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

Unbeknownst to Xie Qingyu, Xie's mother and Xie Lao Er, who had just started discussing Qiu Jie's marriage, also mentioned her.

"It's a pity she's blind. If she weren't blind, she could have gotten much more money if she had married her off." When Granny Xie first saw Xie Qingyu, she thought she looked like a daughter of an official, with an air of elegance about her.

"There might be some people who like blind ones, but only wealthy families. Maybe there are some in the city, but no one in our town would buy them." Xie Lao Er was familiar with the situation in the town.

"No rush. Wait until the weather cools down and the trouble on the eldest son's side subsides. Then you can take her to the city to ask for the money. If you can get it back, it'll be five taels of silver." Hearing about five taels of silver in just two days, Granny Xie really felt like she was about to strike it rich.

"Is my eldest brother still alive?" Xie Lao Er asked.

His older brother lives in the city, but not in their city.

The other city was far away; he had only heard of it but never been there.

I have no idea what the situation is over there.

His older brother left home when he was young to work there. He would send a few coins back home every month, but then he stopped sending them for a while, saying that he had gotten married and never brought his wife back to see him.

His memory of his older brother had long since become hazy.

Granny Xie had no time to think about her eldest son. "He's shrewd. If there's any chance of turning things around, he'll let his daughter take all the family's possessions back so he can make a comeback. Look at her closet, all she has are neatly packed clothes and some trinkets. They're useless. I know she left in a hurry; she's probably dead."

"Then I'll take her to the city," Xie Lao Er said, also thinking about the five taels of silver.

If he can get it back, he'll tell his mother that they only gave him half, and the rest went into his own pocket. He doesn't know how much alcohol he could drink with that.

"Yes, we'll find her a husband later. Even though she can't see, she's good-looking, and there's bound to be someone willing to pay for her." Granny Xie understood the logic behind this.

"I'll find out for her right away," Xie Lao Er said happily.

When Xie Qingyu finished washing the clothes, Sister Qiu came to pick her up.

It was just lunchtime, and Sister Qiu, who had returned from the mountain, had already arrived.

When Qiu Jie went back, she was carrying a basin. Although she didn't say a word to Xie Qingyu, Xie Qingyu knew that she was afraid that she couldn't carry it and wanted to lighten her burden.

Sister Qiu probably felt that the two of them were already somewhat familiar, and it seemed a bit inappropriate not to speak, so she said, "After Ma Erya was severely beaten, she was like a different person. She insisted that her father and her grandmother separate the family."

Sister Qiu knew about Xie Qingyu being pushed into the river by Er Ya.

She hadn't really believed that Er Ya would actually do it before; Er Ya was incredibly cowardly, never retaliating when hit or cursed.

People usually avoid each other on the street, so why would someone suddenly push you away and whisper to you for no reason?

It must have been her grandma and dad who came to their house to make a scene and cause trouble, all just to get money.

But after hearing about Er Ya's situation these past two days, and seeing Er Ya's expression when she met her on the mountain, Qiu Jie began to believe that she had pushed Xie Qingyu into the river.

It explodes as soon as you touch it, just like a firecracker.

No one can talk to her for more than a few minutes, or they'll get a scolding.

"Did she succeed in getting a divorce?" Xie Qingyu was still a little curious about this.

“No, her parents are still living together and they haven’t separated their households. Her two older uncles and one younger uncle haven’t separated their households either, so how could we possibly separate their households?” Sister Qiu said, expressing her incomprehension.

Every family lives with their parents and elders; there's no reason to separate the family while the parents are still alive.

I have no idea what's wrong with Er Ya.

Xie Qingyu pondered the original plot: the male and female protagonists would not meet for several months, so what happened now was probably harmless.

"Your father has found you a marriage partner," Xie Qingyu suddenly said.

Then she felt Qiu Jie, who was walking beside her, stop. Although she quickly followed Xie Qingyu again, her steps were somewhat flustered.

"Where are you from? How old are you?" Sister Qiu's voice carried a hint of panic that she herself was unaware of.

"It seems to be from the next town, he's nineteen, and his family owns a restaurant." Xie Qingyu told all the information she knew. "He's a bit weak, so he's thinking of finding a capable man in the countryside."

Xie Qingyu paused after speaking, then added, "This is what your father said."

Sister Qiu understood, and then asked, "Those who run restaurants have money, how much silver did they contribute?"

"Five taels." Xie Qingyu was surprised by Qiu Jie's keen insight, being able to focus on other things even with such seemingly good conditions.

"So tall?" This time, Sister Qiu's surprise was hard to hide.

No wonder she was shocked; her two older sisters combined didn't even amount to that many.

"So, with such good conditions, plus such a high bride price... or rather, the money for buying her body, do you think there's a problem?" Xie Qingyu asked.

"With such good conditions and so much money, there must be a lot of people who want to marry their daughters off there. Why did it have to be me? Besides, it's not like there aren't girls in their town. Why do they have to come to our town to look for someone?" Sister Qiu's words came out in a string of pearls, with a sense of aggression, but she wasn't questioning Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu naturally didn't care about her tone; she only appreciated it.

To be able to see the situation so quickly.

The information Xie Lao Er provided seemed comprehensive, but in reality, it contained nothing useful. He probably didn't even bother to inquire about the two key issues that Qiu Jie mentioned.

In normal families, before a daughter is married off, they would usually go to the groom's side to inquire about him, asking the neighbors or neighbors to see what kind of person the groom was.

Even though the problem was obvious at a glance, Xie Lao Er didn't bother to inquire about it.

Or rather, he intended to sell his daughter rather than marry her off.

"Do you know when to come for the matchmaking?" Sister Qiu's tone softened, probably realizing that her words just now might have sounded like she was getting angry at Xie Qingyu.

"tomorrow."

After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, Qiu Jie beside her remained silent for a long time.

They remained silent until they returned home.

Qiu Jie probably didn't even eat lunch properly. After finishing her meal, she quickly put the bowl in the kitchen, and then she was stopped by Granny Xie.

"Someone will be coming to take a look tomorrow, so you don't need to go up the mountain this afternoon. Take good care of yourself and get up early tomorrow." Granny Xie was just informing them; she didn't mean to say who would be coming to take a look.

Upon hearing this, Xie Ersao glanced at Xie Pozi, wanting to speak, but after being looked at by Xie Pozi, she dared not utter a word.

"Ask the second son tonight about the marriage he found," Granny Xie said to Xie Ersao.

After hearing this, Qiu Jie went out and didn't come back all afternoon.

Xie Qingyu listened to a group of children gossiping at the courtyard gate in the afternoon, but Qiu Jie did not return until dinner time.
