"you……"

Zhao Chunmei was terrified and instinctively took a step back.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Yang Cong'an in the courtyard and shouted:

"Village head, save me! This little girl's gone mad again!"

boom!

Just as Yang Xiaoman, with a cold face, was about to walk towards Zhao Chunmei.

Suddenly, the sound of a teacup slamming against a table came from the courtyard, and Yang Cong'an walked out with a stern face.

He frowned when he saw the butcher knife in her hand.

This butcher Yang's daughter is really bold!

How dare they carry a butcher's knife and run all over the village?

Most importantly, they even threatened the Zhao family right in front of him!

"Grain Buds!"

Li Xiuyun rushed out of the courtyard and shielded her daughter behind her.

As for Yang Chengren and his companion who started the trouble, they hid in the courtyard and dared not show themselves.

Yang Xiaoman's appearance seemed to remind them of some unpleasant scenes.

"Mrs. Li, please don't make a mistake. Your daughter is just young and impulsive. Just make her hand over the butcher knife and apologize to Mrs. Zhao."

Seeing Li Xiuyun standing in front of Yang Xiaoman, Yang Cong'an frowned and whispered a reminder.

"Admit wrongdoing? She insulted my parents first, what wrong have I done?!"

Yang Xiaoman naturally recognized the middle-aged man in front of her, knowing that he was the village head of Yangjia Village.

Nine times out of ten, it was my uncle and his wife who invited them!

"Is that really true?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an was stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhao Chunmei.

The latter suddenly felt a little guilty, lowered his head, and whispered:

"I... I was just trying to be helpful by offering a few words of advice."

Yang Cong'an frowned. Having served as the village head for so many years, how could he not guess what had happened based on the other party's reaction?

It seems that Zhao Chunmei made the sarcastic remarks first, and Yang the butcher's daughter couldn't hold back and took out the butcher knife to scare her.

"Shut up! You're supposed to be an adult, yet you dare to talk back to a seven-year-old girl. If Butcher Yang were still alive, he'd come knocking on your door to cause trouble for your family. What would you do then?"

He curled his lip in disdain, his gaze towards Zhao Chunmei filled with disgust.

If Yang Xiaoman hadn't arrived in time, he would have really been fooled by this wicked woman.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chunmei turned pale and dared not utter a sound.

"Village head, even if Zhao is in the wrong, you can't just let Xiaoman wander around the village with a butcher knife. That's against the rules!"

Seeing the situation change drastically, Chen Yue'e disregarded everything else and took a deep breath to quickly remind him.

Looking at her uncle and his accomplice lurking suspiciously in the courtyard, Yang Xiaoman narrowed her eyes and unconsciously tightened her grip on the butcher knife.

Just as she thought, the couple... wouldn't easily let go of the opportunity to exploit her family's destitute members.

The first step was to confiscate the pig-slaughtering knife that my father had used when he was alive.

"That's right! Only butchers are qualified to wield the pig-slaughtering knife; that's an ironclad rule."

"Although Zhao was wrong, that's no reason for Yang the butcher's daughter to threaten him with a butcher knife. I support confiscating it!"

Immediately, the villagers who had initially been watching the spectacle began to voice their opinions.

Since it concerns personal safety, they naturally cannot sit idly by.

Today, Yang Xiaoman dared to point a butcher knife at Zhao Shi and threaten her. Once she gets a taste of success, wouldn't she be able to walk around Yangjia Village with that butcher knife around?!

Seeing the public's outrage, Li Xiuyun swallowed hard and quickly said:

"Village head, we can hand over the butcher knife, but..."

Just then, Yang Xiaoman's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Mother, you can't hand over the butcher knife!"

The smile that had just appeared on Yang Cong'an's face suddenly froze.

"With the village head here, who gives you the right to speak, you little brat? You have no choice but to pay!"

Chen Yue'e stepped out and immediately began to reprimand loudly without hesitation.

"Yes, Xiaoman, you are only seven years old... but you should be sensible enough. Don't make things difficult for your mother."

Yang Chengren, standing to the side, earnestly offered his advice.

He wasn't saying this against his conscience; he genuinely meant what he said to Li Xiuyun and her son.

In Yangjia Village, you can't afford to offend anyone but the village head.

"Hypocritical and disgusting!"

Yang Xiaoman walked out from behind her mother with a disdainful look.

"If I'm not mistaken, the village head was invited by you two, right?"

"They only know that I threatened you with a butcher knife, they have no idea that it was you two who secretly broke into my house while my father was being buried on the mountain, intending to eat up the family's blood!"

boom!

The moment the words "eating the children of the destitute" were uttered, they caused an immediate uproar among the villagers present.

In the village, this was an act that was condemned by almost everyone!

Moreover, Butcher Yang had just died and hadn't even been buried before his family devoured him, leaving him without any descendants...

Since the emergence of Yangjia Village, such heinous acts have never occurred before!

If what Yang Xiaoman said is true, then even if she had just angrily scared the two away with a butcher knife, it would be reasonable for her to hack Yang Chengren and his wife to death on the spot!

After all, putting aside the issue of taking advantage of someone's family's wealth, simply breaking into someone's house in the middle of the night is enough to sentence the two of them to death!

Yang Cong'an's lips twitched. He had come here today thinking it was just an ordinary family dispute.

He never expected the situation to be so complicated. If he doesn't handle it well and accidentally favors one side, it will obviously have a huge impact on his prestige in Yangjia Village.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Yang Chengren and the other man, his gaze gradually becoming somewhat unfriendly.

Upon seeing this, Yang Chengren turned deathly pale.

"You...you mustn't make false accusations!"

Feeling the village head's gaze, Chen Yue'e didn't hesitate and gritted her teeth to speak.

Without witnesses or physical evidence, if she insists on denying it to the death, then this didn't happen!

"Your uncle and I came here this morning specifically to visit you. We knew your mother didn't take you with her when she went up the mountain, so we kindly came to keep you company."

"Besides, we are family, so how can you say I secretly broke in?"

Hearing this, Yang Cong'an's expression softened considerably.

He almost forgot that Butcher Yang's parents were still alive, and their son was not going to separate from the family!

Since it's a family dispute, it has nothing to do with him.

As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes.

He was merely the village head, and could at most mediate; whether the two families listened to his advice was beyond his control.

"A kind visit?"

Yang Xiaoman was not at all surprised by her aunt's vehement denial.

These two are capable of such acts as consuming the property of those who have no descendants; they are clearly far removed from humanity and are worse than animals!

"If I remember correctly, you told my uncle that you wanted to sell me to an old bachelor for a large sum of money."

"Do you dare swear to the village head that you never said such a thing?"

"If there is even half a lie, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Before Chen Yue'e could even offer a weak and unreasonable explanation, Yang Xiaoman had completely blocked her escape route.

Upon hearing this, the other person was stunned and instinctively replied:

"I……"

But when the words reached his lips, he stammered and couldn't say anything.

The villagers of Yangjia Village immediately erupted in a commotion.

The reactions of Chen Yue'e and the other woman at this moment clearly confirmed that what Yang Xiaoman said was true!

Yang Cong'an's face instantly darkened.

He never imagined that Yang Chengren and his companion would actually commit such an outrageous and heinous act.

Unfortunately, he was deceived and came to cause trouble for Yang the butcher's daughter...

"Lord Village Head, please let me explain."

Seeing the village head's unpredictable expression, Chen Yue'e's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to speak.

But before he could finish speaking, Yang Cong'an impatiently waved his hand to interrupt him:

"If you are wronged, then listen to what Yang the butcher's daughter said, and you can swear an oath to prove your innocence."

"If not, then shut your mouth!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yue'e fell silent, like a firecracker that had gone out.

Yang Chengren looked like a wilted eggplant, his head bowed and not daring to utter a sound.

"Ms. Li, what do you intend to do with these two?"

Even if you wanted to report it to the authorities, no one would say anything.

Yang Cong'an looked at Li Xiuyun, his tone softening slightly.

The mother and son in front of me have not only just lost the breadwinner of their family, but have also been betrayed by the family they trusted most...

If it weren't for the rule that couldn't be broken, he wouldn't have dared to take away Butcher Yang's pig-slaughtering knife.

Upon hearing Yang Cong'an's words, Li Xiuyun looked at her daughter without thinking.

Yang Xiaoman stepped forward, carrying a pig-slaughtering knife, and without hesitation, said to the many villagers of Yangjia Village:

"There's no need to report to the authorities. I'll say it again: as long as those two sign a letter severing ties with my family and promise never to have anything to do with us again..."

"Today's misdeeds will be forgiven!"
