Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 245:

Compensation

Xiang Zimo nodded, then looked at Murong Qi, "You pick one."

Murong Qi looked at his elder brother with a mournful face. Murong Zhe glanced at the surrounding onlookers and calmly said, "Today, we've made everyone laugh. It's getting late, and the cart for transporting vegetables is about to arrive. Let's all get back to work."

Everyone finally snapped back to reality and dispersed obediently.

Murong Qi looked at Mrs. Chen helplessly. Mrs. Chen grit her teeth, "We still have money. I know where the silver is at home. Come with us, and you can take it."

She had thought that today was truly insurmountable. Compared to her daughter being sold to a brothel and her husband being crippled by poison, ten taels of silver was nothing. She was ready to pay that much to get through the day.

Although it seemed like Murong Zhe and that young master knew each other, and maybe they could plead for leniency due to their blood relationship, considering her husband's recent deceitful actions, it was certain that they harbored deep hatred and would never help them.

After saying that, she pulled her daughter to her feet and looked at Mr. Money Manager, "Come with me."

Mr. Money Manager glanced at his own young master. Seeing him nod, he followed.

Knowing that staying here wouldn't bring any benefits, Murong Qi endured the pain in his foot and limped along behind Mrs. Chen.

Murong Zhe's heart grew even colder. Their family could still come up with ten taels of silver, so why had they repeatedly pressured him to buy them land?

Xiang Zishu was still young, but born into a merchant family, apart from necessary studies, he spent most of his time learning how to do business. His mind was sharp, and he already understood many things. He probably knew what had happened.

When everyone had left the main gate, a worried expression appeared on Xiang Zishu's face, "Sister Murong, are you alright?"

Murong Lingran shook her head, smiling, "Don't worry, Sister has a strong heart." After speaking, she invited them into the house.

After they had been in the house for a short while, Mr. Money Manager arrived at the door with ten taels of silver, respectfully handing it over to Xiang Zimo.

Without hesitation, Xiang Zimo handed the silver over to Murong Zhe.

Murong Zhe looked confused, "Young Master Xiang, what do you mean?"

"Miss Murong saved Zishu's life last time. With such a great favor, how could I take money from your family? Although I heard that you've already split up, you are his elder brother. Despite the recent terrible things he has done, he was able to get money from your family. So, by taking the money back, consider it as compensation."

Murong Lingran stepped forward to receive the silver and agreed.

After some consideration, Murong Zhe thought it made sense, "Thank you, Young Master Xiang."

Xiang Zimo knew that after what happened in the morning, they probably weren't in the mood to entertain guests. Not wanting to delay any longer, he presented the gift they brought, "Miss Murong's life-saving favor to Zishu was special last time, and I couldn't properly express my gratitude. This is a small token of appreciation. I hope Miss Murong can accept it."

Looking at the delicate box, Murong Lingran couldn't help but touch her head in embarrassment. Rich families really paid attention to these things. "Young Master Xiang, it's really not necessary. Last time, the boar you gave me was sold, and I made quite a bit of silver. There's no need for you to come specifically to thank me."

Murong Zhe also said, "That's right, Young Master Xiang. You're too kind. Today, you helped us expose Murong Qi's scheme. It's already a great help to us. Please take back this token of appreciation."
