Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 231:

Don't Act Impulsively

"Your family... didn't you meet many wealthy people through selling vegetables? Can't you ask them..."

"Grandfather means borrowing from them, right?"

"Yes, yes, but don't worry. I won't let you borrow. I'll make your little uncle's family do it. You can just play a minor role. Even if they all become slaves, it's better than losing their lives or being sold to a brothel." Murong Liang said.

Murong Lingran carefully observed her grandfather's expression, realizing that he seemed much older now compared to the day he returned to the capital. Poor parents' hearts.

Selling oneself into slavery required their entire family to be worth a considerable sum of money.

"Grandfather, let's talk about it in three days. After all, it's not time yet. Just wait and see. In any case, you can negotiate with the people from the gambling den then, buy some time. Solutions are devised by people; there's always a way to solve problems."

As for whether the outcome would be good or bad, that wasn't something she could decide.

After hesitating for a moment, Murong Liang sighed and nodded. For now, they had no other choice.

Murong Lingran looked up at the sky. "Grandfather, it's getting late. How about having dinner here?"

Murong Liang noticed it was already dark and shook his head. "No, I'll go back now."

How could he have an appetite now?

"Alright, Grandfather, take care."

Once they left the courtyard, Murong Lingran's expression suddenly turned cold.

As soon as she turned around, she saw her father and brothers looking at her with disbelief. She smiled helplessly. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Lingran? You wouldn't really try to help Grandfather connect with people to borrow money, would you? If they can't repay, we'll be the ones handling the aftermath for them." Murong Zong expressed concern.

"Yes, Lingran, please don't act impulsively. It's not worth it for someone like our little uncle." Murong Xuan added.

Murong Kuan chimed in, "Lingran, Third Brother knows that girls are kind-hearted, and you are very gentle. However, some people really aren't worth your efforts."

Murong Lingran looked at them speechlessly. "Do you all think I'm so foolish? How long have we known those influential families? How could they lend us such a large sum of money?!"

Murong Zong frowned. "Then what were you..."

Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow. "Considering the effort he put into disciplining Grandmother recently, I just did it to ease his mind. Otherwise, Grandfather would keep begging us, affecting our lives. Let's talk about it when the time comes. I'm not preparing money for them now."

Murong Zhe nodded. "Lingran is right. You're still young; don't think too much. We've already separated from them. Let them solve their problems themselves. There are plenty of unfortunate people in the world. It's difficult enough for us to live a good life; we can't worry about others."

The siblings looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. "Yes, Father."

After the family finished dinner, Murong Zhe looked up at the round moon in the sky, feeling a sense of melancholy.

Madam Liu's words today indeed dealt a considerable blow to him, leaving his heart deeply wounded.
