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

"What!" Xie Xixing couldn't understand how Xie Qingyu's marriage could be arranged just by going to town and driving a tractor back.

"What do you mean by preparing a dowry for Nan Nan? She's getting married? And who is she marrying? She didn't even let me meet her before deciding? I don't agree!" Xie Xixing had returned in high spirits, but the news of Xie Qingyu's upcoming marriage completely shattered his world.

"What are you yelling about? Nan Nan is at the age where she should get married. Are you just going to watch her become an old maid if she doesn't get married?" Wang Guifang retorted irritably.

She was still planning that this time after the autumn harvest would be perfect, with enough grain to make for a grand feast. He Shen arrived late and couldn't exchange his work points for much grain, but her family could still contribute.

Anyway, the people from the village they invite will all be their relatives.

Since the groom's family members are not from this area, there is no custom that the bride's relatives cannot attend the wedding banquet.

"I haven't even met her, and I only went out for a morning. How could we have made a decision? What kind of ugly person can marry Nan Nan? Did Nan Nan even agree to it?" Xie Xixing was agitated.

The others hadn't returned yet, and he assumed that Secretary Xie had arranged the marriage for Xie Qingyu.

Unfortunately, when he came back just now, Secretary Xie knew that the tractor was coming, so he went to the brigade headquarters.

Otherwise, Xie Xixing would be questioning him right now in front of his father.

"Why are you making such a fuss now? Where were you before?" Wang Guifang's words startled Xie Xixing.

"What do you mean 'early morning'? I went to drive the tractor this morning, and you didn't say anyone wanted to propose marriage!" Xie Xixing's voice was full of grievance.

Wang Guifang rolled her eyes at him, "When He Zhiqing came to our house every day, you didn't stop him."

"Then why should I stop him? He..." Xie Xixing's words were cut short when a sudden realization struck him, and his voice rose sharply, "You said it was He Shen who wanted to marry Nan Nan!"

"I thought you knew that," Wang Guifang said, her hands busy making calculations, before finally looking at Xie Xixing properly.

Xie Xixing didn't notice Wang Guifang's gaze; he just felt like the sky had fallen.

"That brat, is he trying to steal our house?" Xie Xixing said as he headed out towards the educated youth settlement.

Wang Guifang didn't stop him.

Xie Qingyu, who had just returned from Chun Tao's place next door, bumped into Xie Xixing, who was angrily about to leave, at the gate of the courtyard. "Where are you going?"

Xie Xixing glared at her, giving her a look that said, "Go find that brat."

Originally, because He Shen was a few months older than Xie Xixing, Xie Xixing respected him a little more and introduced him to Xie Qingyu as "Brother He Shen".

Now that he knows this news, He Shen has become a rascal in his mouth.

Xie Xixing stormed out, and returned in a rage not long after.

He Shen is not at the educated youth settlement. The people there said he went out by bicycle, so he definitely won't be back anytime soon.

Xie Xixing arrived empty-handed and had no choice but to return to find Xie Qingyu.

When Xie Xixing returned, Xie Qingyu was in the kitchen tending the fire for Wang Guifang.

Xie Xixing came in and took the firewood from her hand to add to the stove, then told her to sit a little further away from the fire.

"When did that brat He Shen hook up with you?" Xie Xixing gritted his teeth, then Wang Guifang slapped him on the head.

"How dare you talk like that!" Wang Guifang said disdainfully.

Xie Xixing shrank his neck. "I'm interrogating you, Mother, please don't interrupt me."

Wang Guifang found his nervousness amusing. He was of marriageable age, yet he seemed oblivious to it and remained clueless.

Xie Qingyu had fallen for someone right under his nose, but he only found out at the very end.

Silly boy.

Wang Guifang could complain in her heart, but Xie Qingyu couldn't.

She gave Xie Xixing a guilty look and offered a fawning expression, "Brother, are you hot? Let me heat you up."

Xie Xixing pushed away Xie Qingyu's outstretched hand, "Hurry up and confess honestly, is it that kid who's been flirting with you behind your back?"

After Xie Xixing finished speaking, he subconsciously shrank his neck. He was still not used to not receiving Wang Guifang's slap.

"No, not really." Even though Xie Qingyu is usually bold, she was still a little shy when talking about this kind of thing.

"So you've taken a liking to him?" Xie Xixing asked again.

Xie Qingyu nodded without hesitation this time.

Xie Xixing gave him a look of utter disappointment, "What do you see in him?"

Xie Qingyu blinked and started counting on her fingers, "Good-looking, tall, skilled, good at handling things..."

Xie Xixing couldn't find a way to refute it after listening. "Then you can't just look at these things when you get married. Family background is also very important."

“Father has already agreed,” Xie Qingyu said directly.

Xie Xixing knew that Secretary Xie had even higher requirements for his son-in-law.

Hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief, even though Xie Qingyu's words made a lot of sense.

But he had a lump in his throat, and he felt he couldn't vent his anger without beating He Shen a couple of times.

Who would have thought that when I called him "brother," he wanted to be my brother-in-law!

“You and He Zhiqing had such a good relationship, but now you’re dissatisfied,” Wang Guifang said to him.

“A buddy is a buddy, and a brother-in-law is a brother-in-law. Can they be judged by the same standards? With his looks, he attracts all sorts of girls. So many girls like him.” Xie Xixing still couldn’t accept it.

“Your sister is pretty too, so their baby will definitely be beautiful,” Wang Guifang said with experience.

When she first approached Secretary Xie, it was because he was the best-looking man. Now, looking at the children she gave birth to, they are all exceptionally beautiful.

Xie Xixing didn't say anything more after hearing this, but anyone could tell he was still unhappy.

When Xie Dongxing and Xie Beixing returned and learned that they were preparing a dowry for Xie Qingyu, the whole family was in an uproar.

Each one reacted more strongly than the last.

“We only went out to work for a morning, how could we have arranged my sister’s marriage?” Xie Dongxing was the first to object.

Xie Beixing remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Wang Guifang, demanding an explanation.

Wang Guifang told them directly about He Shen bringing things over that morning, "He came to ask about dating Nan Nan, not to get engaged, so I didn't call you over."

“That won’t work either. What’s the difference between this and an engagement?” Xie Dongxing said.

Xie Beixing was even more direct; upon hearing that the person he was marrying was He Shen, he immediately elbowed Xie Xixing.

"You've done a great job, letting the wolf into the house."

"Second brother, you..." Xie Xixing felt extremely wronged.

Even Xie Dongxing looked at him with that kind of gaze, implying that he should take the blame.

"Alright, if you have any complaints, wait until your father gets back. There's no rush now. We'll talk about their matter after the autumn harvest," Wang Guifang said, stopping everyone's complaints.

However, that didn't stop Xie Xixing from sneaking off to the educated youth settlement again that night.

Then I returned feeling refreshed.

It wasn't until the next day, when Xie Qingyu saw the bruises on He Shen's face and the way he was complaining to him, that she understood what Xie Xixing had been doing secretly the night before.
