Kurin:

おおっ　駐在かよい所へ来た！
oo  chuuzai   ka  yoi tokoro e kita
    resident      came at a good time

Kurin (thinking):

クッソー　美咲姫めわしに恥をかかせおって！

awful is  awful is  me    <o> put aside-then alone     get married

This is awful! How could you get married and leave your poor old father all 
alone!?

[This is a guess from the context. I don't really understand how hitori-de fits into
the sentence.]

gusun gusun
