Chapter 310: Chapter 308 Jealousy, Proposal!
Dairy products are one of the best sources of nutrition in the tribe.
Because Sally said she did not drink deer or sheep milk, Auro bought her cow milk and insisted she must drink it.
Unable to refuse, Sally carried a beast skin bag of freshly squeezed cow milk, suppressing the discomfort of her taste buds, and swallowed the fatherly love that came from the Father Beast.
The father and daughter walked down the street, drawing the looks of many tribespeople. Especially Sally, such a beautiful female was rare, with perhaps not even one per several tribes.
“How did Dad’s hand get injured?”
“It’s nothing, just an accident while slicing meat strips.”
“You should let Brother and Galian do such tasks.”
“Your brother needs to hunt and gather herbs during the day. Galian has a lot of things to deal with at her parental home. She’s usually busy there.”
“Oh, it’s okay, I’ll help Dad from now on,” Sally said with a smile.
“Good.”
Auro looked at Sally, and the more he looked, the happier he became. He never thought he’d have a daughter in his lifetime.
“You said your mother died, where are her remains? Dad will bring her back to be buried in the family cemetery.”
“Is Dad willing to acknowledge Mother’s identity?” After all, they weren’t married, and she came from the Female Cave.
“Of course, I am willing. For the female who gave birth to my daughter, I will bury her with the rites due a wife,” Auro said earnestly as he looked at Sally.
Sally was silent for a moment before replying, “She was eaten by Demon Beasts.”
It wasn’t too surprising since Auro had already considered this possibility.
“Sigh! When she suddenly left all those years ago, I looked for her for a long time. But it’s good that you have come back. Dad will take good care of you.”
“Thank you, Dad. What if I don’t have Fertility Strength?” Sally asked tentatively.
Without any hesitation, Auro replied, “Dad will take care of you. As long as Dad is alive, you will have food and drink.”
Sally smiled happily.
As they were talking, they arrived in front of a newly built house. The yard was still filled with drying meat, and a pregnant little spotted dog lay sleeping on the ground.
This house was different from the one they lived in before, which was built against the mountain, warm in winter and cool in summer and very convenient for storing dried meat.
Not to mention that this new house was much smaller and located on the outskirts of the tribe, which wasn’t very safe.
She hadn’t returned to the tribe, yet the changes in the Millet Family were so great. Especially Robby, he even married Galian Walto. If she had been there, this would have been absolutely impossible!
Galian Walto not only had low Fertility Strength but also was spiteful at heart.
On her way back, she had reviewed the things Galian Walto had done one by one, which was truly chilling.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of her, but that she feared what she might do to Robby and Auro…
Galian had cooked the meat soup, and the dining table was set up in the yard.
Seeing Sally and Auro return, Galian immediately called out, “Dad, dinner is ready. Come wash your hands and eat. And sister, if you like to eat something, tell your sister-in-law, and she’ll go make it right away.”
“No need, Dad bought me cow milk, and there are fruits, I love sweet fruits,” Sally said with a smile.
Galian’s expression visibly soured.
Fruit was expensive in the tribe, especially sweet fruit. And cow milk, though not as luxurious as deer milk, was also considered quite lavish.
The Millet Family was merely a small peddler, how could they afford such a picky female.
Robby didn’t mind at all and immediately said, “If sister likes to eat it, I’ll go up the mountain tomorrow to pick some for sister.”
“Robby, didn’t you promise the Witch Clan to hand over ten jin of medicinal herbs? Where do you find the time to go look for sweet fruits?” Galian said with a sudden laugh, then looked at Sally, “How about I go pick them with my sister?”
“No need!” Auro’s face looked somewhat displeased, “My own daughter, I’ll take care of her. If she wants to eat sweet fruits or drink cow’s milk, I can afford it. Let’s eat!”
Sally watched as Galian’s face turned uglier but said nothing.
Meat soup without salt and not properly deodorized really wasn’t easy to drink. Sally only had a sip, then fed the rest of it to the flower dog waiting in the yard for leftovers.
And she said to Auro, “Dad, I don’t eat much. I was full just from the milk earlier, so I won’t have the meat soup.”
Auro nodded, “Good, then eat a few more sweet fruits.”
Galian, seeing her feed the meat soup to the flower dog, was so angry his mouth almost twisted, “But my sister-in-law made it, doesn’t it suit my sister’s taste?”
Sally quickly apologized, “No, the meat soup my sister-in-law made is delicious. It’s really just that I have a very small appetite.”
Robby also felt that today’s meat soup wasn’t very tasty, so he said, “Later on, I’ll buy some salt. A bit of salt in the soup will make it much tastier.”
“Salt is so expensive, no way!” Galian immediately objected.
“Salt?” Sally paused, “Oh right, brother, where did you put the basket you carried back for me?”
Robby answered, “It’s in your room. The north room, there is a pot of flowers at the door.”
Upon hearing this, Galian quickly grew anxious, “But wasn’t that room promised to my brother?”
Robby said, “When your brother arrives, he can stay with me.”
Sally looked at Auro.
Auro’s face was nearly as dark as the bottom of a pot, “Yanyan, you must be tired after such a long journey, go rest in the north room.”
Sally obediently responded, “Yes, Dad.”
After Sally entered the room, Auro called Robby and Galian back inside the house.
“Galian, do you dislike Yanyan?” Auro directly asked.
Galian ‘thud’ fell to his knees, “No, no, my sister is so beautiful, my daughter-in-law really likes her.”
“It’s best that way. I trust Robby completely, he will definitely treat my sister well. As for you, remember how you entered this family. And remember, if Yanyan says one word against having you as a sister-in-law, I’ll throw you out immediately!”
Galian’s face went deathly pale in an instant, kneeling and trembling with fear, she said, “I understand.”
“Uncle Auro—” someone called from outside the door.
Then came the bark of the flower dog, “Woof, woof, woof—woof, woof, woof—”
Sally recognized the voice immediately; it was Lin Lang!
She had asked Auro before, Lin Lang had already verbally agreed to a match with Ashley. Although they had not yet married, it was only a matter of time.
“It’s Lin Lang.” Auro came out of the house and personally opened the yard door for him, “Why so polite today, even calling me ‘uncle’.”
When he saw Lin Lang carrying a living stag by hand, he was somewhat taken aback, “What is this?”
“A marriage proposal. Uncle Auro, I have taken a liking to your daughter, let me marry her. Name any amount of Crystal Coins, as you wish.”
Galian and Robby came out of the house a step late.
Especially Galian, who couldn’t help but light up upon seeing Lin Lang. But upon hearing his words, she looked sideways at the north room where Sally was, her face unable to hide her jealousy.
Auro thought he had heard wrong, “Lin Lang, what did you say?”
“Uncle Auro, your daughter is beautiful, and she has caught my eye.” Lin Lang smoothly tied the two stags into the slaughter shack.
“But…aren’t you already betrothed to the granddaughter of the Witch Clan?” Lin Lang was the strongest male in the Rat Tribe, and to have such a son-in-law would of course be a dream come true.
