"Hahaha! You have no idea how ugly Fox Fairy and those orcs looked."
During dinner, Yingliu vividly recounted the day's events to her family.
Thinking of how Hu Li would be humiliated, she laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.
After hearing this, the group could almost picture Fox Li's expression.
"Big sister is amazing! Now no beastmen will dare to scheme against you and Da Bao anymore." Xiao Fu looked at Su Tang with admiration.
My sister is so clever; she always finds unexpected ways to teach those orcs a lesson.
Hu Shen put food in Su Tang's bowl, without participating in the discussion, but his eyes were always on Su Tang.
That proud expression seemed to say, "Such a smart and capable female is my mate."
“But, daughter…” Su Guodong looked worried upon hearing this, “If you’ve already spread the word, what if some beastman really abandons a cub to you? Are you really going to adopt it?”
Su Guodong was usually focused on studying planting techniques and had no idea about the inner workings of beastmen's minds. He thought Su Tang really wanted to adopt the cubs.
He already has five kids, if another one comes along... his daughter will be exhausted!
"You're so stupid!" Lin Xia rolled her eyes at him, then explained, "Tangtang said that on purpose. Female cubs are so precious, who would be willing to give them to us? We don't even have enough for ourselves."
This old man is just watching over his vegetables all day long; has he lost his mind?
Su Guodong was taken aback for a moment, then realized, "That makes sense."
He almost forgot that this was an ancient continent, where female orcs were extremely precious, unlike among humans.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of his family, Su Guodong quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, daughter, the fruit tree seedlings you asked me to cultivate have made progress. The beastmen and I planted two hundred apple seedlings at the foot of the mountain. As long as we take good care of them, they will bear fruit in less than four years."
The reason he was so confident was that he had Su Tang take nutrient solution from his space, dilute it with water, and water the apple saplings.
Because of the high amount of water added, there is no visible abnormality on the outside.
However, with the addition of diluted nutrient solution, at least these seedlings can be guaranteed to grow strong.
"Right now, we only have this one type of fruit tree seedling. Once we discover new fruit trees, I will cultivate seedlings for them. You can just have Hu Shen send beastmen to the farm to get the seedlings and plant them."
Upon hearing this, Su Tang keenly grasped the information in Su Guodong's words.
"Father, Mother, are you going back to the farm?"
Su Guodong and Lin Xia exchanged a glance, as if they had planned it beforehand, and nodded.
"Tangtang, your father and I have thought it through. We've been out for so long, it's time to go back." Although Lin Xia was reluctant, she still expressed her plans.
As a mother, she naturally didn't want to leave her daughter.
But she also knew that Tangtang would eventually have her own life, and that staying in the Beast Mountain would only cause her trouble.
There's no such thing as a married daughter moving in with her whole family.
Even if Hu Shen didn't mind, she couldn't possibly swallow her pride and stay here indefinitely.
Thinking about the impending separation, Lin Xia's voice became a little hoarse. She nudged Su Guodong with her elbow, signaling him to speak.
“Yes, yes, your mother is right. We’ve been away from the farm for quite a while now. The snow season is over, and it’s time to get back to planting. If we don’t go back soon, we’ll be wasting time.”
"And your mother's textile workshop is also managed by Quartz. We can't just abandon it forever. And those orcs near the farm, it's definitely not good for us to be away for too long."
Although they taught the orcs quite a bit, they only learned the basics.
A large farm left unattended for a long time is bound to run into trouble.
The whole family fell silent as they listened to Su Guodong's rambling.
Not only the two elders, but also the three brothers Xiao Fu, Da Qing, and Ying Liu'er were reluctant to part with Su Tang.
I knew we would have to part ways, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.
Su Tang knew perfectly well that her usually quiet father had suddenly become talkative today because he didn't want her to be sad.
“Father, how about I…” Su Tang glanced at Hu Shen, but the words caught in her throat.
If only Tiger wasn't the Beast King, then she could have lured him back to the farm.
"Daughter, just stay here. Your mother and I will come to see you when we have time. Don't think about anything else. It's not like we'll never see each other again." Su Guodong saw through Su Tang's thoughts and took over the conversation.
“Yes, we’ll come and stay with you again during the snow season.” Lin Xia nodded in agreement.
"No matter what, it's always you guys coming over. It's not like I can't go back." Su Tang pouted. "Even if Hu Shen doesn't have time, I can still go back to see you. Aren't there teams going back and forth to exchange supplies?"
The crops grown on the farm and on Mount Wanshou are very different, and in the future, in addition to white stones and salty sand, there will definitely be other trades.
Thinking of this, Su Tang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
If only... if only there were a railway between Beast Mountain and the farm.
This makes it much easier for orcs to exchange resources.
The thought only flashed through my mind.
“I have time.” Hu Shen said without thinking. How could he let Ah Tang go to such a far place alone?
Seeing Hu Shen's nervous appearance, the two elders felt their last bit of worry disappear.
There is probably no one in this world who can take better care of their daughter than Hu Shen, so what else could they worry about?
Su Tang smiled upon hearing this, grasped Hu Shen's large hand, and looked at the two elders:
"So when do you plan to go back?"
"In the next few days, I'll say." Su Guodong glanced at Lin Xia, and seeing that she didn't speak, he turned back and said.
Having been henpecked his whole life, this time it's his turn to "take charge."
Seeing that the decision had been made, Su Tang stopped saying anything that would make things difficult for the two elders and looked at the other people at the table.
"What about Brother and Xiao Fu? Are they going back with you too?"
Xiao Fu, whose name was called, immediately put down her chopsticks, looked up at Lin Xia with a pleading expression, and said, "Mom, I want to stay. I don't want to be separated from my sister..."
The boy who used to be so gloomy and self-conscious hated his older sister is now so attached to her.
Lin Xia, who is usually very supportive of her youngest child, disagreed this time and stuffed a large chicken leg into his bowl.
"What are you doing here? Are you going to cause trouble for your older sister? She already has to raise Da Bao and the other three kids. Do you expect her to raise you as well?"
She was happy to see that the siblings had a good relationship, but she couldn't let her daughter raise her child instead.
What has she become?
Xiao Fu felt a little wronged, but then she thought that if she stayed, it would only cause her older sister more worry, so she stopped insisting.
He secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to become stronger and become a powerful orc who could protect his older sister in the future!
"I plan to stay here for the time being."
Everyone immediately looked at Su Shiwei, who was speaking.
