Chapter 570 Grandpa is Here
Zhu Yuanyuan wanted to know why her mother was unhappy, but she didn't dare go out to ask, for fear of angering her. She could only find some easy work to do so that time would pass faster.

Zhu Xiaofen, who had taken some time off to visit her grandchildren, exploded as soon as she entered the door, "I told you to have a good rest, what are you doing now?"

"I just want to make a few pairs of sandals," Zhu Yuanyuan said with an innocent look, "Straw sandals are easy to break, and animal skin boots are not suitable for wearing in hot weather."

Zhu Xiaofen snorted, "They are all thick-skinned, so they won't wear any."

"No, I'm not thick-skinned enough," Zhu Yuanyuan said firmly, "I don't want to go barefoot."

Unable to convince her daughter, Zhu Xiaofen had no choice but to ask, "What do the sandals you are talking about look like? Describe them in detail and I'll make them."

Zhu Yuanyuan hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, no, I'll do it myself. Mother is so busy, I won't bother you with such a small thing."

"What's so great about this?" Zhu Xiaofen reached out to grab the soles. "Why use wood as the soles? They're so hard and uncomfortable to wear. It's easy to fall on rainy days. It's better to use animal skins."

"No, it's too hot," Zhu Yuanyuan still refused, "The wooden soles are just a little hard, adding two layers of soft animal skin as cushions will be much better."

Zhu Xiaofen, "How do we add the animal skin? Sew it on? That's not easy either."

"I found a sticky, white liquid in the woods before. After using it and letting it sit for ten minutes, it can stick together a lot of things," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a chuckle, "I'll show it to my mother later."

"There is such a good thing?" Zhu Xiaofen was impatient and urged, "Don't wait, take it out now, I will try to see if it works."

Zhu Yuanyuan frowned, "Mother, you actually doubted what I said, don't you believe me?"

"That's right, I won't let you behave unruly on a daily basis," Zhu Xiaofen said without hesitation.

Complaints from one’s own mother were the most deadly. Zhu Yuanyuan, who had received 10,000 points of critical hit, pouted and went to the corner of the utility room to dig out a dirty big bamboo tube, “Look, it’s all in here, don’t…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xiaofen had already opened the bamboo tube and poked it with his finger, "Let me see."

Zhu Yuanyuan held her forehead with her hand, "Mother, can you please listen to what I have to say?"

"Go ahead and talk. I'm not stopping you from talking." Zhu Xiaofen rubbed her index finger and thumb gently. "Why isn't it sticky?"

Zhu Yuanyuan was both angry and amused. "If you don't wash your fingers and hands, they will stick together and you won't be able to separate them. It will be inconvenient for you to work in the future."

"What?" Zhu Xiaofen was frightened and ran to the kitchen to fetch water to wash her hands. She used soapberry to wash her hands, fearing that her fingers would not be washed thoroughly and would get sticky. She would then have nothing to cry about.

After washing my hands, I came back looking embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

"Mother," Zhu Yuanyuan scolded unceremoniously, "You often go to the mountains. Are you so reckless to reach out and touch things you don't know?"

Zhu Xiaofen hurriedly shook his head, "No, I'm almost sixty years old, I'm not a child who knows nothing, I just made a mistake because I was distracted."

"Did you lose focus?" Zhu Yuanyuan took the opportunity to ask, "Did something happen at home?"

"No, nothing could happen at home," Zhu Xiaofen continued to shake her head, "Just have a good rest and don't let your imagination run wild."

"Mother, do you think I'm stupid?" Zhu Yuanyuan sighed. "You didn't look very good when I came this morning."

Zhu Xiaofen subconsciously touched her face and denied it stubbornly, "You must have seen it wrong." "Then I'll go out and ask someone," Zhu Yuanyuan pretended to go out.

"Stop," Zhu Xiaofen pulled the man back and said with a sullen face, "It's not a good thing. If you want to know, I'll tell you."

Zhu Yuanyuan stopped and looked back, "Hey, I'm just concerned about Auntie. It would be so uncomfortable to hide something bad."

"I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing," Zhu Xiaofen sighed, "your grandpa is here."

"Grandpa is here to see mom? He's here alone?" Zhu Yuanyuan went straight to the point.

"No," Zhu Xiaofen's eyes flashed with anger, "He came with a female lion beastman and wanted to stay in the river valley tribe."

"Just live here, as long as you are not a bad guy, the tribe will be willing to accept you," Zhu Yuanyuan thought it was a good thing, "You can see grandpa more often in the future."

Let's wait for a while. What did my mother say just now? My grandfather came with a female lion beastman. That female must not be my stepmother, otherwise my mother would not be so stingy as to call her "stepmother".

So grandpa eloped with someone?
Thinking of his cheap cousin Zhu Quanquan who also eloped with someone, and then thinking of Shi Dafen and his group who still have not paid off their debts, his face gradually became solemn.

No, elopement is hereditary!
"Don't think too much. Your grandpa didn't elope," Zhu Xiaofen explained hurriedly. "He broke up peacefully with his previous partner and was ready to find a new partner. He also felt that the female lions were all equally rude, so he wanted to find another one in another tribe. That man followed behind on his own."

Zhu Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard this. "How old is grandpa? He must be over 90, right?"

An orc of this age has actually broken up with his partner and is preparing to look for his next love, and he even travels thousands of miles to change tribes to find one. It's really amazing.

"Ninety-three or ninety-five? I can't remember," Zhu Xiaofen frowned, "It's just a lot of trouble."

For orcs with relatively low strength, nearly a hundred years old is not a young age. Their physical health has declined significantly, and they rarely participate in daily hunting, let alone venture to distant strange tribes.

Zhu Yuanyuan thinks there is a saying that fits Grandpa Zhu very well: "Life is all about struggle."

Zhu Xiaofen didn't understand, "He can't even live a peaceful life, what is he looking for?"

"Maybe grandpa doesn't like stability," Zhu Yuanyuan guessed irresponsibly.

Although ordinary days are comfortable, for some people, something is missing. They rack their brains to make trouble and are willing to risk their lives for it.

"Is there anyone who doesn't like to live a stable life?" Zhu Xiaofen was so shocked that he was almost speechless.

"Oh, that's not important," Zhu Yuanyuan waved her hand, "Does grandpa live in the outer city? Should I go and see him?"

It seems impolite not to show up when the elders come.

"It's okay. He has legs. He will come if he wants to see you." Zhu Xiaofen got even angrier when she mentioned this. She couldn't help but complain. "It's only been a few days since you gave birth to your cubs, and he didn't even show any appreciation. He doesn't act like an elder at all."

Zhu Yuanyuan advised in a gentle voice, "Mother, having a baby is a matter between me and Brother Shi, the elders don't need to express anything."

In the orc world, there isn't even the concept of confinement after childbirth, let alone taking the opportunity to get something from the elders. Could it be that my mother was led astray by her?

Zhu Xiaofen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly calmed down, "You're right, why would I have such a thought? Could it be that I can't stand your grandfather's deliberate nitpicking?"

"Oh~ probably," Zhu Yuanyuan curved her big eyes and smiled brightly, "Mother, please go find my master later. If the examination shows that I am healthy, I can be freed from the confinement period."
