On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Seeing that Rong still had something to do, Old Madam Wu suppressed her slight unhappiness.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Rong took out the bill and said, "Madam, I shouldn't have mentioned this to you at this time, but since our shop has just opened, we really can't sell on credit. Please pay me the remaining money."

Old Madam Wu was stunned, First Madam Wu also looked up, and Third Madam was even more slightly surprised and a little flustered.

The other ladies also stopped what they were doing, their eyes showing a hint of curiosity, keenly smelling the scent of gossip.

Madam Lu finished the snack in her hand and pressed the corner of her mouth with her handkerchief: "Madam Rong, generally speaking, no one will owe money to the snack shop. If there is a lot of money like a banquet, they will order it in advance and pay a deposit. When the steward of the mansion goes to confirm it one day before the banquet or early in the morning, the balance will be paid."

Rong bowed slightly and said, "Mrs. Lu is right. That's exactly what she said."

Mrs. Lu was stunned. She didn't expect that Rong would remember her just after a few whispered words.

Mrs. Lu was delighted: "If that's the case, the snack money should have been paid long ago, how could it be..."

Her words seemed to be speaking for the Wu family, but in fact she was leading the Rong family to tell the truth.

Mrs. Wu San hurriedly stopped him and said, "Rong, I will solve this matter for you. Look, our Wu family has such a large family business, it won't run away, how can I owe you a few taels of silver?"

After saying that, he pulled Rong out.

Rong smiled faintly and said, "You are..."

"This is our third lady," the maid said, "She is also in charge of the snacks this time."

Rong nodded slightly: "So you are the Third Madam that the nanny mentioned. This morning, the nanny who was in charge went to the store. She was not the same person who took the order. I asked why the person was changed, and she said that the Third Madam was in charge now."

Madam Wu said, "Yes, I sent someone to place the order before, and then my third brother's wife said that my mother had given it to her, so she took it over from me."

Old Madam Wu glared at her but couldn't say anything. That was the fact.

Rong continued, "The nanny who came before was quite straightforward and paid the deposit promptly. The rest was agreed to be paid upon delivery. But today..."

She changed the subject: "The nanny who replaced it said to keep 30% and pay it back when I got home. I thought about it and it's okay. Although there is no such rule, the Wu family is such a big family, it won't run away on its own, and they don't need my money."

The last few words she said were exactly the same as what Mrs. Wu San had said just now, and Mrs. Wu San's face immediately turned red.

Rong didn't care about her expression. They would never cooperate with such a family again.

He handed the list up and said, "Madam San, please take a look..."

The deposit and the second payment are all here, and I can't even find an excuse.

Mrs. Wu San was so angry that she took a look at the list - she was reluctant to give it to her. She had already deducted one third of the money and put it into her pocket. Taking it out again would be like cutting her flesh with a knife.

But not giving it to me... is not justifiable right now.

She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. She simply called the nanny who went to pay the money. The nanny was also smart and would definitely admit to the matter. Then she could say that it was her subordinates who did a bad job and they should be severely punished. With all that said and done, how could Rong have the nerve to ask for money?

Let’s send Rong away first. Once today is over, she will never ask for money again, and the Wu family will not order anything from their shop anymore!

After making up her mind, Mrs. Wu San calmed down and said, "Go, call Mrs. Sun and ask her what's going on."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Rong knew what she wanted to do.

Rong smiled and said, "Here are the receipts for the two payments. They are 30% less than the original quotation. Madam, please refer to the receipts. I still have to deliver goods to other companies and cannot delay any longer."

"What you said, I have to ask about the situation, I can't just say whatever you want."

"Here is the receipt, the amount is clearly written. I only know that I was given less money. As for why I was given less, is it because the Third Madam's order was not issued, or is it as the mother-in-law said, the Third Madam's order was issued to reduce my payment by 30%, I don't know. After all, this is the family's business, and I don't want to know too much."

After she finished speaking, she bowed to the old lady and the first lady and said, "I think the Wu family has a good reputation. If they fail to control their subordinates strictly, they will be severely punished. Old lady, you are kind. I really don't want others to be punished because of me. If the money and goods are not equal, I won't say anything."

Mrs. Wu said nothing, and the old lady was so angry that her face turned blue.

I finally got something to look forward to, but now it has turned out like this!

She knew clearly in her mind that it had nothing to do with Mrs. Sun. It was the third wife's doing, trying to embezzle the 30% of the silver.

She felt tight in her chest, but she couldn't get angry on the spot. This matter couldn't fall on the third family, otherwise what would it be? Even if she had to push it hard, she had to push it to Grandma Sun.

The old lady nodded and said, "Okay, the third family, give the money to them first. Mrs. Sun is getting bolder and bolder. She dares to take this kind of money. Let's see how to punish her after the banquet!"

Mrs. Wu San's heart was bleeding. She still had to take out the silver!

But fortunately, the old lady did not slap her in the face in public and did not embarrass her.

Helpless, she could only say: "Mother is right. My daughter-in-law is negligent. I will strictly discipline these unruly slaves in the future."

She took out the banknotes, thought for a moment, and took out a large one, and handed it to Rong: "Oh, there are no small ones, this..."

Rong's cloak was lifted slightly, revealing a sachet and a purse on one side.

After taking off her purse, she glanced at Rong's banknote, which had a face value of one hundred taels.

"Today's snacks cost a total of sixty taels, thirty percent is eighteen taels, and you gave me a hundred taels of silver note, so I should give you eighty-four taels in change."

After saying this, she dumped her purse onto the empty small table next to her. There were silver coins of two taels each, silver ingots of ten and twenty taels, a dozen gold leaves, and a few gold beads.

Everyone: "..."

Mrs. Wu San: “…”

Rong remained calm, collected eighty taels of silver ingots, and weighed a few pieces of silver: "They are all more than four taels."

She turned around and looked at the ladies: "Who has four taels?"

"I, I just changed it this morning."

Rong handed over the eighty-four taels and said, "Madam San, please count it."

Mrs. Wu San's face trembled and she took the silver. Rong calmly put the banknotes away and put them into her purse.

After tying the purse back around her waist, Rong seemed to remember something: "Madam, you like almond pastries, don't you?"

Mrs. Wu San was extremely angry and thought, "Why do you want to please me now? It's too late!"

Mrs. Wu San sneered: "I used to like eating it, but now I don't. Some things, relying on my liking for them..."

She wanted to say something more, but Rong interrupted her directly: "Then you have to ask why Madam told us to give you three months of free almond cakes, saying that you love them, and that it is a blessing for us to give them away for free."

"We dare not ask for this blessing."
