hard that blood had seeped out...

"Sister-in-law, don't blame your sister-in-law for turning her back on you and disregarding our past relationship."

"If you dare to utter another word against Xiaoman, I'll risk my life to make sure you get away with it!"

Upon hearing Li Xiuyun's threat, Chen Yue'e's heart skipped a beat.

This is outrageous! It's absolutely outrageous!

How dare the third brother's wife threaten her, the eldest daughter-in-law of the main branch?!

She instinctively grabbed Li Xiuyun's wrist, about to hurl a few defiant words at her.

But looking into the other person's bloodshot eyes, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

So that's why... so that little bastard's madness was inherited from her mother!

"That's enough!"

Just then, a middle-aged man in a long robe sitting on a chair nearby snorted coldly, interrupting the argument between the sisters-in-law.

He was Yang Cong'an, the village head of Yangjia Village.

"You two are sisters-in-law, for goodness' sake! Fighting in front of everyone, what kind of behavior is that?!"

"Eldest son of the Yang family, why aren't you controlling your wife?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chengren gave a wry smile.

His wife had a fiery and domineering personality, and he was always the one being managed. How could he dare to meddle in his wife's affairs?

However, due to the village head's orders, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and grab Chen Yue'e's arm.

"Wife, let's talk this out with Third Brother's wife."

"Although Xiaoman did make a mistake, she is only seven years old this year. As her elders, we can just find some time to teach her a lesson."

"The most urgent task is to get the third son's wife to hand over the butcher knife, so that the girl won't cause even bigger trouble next time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'e reluctantly released her grip, letting out a disdainful snort.

"Hey Li, you heard that, right? Let's set aside Xiaoman's mistake for now."

"No matter what excuse you give today, you must hand over the third brother's butcher knife!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun's face turned deathly pale.

Before she could speak, Yang Cong'an nodded slightly, making the final decision:

"What Mr. Chen asked for is quite reasonable."

"According to the law, only butchers are allowed to legally use pig-slaughtering knives. Now that Butcher Yang has had an accident, your pig-slaughtering knife should be returned."

Although there was this rule, he originally did not intend to ask for the pig-slaughtering knife that Yang the butcher had used before his death, and wanted to turn a blind eye to it.

Unfortunately, on the seventh day after Yang the Butcher's death, his daughter actually committed the outrageous act of wielding a knife against her elder!

Even if he wanted to protect them, he could only order the pig-slaughtering knife to be confiscated, otherwise he would not be able to give an explanation to the other villagers of Yangjia Village.

At the same time, Yang Chengren nodded slightly and reminded him:

"Third son's wife, don't be stubborn. Village head Yang has already considered your family's situation."

"Knowing that the third brother's seven-day mourning period had not yet passed, I did not mention this matter until he went up the mountain. If you understand his good intentions, you should not have kept the butcher knife hidden."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuyun seemed to lose all her strength and slumped back onto the wooden stool, utterly dejected.

"I know where that girl hid the butcher knife!"

Suddenly, a sharp sound came from the entrance of the courtyard.

Everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.

A woman carrying a bamboo basket squeezed her way out of the crowd.

If Yang Xiaoman were here right now, she would definitely recognize the person's identity at a glance.

It was the village woman she had the conflict with in the carriage!

"Isn't that Zhao, Yang Erhu's wife? Why would she get involved in Yang the Butcher's mess when she'd just been watching the show?"

Looking at the village woman speaking, the villagers watching the commotion on both sides immediately recognized her.

"Zhao Chunmei?"

Chen Yue'e was clearly somewhat surprised, as she had a bad temper and few people in Yangjia Village could talk to her.

Zhao Chunmei, who stepped forward at this moment, was one of the few who did so.

"Zhao, how do you know?"

Yang Cong'an frowned slightly and asked softly.

"Lord of the village, I took an oxcart to town this morning to deliver some freshly picked vegetables from the fields to my husband."

"Yang the butcher's daughter was also on the cart. When I saw her, I instinctively asked her a few questions, but instead of appreciating it, she said she was going to take out her father's butcher knife and cut off my tongue!"

As she spoke, Zhao Chunmei's story began calmly and gently, but by the end she was almost gritting her teeth as she spoke.

How could a grown woman be frightened by a seven-year-old girl?

The more Zhao Chunmei thought about it, the angrier she became. She also learned from other villagers that Yang Chengren and his wife were causing trouble for Yang the butcher's daughter.

So, with the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to avenge her previous humiliation, Zhao Chunmei rushed over without thinking!

"Is that really true?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an subconsciously glanced at Li Xiuyun.

The latter's face was completely devoid of color.

"It's a pity that Yang the butcher was such a good man. If he had known that his daughter would cause such a commotion after his death, he probably wouldn't be able to rest in peace."

He sighed, thinking to himself.

"Ms. Zhao, words alone are not enough. Do you have any other witnesses?"

Zhao Chunmei lowered her head guiltily, "Reporting to the village head, the villagers who were sitting on the oxcart at the time all heard what Yang the butcher's daughter said to me with a pig-slaughtering knife. They can all testify to that."

She didn't mention the cause of the incident; since it was a complaint, she naturally focused on aspects that were in her favor.

Yang Cong'an nodded slightly. "Ms. Li, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your daughter has been speaking rudely to her elders and the villagers. If Butcher Yang's pig-slaughtering knife remains in her hands, it will surely cause a great disaster in the future."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll give you half a day. Once your daughter returns to the village, hand over the butcher knife to my house. How about that?"

Li Xiuyun subconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, gritted her teeth, and was about to nod.

Just then, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard:

"You gossipy woman, you insulted my father first, and now you dare to falsely accuse me?"

"Looking at your tongue... do you really not want it anymore?!"

Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Chunmei's body trembled violently.

I instinctively turned to the side and looked behind me in the direction of the sound.

She then saw a scene she would never forget in her life.

Yang Xiaoman stood ten meters away with a cold face, carrying the pig-slaughtering tools that Yang the butcher used to have.

He held a long, thin piece of pork belly in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other, which he carried on his right shoulder.

His predatory gaze fell upon her without any attempt to conceal it!
