Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 176:

Harvest

Mrs. Liu wore a stern expression, "Why wouldn't you have time? Big deal, I'll help you with the work."

She had to endure some inconvenience for the sake of her grandson and the silk clothes.

Murong Liang looked at his grandson and grit his teeth, "I'll help you too. A’Cai, you should also lend a hand. With five family members, can't we take care of a few animals?"

Mrs. Chen unwillingly said, "Mother, you can help, but the heavy rain from some time ago left each household without surplus grains. Everyone is searching for food for their animals on the mountain. I'm afraid there won't be enough food when we need it."

Mrs. Liu glared at her, easily seeing through her lie. "Do you think I won't go up the mountain? The Mountain is so big. If it's not enough nearby, can't you go a bit farther?"

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips. Wouldn't that mean she had to walk a much longer distance every day?

But if she said that, her in-laws would accuse her of being lazy. She had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I'll go tomorrow then."

Well, today wasn't a complete loss. At least her in-laws were willing to help her, and the family would have two more pigs.

She still wanted that silk though...

"That's enough. Let's go and cook; we're hungry."

With those words, Mrs. Chen took her children to the kitchen.

Murong Cai, seeing his mother's bad mood, comforted her, "Mother, I will help you. Don't worry."

Mrs. Chen's face looked displeased. She frowned, "A’Cai, your grandmother always protects you in everything, but when it comes to threatening her own interests, she doesn't even consider you. Clearly, there's a shortcut to buy land for you, but she refuses to contribute for her own selfish reasons. Instead, she wants to exploit her daughter-in-law. It's really heartbreaking."

Murong Cai lowered his head, "They are elders, and there's nothing we can do."

Mrs. Chen knew it was useless to say more. Suppressing her frustration, she instructed her daughter to wash and cut vegetables and began preparing dinner.

***

Back at Murong's home, the four siblings, tired from the day's work, ate dinner and went straight to bed. The whereabouts of the three missing children was being by others, and they had finally moved into their new home. Although they lacked some daily necessities, everyone in the Murong family felt more secure. They all slept until dawn.

Originally, Murong Lingran wanted to start developing the newly acquired twenty acres of barren land immediately. However, considering the need for manpower when selling vegetables, she didn't want to waste everyone's time. She decided to postpone the land development for a day and recruit workers together.

Mrs. Xia had mentioned a few days ago that some of the vegetables in the garden could be harvested soon. It was the first time for Murong Lingran to sell vegetables, and she couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.

She still remembered her agreement with Lady Wei, so she brought various fully grown vegetables to the back door of the Ministry of Rites' mansion.

Cao, the steward, personally came out to greet her. Seeing a man with her this time, he was informed that he was her older brother. He didn't say much and warmly led them inside.

As she was delivering vegetables this time, Lady Wei received her in a courtyard near the kitchen.

Although Lady Wei usually lived a pampered life, she often never personally cooked. Seeing the vegetables Murong Lingran brought, although she had been informed by Xu Mama about the appearance of the vegetables, seeing them in person still surprised her.
