Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 282:

Gold Chain

Mourong Lingran glanced at the villagers' astonished expressions and felt quite satisfied. Since their arrival in Lihua Village, their family had been making waves, also offending some people. Seizing the opportunity today, she decided to give them a good lesson. If anyone dared to have ill intentions towards their family, they needed to carefully weigh their own capabilities.

Feng Jifang was shocked to hear this. Indeed, they had heard about someone attempting to seize their land before. However, for some unknown reason, it had suddenly stopped, and since then, no one had caused trouble for their family. On the day of the greenhouse incident, they even received valuable gifts from some distinguished individuals.

The more Feng Jifang thought about it, the more frightened he became. How could he have overlooked such an important point?

If he had known about the powerful backers behind her family, he would never have dared to act against them.

“Mother, agree to her demands, or she'll surely make her powerful backers have me killed in prison.”

Xiao Gao also realized this, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead. She hastily said, "Alright, alright, I... I'll go back and gather the silver. Just wait for me."

While Xiao Gao went to get the silver, Mourong Lingran's gaze shifted to the Zuo brothers.

Fatty Zuo Daxing happened to be face to face with Mourong Lingran. Seeing her eyes, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. "Miss, spare us, we really didn't know this was your home. If we had known, even if we had ten times the courage, we wouldn't dare to come here."

Mourong Lingran raised an eyebrow. "Each of you still owes us two taels of silver."

Zuo Daxing gritted his teeth. "I have a gold chain around my neck. It's a bit thin, but it's worth six taels of silver."

Mourong Zong stepped forward, reaching out and indeed found a gold chain. After weighing it, it was indeed worth six taels of silver.

"Is this stolen goods too? If it is, you won't be able to use it either."

Zuo Daxing frowned. "Well... this is indeed from robbing someone in the past. I buried it to keep it safe and took it out after being released from prison, just to show some face. But we don't have any other money. Please make do with it. There are so many people here who can vouch for you. No one will say you're thieves."

"That makes sense." Mourong Lingran nodded, considering melting it down. "Brothers, how do you think we should handle them?"

Mourong Zong calmly said, "They've been beaten and scolded. Spare the other two for the sake of the village, but these three should be handed over to the authorities."

Mourong Zhe nodded, "That's right, hand them over to the authorities."

The three brothers were stunned, realizing they were still going to be turned in. They anxiously started thinking of a way out.

Just then, Xiao Gao, holding the silver, rushed over and handed it to Mourong Lingran. She rolled her eyes and said, "Here, can you release my son now?"

Mourong Lingran opened the cloth bundle, briefly checked the amount, and nodded to her elder brother.

Mourong Zong and his brothers then approached and released all five of them.

Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Gao quickly went forward to untie their sons' ropes and tried to leave, but Mourong Lingran had other plans.

She calmly said, "If you ever seek revenge against our family or engage in wrongdoing again, especially targeting other villagers, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll hand over these confessions to the authorities, and I believe you understand the consequences."
