Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 140:
Too Conspicuous
"Little master."
Mourong Lingran stepped out, curious, "Auntie, is there something wrong?"
Madam Xia wore a hesitant expression, her spirits not quite right.
Mourong Lingran raised an eyebrow, "Auntie, are you unwell? Should I ask my father to take a look at you?"
Madam Xia shook her head, glanced around, then whispered a few words in her ear.
Mourong Lingran's brows furrowed, "Since when did this start?"

Madam Xia had noticed several strangers lingering near their land over the past few days. Each day, different people would come, always eyeing their plot of land.
"About three days ago."
Madam Xia worriedly continued, "Initially, I thought it was just my imagination, but ever since they appeared, I've had nightmares for several consecutive nights. I thought it was due to fatigue, so I rested early yesterday, but today my heart has been pounding. I had a strong feeling that something bad might happen. Auntie thought it would be best to inform you."
After all, those five acres of vegetables were too outstanding. Each type of vegetable had large, lush, and full leaves. Madam Xia had been growing vegetables for decades and had never seen such rapid growth in just over half a month.
Although she knew it was due to the seeds, others were unaware. If it weren't for the fence the Mourong family had set up to prevent wild animals, people passing by might not have resisted the temptation to take large quantities of the vegetables, even though they weren't fully mature yet.
Mourong Lingran sincerely expressed her gratitude, "Auntie, thank you for letting me know. You haven't rested properly in these past few days, and you don't look well. You should go back this afternoon and rest. You can come over again tomorrow morning."
Madam Xia hesitated, "But..."
"Don't worry. It's just weeding and watering. My big brothers are back, and we have enough hands."
Madam Xia knew that Mourong Lingran had already made up her mind. As a woman, staying in the field might only cause trouble if someone came looking for it.
"Alright, then Auntie will leave first. If there's anything, just call for Auntie. Don't be polite."
"Sure, Auntie, take care."
After Madam Xia left, Mourong Zong noticed his sister's serious expression and asked with concern, "A’Ran, who is that auntie?"
Mourong Lingran realized she hadn't explained Madam Xia's identity and proceeded to do so, also sharing the information she had just received from her.
Mourong Zhe's expression turned serious upon hearing this, "A’Ran, you did the right thing. It's better to be safe than sorry. Your brothers are skilled in martial arts. Since you're planning to go to the field, let your brothers guard."
"Yes."
Mourong Zong and Mourong Xuan nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon, as Mourong Zong and his siblings were watering the vegetables, a group of over a dozen men in matching attire boldly entered the field through the wooden gate.
The leader sneered at them and arrogantly declared, "Who here has the authority? Stand up!"
