Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

 Chapter 4: 

Money is needed everywhere

 Since others have premeditated to drive him away, he is not such a shameless person.

 “Ahahahaha!”

 Gao was delighted.

Murong Zhe waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "We have lived in your house for twenty days. We don't need to pay for the remaining ten days. However, you must pay us back the extra month."

In the past, he would never argue with a woman over a little money, but now the situation is special and he needs a lot of money, so he has to.

 “Impossible.” Once the money is in her pocket, it is hers.

Murong Kuan said: "Dad, A’Ran just woke up and needs to rest. Let's stop talking nonsense with her. We have the rental documents, and she didn't deny charging us the rent for the next month just now. There are so many witnesses here. We have all the evidence and witnesses, so let’s report it to the official. Although this is the outskirts of the capital, it is still under the emperor’s feet. I believe the official will make the decision for us."

Seeing Gao's face turning pale, Murong Zhe nodded and said, "Okay, that's what should be done, let's go."

As he spoke, he counted the luggage on the floor. When he saw that the quantity was correct, he went to the kitchen to pack up the remaining oil and salt, rewrapped it, and left.

Fortunately, when he entered the mountain, he sold all the medicinal materials he collected the past few days, and they just moved in without any furniture, otherwise it would be really difficult to clear out.

Mrs. Gao didn't expect that they would report to the official, and she was panicked. She would be in big trouble if they reported to the official.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard an anxious voice.

　　　“Legend is coming, Lee is coming.”

The crowd immediately made a way, and Murong Zhe stopped, turned around and looked at the person who was approaching in a hurry, and shouted respectfully, "Uncle Zhuang."

“A’Zhe, if you would not report to the official, just to give Uncle Zhuang some face, okay?”

Murong Lingran looked at her third brother in confusion.

Murong Kuan briefly explained a few sentences.

It turned out that they were in urgent need of a place to stay after returning to Beijing because Murong Lingran was injured. However, they did not have much money at that time and the cost of living in the capital was high. They could not live for a few days with the little money they had. Moreover, when people left, the tea was cold[1], and Murong Zhe left. They had visited all of their father’s former colleagues’ homes, and everyone regarded them as savage beasts.

When they were holding their injured daughter helplessly, it was Li Zhuang who felt sorry for them and suggested coming to Lihua Village, saying that although the houses in the village were dilapidated, they were not expensive and there happened to be a vacant house that could be rented to them for emergency use.

In addition, their village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, so they would not starve to death in the future. Murong Zhe had no other choice at that time, so he agreed.

Murong Zhe was confused when he heard this: "Uncle Zhuang, you also know my current situation. The money is all earned by my third son who wakes up early and goes to the mountains at night to collect herbs. Although my daughter is awake, look at how weak she is now. Money will be spent in the future, and now that I have no place to live, I have to look for another place. Money is needed everywhere, and there is nothing else I can do."

Li Zhuang nodded understandingly. Someone had already explained the situation to him on the way here. He turned to look at Gao angrily and said sternly: "Give them back next month's rent!"

Mrs. Gao flinched when she was yelled at, with a look of reluctance on her face, "Li Zheng, it's not that I won't return it to them. You also know that I am a superstitious person. I only recently learned that the house cannot be occupied by sick outsiders. Since their sick daughter has lived here, and I have to ask an expert to exorcise me, the money they paid is not even enough to hire someone. I haven’t asked them to compensate for my losses, so how can I pay them back?”
