Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 169: 

Life-Saving Money

"You!" Mrs. Liu was about to say that if they didn't give her money, she wouldn't recognize him as her son. However, she hesitated, realizing that saying this might play into their hands. She didn't know what to do for a moment and could only stare at him angrily.

"Mother, it's not my father's fault." Murong Lingran turned to the women in the crowd, sighed, and said, "Aunts, you don't know. Originally, my idea was that now that my brothers are back, they can protect Father, and then we can go find my younger brothers together."

Mrs. Xia, knowing the young master was clever and very considerate, quickly agreed, "Right, the children have been outside for so long. You have settled down, and it's indeed time to consider finding people."

Murong Lingran gratefully glanced at her and continued with a mournful expression, "But if Father and my two skilled brothers leave, and Father doesn't feel at ease leaving me and my third brother alone at home, he refuses my request."

Mrs. Xia, cooperating, frowned, "That's indeed a problem. You can't neglect your family just to find your brothers. There's still a lot at home to manage. If there's no income, they won't have money to go find them in the future."

"That's the point, but not finding them is not a solution. Big brother suggested we could spend money to ask the guards from the escort agency to find them. We were very willing to do so. For the sake of our family, even if it costs a lot of money, we're willing."

Mrs. Xia applauded, realizing the logic, "Indeed, you can hire someone. If my child were lost, and I couldn't leave, I'd be willing to spend money to have someone help me find them."

Mrs. Tian also spoke, "A child is a family's life. Any family, if they hear that they can spend money to search, would be willing to pay."

Murong Lingran nodded, "But hiring the escort agency is expensive. According to their quote, to find the three of them, we need more than a hundred taels per year. If we don't find them, we'll have to continue spending money. And they only provide information on their whereabouts; they're not responsible for rescuing. You see, should we be a bit more frugal?"

All the women immediately nodded. Indeed, who knew how many years it would take to find them? If the children were sold into complicated situations, redeeming them would likely cost a considerable amount of money. Who knew what the other party would demand?

Murong Lingran wiped away imaginary tears, looked at his predatory mother, and sighed, "So, Grandmother, even if we have a lot of money now, we can't spend it recklessly. Even if we have money, I want to use my brothers' efforts to earn money for the future."

"It's over a hundred taels, not a few copper coins. You have food, drink, and shelter now. There's no place you need money. Later, we'll prepare some things you can use and send them to you. Usually, your younger son will take good care of you, so you won't worry about food and drink. What more do you want? Why do you have to make things difficult for us, robbing the life-saving money for your three grandsons?"

The crowd began to discuss loudly again.

"That's right, why make things difficult for them!"

"Robbing money from children, truly shameless."

"At such an age, still not knowing shame."

Mrs. Liu frowned, "Who said I don't need money? I still have to give..." A’Cai needs money to get married.

"Grandmother." Murong Lingran interrupted her, "You don't still want Father to give money for Murong Cai's marriage and land purchase, right?"
