Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space
Chapter 301:
Sowing Discord
The Chen family exchanged glances, perplexed. Wasn't that just a dog? Can a dog hunt? With such a massive body, how could it possibly run? It would be lucky not to be eaten by other wild animals.
Mourong Liang sneered, "Haven't you seen Hei Mao? Even though you're less than one meter sixty, it's already taller than you. Just think about it, it needs several kilograms for one meal, maybe even ten kilograms or more. Three meals a day, that's about one or two taels of silver. Do you think A'Zhe would be willing? Now you're coming to the door, aren't you just here to snatch the dog's meat to eat? Do you have the nerve to say it out loud?"
Madam Liu curled her lips, "Well... since Hei Mao can hunt so easily, their family must not lack meat. They must have saved a lot of money during this time. Can't I ask them for some money for meat?"
Mourong Liang's face turned grim, "No, you can't! If you go now, no matter what excuse you use, in the eyes of outsiders, you're helping A'Cai's uncle vent his anger. Today is their fault. How about it? Do you want to join forces with outsiders to bully your son? Do you still have the self-awareness of a mother? If you dare to go, don't blame me for really taking harsh measures against you!"
Madam Liu looked at the people from the Chen family in embarrassment. It was too much to repeatedly lose face in front of others!
She also felt resentful. The old man only knew how to protect his unfilial son. She was just asking for some money. Could that be considered bullying?
Master Chen knew that it was impossible to instigate Madam Liu to cause trouble with Mourong Liang around. He had to say, "Old man, your eldest son and your grandchildren have beaten my children like this. You have to give us an explanation."
"Explanation?" Mourong Liang sneered, "Speaking of explanations, shouldn't you give me an explanation first? You said you were going to the mountain for a stroll, but how did you end up at my eldest son's house? You were even beaten out as thieves?"
Madam Liu's eyes flickered with guilt and she dared not say a word.
Mrs. Chen and Murong Xue also involuntarily shrunk their bodies, trying to reduce their presence.
Mrs. Wu and Master Chen glanced at the three of them, afraid that the old man would investigate further, and immediately dared not speak.
Mourong Liang frowned, looked at the five of them, and couldn't understand what else was unclear. He became furious, "Alright, I kindly took you in, but unexpectedly, I harbored a whole family of thieves. Even if I have conflicts with the eldest, it's our family affair. I won't tolerate you meddling here, sowing discord. Get out now!"
Mrs. Wu couldn't take it anymore, "Old Master, it's unreasonable for you to drive us away. We agreed back then that we would return the fifty taels of silver, principal and interest, to you all at once after our new house is built next year. How can you go back on your word!"
Mourong Liang snorted, "Forty taels of silver, lent to you for several years. I let you smoothly start your own business. Over these years, you've made a lot of money. I only charged you ten taels of interest, which is already generous. Although I don't know why you gave up your business in your hometown to come to the capital, I'm telling you clearly now, even if you have money, I won't entertain you anymore. Now, get out immediately!"
Seeing that Mourong Liang seemed determined to drive them away, Mrs. Wu couldn't take it anymore. Today was embarrassing enough. If they were forced out again, their family would really have no place in the village.
She had to lower her posture, forced a smile with a gritted teeth, and said, "Old Master, I'll be honest with you. The truth is, when we told you we were going to the mountain for a stroll, we were indeed deceiving you."
