Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

The blue brick floor was swept clean, and many bamboos were planted in the corner of the wall. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and splashed near the well.

A man is standing by the well, drawing water with a serious expression.

The rope was worn smooth. He held the reel in one hand and the rope in the other. After the reel turned a few times, the rope was slowly pulled up.

The servants around him stood there, bowls in hand, looking utterly dejected. They would fetch water themselves if they wanted some; the general was truly too concerned about their daily water intake…

General Ji did not rush to pull it up. When he reached the last section, he lowered his wrist and then lifted it up, and a bucket full of well water was pulled out.

"Come and have some water!" General Ji said gruffly.

The servant holding the bowl had no choice but to stand in front of General Ji. General Ji picked up the bucket and poured the cool well water into the bowl.

"Is that enough?"

"Enough! Enough!"

"Is that enough?"

"General, that's enough!"

The servant quickly finished drinking the water in the bowl.

General Ji frowned as he watched them drink water: "It's so hot, you should drink more water."

After he had fetched water for the servants, he looked at the noble lady beside him, paused, and coughed, "Madam, would you like some too?"

Madam Ji glared at him, and General Ji gave an awkward smile.

"Madam, you look good even when you glare at people."

General Ji then looked at the old steward beside him, carrying the bucket of water, and said with a smile, "Old man, would you like a bowl?"

The old steward's lips twitched: "General, this old servant is getting on in years, so please allow me to have some hot tea."

He suspected that the general didn't want to support him in his old age, and was making him drink these cold and icy drinks every day.

General Ji sighed regretfully upon hearing this.

Just then, a servant rushed in in a panic.

"General, something terrible has happened!"

The servant held a letter in his hand, his face full of tension: "Someone has delivered a challenge to you."

Madam Ji ate some chilled fruit and chuckled, "You must have offended people before, because your enemies are coming after you."

General Ji's expression finally turned serious. He took the letter from the servant and looked at the two crookedly written words "Declaration of War." His expression became even more serious.

He opened the challenge letter, and the words on it were immediately revealed before his eyes.

【Hey Ji, the leader and second leader of Black Wind Stronghold are here to take you in. See you in a few days!】

General Ji frowned deeply, his expression grave: "Which stronghold is Black Wind Stronghold?"

"Is it the village where I stole the pigs, or the village where I stole the ducks...?"

He's offended so many gangs that he can't distinguish them anymore.

Madam Ji snatched the letter, and immediately smiled upon reading it. Her eyes crinkled into a smile: "Xiao Cui, prepare the dishes these next few days, waiting for that big gang leader to come back as a guest."

Xiao Cui laughed and said, "Hey!"

General Ji looked at Madam Ji in surprise and followed beside her, "Madam, do you know the leader of Black Wind Stronghold? Who is he?"

"Madam, he said he wanted to take me in, and you even cooked for him!"

Madam Ji slapped the letter in his face: "Shut up."

"Oh……"

The carriage drove along a dirt road, and gradually people began to appear ahead. On the ridges of the fields, villagers were bending over and working. The jujube trees by the roadside were lush with leaves, and many jujubes had fallen to the ground.

In the front courtyard, an old woman was sitting on a stool washing vegetables. Hearing the sound of the carriage, she looked up and squinted at it a few times.

In the distance, I saw a person standing on a carriage, waving incessantly.

The old woman paused for a moment, hesitated, stood up, and took a few steps forward.

"aunt!"

"Auntie, I've come to buy dates—"

The voice came from outside. The old woman's eyes lit up when she heard the familiar voice. She wiped the water off her hands, quickly went outside into the yard, and called out.

"Miss Ji, Miss Ji, you're back!"

The villagers nearby all looked over curiously.

When the carriage came to a smooth stop at the gate of the courtyard, the old lady was overjoyed and quickly helped Ji Chaoxi down.

Ji Chaoxi jumped down with a swish and laughed, "Auntie, I don't need your help."

She's incredibly capable.

The old woman smiled and replied, "Okay, okay."

She thought Miss Ji was just bluffing her, but she didn't expect her to actually come.

She had met Xu Ancheng and Qin Qiwu before, but she was indeed a bit unfamiliar with Fu Xianyan.

Ji Chaoxi walked into the courtyard and said boldly, "Auntie, pack up the dates for us."

The old woman's eyes crinkled with laughter as she handed the dates to the four men, saying, "Gentlemen, please try them and see if they're delicious."

Qin Qiwu took a bite and said softly, "It's delicious."

Xu Ancheng nodded vigorously.

Fu Xianyan quietly ate the dates, one after another.

The old woman looked at Ji Chaoxi and tentatively said, "Miss Ji, these dates are all handpicked, they're all very good. We're so familiar with each other, how about I sell them to you for five coins a pound?"

There were people coming to the village to buy dates, but they all offered very low prices, and she was prepared for Ji Chaoxi to haggle.

Qin Qiwu and Xu Ancheng were stunned when they heard the price; how could it be so much cheaper than in the county?

Ji Chaoxi shook her head seriously.

Fu Xianyan frowned and put down the dates. How could they make money selling them so cheaply?

The old woman's heart jumped into her throat. She gave a few dry laughs and said, "Yes, yes, you can have a smaller amount. How much do you think is suitable?"

There are too many jujube trees in the village; we can't sell them all. We'll sell as many as we can.

Ji Chaoxi exclaimed, "How can it be so cheap? Don't you even know who I am?!"

Is she someone who's short of money?

The old woman looked at Ji Chaoxi and tentatively asked, "Miss Ji, your surname should be Ji, right?"

She must have called me correctly.

Fu Xianyan frowned and said, "That's not important. The big boss has plenty of money."

The old woman was startled: "Oh my, Miss Ji is the leader of the gang?"

Ji Chaoxi nodded shyly.

"Auntie, please weigh it first, and I'll pay you accordingly later."

The old lady quickly started weighing the girl. She remarked on how imposing this young lady was, revealing that she was actually a member of the martial arts world.

"So young and already so amazing," the old lady's eyes lit up as she looked at Ji Chaoxi.

Ji Chaoxi naturally noticed the old woman's gaze, and she coughed, "Second Chief, move the dates to the cart."

"Okay." Fu Xianyan immediately started moving the dates.

Xu Ancheng, being very perceptive, also went to move some.

Qin Qiwu was calculating money with the old lady.

The two quickly reached an agreement.

Ji Chaoxi was completely bewildered by the long string of words the old woman was spouting, including how many coins and how many coins.

She simply pulled a gold ingot from her pocket and said calmly, "Keep the change."

The old woman wept with joy. Holding the gold ingot, she stammered, "How can this be... this won't do, Miss Ji, Chief, this won't do..."

Standing on the carriage, Ji Chaoxi said calmly, "Auntie, it is also the responsibility of Black Wind Village to help the people sell their dates."

The old woman's eyes welled up with tears. "What exactly is this Black Wind Stronghold? Why is it so wonderful?"
