Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.

Da Chun and Er Qiu hadn't eaten all night, and when they returned, they were beaten by Xiong Bufan. Now, they hugged each other and wailed, "Sister, where are you? Someone's bullying us..."

Annoyed by the crying, Xiong Bufan tossed the golden abacus aside and said, "Stop howling. Get to the point. If you keep crying, I'll beat you up."

Da Chun and Er Qiu tried to cling to Xiong Bufan's leg, but 002 pulled them aside. The two then started crying and complaining to Xiong Bufan while clinging to 002's leg: "Boss, a man came to Manager Qiao's house. He not only beat us but also locked us in the woodshed... and cursed at us..."

Xiong Bufan remained calm, knowing full well who the man was. He treated Da Chun and Er Qiu's complaints as mere entertainment, since they were the ones who went to fawn over a girl with a fiancé.

The complaint didn't achieve the desired effect. Da Chun and Er Qiu exchanged a glance and then said, "It's fine that they bully us, but they also insulted you, the leader!" As they spoke, they secretly observed Xiong Bufan's expression.

Upon hearing someone insulting him, Xiong Bufan asked, "What did they say about me?"

Da Chun: "They said the boss is stupid, and that he's a wicked capitalist who'll never get rich."

Xiong Bufan placed his hand on the wooden table, causing it to collapse and startling the three of them. Xiong Bufan said in a sinister tone, "Is there anything else besides these?"

Da Chun and Er Qiu quickly shook their heads. The head of the gang was extremely petty. If anyone spoke ill of her behind her back, she would cripple that person. This was definitely not an exaggeration on Da Chun and Er Qiu's part.

Xiong Bufan walked over and picked up Dachun and Erqiu. "Let's go, let's go confront that man."

Upon hearing that a confrontation was about to take place, Da Chun and Er Qiu, who had initially let go, tightly hugged 002's legs. Xiong Bufan exerted force, and 002 was pulled so hard that he fell flat on his back.

Seeing that things were going badly, Xiong Bufan quickly ran out, leaving Dachun and Erqiu to bear 002's wrath alone. Dachun and Erqiu tried to run away, but 002 kicked them to the ground. "Weren't you guys very powerful just now?"

"Second Master, don't hit my face!"

"impossible."

He had just been clinging to 002's leg, and 002 tolerated it out of respect for Xiong Bufan. But now that he's thrown him to the ground, 002 really doesn't want to tolerate it anymore.

In no time, two bruised and swollen men were hanging from the eaves by the door. "Second Master, we were wrong, please let us down."

002 ignored him, tidied up the yard, continued to turn over the frozen ground, and then planted grapevines that had been transplanted from who-knows-where.

Da Chun: "Second Master, put us down, we'll go with you."

002 picked up a clod of dirt and threw it onto the rope. The rope swayed, and Da Chun cried out in terror, "Second Master, we were wrong! Put me down!"

"Don't let it go."

Following the scent, Xiong Bufan found the study of the Prince Xian's residence and saw Cui Haoyu. Without saying a word, Xiong Bufan gave Cui Haoyu a severe beating. Daring to speak ill of her, he deserved to be beaten.

Normally, only he and Qiao Yujie could enter Cui Haoyu's study. Now that Cui Haoyu was alone in the study, it was convenient for Xiong Bufan to take action.

Cui Haoyu was inexplicably beaten up. After recognizing the perpetrator's face, Cui Haoyu quickly said, "Boss Xiong, let's talk this out, don't hit me!"

"You're insulting me? I'm really giving you face."

Cui Haoyu racked his brains for a long time but couldn't recall when he had ever cursed Xiong Bufan. "Boss Xiong, is there some misunderstanding?"

Xiong Bufan continued, his hands still busy, "My eyes are my ruler. Even if you insult me, the counterfeit is mine."

Kongkong: "Bufan, do you know something?"

"They coveted my mountain stronghold, and they even insulted me. They're shameless."

Cui Haoyu was hanging from the roof beam, his face bruised and swollen. There was a brazier on the ground, and anyone who didn't know better would think he was being roasted.

When they got home, Da Chun and Er Qiu had already been put down. 002 was cooking, and the two of them were trying their best to help. However, their faces looked like a palette of colors. Xiong Bufan asked them, "What happened to your faces?"

When Da Chun and Er Qiu saw Xiong Bufan return, they wanted to complain, but 002 intimidated them with a look. The two continued to work meekly. 002 explained, "They accidentally tripped and fell, and that's how they ended up like that."

"Hmm, tell them to be more careful next time."

"okay, I get it."

Da Chun and Er Qiu were heartbroken. Their leader had abandoned them, and they were in a terrible state. They secretly glanced at 002 and saw him laughing happily, which made them even sadder.

Xiong Bufan: "Hurry up and cook, I'm starving." After saying that, he continued to fiddle with the golden abacus. The golden abacus was made of pure gold and engraved with "Making Finances". Xiong Bufan basically took it with him wherever he went.

"it is good."

Shortly after Xiong Bufan left, Cui Haoyu was finally released by the guards. Although the time was short, he was still burned. After being released, Cui Haoyu remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Qiao Yujie rushed back after hearing the news, only to find Cui Haoyu lying weakly on the bed. "Yujie, you're back."

"Was it Xiong Bufan who hit you? It's all my fault for being useless and not being able to avenge you."

Before Cui Haoyu could say anything, Qiao Yujie started blaming herself. Cui Haoyu could only hug Qiao Yujie and gently comfort her, "It's okay, Yujie, I'm not in any pain. Next time you meet Xiong Bufan, stay away from him. I'm afraid you'll get beaten up too."

"it is good."

......

Da Chun and Er Qiu stopped trying to get close to Qiao Yujie. Qiao Yujie came looking for them twice more, and Xiong Bufan took the opportunity to demand the wages they had earned for their previous flattery. After extorting a large sum of money from them, Qiao Yujie avoided them.

If it were just about wages, Qiao Yujie could afford to pay them. But Xiong Bufan actually wanted to include the medical expenses for Cui Haoyu's punishment of Dachun and Erqiu, which amounted to two hundred taels of silver.

Seeing Qiao Yujie's chest heaving, Xiong Bufan knew she was quite angry. He pursed his lips. She was the manager of several shops, yet she still had such a temper. Didn't she know that getting angry was bad for her health?

Xiong Bufan took a few steps back, afraid that Qiao Yujie would make him faint from anger and then try to frame him.

Qiao Yujie noticed Xiong Bufan's behavior, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down before saying, "Isn't this too much? There's nothing wrong between them. Besides, you hit Haoyu back then, can't we even things out?"

Da Chun and Er Qiu started clutching their stomachs and howling. Er Qiu said, "My stomach hurts so much. I wonder if it's because I went hungry all night last time and it's a chronic condition."

"Mine too, Boss, help me!"

The two were still rolling around on the ground, howling and raising dust. Xiong Bufan frowned and lightly kicked Da Chun. The two stopped rolling around so much, but it still revealed that they were helping Xiong Bufan extort a large sum of money from Qiao Yujie.

Qiao Yujie's anger, which she had finally managed to calm down, flared up again. She sneered at Xiong Bufan and said, "Xiong Bufan, we're from the same hometown, are you sure you want to treat me like this?"

"I'll side with what's right, not with my own people."

Qiao Yujie took out two hundred-tael silver notes from her purse and threw them at Dachun and Erqiu. She was about to leave when Xiong Bufan quickly said, "Wait."

Qiao Yujie thought Xiong Bufan had changed his mind. She knew Xiong Bufan wouldn't completely break off relations with her, so she arrogantly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Their wages haven't been paid." As he spoke, Xiong Bufan pointed to the two people rolling around on the ground.

Qiao Yujie was both ashamed and angry. She took out a silver ingot from her pocket and threw it on the ground, saying to Xiong Bufan, "You'll regret this." But she was afraid that Xiong Bufan would hit her, so she didn't shout it out loud, which made her seem less imposing.

"You'd better hurry back, or I'll charge you for using your address."

"Hmph." Qiao Yujie quickly left the house.

Kongkong: "Look, you've made the female lead so angry that she's turned into a child."

Da Chun and Er Qiu picked up the silver notes and ingots and respectfully handed them to Xiong Bufan, their eyes never leaving the silver. Xiong Bufan picked up a silver note and ingot and said to the two of them, "The New Year is coming soon. You can divide the rest among yourselves."

"Thank you, Boss."

After finishing these tasks, Xiong Bufan said to Kongkong, "I helped the female lead regain her childlike innocence and achieve a return to childhood. She should thank me."

Kongkong: I don't believe you for a second. You're just greedy. Aren't you afraid she won't let the people from the mountain stronghold work?

"No way, if she dares to refuse, I'll beat her up."

"As expected of you."
