Mrs. Qian’s face twitched, and she had to pull Xing’er back.

Shanzi looked at the two with a gloomy expression on his face, and his fists clenched.

Aunt Huang, who was sitting beside him, spat at the ground: “Bah, don’t you look at your daughter? You still want to climb that high branch, dream on!”

Xing’er was still confused until she was pulled back by her mother.

What did her mother do just now?

She said something about making the bed and folding the quilt.

A little girl like her knew what was wrong with this.

Thinking that the young man was too lazy to look up at them, Xing’er’s face flashed with shame and anger, and she shook off her mother’s hand and ran into the dark.

Mrs. Qian frowned, ignored her, and went to pack her things.

Shanzi watched Xing’er rush into the dark field, gritted his teeth, and ran over there.

Aunt Huang shouted from behind: “Shanzi, what are you doing? Don’t go to that dark field!”

Shanzi didn’t even look back and quickly rushed to a place where the firelight couldn’t reach.

Xing’er didn’t run far either, squatting on the ground and pulling the dry grass on the ground angrily.

Shanzi walked behind her and suddenly said: “What do you mean?”

Xing’er didn’t realize there was someone behind her and was startled. She stood up and saw that it was Shanzi. Her expression relaxed, then became embarrassed and angry: “What do you mean? How do I know what my mother pulled me to do?”

Shanzi stepped forward: “You don’t know?”

Xing’er felt so wronged: “How can I know? My mother pulled me and left, and I didn’t expect her to say those words!”

Shanzi breathed a sigh of relief: “I thought you also wanted to climb up the social ladder.”

Xing’er’s mind flashed the scene of seeing the young man just now.

The young man had a white face and beautiful eyes, but he exuded a cold smell all over his body.

Xing’er smiled bitterly: “Who is he? He is a young master from a rich family. Even if someone likes me, they would only take me as a maid.”

Shanzi wanted to ask: “If they like you, you can be a maid?”

Thinking about it, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and whispered: “You know how I feel about you.”

“When we settle down in the south, I will let my mother go to your house to propose marriage, okay?”

Xing’er was stunned for a moment when he suddenly said this, then her face turned red and she lowered her head.

Shanzi asked anxiously: “Okay? Give me a word!”

Xing’er lowered her head and bit her lips, and after a long while, she said “Um” in a low voice.

Shanzi became happy instantly, and suddenly stepped forward to grab Xing’er’s hand: “Don’t worry, I am the only one in my family, and my mother has saved a lot of money. I will not let you suffer in the future.”

As he was speaking, Aunt Huang’s shouting came in the night wind: “Shanzi, where have you been?!”

Shanzi pinched Xing’er’s hand: “My mother is calling me, you also go back, don’t stand in this dark place.”

Xing’er responded and shyly pulled back her hand.

Aunt Huang watched Shanzi run away with his fists clenched and then came back happily. What else did she not understand?

She held back her anger and pulled Shanzi aside: “Don’t hang out with that Xing’er, her mother is not an easy person to get along with, and Xing’er’s temperament and appearance are far worse than Xiao Fei’s.”

“When you have time, go hang out with Xiao Fei more often. That girl is good at making money and is lucky. Didn’t you see that your Second Uncle Gu’s family just made a hundred taels of silver?”

Shanzi said sullenly: “I won’t go near her.”

That day, he saw Gu Fei killing someone and had a nightmare in the middle of the night. Now he feels a little nervous when he sees Gu Fei.

Aunt Huang patted Shanzi with a look of disappointment and said in a low voice: “You useless thing. If you can marry Xiao Fei at home, you won’t have to worry about your life.”

Shanzi was annoyed: “I don’t like her if you want to marry her, marry her yourself!”

After that, he went aside to sulk.
