Chapter 182 When to Propose Marriage

Gu Zhong took a few breaths and lowered his voice, "Is the third brother's family not poor? He told me yesterday that his family has a debt of fifty taels of silver!"

"When did you see that your third brother and sister always want to take advantage of others like you?"

"I don't lack food or clothing for you. If someone else has it, it belongs to them. Why are you jealous?"

"The emperor still eats meat every day, but you wonder, do you have that blessing?"

"I don't want to take a piss and look at myself like that."

Xing'er hugged Bao'er and huddled on the chair, not daring to express her anger.

Gu Zhong glanced over, and both of them quickly lowered their heads.

Gu Zhong sighed deeply, "I will earn the money to live at home. There are many rich people in Ping'an City, and money is easy to earn. I can pay off the money I owe in a year or two."

"You should stop thinking about everything at home and take good care of Bao'er. Myolie is getting older too. You can also ask around to see if there is any suitable family nearby."

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she forgot to continue crying, "Are you going to marry Xing'er here? Then we won't go back in the future?"

“I still have a house and land at home!”

Gu Zhong was silent for a while, "I can't tell now. Even if I go back, it will take a few years. Myolie will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year. If we delay for a few more years, she will become an old girl."

Xing'er became nervous when she heard this, and grabbed Bao'er's clothes hard.

Bao'er twisted around, "Why are you holding on to me!"

Gu Zhong glanced at Xing'er and shut up.

This kind of thing should not be said in front of his daughter. He just made a mistake.

After dinner, Xing'er walked past Shanzi's house, coughed lightly and walked away quickly.

Shanzi was still eating, and when he saw Xing'er's figure flashing past the door, he was scratching his head. He finished the meal in two mouthfuls and threw the bowl away, "Mom, I'm going to Uncle Gu's house to look for Sanlang."

Shanzi's mother was sitting with her back to the door. She didn't see Xing'er passing by just now. She was very happy for Shanzi to approach Gu Fei's family. "Then you go. Don't forget to thank Uncle Gu when you see him. Today Sanlang sent a smoked duck to our family."

Shanzi agreed and ran away quickly.

Shanzi walked out of the gate and ran along the courtyard wall.

After turning the corner, I saw Xing'er's figure in the distance.

He ran quickly, ran up to Myolie, grabbed her hand, with joy on his face, "Myolie, do you miss me?"

Xing'er withdrew her hand with an unhappy look on her face, "My father said today that he asked my mother to find a home for me nearby."

Shan Zi was anxious, "How about that? You want to marry me."

Xing'er pursed her lips, "Didn't you say you wanted your mother to come to my house to propose marriage?"

Shanzi grabbed Xing'er's hand again, "I, I didn't dare to tell my mother."

"My mother said a few words that day, saying that I was still young and only seventeen after the Chinese New Year. I should pay off the money I borrowed from my family in the past two years. We can talk about the marriage when we go home after the drought is over."

Xing'er's face changed drastically, "I'm sixteen after the Chinese New Year. How can I wait two years? Do you not want to marry me at all?"

Shanzi was so anxious that he could not speak coherently, "I, if I don't want to marry you, I will be a dog!"

Xing'er stamped her foot, "Then why don't you tell your mother quickly? It will be too late by the time my mother sees her!"

Shanzi gritted his teeth and said, "I said, I will tell my mother when I get back soon."

He looked at Xing'er eagerly, "Xing'er, let's go to the woods -"

Xing'er shook her hand away hard, "You know how to take advantage of me——"

Shanzi hugged her and breathed quickly in her ear, "Go, I haven't been there for several days, I, I don't think you can think of it right."
