Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

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 your third brother and sister always thinking about taking advantage of others like you?”

“I don’t need you to eat or clothe you. What you have belongs to others. Why are you jealous?”

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

　　"I don't want to urinate and show 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 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."

“Don’t worry about what you have at home. Take care of Bao’er. Xing’er 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 why don't we go back?"

 “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 after hearing this, and grabbed Bao'er's clothes hard.

 Baoer twisted around, "Why are you holding me?"

Gu Zhong glanced at Xing'er and shut up.

This kind of thing should not be said in front of his daughter in the first place. He also made a mistake just now.

After dinner, Xing'er passed by 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 three mouthfuls and threw the bowl away, "Mom, I'm going to Uncle Gu's house to look for Saburo."

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.

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

He ran up to Xing'er, grabbed her hand, and said with joy on his face, "Xing'er, have you missed 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."

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

Xing'er pursed her lips, "Didn't you say that your mother would 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. After the drought is over, we can go home and talk about the marriage.”

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 too anxious to speak incoherently, "I, if I don't want to marry you, I'll 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."
