Chapter 183: Fainted with Anger

Xing'er pushed him away, "No, when will you ask your mother to go to my house to propose marriage? I, I will -" Before she could finish her words, Xing'er turned and ran away.

Shanzi stood there and looked at her back. When Xing'er turned the corner and was out of sight, he walked back listlessly.

Shanzi's mother washed the dishes and was chopping lotus seeds in the house.

Lotus seeds are abundant in the south of the Yangtze River.

After the fresh lotus seeds are picked and dried, the blue-black shell is harder than anything else.

You have to take a special splitting knife and split it on the wooden pillar.

Chopping a pound requires a few cents in wages. Shan Zi's mother has been chopping at home every day recently, and she can earn dozens of cents a day.

Shanzi's mother was concentrating on chopping, when the sound of Shanzi's urn came to her ears, "Mother——"

Shan Zi's mother turned around, "Why did you come back instead of going to see Saburo?"

Shanzi sat down depressedly, lowered his head and hugged his head, "Mom, I want to get married."

"What -" Shan Zi's mother got excited and lost her grip on her hand. The lotus seeds rolled and almost hit her hand.

Shanzi raised his head, "I want to get married to Xing'er. Mom, please find someone to go to her house to propose marriage."

Shan Zi's mother threw the knife away and said, "Why do we want to get married? How can our family have the money to get you married now?"

"You don't need a betrothal gift to get married?"

"You didn't see that my hands are full of cuts. How can you say this now!"

Lotus seeds are round and difficult to split. If you are not skilled at first, it will be easy to split them.

Shanzi straightened his neck, "Don't you still have more than ten taels of silver?"

"Then Mr. Su doesn't urge us to pay back the money now. This money is enough to hire me!"

Shanzi's mother was so angry that she closed the door behind her back and said sternly: "I'm telling you, forget about marrying anyone else. It's absolutely impossible for you to marry Xing'er!"

"Her mother is not a good person, and that girl Xing'er is not a good person either. If she was really a good person, she wouldn't be able to hook up with you!"

She softened her voice again as she spoke, "It's not that I don't want to marry you a wife. If that girl Xing'er was half as capable as Xiao Fei, I would have gritted my teeth and married you. This girl Xing'er is stupid and lazy, even Xiao Fei Not even a little finger can compare with it!”

Although Shan Zi's mother now dared not think of Gu Fei as her daughter-in-law, she unconsciously regarded Gu Fei as the criterion for choosing her daughter-in-law.

Shanzi's eyes were red, and he stared at his mother, "Don't mention anything about Xiao Fei to me, I hate her! I want to marry Xing'er, give me the money, and I'll find someone to propose marriage myself!"

Shanzi's mother looked at her son blankly. People say that after marrying a daughter-in-law, one forgets one's mother. This daughter-in-law is not married yet, and her son looks like he wants to eat her!

She was a widow, and she spent the rest of her life focusing on her son. She usually felt that she was a loving mother and a filial son, but she never imagined that her son would be so rebellious today.

Shanzi's mother was extremely angry for a moment, pointing at Shanzi, "Hello-"

She swayed twice and fell softly to the ground.

When Shanzi saw that his mother had fainted, he panicked, threw himself on his mother and shouted, "Mother, mother——"

After shaking for a while, there was no movement. Shanzi hurriedly ran out and called Aunt Liu across the street, "Aunt Liu, my mother fainted in the room. Come and have a look."

Xing'er was coming out to splash water. When she heard Shanzi's shout, she felt extremely panicked. She quickly turned around and went in. When she entered, she tripped over the threshold and almost fell.

Aunt Liu came out after hearing the sound and hurried to Shanzi's house.

When they entered, they saw Shan Zi's mother lying on the ground. Aunt Liu squatted down and pinched her hard. Shan Zi's mother exhaled a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
