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

Panpan really wanted Xiong Bufan to keep the woman in front of her. They were both unfortunate people, so why make things difficult for each other? But she didn't dare to say it, for fear of annoying Xiong Bufan. She just stood by and watched Xiong Bufan.

Xiong Bufan could feel Panpan's gaze the whole time, but he didn't say anything.

"Boss, please let me follow you. I don't eat much and I can work!" With that, Gao Ying knelt down in front of Xiong Bufan.

Xiong Bufan didn't smell any unpleasant odor on Gao Ying, so he said directly, "Then come with me. If you can't make money, I'll throw you back here."

Gao Ying immediately kowtowed to Xiong Bufan, "Yes, Boss. Thank you, Boss."

Panpan went over and helped her up. "Get up quickly, my dear sister. Let's serve the boss together."

"Well, thank you sister."

Panpan will handle the rest herself. Xiong Bufan walked back to the courtyard and waited for Jiang Yue to report.

Yao Li didn't expect that someone would actually believe Gao Ying's words and take Gao Ying away. So, could she ask Gao Ying to return the betrothal gifts? She wasn't going to be a concubine in Gao Ying's house anymore, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for the money back, right?

After thinking it through, Yao Li spoke directly: "My lords, this Yao Li is someone we took in as a concubine after going through the proper rites and giving betrothal gifts."

Now that she's gone with you, shouldn't you give her the betrothal gifts?

This was the first time Xiong Bufan had ever heard someone ask her for money for no reason. He turned to Yao Li and said, "I don't have any money, but you have to give me Gao Ying's dowry!"

Upon hearing that she had to pay someone else, Yao Li became furious. Why should she pay twice for the same woman? But realizing she couldn't win, she said, "Master, you must have misunderstood. You took away my concubine."

If anyone's going to pay, it should be you paying me. Such a valuable concubine shouldn't be taken away for nothing.

Xiong Bufan: "So you have to give me a dowry? Am I just going to take this woman in for nothing?!"

"Either pay up, or die!" Xiong Bufan's tone turned sinister as he said the last part.

Yao Li was truly terrified. In a panic, she pulled a copper coin from her bosom and threw it out, exclaiming, "Dowry!"

Panpan picked up the copper coin and handed it to Xiong Bufan. Xiong Bufan flicked the coin with his hand, stuffed it into his pocket, and thought it was good enough to receive money.

Xiong Bufan said to Gao Ying, "You got a really good deal. I feel like I've been ripped off. You'll have to repay me properly in the future."

Gao Ying's eyes were red with anger at Xiong Bufan's words and Yao Li's behavior, and veins started to bulge on her face. The more Xiong Bufan looked at her, the more he felt that he had been taken advantage of by taking on a sick woman.

Xiong Bufan sat down in the courtyard to wait for Jiang Yue to bring back the grain. She still admired Jiang Yue very much; she had managed to find more than a dozen places to hide such a small amount of grain.

Panpan patted Gao Ying on the shoulder, signaling her not to be too moved. The head of the household was just that helpful, helping her escape from her hellish in-laws.

Gao Ying gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger. This girl was a fool, and she wouldn't argue with a fool.

Not long after, Jiang Yue returned with the grain, only to find that the quantity was only half of what it had been, and all the preserved fish was gone.

Jiang Yue brought the grain to Xiong Bufan and began to report: "Boss, all the preserved fish is gone, ten bags of coarse grains are missing, two bags of fine grains are missing, and there is only a small jar of salt and sugar left."

"Boss, believe me, I will definitely find all the grain and sugar."

Xiong Bufan stood up. "No rush, let's arrange things at the house."

Even if we can't find the grain, I have a way. Don't worry too much.

Jiang Yue looked at Xiong Bufan with confusion. Their leader was the one who cherished food and money the most, so why was she being so generous today? This was completely unlike her.

Xiong Bufan was actually planning to find an excuse to rob the village, but he ended up finding the thief by sheer accident.

They were all busy, and Xiong Bufan said to Kongkong, "Every household in the village owes me two dried fish."

Kongkong: "Wasn't it just one family? How did it become the whole village? Your interest rate is ridiculously high, even more outrageous than 'nine out of thirteen' (a type of loan with a fixed interest rate)."

“Dried fish does generate value. One fish can produce hundreds of fish, and two fish can produce thousands of dried fish. This is after a discount. I am still too kind to them.”

Kongkong: "Bufan, did your biology and math skills come from the same teacher who taught you cultivation?"

"Kongkong, you have a good memory. It was the Taoist who taught you that."

Kongkong: If you want to rob the village, just say so. You don't need to come up with such a far-fetched reason. Anyway, no one is stopping you.

Seeing that Kong Kong remained silent, Xiong Bufan pondered how to make his entrance in a way that would make him appear even more imposing and domineering.

Xiong Bufan hadn't seen the villagers in a long time and really missed them terribly. They dared to touch her things while she was away; they were really asking for trouble.

If longing had a speed, it would be like the villagers standing at the gate of the house right now, holding machetes and yelling for Xiong Bufan to come out.

Perhaps it's because Xiong Bufan has been gone for too long that they've all forgotten that Xiong Bufan is not an ordinary girl.

Gao Ying felt unlucky. She had just sought refuge with the girls, but the girls were surrounded by villagers. Now she could only find a place to hide as soon as possible. She didn't want to get involved in their fight.

When Yao Li saw her helpers arrive, she immediately stood up straight. She knew her man wouldn't abandon her, and now these people could just wait to beg for mercy.

There were over three hundred men and women in the village, but Xiong Bufan only brought about a hundred people, so they seemed to be outnumbered.

"Little Star, come out!"

"come out!"

Seeing that the villagers were very agitated, Liu Zongqing shouted, "Xiao Xing, come out and accept your punishment! You broke the rules of our village, come out!"

Panpan pulled out a pistol and used it to shield Xiong Bufan behind her. "Boss, what should we do next?"

Jiang Yue took out her musket, raised it, and said, "Brothers, let's fight our way out!"

The two formed a protective triangle, shielding Xiong Bufan tightly behind them, fearing that someone might come in and harm him.

The bandits in the courtyard shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Having been a bandit, the aura inside the courtyard was stronger than that outside.

Xiong Bufan grinned, "Let's see if the brothers have become rusty because they haven't fought in a long time. Let's go out and meet them."

"Yes, Boss!"

The house was already surrounded by villagers. Seeing Xiong Bufan lead his men out, they became even more excited. Today, they were determined to avenge last year's humiliation and rid the people of this scourge by drowning the girl who broke the rules.

Xiong Bufan: "Go ahead and fight, just try not to kill anyone."

"Yes!"

The bandits rushed out with knives, while Jiang Yue and Panpan protected Xiong Bufan with guns, ready to shoot any fools who dared to approach.

It's more fun to watch others fight than to fight. Xiong Bufan was enjoying the show on the sidelines. Kongkong really wanted to tell Xiong Bufan to be more careful. The bandits were clearly being overwhelmed. If the fight continued, they would probably either die or be crippled.

Kongkong: "Bufan, if the people in the village are killed, there will be no one to work and no one to take care of you."

Moreover, if one becomes disabled, it's even more troublesome, requiring a lot of money for treatment.

Upon hearing that it would cost money, Xiong Bufan dashed out of Jiang Yue and Panpan's protective circle.
