“Uncle, we are all family.” Dongfang Long said. Even if he and Haitang moved out, they were still family. Shi Hu looked at Dongfang Long.
“You’ll be the head of the household from now on, and you’ll be living with Tangtang. That child seems capable, so you can’t bully her. Your younger siblings used to help with chores, so when you come back, help with cooking and other things. Don’t tire her out,” Shi Hu said.
He felt both guilty and heartbroken for his daughter, Haitang, because when he was in trouble, it was Haitang who shouldered the burden of the family. Under such circumstances, one can only imagine how hard she had worked.
Dongfang Long nodded, "Uncle, I will be good to Tangtang." Shi Hu looked at Dongfang Long, wanting to say something more, but then thought that he was right and the child would dislike him.
"Go home more often in the future. Let's go... let's go back and eat something too." Shi Hu said, and went to his house to fetch well water to wash himself. The well water was warm, and he didn't feel cold.
At most, they would change their clothes immediately after the wedding to bring good luck. Shi Hu and Dongfang Long both did this. Although Haitang was worried... thinking of the winter swimmers, she didn't stop them.
Most importantly, both of them were in good physical condition. Haitang made ginseng soup for Dongfang Long, who drank it and looked at Haitang before glancing at the others. "Don't look, this is for you."
"Hmm." Dongfang Long nodded and drank it. Shi Hu and Yueyue did not drink. Yueyue had already transformed into a star, so she only needed to take some medicine to get enough nutrition.
Shi Hu's health was initially weak, but over the years he has improved and he no longer needs ginseng soup.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long drank it down in one gulp, feeling a warm sensation in his chest. However, he felt it was still a little lacking, as Haitang was serving him food.
No snow in winter is a bad thing for everyone, but this year there are more people digging in the ground, planning to plant in the spring.
Haitang's wedding is getting closer and closer. Xiaohe is sewing a wedding dress for Haitang, and Haitang is sewing a groom's clothes for Dongfanglong. Although they can't finish in time, it's not like they only start sewing on the most auspicious day, so they can still finish in time.
Xiuxiu was a little surprised by Haitang and Dongfanglong's wedding day, and even asked Shishui, "Do you think my brother really agreed to let his daughter marry into that family?"
"Do you think this is a joke?" Shi Shui asked, looking at his wife. Hearing this, Xiu Xiu, holding her several-month-old baby, couldn't help but sigh.
"That's quite possible, but I just feel... why didn't Tangtang choose Huoqiu, but instead chose Dongfanglong? That child isn't just a beastman from the Tiger Clan, he's also a slave bought from a human race." Although Dongfanglong is capable, the problem is that he's not a good match for Haitang.
"The problem is that Tangtang likes it." Looking at Xiuxiu in front of him, Shishui said. Haitang likes it, and Shihu has agreed. What right do they, as her uncles, have to object?
"Sigh... I just feel that the child was wasted." He said while looking at Shi Shui, "If it were my daughter, and she dared to choose her race, I would definitely break her legs."
Humans are not as good hunters as orcs in this era, so choosing to hunt is not an option, because they would starve to death, and if they had children, the children might starve.
Upon hearing this, Shi Shui gently stroked his wife's hair, telling her not to overthink things, as he knew something about Haitang and Dongfang Long's relationship.
Right now, it's true that they're not a good match, but the problem is... Dongfang Long is genuinely good to Haitang, and although the child is of the same race, the hunt might not necessarily be lost.
Haitang was unaware of Shishui and the others' thoughts on these matters. Instead, she was busy preparing for her wedding. As the wedding drew closer, Shihu decided to host a banquet.
Haitang said that they should keep in touch more often. He didn't invite many people, just his brothers, Shiming and Shishui. He didn't invite anyone else.
The child on the other side of the grass looked small, but he was very strong, so Shi Ming wasn't too worried.
When Shi Ming heard Shi Hu mention hosting a banquet because of his daughter's wedding, he wondered, "Did my elder brother really agree?"
“Xiaolong is a good boy.” Shi Hu said as he looked at Shi Ming.
"Is he a good boy? But... he's not a beastman. What if he can't support your daughter in the future?" Shi Ming frowned as he looked at Shi Hu.
“Then I’ll raise her. I can still raise my daughter.” Shi Hu immediately said. Upon hearing this, Shi Ming opened his mouth but didn’t say anything more.
Well, enough said. We'll see what happens next. Haitang and Dongfang Long haven't seen each other much lately. The day before she was to get married, Haitang was lying down with Xiaohe, and Xiaohe was holding Haitang's hand.
"I want to be with my sister, I don't want her to get married." Feeling a little reluctant to part with her sister, who was about to get married, Haitang gently stroked her hair upon hearing this.
"Silly child, you will get married someday too." Hearing this, Xiaohe lowered her head. Haitang continued, "But Xiaohe's health is not as good as her sister's. When she gets married... she will be about a year older than her sister."
"Sister...you're so naughty." Thinking her sister was joking with her, Xiaohe immediately said in a coquettish tone, but Haitang looked at Xiaohe and ruffled her hair.
"Sister is serious. Xiaohe's health isn't good, so she can't get married too early. Even if I get married, I'll talk to your brother-in-law and we'll consummate the marriage when I'm eighteen. Your brother-in-law has agreed to that." Haitang had told Dongfang Long.
Dongfang Long was still clueless about the concept of a concubine. It was only after Haitang explained it to him that he realized it meant giving birth to a baby beastman. However, he heard that it would be a little later, which was a bit of a pity, but since waiting was better for his health, Dongfang Long agreed.
