Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 264:

Soaring to New Heights

That's right, it was delight.

Seeing Lü Lezheng looking at him, Murong Zhe spoke sincerely, "Thank you, little brother, for saving me; otherwise, I would have been in danger today."

Murong Zong also said, "Yes, yes, thank you for the help, brother."

Lü Lezheng shrugged it off, "It's nothing. This snake isn't venomous; getting bitten won't cause much harm. I just didn't want the snake to be scared away by you. The snake gall is valuable, selling it to an apothecary can fetch a good sum of money. The snake meat is abundant too, enough for Le Yun and me to eat for several days."

Murong Lingran suddenly realized; no wonder his brother not only wasn't afraid but also seemed so happy.

Curious, Murong Zhe asked, "Little brother, do you understand medicinal herbs?"

“Just a bit of knowledge." Lü Lezheng took his brother's hand again and said, "Since it was a misunderstanding, you can go back. I wish you find your loved ones soon."

Murong Lingran looked at Lü Le Yun's scantily clad attire and then at the bundle of cotton clothes in the basin. Suddenly, she spoke up, "Wait a moment."

Lü Lezheng's turning steps halted.

Murong Lingran took out two silver ingots from her bag and handed them to the elder brother.

Murong Zong understood his sister's intention. Although the snake was non-venomous, he had still spared their father from harm, which was a significant favor.

Approaching, Murong Lingran placed the silver in Lü Lezheng's hand and said sincerely, "Many thanks to the elder brother for lending a helping hand. We don't have much to offer, so this is our way of expressing gratitude. We hope the elder brother won't mind."

Lü Lezheng, shocked to find ten taels of silver suddenly in his hand, widened his eyes and promptly returned it, "No, this is too much. I can't accept it."

Murong Zong, without second thoughts, stuffed it back into Lü Lezheng's arms. Lü Lezheng was about to take it out when he caught sight of a woman approaching from a distance. He had no choice but to hide it in his sleeves. "Well... thank you."

If she found out that the silver was given to him by the other party, it might lead to a scene here, adding more to the spectacle.

Soon, the woman arrived, full of hostility.

"Second brother, you're here again for this little brat. You pamper him so much, he eats mine, drinks mine, lives under my roof, and when I make him wash clothes, what's the big deal? Can he die from exhaustion? Is it worth you coming to find him every time? He's not your son, and he's an ugly little thing. Is he worth you cherishing so much?"

Seeing this group of strangers, the woman looked at them warily and asked, "Who are they?"

Lu Lezheng frowned, "Sister-in-law, I was just about to ask you, why did you let Le Yun wash clothes alone again? Don't you know that the water might seem shallow, but there are strong undercurrents? He's just a five-year-old child; falling in there would be deadly."

The woman disdainfully pursed her lips, "Deadly? Children from the village often come to wash clothes. Why haven't I seen a single one drown?"

"Dear sister-in-law, can you please talk sense? Are there any other children washing clothes as young as him? Even if they come, they're accompanied by their older siblings. Besides, today there's no sun, the river water is bitterly cold, and the clothes won't dry. Who else do you see washing clothes outside? Isn't this intentionally making it difficult for him?"

The woman, displeased, shouted, "Enough! What's wrong with letting him do some work? He used one or two pieces of our silver to buy his freedom. Doing some chores at home to compensate is no big deal!"

"That's my silver, and I'll use it as I please. Sister-in-law, Le Yun is my blood brother. If you treat him like this again, I'll take him far away, never to return. From that point on, I won't give you a single copper coin!"
