Chapter 347 The Hunter's Little Darling 3
After receiving the money, Granny Xie took Xie Qingyu home.
Once he passed the courtyard gate, no one paid him any attention; the three people over there had already gathered together to make their plans.
Xie Qingyu groped her way back to the room where she had just woken up and closed the door.
Old Lady Xie outside glanced at the door when she heard it close, but didn't pay any attention. This annoying habit had been there since the very first day she returned.
Xie Qingyu only had time to process the system's memories at this point, but she could already piece together most of them from what had just happened.
The original owner lived with her parents in the city, but something happened and she was sent back.
Her grandmother and uncle, whom she had hardly ever met, didn't treat her, a blind girl, well, especially after they believed her parents were dead, and they wanted to get rid of this burden even more.
Especially since the original owner is now of marriageable age, she could have been sold for a good price and become a maid in a wealthy family.
Unfortunately, the original owner was blind and couldn't see, so the slave trader didn't want someone like that at all.
So she lived with Granny Xie for a while, and how she spent that time was a heartbreaking experience for the original owner.
The male protagonist of this world is a hunter from the mountains.
The kind of place where you really live in the mountains, where it takes a day or two to walk up and down the mountain.
The female lead is the same Er Ya who just pushed him into the water.
Er Ya was the one who suffered the most at home. When she reached marriageable age, she was forced to marry for a dowry.
A decent family wouldn't be worth much, so Granny Ma found her a woman who was quite old, had some money, and wanted to have a son.
Then, Er Ya's rare act of defiance against her grandmother was encountered by the male protagonist who came down from the mountain. He paid three taels of silver to take her away, and the two lived a happy life together.
The plot is full of dissatisfaction, but Xie Qingyu's physical condition has some limitations.
Putting aside her current situation, her eyesight is so poor that she can't even see the male lead if she goes out, let alone recognize him and win him over.
The best-case scenario would be to meet the male lead who is coming down the mountain before the original storyline, and see if she can make a move in advance. Otherwise, once Er Ya is bought back, it will be too late for her to take action, as she will be separated by a mountain and will not be able to cross it.
Fortunately, there is still a long time before the incident occurs, giving her time to make some plans.
Her current situation is not good. Granny Xie is even planning to sell her. If she can't be sold to a slave trader, she might as well be sold to an old widower for some money.
Xie Qingyu has only been back for a little over ten days, so there's still some room for maneuver.
Granny Xie didn't want to sell the person immediately, as that would make her seem impatient.
On the other hand, Xie Qingyu brought a box with her when she returned. The person who accompanied Xie Qingyu back said that the box contained some clothes that the young lady often wore, and even opened it to let her take a look.
Although they are all clothes, they are enough to make one's heart flutter.
Xie Qingyu had kept the box locked, and didn't even know where she had put the key.
Granny Xie thought about the clothes in the box. The fabric looked very good, and there wasn't a single patch. She was sure it could fetch a good price.
Granny Xie wanted Xie Qingyu to hand over the key, as the box was a valuable item.
If Xie Qingyu doesn't give it to her, it would be a waste to break the box open in the end.
These factors mean that Xie Qingyu can stay in the Xie family peacefully for a while longer.
The Xie family's situation is actually quite simple.
The Xie family has two sons. The elder son is Xie Qingyu's parents, who live in the city and whose fate is currently unknown. They only have one daughter, Xie Qingyu.
The second son, Xie Qingyu's uncle, the man who spoke today, has three daughters and one son.
Two of the three daughters had already been married off before Xie Qingyu arrived, leaving only one in a similar situation to Er Ya, who now shares a room with Xie Qingyu.
The son is the "lucky treasure" that Granny Xie mentioned.
He is the only son of the Xie family and the apple of Xie's mother's eye. He is thirteen years old now and studies with a scholar in town. He only comes back once every two weeks. Xie Qingyu has not seen him since she came here.
"Alright, stop laying eggs in the house. The clothes haven't been washed yet. You should wash your own clothes that you took off. Don't take advantage of your blindness to avoid doing chores!" Granny Xie's voice was very loud.
Xie Qingyu gently pressed her stomach with her hand; the discomfort there meant that she hadn't eaten a single bite of food that day.
It's already noon.
Granny Xie clearly didn't give Xie Qingyu time to eat, urging her on repeatedly, as if she couldn't bear to see Xie Qingyu enjoying her free time.
In fact, after the original owner came here, the chore she did most often was washing clothes.
She couldn't do other chores because of her blindness, but she could do laundry very well if she was careful.
Besides, people in the countryside don't have so many fuss. They only take their clothes out to wash when they're unbearably dirty, and a quick wash is enough to make them much cleaner.
The Xie family was relatively well-off, with each person having several sets of spare clothes, which is why Xie Qingyu had the job.
Fortunately, the original owner was used to doing this kind of work. Xie Qingyu groped her way out of the house, then picked up a basin from the ground. The basin contained the clothes of the whole family.
The wooden basin was quite heavy at this point, and since the original owner of this body had never done any work, Xie Qingyu felt a bit tired carrying the basin.
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, so Xie Qingyu had no choice but to comply.
Although the autumn sun is not so harsh, it can still be quite unbearable.
Xie Qingyu stumbled and staggered as she walked towards the river.
At this time, people standing outside would kindly point out which way to go when they saw Xie Qingyu, and some kind girls would lead Xie Qingyu to the riverbank.
There are quite a few people coming to do laundry at this time of day; they come during lunchtime so as not to interfere with their afternoon work.
After Xie Qingyu arrived, someone greeted her and even moved out a seat for her.
There are aunties and older women washing clothes here, so it's not appropriate for a young girl like Xie Qingyu.
The married women didn't know how to speak properly. They would talk about trivial family matters and occasionally make some suggestive remarks.
Xie Qingyu listened silently, pretending not to understand and not interrupting.
You can learn something about the village from their few words.
Whether it's someone's chicken being stolen, someone's daughter getting married, or someone's married daughter coming back for a visit.
"It's so miserable to marry into a family in the mountains; you don't even have a piece of land," an auntie said, seemingly lost in conversation.
"Of course, many people would starve to death on the mountain in winter, it's not as comfortable as it is here."
At this time, almost no one in the mountains would look up to the hunters, because no land to cultivate meant no food, which meant they would not survive.
