Ms. Chu steeled herself and directly said to Luo Wu, "Don't think that just because you're the only son of your father and me that we would marry you off early to avoid you becoming a bachelor. I'm telling you, Luo Wu, it's not going to happen! It's already a stroke of luck that we survived the famine as we made our escape. As for grandsons, whether we have them or not, we can deal with it."
So don't try to threaten her with the prospect of you being a lifelong bachelor; she won't fall for that.
Upon hearing this, Luo Wu's eyes reddened, and with a choked-up voice, he asked Ms. Chu, "Mother, don't be angry. If Sister Xiu has done anything wrong, let your son apologize on her behalf. Don't be angry with her."
But Ms. Chu almost laughed in her anger and pointed at Luo Wu: "You think I'm not letting you marry Sister Xiu because I'm mad at her? Wrong, Luo Wu. The one I'm angry with is you!"
