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

When Er Ya was brought over by her aunt, everyone felt a little sorry for her.

The thin girl had almost no flesh on her body, and her face looked sickly, making it impossible to see her expression.

Ma Erya is one of the many granddaughters in the Ma family, and also the one who does the most work.

Because he was born into the second wife's family, he wasn't favored by Old Lady Ma, so he was always the one who did the most work.

The other villagers noticed this, but no one took it seriously.

These days, all girls do the same work; there's no difference.

But Er Ya usually seems timid and cowardly, and doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something like this.

However, several people witnessed her pushing Xie Qingyu into the lake, and there's no way to refute that.

As soon as Er Ya came out, Granny Xie went up to her and pointed at her, asking, "What kind of vicious heart do you have to push my granddaughter into the water? So many people saw it, don't try to deny it."

"I accidentally bumped into her while I was walking," Er Ya replied, her voice quite loud.

She seemed to be refuting the accusation, but in reality, she was admitting that Xie Qingyu's drowning was related to her.

Granny Ma gave her a look of disappointment.

Granny Xie immediately grasped the meaning behind her words and began to wail loudly, saying that she was sorry for her deceased son and what would happen if something happened to Xie Qingyu.

Her son also stepped forward to help, spouting vulgarities, clearly going all out.

Even if the men of the Ma family intervened, there was nothing they could do about it.

In this village, it's common for families to fight each other when there's a conflict, but it's unheard of for someone to be pushed off a cliff in front of you; that would be pure murder.

Granny Xie immediately asked for two taels of silver.

Granny Ma scolded her for being blinded by greed. She said that if she raised a girl and sold her to be a maid, she would only get two taels of silver at most. This girl had fallen into the water and hadn't died, so how could she ask for two taels of silver?

“You know that your Ma family’s granddaughter is worth two taels of silver when she’s sold. Ours is different. Look at my niece. She’s beautiful and pampered by my older brother in the city. She’s a rich young lady. How can she be compared to your granddaughter who’s treated like a maid?”

Surprisingly, some people echoed his words.

Xie Qingyu was sent back more than ten days ago.

Only one horse-drawn carriage came to see them off, and it was hurriedly returned with a few belongings.

They said that her parents in the city were involved in some old matters and might be in trouble, so they sent their only daughter back to avoid trouble.

When she stepped off the carriage, the onlookers were stunned.

They had met the eldest son of the Xie family before; he was indeed more handsome, but could only be described as average.

However, Xie Qingyu Zhang, although somewhat similar to him, was very beautiful.

Her skin was whiter than tofu, and her eyes seemed to hold a pool of clear water. Every gesture she made was different from the people in her village.

It wasn't until she was helped down that they realized that these beautiful eyes were actually blind.

The person who brought her back only said that the family needed someone else, and left after bringing Xie Qingyu back.

Xie Qingyu has been staying at Granny Xie's place for several days now.

She hasn't gone out much these days.

She only encountered people when Granny Xie let her out to wash clothes, and that's when the drowning incident happened.

"Pay her back. No matter how much you disapprove, you can't take her life. She's blind and can't swim," someone said.

There are no original inhabitants in this village; they are all people who fled famine before. A few households are related, but others are not, so they are not very united.

The Ma family lived alone in this area. Although they had several sons, none of them were strong-willed and they were not as capable of handling things as Ma.

Seeing this situation, Granny Ma will inevitably have to bleed a little.

The thought of this made her furious, and she slapped Er Ya, who was standing in front of her, saying, "You brat, I'm telling you how bad you are! You even dared to push someone into the water! I'll beat you to death!"

Granny Ma didn't hold back at all; the thumping sounds made it seem like she was about to break Er Ya's bones.

Er Ya's mother was anxiously watching from the side, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to step forward to stop her mother-in-law's actions.

"It's just money, I can pay you back later, it's not like you have to beat me to death." To everyone's surprise, Er Ya stopped silently taking the beating and struggled to break free from Granny Ma's grasp, shouting loudly.

"Give it back? What are you not going to give back? Everything you eat and use is mine, and you're going to rebel!" Granny Ma was even more furious at the resistance, and she grabbed a stick to hit him.

This time, someone stepped forward.

However, it was Granny Xie who stepped forward to stop her. "You can hit her whenever you want, even if you beat her to death, I won't care. Now you have to pay compensation first. We still spent money to hire a doctor, and we will buy some good things to nourish her body in the future. Give me two taels of silver first."

Granny Ma threw down her stick, ready to have a good argument with Granny Xie.

They definitely won't give me two taels of silver.

The family doesn't save even two taels of silver all year round, so why would they give it away like this?

The argument escalated, and the Ma family adopted a firm stance.

Of course, Granny Xie wasn't really after the two taels of silver.

As soon as she received the silver tael, Granny Xie immediately got up from the ground.

Overjoyed, she put the silver into her bosom, looking at her son and husband who had stood up for her, feeling very happy.

With this one or two taels of silver, her eldest grandson would have enough money to get married.

After putting the silver away, she didn't forget to turn back and speak to Granny Ma in a feigned tone, "We're just from the same village, so I can't make a big fuss about this for you. If something like this happens outside, the soldiers will inevitably come and take the person away. At that point, it won't be something that you can solve with just a tael of silver. I'm just being kind."

Her words were mostly sarcastic, and sounded rather rude.

The Ma family could only feel angry but dared not speak out.

"And another thing, your granddaughter is quite something. Not only can she push people into the water, but she also dares to talk back to you. She seems to have a bright future ahead of her. You'll still have to rely on her in the future. Don't beat her to death, just teach her a lesson."

After finishing her sentence, Granny Xie left happily.

She took a couple of steps before remembering that Xie Qingyu was still standing there.

Now that she had the money, she was happy. She turned around and took Xie Qingyu's hand, her tone feigning concern, "Come on, Grandma will take you to see if you still need to take medicine and rest."

Although everyone present knew she was lying, she had no affection for her granddaughter who had returned from the city. It was good enough if she didn't make her work, let alone spend money on her medical treatment, which she thought was impossible.
