Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic
Chapter 86 Driven to the Brink
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Li Xiuyun's face turned deathly pale, but her heart trembled violently.
She was well aware that rumors were bound to circulate in the village after her husband's unexpected death.
Although the news didn't reach her ears, the strange looks she received made her too afraid to even go out.
In addition, with Aning in trouble now, her eldest daughter has been forced to go to the bandit mountain alone, and her fate is unknown.
This made Li Xiuyun doubt herself; could it really be that she was unlucky and destined to die...?
"Cough cough."
Beside him, Yang Chengren coughed twice, reminding him:
"My wife, you've gone a bit too far."
"Nobody wanted to see the third brother get into trouble. As for Aning being kidnapped, it was the work of the bandits from Black Wind Mountain. How can you blame your sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'e finally realized what had happened and remembered the purpose of her visit.
He then reluctantly released his grip, and then pouted, saying:
"It wasn't me who said it, it's just what people in the village are saying."
After saying that, she looked at Li Xiuyun and said:
"Third brother's wife, please don't blame your sister-in-law for speaking so harshly. I'm just heartbroken for my two nieces, who were so young and have now passed away. It's all those damned bandits' fault!"
"However, it might not be easy for you to stay in Yangjia Village from now on. How about your elder brother and I give you some money so you can move to another place? Anyway, you have no ties now, so it doesn't matter where you live."
"As for the third son's courtyard..."
Chen Yue'e's eyes darted around.
"You can leave it to me and your older brother to keep safe."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuyun's face drained of all color. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying:
"I'm not going anywhere. If anything happens to Aning and Xiaoman, I'd rather die here!"
"And what's with all this talk about 'elder sister-in-law' and 'elder brother'? Don't forget... our two families severed ties in front of the ancestral hall that day. Why are you trying to claim this connection now!"
She wasn't stupid; she knew that Chen Yue'e and her companion were like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—they had no good intentions!
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'e's face instantly darkened, her teeth grinding together in anger. "You son of a bitch, you won't listen to reason, will you?"
"If you know what's good for you, hand over the third brother's courtyard, and your eldest brother and I will give you five hundred coins as travel expenses."
"If you don't know what's good for you, you won't get a single penny, let alone five hundred. I'll make sure you leave with nothing!"
Beside him, Yang Chengren also said in a deep voice:
"Third sister-in-law, wake up! Xiaoman and her sister are not coming back."
"Rather than stubbornly staying in the village and suffering all kinds of scorn, it's better to go somewhere else and find some peace and quiet."
Li Xiuyun gritted her teeth and took a sudden step back. "Trying to take the yard... you won't get it!"
Chen Yue'e's face flushed red, and she bared her teeth and claws as she was about to step forward.
"You've gone too far!"
"I refuse to believe that a widow with no children can possibly guard this house!"
After saying that, she started to tear at Li Xiuyun.
Before long, several bloody marks appeared on the latter's face, making it look shocking.
Seeing that the other party offered no resistance, Chen Yue'e's momentum increased even more, and she put all her strength into her hands.
She was, after all, a notorious tough nut to crack in Yangjia Village; she wasn't just a figurehead!
boom!
As Li Xiuyun retreated step by step, her lower back slammed violently against the stone table in the courtyard, making a loud noise.
"You son of a bitch, hand over the deed!"
Seeing this, Chen Yue'e raised her eyebrows, grabbed her collar, and shouted loudly.
Li Xiuyun's eyes were bloodshot. Thinking of her two daughters, whose fates were unknown, she suddenly pushed Chen Yue'e away with a burst of strength she didn't know she had.
Then he suddenly reached behind him with his right hand.
The next second, a cold glint appeared!
Chen Yue'e felt a momentary dizziness, followed by a slight stinging pain in her neck. She glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and was immediately horrified.
At this moment, Li Xiuyun held a short knife in her hand, her face filled with madness, and pressed the tip of the knife against her neck!
If the other party exerts force at this moment, her life will surely be in danger!
Yang Chengren, who had been observing coldly, was terrified by what he saw and hurriedly stepped forward, trembling, to persuade him:
"Third brother's wife, you need to calm down!"
"It's just an old courtyard, there's no need to cause a death."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun remained unmoved and gritted her teeth, saying:
"Stop! Take one more step and I'll stab her to death!"
"At worst, it's a life for a life. I'm going to die anyway, so I won't lose out!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chengren abruptly stopped in his tracks, swallowing hard in alarm.
He couldn't believe that his usually gentle third wife could be so shrewish!
"I... I don't want to die!"
Chen Yue'e's body trembled violently, her legs went weak, and she almost fell over.
But she only dared to brace herself, afraid that any movement she made would provoke Li Xiuyun to completely lose her mind.
As the saying goes, the fierce fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless.
Even if she were the most ruthless person, she wouldn't dare gamble her life on whether Li Xiuyun had the courage to actually do it.
"Third sister-in-law, release your eldest sister-in-law immediately, and we'll give up the yard, okay?"
Looking at his wife's pale face, Yang Chengren's heart trembled, and he hurriedly tried to persuade her.
"We're only doing this for your own good. If you really want to stay in the village, then so be it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiuyun not only did not loosen her grip on the dagger, but instead let out a disdainful snort.
"Ha! That sounds nice, but do you think I don't know what you're really thinking?"
"You framed Xiaoman first, and now you're trying to seize the courtyard. Clearly, you haven't given up on your wicked intentions!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'e trembled with fear and said:
"Then, what do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun took a deep breath, and then a bitter smile flashed across her pale face.
"If Xiaoman and Aning can get down the mountain safely, then let's drop this matter."
"If they don't return before nightfall, I will kill you with my own hands and then end my own life, so that our family can keep each other company on the road to the underworld."
As she spoke, she glanced mockingly at Chen Yue'e, whose face was filled with fear, and said lightly:
"Didn't you keep saying you didn't want to sever ties with your family?"
"Since we sisters-in-law have such a deep bond, how could I possibly leave you out of this journey to the afterlife?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue'e was already dumbfounded, and said in a daze:
"You...you're a madman!"
At this moment, she no longer had any intention of taking advantage of the family's wealth.
If you lose your life, then you lose everything!
"Third son's wife, you'd better think this over carefully!"
Yang Chengren was terrified, fearing that if things went wrong, he would be stabbed in the back.
Then he would truly have lost both his wife and his army.
"We sympathize with what happened to Aning, but you can't take it out on your sister-in-law!"
"If something really happens to her, even if you go down to the underworld, how will you explain it to the third son?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun gritted her teeth and sneered.
"You have the nerve to mention Cheng Lin?"
"As for whether or not to confess, let's wait until later!"
Feeling the chilling killing intent beside her, Chen Yue'e trembled violently. She had never been so close to death!
Without thinking, she cried out in terror to Yang Chengren:
"What are you all standing there for? Go and ask the village head to make a decision!"
