Cui Wudi and Xiong Tianci looked at the two of them, wondering if that was really the case. They still warned the woman, "You'd better behave, or we'll sue you for trespassing!"

Xiaoying was completely bewildered. She had been kidnapped, so why was she accused of illegally trespassing when she called the police? This was clearly illegal detention.

Xiong Bufan took out his notebook and wrote it down. It's good to read a lot; even these professional terms came out.

After giving him a warning, the two kids went to do their homework, while Xiong Bufan continued to keep an eye on Xiaoying in the kitchen, afraid that she would run away.

At dinner, Xiaoying brought out a table full of dishes. Xiong Bufan looked at the two kids with a smug look on his face and thought to himself: He knew it. Bringing Xiaoying home was the wisest choice. Not only will someone cook for them, but someone will also wait on them. He just doesn't know how much they eat.

While eating, Xiong Bufan stared at Xiaoying. Xiaoying only ate a small bowl of rice and a few bites of vegetables, less than Liu Jianping. Xiong Bufan suddenly felt like she had struck gold. She could now send Cui Daqiang and Liu Jianping out to work and leave Xiaoying at home to take care of her.

Xiaoying noticed Xiong Bufan staring at her, unsure of his intentions. In a retaliatory manner, she ate a large mouthful of vegetables and shoveled down a couple of mouthfuls of rice. Xiong Bufan didn't react and continued eating.

The two kids watched Xiong Bufan and Xiaoying interact without daring to say anything, but now it seems that Xiaoying is here to destroy their family.

After finishing his meal, Cui Wudi called out to Xiong Bufan, "Mom, can you let her go? I don't like her."

Xiaoying was tidying up the table when she heard them talking about her, so she quickly pricked up her ears to listen. She then heard Xiong Bufan say, "No, this is Cui Daqiang and my mistress. You can call her stepmother."

Ever since his mother hit his father for the first time, things have gone completely off track compared to his previous life. Now, there's another third party who's trying to destroy the family. Cui Wudi dislikes people who willingly become mistresses, so he continued to persuade her, "Mom, aren't you worried that she'll cheat you out of your money? People who destroy other people's families are never good people."

Xiong Bufan covered Cui Wudi's mouth with a finger, "She's not here to destroy this family, she's here to join this family."

With her around, Liu Jianping can go out and earn money for me, and realize her value.

Don't be prejudiced against her; she's a good person. Go do your homework first.

Cui Wudi wanted to say something more, but Xiong Bufan had already given her the order to leave and didn't want to talk to her at all. Cui Wudi could only leave unwillingly, preparing to talk to Xiong Tianci about the upcoming political lesson and marriage law, and how Xiaoying's actions were illegal.

Xiong Bufan watched Xiaoying pack her things to prevent her from running away.

Xiaoying was packing her things cautiously when she lost her grip and a plate slipped from her hand, shattering into four pieces on the floor with a "crash." "I didn't mean to, please don't hit me!"

Xiong Bufan said kindly, "It's alright. Out with the old, in with the new. We can just ask Ronghua to buy it another day."

Kongkong simply couldn't believe that Xiong Bufan would change his temperament. Last time, when Liu Jianping broke a plate, Xiong Bufan hit Liu Jianping and threatened her not to break plates again because buying new plates would cost money, and Xiong Bufan was reluctant to spend money to buy new plates. Kongkong couldn't help but say, "Bufan, you are so patient with her."

Xiong Bufan: "I'm not the kind of bear who hits people randomly. It's just a bowl, anyway, she can use Cui Daqiang's bowl."

Kongkong didn't know what to say. She knew that Xiong Bufan couldn't have changed his personality. He didn't hit her because he didn't break his own bowl, so she didn't feel bad.

During the meal, Xiaoying seemed to have really calmed down, tidying up the kitchen and preparing ingredients for tomorrow. Her movements were many times faster than Liu Jianping's, and Xiong Bufan was quite satisfied with Xiaoying as his concubine.

Xiong Bufan went to the living room to watch TV, while Xiaoying was tidying up the living room and boiling water to make tea. The two kids came downstairs to drink water, and when they saw Xiaoying working, they just snorted and didn't rush to send her away.

Xiaoying is temporarily staying in an empty room on the second floor. Liu Jianping has prepared all the bedding for her, so she can move in right away.

Xiong Bufan went back to his room to study, and Xiaoying followed him in to bring him hot water, fruit, and snacks, so that he wouldn't get hungry while studying or thirsty in the middle of the night. She even stayed in Xiong Bufan's room after delivering the things.

Xiong Tianci looked at Xiaoying, unsure of what to say, but it would be good for the two of them to listen to this point about the Marriage Law.

Explaining the Marriage Law was essentially Xiong Tianci reading the legal provisions aloud and then explaining them to Xiong Bufan according to his own understanding.

Xiaoying looked greedily at the furnishings in Xiong Bufan's room. The room was filled with rare items: a television, a mobile phone, and even a radio. If she could just take out a couple of these, getting a wife would be a piece of cake.

Xiong Tianci spoke for over an hour, emphasizing that same-sex marriage is illegal in his country, and that if a man remarries within the same family, he is committing bigamy and will be fined.

Xiong Bufan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then kicked Xiong Tianci out of the room.

Cui Wudi was waiting for Xiong Tianci not far away. Xiong Tianci shook his head at her regretfully. He had not been able to persuade Xiong Bufan to drive Xiaoying away. He had talked for a long time and used so many cases he had read in books, but Xiong Bufan was just treating him as if he were telling a story.

Fortunately, Xiaoying was soon kicked out of Xiong Bufan's room and headed to her own room.

Having lived for so many years, Liu Jianping would surely find a way to drive Xiaoying away. It's a pity the school is too far from the county town, and Liu Jianping doesn't have a mobile phone. Otherwise, she would definitely call Liu Jianping back. Now, the only thing she can do is to keep an eye on her belongings. Cui Wudi secretly cheered herself on: Come on, Wudi, you're the best.

Xiong Bufan asked Kongkong, "How did the mission go?"

Kongkong: "The original owner didn't have high expectations of us, and the mission is basically complete now."

"it is good."

That night, everyone except Xiong Bufan slept soundly, with huge dark circles under their eyes. Xiong Tianci and Cui Wudi took turns keeping watch, afraid that Xiaoying would run away after stealing the things. Xiaoying, on the other hand, was planning how to take the valuables from Xiong Bufan's room and the house.

When the two kids went to school, they knocked on Xiong Bufan's door and reminded him, "Mom, be careful that Xiaoying doesn't steal things."

Xiong Bufan said confidently, "It's alright, she wouldn't dare."

And even if she steals it, I can catch her and bring her back.

A chill ran down Xiaoying's spine as she slept, as if someone was eyeing her from behind.

After seeing the two kids off, Xiong Bufan knocked on the door and asked Xiaoying to get up and cook. She didn't want to go to the factory canteen because it was too far. She preferred to stay home, where she could watch TV while waiting.

Xiaoying, still half asleep, called out impatiently, "Stop knocking! It's so early in the morning, can't a person get some sleep?"

Xiong Bufan: "Cooking? Do you want me to starve to death?"

Xiaoying finally realized her predicament and reluctantly got up to cook. She had become Cui Daqiang's concubine to swindle some money so she wouldn't have to work from dawn till dusk and could live the life of a wealthy lady. Who would have thought that now, as a concubine of the couple, she would still have to get up early to cook? What was the point of becoming Cui Daqiang's concubine in the first place? Was it to serve Cui Daqiang's whole family?

Xiong Bufan didn't care what Xiaoying was thinking; all she knew was that she had to cook when it was time to eat so that he could eat on time.

Xiaoying went to the kitchen. She was making porridge again in the morning. Looking at the salt shaker on the seasoning counter, Xiaoying had a sudden urge to do something wicked. She grabbed the salt shaker and poured more than half of it into the pot. Then, while the porridge was cooking, she started stir-frying vegetables.

Xiong Bufan was completely unaware of all this and continued to hide in the living room watching TV. The characters in the TV series knew martial arts, which reminded Xiong Bufan of the days when she learned martial arts in her previous life. She practiced again in the middle of the living room, but ended up smashing things everywhere, just like an energetic husky destroying the house. What did Xiong Bufan know? She was just a brown bear who liked to join in the fun.

The meal was ready and served. Xiaoying used the small bucket that Xiong Bufan used for eating to serve the food, while Xiaoying herself ate the leftover dry rations from last night.

Xiong Bufan looked at the porridge bucket suspiciously. The taste was off; it wasn't the same as usual. Xiong Bufan looked up at Xiaoying.

Xiaoying: "Sister, have some porridge, it'll get cold if you don't drink it soon."

This was Xiong Bufan's first time having a concubine, and she decided to give her a chance, asking, "Are you sure?"

Xiaoying nodded.

Xiong Bufan suddenly sprang up and pressed Xiaoying's face into the porridge bucket. She really didn't like people wasting food, so why did people always challenge her bottom line? Since she liked it, she would eat her fill.

Kongkong said he couldn't bear to watch and hoped Xiaoying had a strong stomach so she could hold that much porridge.
