Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 168: 

Provoking Public Anger

Mrs. Chen frowned, "Mother just wants you to show some filial piety. If you don't want to, fine. Why do you need so many excuses? Now, Mother has fainted. Does that make you feel better?"

Murong Lingran casually replied, "Fainted? How coincidental? Big brother, second brother, third brother, quickly take Grandmother back and inform Grandfather how she fainted. If someone asks on the way, tell them the truth. In the evening, we'll personally come to apologize!"

Mrs. Liu clenched her teeth. This cunning girl, if she was taken back and the Murong family added more details, saying she fainted because she was greedy for money, wouldn't she become the laughingstock of Lihua Village again?

Most importantly, if the old man found out that she was asking the eldest son for money again, he would have a reason to punish her, considering the last slap from Murong Liang.

Thinking of Murong Liang's warning about not asking the eldest son for money, Mrs. Liu suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight.

The women watching noticed her pretense immediately and looked at her disdainfully. At her age, using such methods for money in broad daylight was shameless.

The Murong father and sons secretly grit their teeth. How could they have such a cunning elder? Truly sinister.

Mrs. Liu didn't notice the change in the others' expressions, just glared fiercely at Murong Lingran and said without a good tone, "Was what you just said about waiting for registration really true?"

Murong Lingran replied indifferently, "Of course, it's true. However, you also know, I still need to save money for my younger brothers. So, I may not be able to give you any money."

"Are you saying you'll give me worthless things?" Liu Shi was agitated.

"Worthless?" Murong Lingran was surprised, "Mother, that's not fair. On the day of the housewarming, most families brought what they considered their best. Mother, do you look down on the things most villagers sent? Do you think they are not worthy for you to use?"

Several women exploded in anger. They had also sent gifts. Was Mrs. Liu looking down on what they gave?

Mrs. Tian, the first to speak, said coldly, "Liu Aunt, if you don't appreciate what we sent, then please don't let your son give them to you. You don't deserve our 'noble' gifts."

Mrs. Xia also said coldly, "Right, since you don't like them, don't force your son to bring me the eggs and sugar I sent. Anyway, you despise them."

Mrs. Xia younger sister, Mrs. Zhou added, "Liu Aunt, if you don't like what I sent, don't use it."

Other women echoed, "I sent eggs, but if they're not valuable, please don't take them."

"My gift is sugar, but if you think it's not worth it, please don't use it."

...

Everyone spoke up, revealing what they had sent, fearing that Mrs. Liu would take their gifts and still look down on them.

Mrs. Liu’s face turned red instantly. She never expected to provoke everyone's anger.

After thinking for a long time without figuring out how to explain, she chose to be reckless, "I don't care about eggs or sugar. They're nothing special. If you don't want them, so be it. What's so great about it? Didn't you all receive a lot of gift money today? Give me all the gift money!"

"No way," Murong Zhe rejected without hesitation.
