Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 124:

All Ours

Walking back home, Murong Zong noticed they were heading in a different direction than the last time. Perplexed, he asked, "Where are we going? This isn't the way home, is it?"

Murong Lingran quickly realized that her elder and second brothers were unaware of the family separation, so he briefly explained the recent events.

Murong Zong furrowed his brows, "Grandmother separated us?"

After receiving the reward, they went to the escort agency right away, and they didn't expect that Grandma would split the family after they left. Didn't she know who had been supporting her all these years?

And Uncle Qi, too. Even the children admired the kindness their father showed to Uncle Qi's family over the years. Yet, he went along with Grandma's decision to separate them. Did he have a conscience?

Murong Zong expressed his indignation, "Grandma and Uncle Qi have gone too far. At that time, A’Ran was still unconscious, and Dad's hand was injured. They were heartless!"

Murong Zhe calmly said, "It's in the past now. You've all returned, and that's enough. Dad only hopes that your brothers will be safe. We don't ask for anything more."

Murong Zong and Murong Xuan exchanged a glance. Although their father spoke lightly, they knew he must be feeling uncomfortable. Bringing up old issues and reopening his wounds wouldn't be any better.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly turn heavy, Murong Lingran quickly changed the subject, "Elder brother, second brother, your return is timely. Our family has already started building a new house, and we even have five acres of uncultivated land. After lunch, I'll take you to see it."

Not long after, they arrived at the bamboo house. Murong Lingran pointed to the new house and the fenced land. "All of this is ours."

Both Murong Zong and Murong Xuan looked at the new house and the land filled with vegetables in shock. In less than three months, their family actually had a house and land?

Understanding their questions, Murong Kuan brought them each a basin of water. "Elder brother, second brother, freshen up a bit. I'll explain how all this happened while you wash up."

Murong Zong nodded, "Okay."

He was too curious. In just a short two months, their family had undergone earth-shaking changes.

By now, it was already noon. While his elder and second brothers changed, Murong Lingran entered the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

After a while, Murong Zong came to the kitchen after changing his clothes, looking at his sister who was skillfully busy in the kitchen. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "A’Ran, let me do it."

He couldn't have imagined that the sister they used to protect so carefully had become the only one healthy and managing everything in the family.

Thankfully, they had encountered a benefactor, received a reward, and now had a new house and land.

His third brother's foot injury had healed, and they both returned. His father and younger siblings wouldn't have to work so hard anymore.

Murong Lingran smiled and said, "Elder brother, if you want to help, wash the vegetables for me."

Murong Zhe also said, "A’Ran's cooking skills are excellent. If you don't believe it, try it later. Let her handle the stir-frying, and you guys can assist."

Seeing them trying to persuade him, Murong Zong could only nod. He took his two younger brothers and quickly washed the vegetables.

Murong Lingran knew her elder and second brother had a challenging journey, and they probably hadn't had a decent meal in a long time. Their stomachs were likely severely lacking nutrition. Therefore, she planned to make a simple dish of vinegar-stirred eggplant as the only vegetarian dish.
