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

He Shenfen's homestead was not far from the Xie family's, but it was still some distance away.

The area around Xie's house is occupied, while He Shen's place is on the edge of the village.

However, the advantage of being on the edge is that there is more space.

This plot of land was chosen from three options, and Xie Qingyu's opinion was taken into consideration when the final selection was made.

Then construction began.

People in the countryside build houses relatively quickly. He Shenqiu had already arranged for the bricks before the autumn harvest, and now with the help of other villagers, they were able to build the house directly.

Lunch is provided when building a house here.

He Shen didn't have any cooking utensils either, and the original plan was to just give them a subsidy so they could go home for lunch.

However, after Wang Guifang found out, she immediately made him give up the idea.

Every day, the meals are prepared at the Xie family's house and then delivered over.

The three Xie brothers would come early every day to help, along with Xie Qingyu's cousins. Basically, the house could be built without needing anyone else.

Before the house was built, He Shen discussed it with Xie Qingyu using the blueprints.

He drew three different layouts and let Xie Qingyu choose the one she liked.

In addition to that, he also wants to build a high wall.

The walls were relatively low in those days, so you could see inside without having to stand on tiptoe. Also, there wasn't much to steal from a typical house.

So when He Shen wanted to build this wall, some people said he was wasting bricks.

He Shen's answer was that their house was too close to the mountain and on the edge of the village, and they were afraid that living things might come down from the mountain.

Some people felt that He Shen's reasoning was not very valid, but He Shen completely ignored them.

The fact that he was willing to give a reason was already a pretense of friendliness.

He doesn't need to explain his tasks to others.

Xie Qingyu was quite satisfied with the courtyard wall.

Although the village is peaceful, she is not used to eating at home, and people passing by outside will greet her.

Or perhaps someone is peering over the wall when something happens at home.

Secretary Xie was quite satisfied with the wall.

After they got married, there were only the two of them at home. If He Shen had to go to town to help out or go to another town and couldn't come back for a whole day, he would worry about Xie Qingyu being home alone.

It's also convenient to build high walls.

Since none of the parties involved had any objections, no one paid any attention to what the others said.

He Shen's house was built in a grand style; it was a three-room brick house, and there were only a few like it in the entire brigade.

At first, some people said that He Shen had become a live-in son-in-law, or that he wanted to follow the path of Secretary Xie to return to the city.

Once He Shen's house was built, no one talked about it anymore.

However, what replaced this was various versions of the story between He Shen and Xie Qingyu.

Some say it was love at first sight, others say it was because they were both together for nothing, and still others say it was because Xie Qingyu threatened He Shen to be with her.

Anyway, with all sorts of bizarre stories, the couple's marriage has become the talk of the village these days.

The first one at the educated youth settlement to lose his temper was Feng, an educated youth.

After He Shen left once again with the words that he wouldn't eat at the educated youth settlement, Feng Jianguo finally couldn't help but complain, "He's managed to get close to Secretary Xie."

He Shen didn't eat at the educated youth settlement; his daily food rations were distributed among the other educated youth at the settlement.

Skinny Monkey, eating his share of porridge, said, "You can do it if you want, but it's a bit late now."

"I won't take those crooked paths." Feng Jianguo pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with disdain.

Skinny Monkey curled his lips, "Then why do you care about him? He married Xie Qingyu, not Secretary Xie. What do you mean by 'clinging to Secretary Xie'? You're eating his food and you don't even appreciate his kindness."

At the educated youth settlement, everyone ate at the same table.

Although the autumn harvest had just ended, the grain had not yet been distributed, and each person in the educated youth settlement didn't have much food left.

He Shen's daily rations were considered an extra meal for them.

"We're here to help the rural people, not to get married," Feng Jianguo began to boast.

“Building a rural area won’t stop you from getting married and having children,” Skinny Monkey retorted. “Besides, you’ve had your way with Xie Qingyu, but she just ignores you. Otherwise, you would have already rushed off to marry her.”

"Enough!" Liu Qingqing finally lost her temper.

Her words startled everyone else.

After all, Liu Qingqing has always had a relatively gentle image.

"Qingqing, don't be sad. It must be Xie Qingyu who did something. When you first came to the countryside, He Zhiqing was very nice to you. We all thought you two were a couple." Ma Zhiqing began to comfort Liu Qingqing.

It has to be said that Ma Zhiqing's words resonated deeply with Liu Qingqing.

Upon hearing this, the people at the educated youth settlement were all somewhat afraid to speak, especially the female educated youth.

After all, according to Liu Qingqing at the beginning, she and He Shen were childhood sweethearts who grew up in the same place. When they were both going to the countryside, they specifically chose to go together so that they could look after each other.

According to this explanation, the two of them are already a couple.

As a result, He Shen was about to get married to someone else in less than half a year after he went to the countryside.

"When you first came to the countryside, the introduction said you were neighbors you knew, but it didn't say you two were a couple. Now that he's getting married, you're practically part of his family. Shouldn't you be happy?" Skinny Monkey asked sincerely.

He didn't mean anything by Yin Yang Liu Qingqing.

But what he said was really unpleasant to hear.

There weren't many people at the educated youth settlement, but they had quite a few ulterior motives.

When He Sheng first arrived, his conditions were clearly better than others, and it wasn't that no one at the educated youth settlement had any designs on him.

After all, if you stay here for too long and see no hope of going home, you might start thinking about settling down and starting a family here.

They didn't want to find someone from the countryside, so they wanted to choose from among the educated youth.

He Shen is undoubtedly the best candidate.

However, Liu Qingqing intentionally or unintentionally revealed her identity from the beginning, as if the two were in love, which dispelled the other people's thoughts.

However, after living together for a while, it became clear that He Shen had no feelings for Liu Qingqing at all.

However, the technique Liu Qingqing mentioned led people to mistakenly believe that the two had a close relationship.

Now that Liu Qingqing is in this situation, no one except Ma Zhiqing is willing to help her out.

Liu Qingqing was stumped by the skinny monkey's two sentences, so she threw down her chopsticks, stood up, and left.

No one went up to follow her. When Ma Zhiqing saw her leave, his eyes were fixed on the barely touched rice in Liu Qingqing's bowl. If Liu Qingqing didn't eat it, then it was hers.

Xie Qingyu hadn't expected Liu Qingqing to come looking for her at this critical juncture, especially since she came alone, without any of her lackeys.

"I have something to tell you," Liu Qingqing said as she entered the courtyard.

"I won't listen," Xie Qingyu replied directly.
