Old Lady Gu stood at the door with her face purple: Shameful, shameful!

The eldest aunt hurried forward to pull Mrs. Qian away and shouted: “Alright, stop hitting her, can you beat her to death?”

Gu Zhang saw that Gu Zhong’s fist was about to land on Aunt Huang, which was not right. He stepped forward to hold Gu Zhong: “Brother, just vent your anger, but if you continue to hit people, someone will die.”

“Let’s think about how to solve this problem.”

Gu Zhong let go of his hand and stood there panting. He was tired of hitting and had no strength left.

Aunt Huang hugged Shanzi and cried.

The yard was full of people at this time, from the old to the young, after all, the melon was too big.

Gu Fei sighed. If Xing’er’s matter were in modern times, it would not be a big deal at all.

But in this era, women’s lives were much harsher than men’s.

This incident did not affect Shanzi, but Xing’er’s reputation would be completely ruined.

The best outcome was that the two get married immediately, and after a few years, everyone will forget about it, and it won’t matter.

Auntie Liu advised: “Gu Laoer is right. What’s the use of beating? We still have to think about how to solve this problem. Fortunately, we are all from the same village, and we won’t say anything outside.”

Mrs. Qian rushed over and grabbed Aunt Huang: “Tell me, what are you going to do about this?”

Aunt Huang looked hopeless. No matter how dissatisfied she was with Xing’er, she had to marry her at this time.

She whispered: “Tomorrow I will find a matchmaker to propose marriage to your family.”

“Get it done early, so as not to–”

Before she finished speaking, everyone understood what she meant.

This was because she was afraid of having a baby in her belly, and getting married quickly can hide the shame.

Xing’er wanted to explain, but as a girl, she really couldn’t say it, and this matter was not clear. She stared at Shanzi with eyes full of hatred.

Shanzi also looked at Xing’er, he understood the hatred in Xing’er’s eyes, but he didn’t care, he was doing this for their own good.

Look, can’t they get married now?

Mrs. Qian spat bitterly: “It’s easy to say. How much do you plan to give as a betrothal gift?”

“Without 30 taels, don’t even think about marrying Xing’er.”

Aunt Huang glanced at Qian indifferently: “I am willing to pay a betrothal gift of 5 taels of silver. This amount is not considered unfair to your daughter no matter how much it is. I don’t have more. Everyone knows that I still owe money to Young Master Su.”

“If you don’t agree, then I can’t do anything.”

Xing’er was like this. Who else can she marry if not Shanzi?

She was not the one who was anxious now!

Aunt Liu tried to smooth things over: “I think 5 taels of silver is not a small amount.”

Mrs. Qian shouted: “No, it’s 30 taels of silver, not a single tael less.”

Aunt Huang said calmly: “My son did something wrong, and we are willing to marry your daughter, but it’s not all my son’s fault. It takes two to tango. It’s not that Shanzi forced your daughter.”

“Even if you kill me now, I can’t come up with so much silver. No family would give 30 taels of betrothal gifts to marry a daughter-in-law. Everyone has seen it. It’s not that my family is insincere, but that her family is trying to make things difficult for us.”

If it weren’t for the fact that almost everyone here was from the Gu Family, Aunt Huang would have something to say:

Do you think your daughter is inlaid with gold?

Bah, she is just a thing easily played by my son!

Shanzi also understood what his mother meant at this time, and was obediently pulled up by his mother.

Anyway, Xing’er had no choice but to marry him, so he wasn’t afraid.

Xing’er stared at Shanzi and gritted her teeth, saying: “I won’t marry him!”
