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

arrive?!

Yang Cong'an sat up abruptly, subconsciously wiping his mouth with his sleeve, and stared blankly out of the carriage.

Upon seeing the water stains on his sleeve, he belatedly realized what had happened, and his face immediately turned red.

"Ahem, let's get off the bus quickly, there's no time to lose."

Looking at the bustling market around him, Yang Cong'an frowned slightly. "I don't know if we can find those two people in a day."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, let's keep looking for it. We have at least three days."

Yang Xiaoman jumped off the oxcart, and her expression shifted slightly after hearing what Yang Lizheng said.

"Uncle Village Head, instead of us searching like headless flies, I have a better idea."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an was somewhat surprised, and replied without hesitation:

Tell me about it.

"It's like this, I came to town today to go to the Qi family. Although Aning has been saved, we still need to give Master Qi an explanation and at least return the three taels of silver we borrowed."

Yang Xiaoman spoke calmly and methodically.

"My father was on good terms with Uncle Qi when he was alive. Moreover, as the head of the Qi family, he was a very important figure in this town. If we could ask him for help in finding the person, it would definitely be much more efficient."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an's eyes lit up.

"You're right. If Master Qi is willing to help, things will be much easier to resolve."

"In that case, let's go to the Qi family first!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously lifted his foot.

Suddenly, it stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Yang Cong'an awkwardly withdrew his composure, his old face flushed red as he coughed lightly, "By the way, you should know the way to the Qi family's house, right?"

Yang Xiaoman couldn't help but nod and then walked to the front to lead the way.

Walking along a narrow alley from the market, it wasn't long before I saw the familiar Qi Family Courtyard.

Before she even got close, the Qi family servants at the door spotted her and hurriedly rushed forward to greet her.

"Young Butcher Yang, my master knew you were coming today, and he specifically told us to be extra careful."

"There's no need to announce it; I'll take you directly to see the master."

As he spoke, his gaze suddenly fell on Yang Cong'an standing next to Yang Xiaoman, and he asked curiously:

"Miss Yang, who is he?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman smiled calmly and cupped her hands in greeting:

"Uncle Village Head accompanied me to town on business this time, and we stopped by to pay a visit to Master Qi."

Upon hearing this, the servants immediately bowed and paid their respects.

Yang Cong'an calmly and unhurriedly returned the gesture with a cupped hand.

Then, led by a servant, the two entered the Qi family compound.

We walked through the covered walkway until we reached the front yard before stopping.

"Please wait a moment, my master will be here shortly."

Seeing Yang Xiaoman nod, the servants quickly turned and hurried to the backyard.

"Your father was indeed capable, to have connections with such people, it's just a pity he died young..."

Sitting at the tea table in the front yard, Yang Cong'an looked around somewhat uncomfortably and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he lived in a brick and tile house, it was considered a mansion in Yangjia Village, a unique existence for Scorpion Baba.

Compared to the Qi family compound in front of them, it was utterly crushed, leaving not a trace.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman pursed her lips, but before she could say anything, she heard hurried footsteps coming from the direction the servant had left.

Qi Sheng walked with his hands behind his back, hurrying to the connecting corridor in the front yard.

Upon seeing the two people sitting at the tea table, he first smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Yang Cong'an, then looked at Yang Xiaoman.

The two of them quickly stood up.

"Please, have a seat, gentlemen!"

Qi Sheng chuckled and gestured, then waited for Yang Xiaoman and Yang Cong'an to sit down before lifting his robes and taking the seat of honor.

"Miss Yang, is Xiao Ning settling in well since returning home?"

After speaking, Yang Xiaoman nodded slightly, "Reporting to Master Qi, although my sister was frightened at the bandit mountain, her mood has improved a lot since she returned home, and her daily life is no different from before."

Hearing this, Qi Sheng finally breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled wryly.

"Thank goodness I'm alright, otherwise how could I face Butcher Yang?"

After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and looking at Yang Xiaoman's young face in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh:

"I'm afraid Cheng Lin didn't expect his daughter to be so outstanding at such a young age. I heard from the coachman that you went up the mountain to ransom A Ning, and not only did you kidnap the third leader of Black Wind Mountain, but you also fought the leader in a swordsmanship contest in public, even breaking his sword in two?"

"Not only that, but you also kidnapped the bandit leader in front of hundreds of bandits. If this news gets out, you will probably become a celebrity in Shahe County."

"However, it's best to keep quiet about those desperados from Black Wind Mountain. If you embarrass them, they might come after you later."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman nodded in agreement and smiled faintly:

Whether it gets out or not doesn't matter; it's just empty fame.

"The most important thing is to rescue Aning safely."

As she spoke, she took a small money pouch from her bosom and placed it on the stone table.

"What is this?" Qi Sheng was slightly taken aback.

He could naturally recognize that what was in front of him was a money bag.

I just don't understand what Yang Xiaoman's intention was.

"Master Qi, this is the three taels of silver that you lent my mother when you helped her. The day before yesterday, my mother and I visited you, intending to repay the silver and take Aning home. Who would have thought that something would go wrong?"

"Now that Aning has returned home, these three taels of silver should naturally be returned in full. Of course... we three will always remember the kindness of Patriarch Qi, and if there is an opportunity in the future, we will repay it tenfold."

"I will also try to settle the fifty taels of silver for redeeming Aning as soon as possible."

Looking at Yang Xiaoman's serious face, Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the small money bag in front of him.

Then I held it in my palm and weighed it in my hand.

It's not heavy, just about three ounces.

"I'll take this silver."

Qi Sheng hesitated for a moment, then suppressed his urge to refuse and put the money pouch in his pocket.

"However, you don't need to refuse the fifty taels of silver, butcher Yang. The person was kidnapped at my Qi family's house, so the ransom will naturally come from the Qi family."

"I hope you will not insist on this point, otherwise, if word gets out, outsiders will think that the Qi family is shameless and cannot even bear this responsibility."

Seeing that he had gone this far, Yang Xiaoman had no choice but to nod helplessly.

After a half-second silence, she subconsciously exchanged a glance with Yang Cong'an.

She then looked at Qi Sheng and said without thinking:

"Master Qi, I'm sorry to bother you today, but I have another request."
