Lin Xia was unaware that Hu Shen had asked Hu Ming for help.
She stood up in surprise, "They changed Shiraishi so quickly? That's incredibly fast!"
Hu Ming, who was outside, continued:
"That gray wolf orc said that if you go back, he can wait for you at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."
Su Guodong, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a throbbing in his temple.
It's that guy again!
Why does it keep haunting me?
Lin Xia pondered for a moment, about to answer, when Su Guodong pulled her down to sit, his face dark as he loudly proclaimed:
“No, no, tell him to go back immediately. What are the Gray Wolf Tribe doing in the Beast Mountain? Tell him to leave now and that we’re not going back.”
"He said he could wait a few more days, the snow season is coming soon, and it's not safe for A-Xia on the road..."
"Don't trouble him. We'll stay in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain during the snow season and won't go back. Tell him to leave quickly!"
Su Guodong spoke excitedly, even making a shooing motion with his hands.
Upon hearing this, Hu Ming responded and left.
The cave fell silent.
Su Guodong suddenly felt that the silence was a little too much.
He turned his head and saw several pairs of eyes staring at him.
Lin Xia stood with her hands on her hips, a mischievous expression on her face, and said nothing.
A big question mark was written on Xiao Fu's innocent and childlike face:
"Father, didn't you just say we should go back right away?"
Su Guodong's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural. He wiped his hands on his trouser legs and sat down with a stern face.
“I’ve changed my mind again. Your mother just arrived here, and the children are still young. They can’t withstand the bumpy ride. Let’s make do with staying at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain for a while until the snow season is over.”
Su Tang's eyes were smiling, and she had a "something's up" expression.
In all these years, she had never seen her father so red-faced and angry with anyone.
"Ahem... Daughter, I've thought about it. You two have just gotten together, and I need to thoroughly observe Hu Shen's character. Staying here will make it easier for me to do so."
Sensing Su Tang's gaze, Su Guodong coughed twice, covering his mouth to hide his embarrassment.
After saying that, he added:
"Don't overthink it, it's just because of these reasons, there's no other reason."
Su Tang didn't believe it.
However, the whole family are smart people, so how could they not guess Su Guodong's thoughts?
They just didn't call him out on it.
Xiao Fu, simple-minded and outspoken, couldn't hide her questions and asked with a puzzled look:
"Father, but didn't you just say that the fields and chicken coop need to be looked after? If we don't go back, what will we do during the snow season?"
Su Guodong was speechless for a moment, then turned around and glared angrily at Xiao Fu.
That person has no sense of propriety!
“Those fathers have already made arrangements; the orcs will take care of them.”
During the snowy season, there is no sowing, and there are basically no crops in the fields. His few apprentices are enough to take care of the crops.
Lin Xia's workshop also produces quartz and wolf-themed products.
As for the chicken coop and bamboo rats, there are also female bamboo bears that can take care of them.
Since it's snowy season and they can't go out to work, Su Shiwei has nothing to do.
Before Su Guodong came over, he had made all the necessary preparations. He was just deliberately making things difficult for Hu Shen to test his attitude.
Who knew that the gray wolf orcs would break their defenses so easily?
He was extremely depressed.
Xiao Fu tilted her head, wanting to ask more, but Su Jianyuan stuffed a fruit into her hand.
"Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking."
The old man is getting on in years; we should still save him some face.
Otherwise, they'll be the ones who suffer later.
Upon hearing that Lin Xia and her husband were staying, Hu Shen's eyes lit up with joy.
They stayed, so Ah Tang wouldn't be going back for the time being.
Outside the cave.
The gray wolf orc leader looked somewhat regretful when he learned that Lin Xia was not leaving for the time being.
However, he quickly focused his energy on escorting Baishi back to the tribe.
Several gray wolf orcs quickly descended the mountain.
Halfway there.
"My stomach hurts a little," a male said, bending over and clutching his stomach.
The group glanced back at him; the male's face was covered in grime, as if it had never been cleaned.
They didn't stand next to him.
Upon hearing this, the leading gray wolf orc simply retreated and waved his hand.
"Hurry up and go, don't delay. Once you're done, catch up quickly, we won't wait for you."
Males aren't that fussy; if they fall behind, they'll catch up on their own.
They won't slow down the whole team because of one male.
"Yes, yes, I know, I'll catch up right away."
The male bowed and scraped as he spoke, then turned and disappeared into the bushes.
The gray wolf orc did not linger and went straight down the mountain.
It was a minor incident that went unnoticed by anyone.
...
Su Guodong felt somewhat embarrassed.
The cave fell silent for a moment, and he felt a little awkward.
I wanted to bring up a topic, but who knew that someone who was used to finding fault with Hu Shen would start by saying:
"Hu Shen, you're not going to let my daughter live in this freezing cave during the snow season, are you? I bet it'll snow in the courtyard of this cave then..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Guodong realized what he had said.
Lin Xia glared at him and pinched the soft flesh on her waist hard.
What a waste of a mouth!
He's scared away such a good son-in-law!
Su Tang wanted to say that she was fine and didn't think she was that delicate. She would make some hot water bottles for the two elders, but it would be a bit of a hardship for them, as it would be their first time spending the winter in a cave.
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Shen said:
"I don't need to stay in a cave during the snow season; I've already prepared accommodations."
