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

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense." He Shen's voice wasn't stern, but it sent chills down one's spine.

Especially since it was so different from He Shen's usual smiling demeanor, it immediately made people realize that he had said something wrong.

"You rescued her last time, so you should take responsibility..." Aunt Wang muttered.

"What Aunt Wang means is that if you see someone fall into the water next time, you must not save them. If you save them, you'll have to marry them. If you save a child, will you have to make them your child's bride? Aunt Wang, you should watch your child carefully so they don't fall into the water, otherwise no one will dare to save them."

"How dare you speak like that?" Aunt Wang's health wasn't good; she had finally given birth to a son and a daughter, whom she cherished like the apple of her eye.

He Shen's words carried a hint of threat.

"I was just trying to be helpful, I might have been a bit blunt, but please don't take offense, Aunt Wang." He Shen's smile didn't reach his eyes.

But one can't hit a smiling face, so Aunt Wang felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking.

He Shen's words silenced the people who had been discussing heatedly, and some even looked at Liu Qingqing's face.

After all, Liu Qingqing didn't refute what they were saying just now.

After all that, some people started to figure it out.

He Shen was unaware of what had happened before he arrived, and he didn't even know that Liu Qingqing was washing clothes over there. His gaze was only drawn to Xie Qingyu over there.

He could clearly feel Xie Qingyu listening intently as he spoke.

Thinking about the question she asked last time, which he hadn't answered when he was interrupted, he wondered how he could not know when he had hugged Liu Qingqing in the grove.

I need to find a time to explain this to her.

He Shen's mind was filled with images of Xie Qingyu listening to gossip. Luckily, he had made things clear here, otherwise, who knows what kind of story she would have told him later.

Xie Qingyu hadn't expected He Shen to respond so directly.

After all, He Shen always wore a mask when interacting with people in the village. He seemed easy to talk to, but in reality, he was quite distant.

This is the first time I've ever been so blunt in my criticism.

This was somewhat unexpected.

When Xie Qingyu looked at He Shen again, she met his gaze.

Both of them paused for a moment, then casually looked away.

Logically speaking, the two should be familiar with each other now, but in front of so many people, they still acted as if they had never met before.

After Chuntao finished washing up, Xie Qingyu went back with her.

The two talked for a while at Chun Tao's house and agreed to go to the back mountain together after having lunch.

After they went back and told Wang Guifen, Wang Guifen absolutely refused, telling them to go in the afternoon because it was too hot at noon.

In the afternoon, while Xie Qingyu was packing her things to go up the mountain, Xie Xixing returned.

Xie Qingyu looked at him, who seemed rather self-satisfied, and asked her with a puzzled expression, "Where have you been? And why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Xixing strode up to Xie Qingyu, patted her head, and looked into the main room.

"Mother just went up the mountain with Auntie, she's not home."

Hearing that Wang Guifen wasn't home, Xie Xixing finally dared to speak, "Brother beat those two up for you!"

Xie Xixing's voice was full of pride.

"You went to the city again!" Xie Qingyu was somewhat shocked.

"I didn't sleep well at all last night. I was so angry at those two. Luckily, your brother has someone in town who can talk to people at the police station in the city. I was dragged out of bed before dawn and taken to the city. I got a good beating."

Xie Xixing was still somewhat indignant when he said this.

If the two men hadn't been beaten beyond recognition when he arrived, he could have killed them if he had gone any further. He couldn't go too far, so he could only vent his anger a little and didn't get his fill of beating them.

"Thank you, brother!" Xie Qingyu went up and gave Xie Xixing a hug.

Xie Xixing stood there, feeling secretly pleased.

It felt like I hadn't slept all night, and that leading people all the way to the city, fighting them, and rushing back without stopping made it all worthwhile.

"It's enough that you know I'm doing well." Xie Xixing said with a touch of arrogance.

"They said the two of them only had a little over a dollar on them, and they gave you the two tickets. Keep them for yourself, don't give them to your mother," Xie Xixing reminded Xie Qingyu.

"?" Xie Qingyu was taken aback. "Only a little over one dollar?"

"It's a bit little, but it seems like we can't find anything else. We can't exactly search the whole house, so this is some compensation. I won't tell Mother about this, or she'll kill me. So you can keep the money for yourself," Xie Xixing said.

Xie Qingyu thought about the dozen or so yuan and a pile of receipts under the bed...

If it wasn't one of those two people, then there's only one possibility.

"Well, then I'll keep it for myself." Xie Qingyu didn't intend to tell Xie Xixing.

"Alright. What are you packing up to do?" Xie Xixing looked at Xie Qingyu's changed clothes and the basket on her back placed at her feet.

"I'm going up the mountain with Chun Tao," Xie Qingyu said. "Have you eaten? You didn't sleep at all last night. You should get some sleep first. Dinner won't be ready for a while."

"I'm going to take a nap. You two be careful going up the mountain. Just stay at the foot of the mountain." Xie Xixing only felt the pain in his legs now, but he still remembered to remind them.

Seeing Xie Xixing return to his room, Xie Qingyu also went back to her own room to check the things under her bed.

Compared to two tickets for one yuan, this is more than ten times more.

Xie Qingyu recalled the way He Shen had told her these things; it seemed like he had taken them out of his pocket.

Xie Qingyu lowered her eyes, looking at the money.

Here comes the opportunity.

When Xie Qingyu and Chun Tao went up the mountain, it wasn't particularly hot anymore.

“I found it yesterday when I went up the mountain, but I’m not sure if it’s a rabbit burrow.” Chun Tao said excitedly, “But it’s a bit deep. I went up with them yesterday without realizing it. After I found it, I didn’t have time to look at it before they said we went too deep and we had to come down quickly.”

"Why didn't you tell your brother?" Xie Qingyu asked.

"You know they don't let us go in. If they knew I went that far, they'd scold me again," Chun Tao said, displeased.

Mingming sometimes went inside with the other girls in the village, but neither her family nor Xie Qingyu's family allowed them to go inside.

If I told my family, I'd definitely get scolded.

"Let's go take a look today. I brought some fire; we'll see if we can use the smoke to smoke it out. If we catch a rabbit, we'll have done a great job!"

Chuntao was in high spirits.

Villagers, including Wang Guifen, would venture deeper into the mountains, and the areas they frequented were generally safe.

"Okay." Xie Qingyu was indeed experiencing catching rabbits for the first time.

The two of them went up the mountain together, completely unaware of what was behind them.
