“What did you say?” Mrs. Qian jumped up and rushed forward again. Fortunately, the Eldest Aunt grabbed her.
“It’s your son who is shameless and has his eyes on my Xing’er. You are the one who should keep an eye on your son. If he dares to come after my Xing’er again, I will break his legs.”
Aunt Huang sneered: “Don’t worry, I don’t like your daughter. With a mother like you, your daughter is also not a good thing!”
“She dares to flirt with a boy before they even get married. Bah, so shameless! Who dares to marry a girl like her?”
Xing’er was crying with her face covered. When she heard this, she choked and bit her lips tightly.
Mrs. Qian was furious and was about to rush forward when Shanzi suddenly yelled: “Mom, stop talking!”
He suddenly knelt in front of Mrs. Qian: “Aunt Qian, I really want to marry Xing’er, please help me and Xing’er.”
Aunt Huang was so angry that she pointed at Shanzi and trembled.
Mrs. Qian spat on Shanzi’s face: “You, go away, don’t you see what your family has? With you, can you afford to marry my Xing’er?”
“Want to marry Xing’er? Sure, bring a betrothal gift of 30 taels of silver!”
Aunt Liu muttered beside her: “You are crazy about money!”
Back in their hometown, marrying a wife only required a few taels of silver as betrothal gifts. For families with poor conditions, two taels of silver, and for families with good conditions, five taels of silver at most.
30 taels?
Hahaha.
When Aunt Huang heard this, she was no longer angry. She glanced at Shanzi and said: “Look, what did I say? Do you want to marry that girl with such a mother? Give up as soon as possible!”
Shanzi was frightened by the number of thirty taels. When his family was the richest, they only saved more than twenty taels of silver, which was earned by his father with his life. Now he not only has no silver but also owes debts.
Thirty taels, when can he save this money to marry Xing’er?
He just wants to hug her every day, he almost goes crazy.
Shanzi’s expression became gloomy, staring at Mrs. Qian, and suddenly said: “Auntie, Xing’er, you have to marry me, she and I have already–”
Aunt Huang’s face turned pale for a while. Xing’er was even more surprised to take away her hand covering her face and stared at Shanzi in a daze.
“My gosh, are you going to let me live!” Mrs. Qian screamed and collapsed on the ground.
Gu Zhong’s face flushed red, and he grabbed Shanzi’s collar, with veins on his forehead throbbing: “What did you say?”
Shanzi stiffened his neck: “Xing’er and I were in the grove–”
Before he finished speaking, Gu Zhong’s fist landed on Shanzi’s face: “I’ll beat you to death, you bastard!”
Gu Zhong’s fists rained down on Shanzi. Shanzi didn’t dodge, letting Gu Zhong beat him hard.
Aunt Huang was so anxious that she didn’t care about much. She hugged her son and blocked Gu Zhong’s fists for him, shouting: “Don’t hit him, don’t hit him, it’s too late even if you kill him.”
Xing’er looked at all this in a daze, with only two words in her mind: it’s over.
It’s over, her reputation was completely ruined.
She seemed not to know Shanzii. Although she and he kissed and hugged, they didn’t do anything else.
Of course, kissing and hugging were considered infidelity, but it made no difference whether they went further or not.
Shanzi said this because he wanted to marry her, she knew.
But if this spread, who would not point fingers at her behind her back in the future?
If a girl marries with such a reputation, her in-laws will also look down on her.
Mrs. Qian suddenly jumped up from the ground, her eyes bloodshot, grabbed Xing’er’s hair, and beat her without thinking: “Shameless little whore, why don’t you die? You did such a shameless thing still have the face to live?”
