Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 172:

She Only Wants Money

Murong Xuan also exclaimed with resentment, "Exactly, giving them gifts is like giving them to a dog. At least a dog might wag its tail and beg for mercy, and it can guard the house."

Although Murong Zong didn't want to speak ill of his elders, today's events didn't warrant preserving dignity. Unwillingly, he said, "No matter how much we give them, they'll still find it insufficient. It's really better not to give them anything."

Murong Zhe also felt a bit awkward.

"Father, we know you have grievances against them. We feel the same way. Today, in front of the ladies, your mother disapproved of their gifts. If we insist on giving them, we might offend people in the village."

As for the valuable items, Murong Zhe had never thought of giving them to that side. No matter how precious the gifts, they would ultimately end up in the hands of his heartless brother, Murong Qi. It was better to save them for finding the children or buying land for Murong Lingran.

Murong Zhe added, "Father also knows it's difficult for you all. However, they are still Father's parents, who raised him. Father has an obligation and responsibility to take care of them."

"Can't we neglect them? I really don't want Uncle to keep using our money while cursing us," Murong Kuan frowned.

Murong Lingran suddenly smiled, "Who said we must give money to Uncle and Grandmother?"

Murong Zong was puzzled, "A’Ran, what do you mean?"

"Look at how happy Grandpa and Grandma are today. They definitely don't lack food now. Why not give them that?" Murong Lingran pointed to something in the distance.

The three brothers looked and thought it was indeed a good idea to send that over. After all, they had more than enough, and their family didn't need it now.

This way, it wouldn't invite gossip, wouldn't offend people in the village, and most importantly, it wouldn't end up in the hands of Uncle's family.

"But..." Murong Xuan hesitated, "Do we ignore A’Qing and Uncle's family as well?"

Murong Lingran pondered for a while, "We need to consider this carefully. If we treat A’Qing well, she will likely take it out on us. Even if she doesn't, her sister probably won't give her a good face."

Murong Zhe also agreed with his daughter's idea, "Father's time for making medicine has come. Let's not go there. Decide for yourselves; just avoid causing rumors."

"Yes, Father," the four siblings said simultaneously.

Approaching evening, Murong Lingran and the three brothers carried many things and arrived at Mrs. Liu's house.

People passing by stopped and, seeing what they were carrying, praised Murong Zhe for his generosity, filial piety, and benevolence.

Even when his parents treated him like that, he still sent them good things.

Mrs. Chen and Murong Xue, seeing what they were holding, were instantly disappointed. Their family didn't need these things.

Feeling stifled, they were sure it was Murong Lingran's idea. She deliberately sent these things, not only avoiding accusations but also earning a good reputation, and, on top of that, irritating them.

Mrs. Liu, looking at what they were holding, became angry, "You came to dismiss me with these things?"

These useless silk pieces couldn't be eaten, worn, or spent. She didn't want anything else; she only wanted money.

Murong Lingran looked surprised, "Grandma, you're disapproving of these? Are they really lacking?"

After speaking, she touched the silk dragged by her eldest and second brothers, "Just with these four pieces of silk, do you know how much money they are worth? Not less than twenty taels."
