Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 183: I’m so angry

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 around and ran away.

Shanzi stood there and looked at her back. He waited until Xing'er turned the corner and was out of sight, then walked back listlessly.

Shanzi’s mother has washed the dishes and is chopping lotus seeds in the house.

This side of the Yangtze River is rich in lotus seeds.

After picking fresh lotus seeds and drying them, the blue-black shell is harder than anything else.

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

　　A few cents are paid for chopping a pound. 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—”

Shanzi’s mother turned around and said, “Why did you come back if you weren’t going to play with 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. The lotus seeds rolled and almost hit her hand.

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

Shanzi’s mother threw the knife away and said, “Why are you getting married? How can our family have the money to get you married now?”

 “You don’t need a betrothal gift when you get married?”

“You haven’t seen 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 won’t press 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 Xing’er is not a good girl either. If she were really good, 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 Shanzi'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 to me about Xiaofei, 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, you forget your mother. This daughter-in-law is not even 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 her family 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 and pointed at Shanzi, “Hello, 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 to the other side, "Aunt Liu, my mother fainted in the house. Come and have a look."

Xing'er was coming out to splash water when she heard Shanzi's shout. She panicked and 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.
