Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 229:

Spitting Blood

Before any remedy could be considered, a sharp pain surged in her chest. Murong Liang ruthlessly kicked her to the ground.

Not holding back at all this time, Murong Liang's kick left Madam Liu lying on the ground. Before she could be shocked by the sudden turn of events, she felt a surge of blood in her chest, and suddenly, a mouthful of fresh blood splattered on the ground.

Seeing that his mother had been kicked hard enough to spit blood, Murong Qi trembled with fear and stammered, "F-father, mother is spitting blood."

Murong Liang just sneered, showing no pity in his eyes. He turned and walked out of the door.

Witnessing Murong Liang heartlessly leaving, Madam Liu felt a sharp pain in her heart and fainted in despair.

"Mother, mother!" Murong Qi anxiously shouted, then turned to the stunned Mrs. Chen, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly, go call the doctor."

Mrs. Chen was genuinely shocked by the sudden violent action. After hearing the cries, she quickly responded, "Alright, I... I'll go right away."

Madam Liu was now her husband's and daughter's only hope. If something happened to her, Murong Zhe wouldn't help them anymore.

However, after going out, Mrs. Chen realized she didn't know where to find a doctor. The city was too far, and doctors might not be willing to come to this remote village.

The closest doctor was Murong Zhe, but he was injured, and Madam Liu had just driven him away. There was no use in asking him for help. Mrs. Chen had no choice but to seek help from their village head, Li Zhuang.

Unexpectedly, even Li Zhuang was not at home; only his wife, Mi, was there.

Hearing Liu's situation, Mi, despite her dislike for Madam Liu, couldn't ignore a fellow villager's urgent need. Since they recently bought a horse carriage, she reluctantly let her eldest son, Zhuang Qinghe, take Madam Liu to the neighboring Linhe Village to fetch a doctor.

At the same time, as Murong Zong returned home, Murong Liang hurriedly followed. Seeing them closing the courtyard gate, he quickly said, "Wait, don't close the door."

Murong Zong paused his action to close the door, noticing Murong Liang following. With a clear pleading expression, he had to let him in.

In the main hall, Murong Zong said sternly, "Grandfather, there's no need for you to act as a mediator. Our family doesn't have two thousand taels. Even if we did, it's impossible to spend all our hard-earned property on his younger brother. It's an endless pit. Even if father agrees, we, the three brothers, won't agree."

Their family didn't have the ability to help out in such a compassionate way. The troubles Murong Qi was facing were of his own making.

As for Murong Xue, if she really ended up being sold to a brothel, it would be her fate.

Moreover, where there's one problem, there might be another. If they solved this two-thousand-tael debt for him, who knows if he'll create a twenty-thousand-tael debt next time.

Murong Xuan also said, "Big brother is right. Grandfather, you should go back. Grandmother repeatedly treated Father so heartlessly, and as her relatives, we can't pretend we didn't hear it."

Murong Liang frowned, nodding, "I know Grandmother’s words were too much just now, and I know uncle is foolish. He deserves the retribution he's facing, but... but you can't let Murong Xue die without helping. After all, she's your cousin, Grandfather’s granddaughter."

Murong Zong and Murong Xuan exchanged glances, sighing, "Grandfather, you should know what kind of person Murong Xue is. She's like a wolf cub, harboring resentment against our family since our downfall. There's no need for our family to go bankrupt for someone who has resented us for so long."
