Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

He Shen's expression was no different from the others, his eyes fixed on Liu Qingqing, as if waiting for her to speak.

Seeing Liu Qingqing looking at him, a helpless smile appeared in his eyes. "Did Liu Qingqing get scared after falling into the water and misremember?"

Even though He Shen didn't have much of an expression when he said those words, it inexplicably made people feel close to him.

Liu Qingqing forced a wry smile. "I must have remembered it wrong."

"If you're mistaken, you're mistaken. Why do you look at me like Qingyu bullied you?" The one who spoke up was Aunt Guifen, who lived next door to Xie Qingyu. Her husband was the brigade leader.

"No," Liu Qingqing quickly explained, "I must have misremembered. I wronged Qingyu. I'm sorry."

She spoke softly and looked pitiful, so some young men who couldn't stand it spontaneously stepped in to smooth things over.

"It's good that you remembered it wrong. Liu Zhiqing was also frightened. At least she fell into the water. Let's go back first."

While they were talking, other female educated youths from the educated youth settlement came over. They didn't know much about what had happened, only that Liu Qingqing had fallen into the water.

Hearing this, he quickly went to help Liu Qingqing up from the ground and took her back.

Xie Qingyu said loudly, "Liu Zhiqing, remember what you said today: your falling into the water has nothing to do with me. Don't let rumors spread in a couple of days that I pushed you into the water."

With so many people watching, Liu Qingqing could only nod slightly.

Xie Qingyu's expression finally calmed down, and she stepped forward and ripped off her coat. "It seems that Liu Zhiqing doesn't need my kindness."

It's summer, so people are already wearing less clothing.

After Liu Qingqing fell into the water, her clothes clung to her body, outlining her curves.

Xie Qingyu's sudden action startled her, and she hugged herself tightly.

"What are you doing?" Ma Zhiqing, who had rushed over, couldn't help but ask when he saw Xie Qingyu's actions.

"Take my own clothes." Xie Qingyu glared back without giving her any leeway.

Ma Zhiqing looked at the clothes in her hand, a light blue outer jacket, which was definitely not Liu Qingqing's clothes.

None of the three female educated youths who came over were wearing coats, so they could only reach out and hug Liu Qingqing to prevent her from being seen by others.

Xie Qingyu watched her actions and said, "She's supposed to be an educated youth from the city, but she's treating my kindness like dirt. Bah!"

Several educated youths blushed at Xie Qingyu's words, but couldn't say anything.

Even if she had something to say, she didn't want to go against Xie Qingyu for Liu Qingqing's sake, after all, her father was the Party Secretary.

Unable to argue or win a fight, the group had no choice but to send Liu Qingqing back home first.

Xie Qingyu withdrew her gaze and shouted twice to the crowd still watching the commotion, "Everyone, disperse."

As the crowd dispersed, Xie Qingyu picked up her coat and turned to walk back.

She turned around and saw He Shen still standing there, looking at her.

He Shen's clothes were also soaked through and clung to his body, clearly showing the outline of his broad shoulders and strong muscles in his arms.

The clothes were bunched up around her abdomen, so no one knew how many muscles were hidden underneath.

Xie Qingyu looked at him without any impure thoughts, probably because she no longer liked the educated youth. She also gave him a disapproving look and walked past him without paying him any attention.

The gentle expression that had been on He Shen's face slowly disappeared. He turned around and looked at Xie Qingyu's departing figure. There was a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then they gradually brightened.

This was the first time He Shen had received such a direct expression of dislike.

Or rather, very few people express such undisguised emotions in this way.

He Shen's eyes gradually lit up with interest, and he only turned and walked towards the educated youth settlement when he could no longer see Xie Qingyu's figure.

Xie Qingyu didn't realize that the gaze behind her had disappeared until after she turned the corner.

She slightly curled her lips, but did not turn around.

"Oh, it's time to eat, you know you're back." Xie Qingyu heard a sarcastic voice as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Looking up, I saw the original owner's second sister-in-law.

He had always been at odds with the original owner of the body, disapproving of how she was treated at home, and would find any opportunity to say a few words to her.

The original owner was spoiled by her family and would always argue with her.

Unfortunately, the women who weren't married weren't willing to risk everything, resulting in a near-total defeat for them.

However, this second sister-in-law only dared to do this when the original owner's parents and brothers were not around.

"Isn't it stupid to not come back after a meal? Second sister-in-law, don't you know to come back?" Xie Qingyu said.

"Who's the idiot? You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots." Xie Ersao was very sensitive to this word because her younger brother was an idiot, and even now that he was over twenty, his mind was still like that of a three or four-year-old child.

Xie Qingyu put the clothes in her hand into the large basin in the yard before looking up at her, "My whole family, including the wooden stump?"

Mudun was Xie Ersao's son, the apple of her eye.

“The wooden stump is quite clever,” Sister Xie retorted.

She only realized what was happening when Xie Qingyu smiled and went into the room.

It seems I didn't win this argument?

If I say anything to this girl, she'll yell back, and since I can't out-shout her, she'll go and complain.

Her in-laws are really something. She's just a worthless little girl who's about to get married, yet they treat her like she's something special, pampered to the extreme.

Look at this jacket, what a beautiful color and what fine material! If you were to make clothes for her wooden stump, there would be enough for a whole set and more.

They insisted on making an outer garment for the little girl, saying they were afraid she would get sunburned and her skin would peel in the summer.

Two clueless old men.

Sister-in-law Xie was furious at losing this time and couldn't stand the sight of Xie Qingyu's door.

Seeing her come back in a different outfit made me even more annoyed.

"Why change into such fancy clothes? You might as well make a couple for Mudun so he'll be filial to you in the future." Xie Ersao glanced at Xie Qingyu's clothes.

Everyone has two sets of clothes to alternate wearing; when she was at her parents' home, she only had one set.

Even if the father-in-law is rich, he'll leave it to his grandson. What family would give all that money to their daughter who's about to get married? She'd have several sets of clothes to wear.

"I don't expect Mudun to be filial to me. Why don't you stop hoarding your fabric and give it to Mudun to make some for you, so that Mudun can properly take care of you?" Xie Qingyu said with a smile.

Xie Ersao secretly took some fabric back to her parents' home. Hearing Xie Qingyu's words, she felt guilty and dared not say a word.

"Anyway, you're just a girl, you don't need to wear that." Sister-in-law Xie wanted to say something more.

"She can't wear it, and you can't either." A sharp voice rang out from outside, followed by a woman in her fifties carrying a shovel.

Sister-in-law Xie immediately shrank back in fright, "I didn't say anything."

Wang Guifang couldn't care less about her at this moment. She put down the shovel and took a few steps to Xie Qingyu. She helped her up and down and looked her over. Only after seeing that she was alright did she ask, "I heard someone say that someone framed you. What happened?"

Wang Guifang looked nervous, and her affection for Xie Qingyu was evident in her expression.
