Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 173:

Sowing Discord

She touched the tea Third Brother held, saying, "This tea is top-quality Taiping Monkey King, at least five taels of silver for a catty."

After expressing hesitation, she asked, "Does Grandma like us bringing food? But today she said the eggs and sugar from the villagers aren't worthy of you. We have no choice; most families in the village send those, and if we brought them to you, wouldn't it offend everyone?"

"We just arrived in Lihua Village, and we'll need their help. We don't want to offend them, so we can only bring these to you. Does Grandma think even silk and tea aren't good enough for you?"

If only the silk had vibrant colors, their whole family wouldn't find it useless. As for the tea, she knew Grandpa had been suppressing Grandma lately, and she didn't mind being kind to him for his future efforts.

Mrs. Liu sighed inwardly; the audacious girl dared to complain!

Murong Liang fiercely glared at Mrs. Liu, "When did you say such things?"

Suddenly realizing, he shouted, "At noon, you said you wanted to take Mrs. Chen and her daughter up the mountain. I thought you were being diligent, but turns out you went to the eldest’s house again, didn't you!"

Mrs. Liu shrank, "I'm his mother. He received so many gifts; what's wrong with giving me a few?"

Murong Liang slammed the table, "He did receive many gifts today. As a mother, it's fine to ask for one or two items, but repeatedly defying me, I... I'll beat you!"

Grabbing a chicken feather duster nearby, he started swatting her.

"Ouch, old man, stop it, it hurts," Liu pleaded.

After Murong Liang gave Grandma a few solid hits, Murong Zong calmly handed the silk to Third Brother, then intervened, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Grandma didn't say much; she just told us not to give her cheap things like eggs and sugar. It happened that some aunts helping us overheard and told us not to bring their gifts either. So, we only brought silk and tea."

Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow, surprised that even the elder brother would sow discord.

Murong Liang became angrier, realizing it got overheard; now the whole village might gossip about their family.

"I... I'll kick you, old woman!"

With his upper body blocked by his grandson, Murong Liang kicked at Mrs. Liu's knee.

Luckily, Murong Zong pushed her back a bit, so the kick only hit her clothes.

Regardless, Mrs. Liu was their Grandma; if the younger generation got hurt because of them, it wouldn't bode well for their reputation.

Murong Lingran, with a clever look, softened her tone, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Look at this silk; it's much prettier than regular cotton. Also, this tea is for you. I know you used to love tea, and I didn't leave any for Dad, all for you."

"It's late today; if you drink it now, you might not sleep. Tomorrow morning, let A’Qing brew you a cup; it'll be fragrant, ensuring you feel refreshed all day."

Terrified by Grandpa's anger, Murong Qing shivered but quickly responded, "Y-yes, Grandpa, don't be mad. Tomorrow morning, I'll make sure you have a cup as soon as you wake up."
