Xiuxiu told Haitang about Changning's incident the next day. "I thought the child was joking," Haitang said, dumbfounded.
“That’s no joke. When your uncle and I were around the same age, we got engaged.” Xiuxiu blushed as she spoke. “Back then, your uncle was even more direct than Changning. He risked his life to hunt a pig for me. Even though it was a small one, he carried it to my house, saying it was for my future wife.”
"..." Haitang never expected her second uncle to be so fierce. For a moment, she was a little slow to react, but she quickly realized it was normal. Girls in this world sometimes start bleeding at the age of twelve.
Later on, when a young beastman is ten years old, his beast form will grow rapidly, and many of them will get married around the age of fourteen. This era cannot be measured by the standards of your own era.
Haitang had no reason to change anything for the time being. The only thing she could change was to make things better for her sisters in the family. "Second Aunt, if Changhua starts bleeding in the future, don't rush to marry off your child."
Xiuxiu was slightly taken aback when she heard this. "Anyone under fifteen is too young. It's very harmful to their health. The chances of them dying during childbirth are almost ninety percent," Haitang said as she looked at Xiuxiu.
"Okay, I understand." Xiuxiu nodded after hearing this. Although she felt that Haitang was exaggerating, she still took some of it to heart.
After Xiuxiu left, Dongfang Long returned and heard about Changning's situation. He immediately said, "That's really good. That little fox female is pretty, but of course, she's not as beautiful as my Tangtang."
"You're such a smooth talker," Haitang said, glancing at Dongfang Long. "That's true, but... in this situation, who will Guyue choose? Guyue is so popular. On the way back, you could see many beastmen offering her things, but she didn't accept them."
Gu Yue also possessed a certain arrogance, but it wasn't just arrogance; she was also quite clever. She didn't want those things; they were for others in the tribe to see.
The naive young man likes her and impulsively gives her gifts, which she accepts one by one. After things go wrong, she will soon be in a sorry state and will be forced into marriage before she becomes famous.
Because of the discordant elements, she dared not accept it, nor did she dare to get too close to those beastmen. Haitang knew that the other party was a smart child, but because of his intelligence, she was unsure whether he would choose Changning.
The day after Haitang started harvesting sweet potatoes, Xingxing and Yueyue also came to help. These two children had grown much taller in just a few days. It was indeed true that they grew taller after transforming into beasts.
"Sister... I heard that Brother Changning has taken a liking to a female?" Xingxing asked as she sat next to Haitang, helping to clean the soybeans.
"Yes, it's a little female outside. You've all seen it, haven't you? Isn't it cute?" Haitang said, looking at Xingxing. Xingxing smiled, and the little female with silver-white hair nodded.
“Yes, you are pretty, but I think you are the prettiest, sister,” Xingxing said. “In my heart, you are very beautiful too. Many people in the village praise you for being beautiful…”
"Xingxing is getting sweeter and sweeter." Upon hearing this, Haitang was stunned for a moment before pinching the child's cheek and laughing.
"I'm telling the truth, my sister is the most beautiful." Xingxing said as Haitang pinched herself. Haitang smiled, feeling that raising the child hadn't been in vain.
"Yes, I think it's the prettiest too," Haitang said, nodding slightly, but then frowned.
“But I heard that Brother Changning probably won’t be able to win over that fox clan female. Many people like her, but she’s too proud to accept anything,” Xingxing said. “When my brother and I went to gather, many people disliked them and thought they weren’t good people.”
"Whether they are good or not, you will know for yourselves in the future. Don't just listen to what others say," Haitang said, knowing in her heart that some of the little females might dislike Guyue.
It's normal for Gu Yue to be beautiful and easily arouse jealousy in others; she didn't find it strange. Of course, other people's jealousy is their business, and they just need to understand it in their hearts.
Xingxing and Yueyue nodded. After Haitang finished drying the sweet potatoes and soybeans, Haitang stayed behind for a barbecue, and Xingxing and Yueyue didn't object.
When Shi Hu returned, Dongfang Long invited him to eat. The whole family happily gathered together. Shi Hu looked at the courtyard and said, "Not bad, it's clean and tidy, and it looks nice."
"Hmm, brother-in-law is very thoughtful." When she came in, the doorway was spotless, and there were flowers in the corner, which was very beautiful... Xiaohe was somewhat surprised by Dongfang Long's thoughtfulness. She thought that she should find a man who treated her this well in the future.
Haitang smiled and said, "Xiaolong likes to mess around when he has nothing to do. Dad, you guys eat..." Haitang handed out meat to the group, and Xiaohe and the others sat down and started eating.
Today there was also roasted corn, and not only roasted corn, but also roasted sweet potatoes, and all kinds of barbecue. Under such circumstances, the children were the happiest eaters.
Dongfang Long tried every flavor once, and ate directly. He ate corn and sweet potatoes, but of course, he ate the most meat. A huge pile of bamboo skewers was on the ground, and Dongfang Long rubbed his little belly as he ate.
When everyone left, they started tidying up for Haitang. After they finished, Haitang was about to take a shower, but unexpectedly, Dongfang Long sneaked in. Haitang was startled when his hand pressed on her shoulder.
"You scared me to death." Haitang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Dongfang Long. Dongfang Long was not wearing any clothes and ran straight into Haitang's bathtub with water, which immediately filled the tub.
