Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 247:

Fainted from Anger

"I really can't be sure if I can fully recover. Just soaking the medicine every day takes half a day. I was thinking of giving up a few days ago. Now, I've made up my mind. For the family and to fulfill my dream of becoming a divine healer, I must persevere."

Murong Lingran looked at her father's spirited appearance and smiled, "Dad, you mustn't give up. Continue reading the books you love, just like before in the Imperial Medical Institute. Don't neglect it. Your hands will surely recover."

The Great Changqi God once said that it would take a few more years at most for her father's hands to fully recover.

"Okay."

Seeing that it was getting late, and the carriage for transporting vegetables would arrive soon, Murong Zhe asked his children to attend to their respective tasks. He also instructed his daughter to help him place the books in his room.

He asked her to open the first page on the study desk and arrange them conveniently for him. Then, he told her the names of a few books and asked her to bring them back from the city when she went. He wanted to review them thoroughly.

Since he was exiled, it had been several years since he last read medical books. Although he had an excellent memory, not touching a book for several years meant there would be some places he'd forget.

Murong Lingran readily agreed to fetch the books for him.

Idle minds tend to wander, and excessive thinking could lead to what she heard about in the 21st century called depression. Recently, too many things had happened in their family. Her father had also suffered too many blows. Having something to do would be good for him.

When the people from the gambling den arrived, Murong Lingran's family had just finished their early meal. She came out of her father's room and returned to the kitchen to tidy up. Just as she stepped outside, she saw Ding, the owner of Shunxin Tavern, leaving Murong Zong's side.

After he boarded the carriage, she went over to inquire, "Big brother, did Ding come to you for something?"

Murong Zong replied indifferently, "Nothing much. He was just asking about Uncle’s matter. I told him the truth."

Murong Lingran guessed, "Big brother, does he not want Uncle to go back to work?"

"Yes. He said someone with such cunning methods can't stay in Shunxin Tavern. Just now, he asked Mo Kaifu to inform Grandfather, who wasn't angry at all. Instead, Grandfather said it's good to dismiss him, and from now on, he should stay in the village."

"Indeed." Murong Lingran wasn't very surprised. If she were the father, she wouldn't let him go back to the city either.

He spent several taels of silver buying a job, but after a few months, he didn't earn a single tael. Instead, he lost ten taels. Not only did he offend half the village, but he also messed up the relationship between the brothers.

Sending him out again, he might be blinded by the worldly temptations. Who knows what kind of trouble he might cause in the future? Her Grandfather wouldn't feel at ease unless he kept him under close watch.

***

Around noon, when Madam Liu woke up, Murong Liang informed her of the events involving Murong Qi and the loss of her silver.

She didn't care much about her younger son plotting against her elder son. In fact, she found it a bit regrettable that he didn't succeed.

However, after learning about her son's job loss and the loss of her silver, she was so angry that she fainted again.

When she woke up again, except for Murong Qing, who was still recovering in the room, everyone else was there.

Murong Qi, upon seeing her grandmother wake up, wanted to say something, but seeing her reproachful gaze, she swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue. Instead, she changed his words, "Grand... Mother, are you hungry? My mother has made porridge for you."
