Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 210:

Rejection

Murong Xuan and Murong Kuan couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They indeed hadn't eaten a proper lunch at noon. They had only bought a few meat pies from the street and had been staying with their mother, feeling a bit hungry now.

Unable to refuse his wife's kind offer, Murong Zhe smiled and said, "You all have some; I'll buy dinner outside later. Eating too much meat at night isn't good for your health, and leaving these behind is the only option. Tomorrow, the taste won't be as good."

Murong Lingran served them each a bowl, even handing chopsticks to them. Seeing this, the three brothers did not refuse any longer.

Murong Lingran also fed her father a bit, leaving herself with the last bowl. After finishing the meal, Xiao Man'an looked satisfied and said, "I've heard your father say several times that A’Ran's cooking is now even better than mine. I didn't believe it before, but now I completely believe it."

Hearing this, Murong Lingran felt uncomfortable. Her mother's presence here was entirely due to her efforts. Frowning, she said, "Mother, if you like, I can often bring you delicious dishes that I personally cook. Since the carriage comes to the city every day, it won't be troublesome."

Xiao Man'an smiled helplessly, patting her daughter's head. How could she bear to let her daughter work so hard? Her daughter had such a good heart, and that made her happy.

"Mother just mentioned it casually; A’Ran, don't mind. The food at Xiuzhuang is not bad, and there's no need to waste time and money. As long as you take care of yourself, and our family stays safe and sound, Mother will be happy."

Murong Lingran suddenly looked serious, "Mother, endure it a bit longer at Xiuzhuang. When I save enough money, I'll redeem you."

After these busy days, the family had accumulated over a thousand taels of silver. According to the agreement with Xiuzhuang, to leave early, they needed to pay three thousand taels of silver. If they waited a few more months, they should have enough money.

The three brothers didn't object; money earned was meant to be spent.

Murong Zong added, "Yes, we'll work harder, and Mother will be able to return home soon."

Murong Zhe also knew that the family had earned a lot of money recently and agreed, "Yes, I have the same plan. Our family should reunite. We can't let you stay at Xiuzhuang alone."

Expecting Xiao Man'an to be happy, they didn't anticipate her refusal, "No, the hard-earned money you've all worked so diligently for cannot be spent all at once on Mother."

Three thousand taels of silver, even if she worked for ten lifetimes, she wouldn't be able to earn it. Spending the hard-earned money of her family on her alone was not worth it; she feared it would shorten her life.

With many children, three thousand taels of silver would create countless beautiful futures for her children and their descendants.

Murong Lingran hesitated, "Mother, don't you want to go home? Don't you want to live with us? The new house at home has long been built, and you haven't lived there yet."

Murong Zhe added, "Yes, A’Ran is only ten years old. The other three children are still young. If you return one day, how can they bear to be away from you? Don't you want to watch them grow up?"

"And A’Zong, he's already sixteen. It's time to consider settling down. Don't you want to personally choose a good daughter-in-law for him?"

Murong Zong, seeing his father suddenly mention him, opened his mouth but didn't say the plans in his heart.

Even though he was already sixteen, he currently had no intention of starting a family. As the eldest son, he would have to wait for his younger brothers to return home before making any decisions.
