Liang's mother cried and screamed for a long time, but no one paid any attention to her.
She only stopped shouting when her voice became hoarse. Only then did she have to admit that she had been completely rejected by the people in the group.
This made her feel extremely anxious.
Her gaze fell upon the large bag full of silver notes, and she instantly regained her confidence.
Hmph, money is her true strength. As for those two unfilial sons, they're gone, so be it. She's rich and beautiful; she'll just find another young and handsome man.
You can have as many children as you want.
Liang's mother was enjoying the bright future ahead, but as the temperature in the room dropped and she sneezed one after another, she realized her current predicament.
The fire pit inside the house had lost its warmth, and the firewood outside had been moved away. Apart from a large bag of silver notes, she had nothing else.
If this continues, not to mention the future, even her life will be in question.
You can't possibly burn the banknotes just to keep warm!
The problem is, she doesn't even have a tinderbox now.
Ugh, Sheng Lingwei is so cruel! Is she trying to force her to die?
Hmph, Liang Danfu is lucky and will never give up.
Only after Liang's mother was shivering from the cold did she put on all her summer clothes before taking the silver notes to find Rong Mama.
"Knock knock..."
"Is Granny Rong here? I'm Liang Dan, I need to talk to you about something."
Rong Momo and Bai Ji Bai Shu exchanged a glance. They knew without a doubt that this woman must have been desperate to come to them to exchange things.
Honestly, they didn't want to talk to this idiot at all.
Granny Rong rolled her eyes, put on her cotton-padded coat, got off the kang (heated brick bed), opened the door and said irritably, "It's so late, if you don't go to sleep, others still need to. What's the matter? Hurry up and say it."
Mother Liang's face was almost frozen, and she forced a stiff smile. "Granny Rong, I have nothing in my room. Can I buy something from you?"
"Sure, cash on delivery. We have no personal relationship whatsoever."
Mother Liang choked for a moment, then nodded, suppressing her anger, and said, "This, this is of course."
"Alright, enough nonsense. Just tell me what you want to buy. I don't have that much time to waste on unimportant people."
Mother Liang took a deep breath. She was clearly just a servant girl, yet she put on airs in front of her. Her arrogant attitude was utterly despicable.
Fine, she endured it to survive, and would wait until later...
Rong Momo's face hardened, and her eyes darkened.
"Stop with that calculating look on your face. You really think I can't read your mind?"
Liang Dan is far too naive. With her stupidity, she wouldn't last even half a day in the harem.
Mother Liang was terrified and quickly avoided Rong Mama's gaze, her voice trembling as she said, "Rong Mama, you've misunderstood me, I..."
"What do you mean, 'what ...'? If you still can't learn your lesson, then get lost and fend for yourself. If you're so capable, don't come looking for me. Do you really think I have no temper?'"
A look of panic crossed Liang's mother's face, and she hurriedly begged for forgiveness, "No, no, no, Granny Rong, I was wrong. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."
Rong Momo raised her chin high, her eyes filled with utter contempt. "I'll let it go, but you have to compensate me for my emotional distress."
"What? What compensation for emotional distress?" Liang's mother opened her mouth in shock.
Rong Momo rolled her eyes. "With your stupidity, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. To put it bluntly, I'm telling you to compensate me with money, or don't even think about buying anything from me in the future."
If the banknotes are left with this woman, they will be stolen sooner or later.
Rather than have them stolen, she'd rather take some back and give them to the princess early on to avoid waste.
Liang's mother's lips twitched a few times. Damn woman, all she wants is money, and she even mentioned some kind of compensation for losses. Ugh!
She was reluctant to give away the money, but the current situation wasn't a matter of whether she was willing or not; she had to give it away, or she would be dead sooner or later.
Left with no other option, Madam Liang took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it to Granny Rong, saying with a fawning smile, "Granny Rong, I'm really sorry, please take this money and do me a favor."
"Ha, you think you can get rid of me with just a hundred taels of silver? Liang Dan, don't forget that I am Princess Chang Le's servant. If you look down on me, you are looking down on me..."
"No, no, no, Granny Rong, please don't talk nonsense. I just took the wrong banknote. I'll get a new one right away. Don't worry."
Mother Liang was startled and quickly gave Rong Mama a new silver note with a denomination of one thousand taels.
Although she looked down on Rong Momo, who was a servant, she would never dare to look down on Sheng Lingwei, this great devil.
If she goes berserk, she will definitely kill her.
Rong Momo smiled slightly, barely satisfied, and reached out to put away the thousand taels of silver notes.
"Alright, it's getting late. Tell me what you want to buy."
Mother Liang breathed a sigh of relief, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Granny, I need to buy tinder, firewood, teapot and cups, pots and pans, chopsticks, grains and vegetables... That's all for now. If I need anything else later, I'll come back to you."
Rong Momo nodded slightly.
"Yes, I have all these things here, but as you know, Black Wind Stronghold is in the middle of nowhere, so the prices are naturally different from the usual prices."
"Here's the deal: I'll give you a discount, five thousand taels in total. Take it if you want, otherwise get lost and don't disturb my sleep."
"Five thousand taels?" Mother Liang was shocked. "I only need ordinary items, at most a few hundred taels, how could I possibly need five thousand taels?"
Rong Momo's face darkened instantly, and she pushed Liang's mother outside.
"Take it or leave it. If you're not buying, get lost. You think you can haggle? Who do you think you are?"
The mother was pushed and stumbled, landing hard on the cold floor. She winced in pain, her face contorted in agony.
Seeing that Rong Momo was about to close the door, she shouted anxiously.
"No, Granny Rong, I want it, I want it, okay? I have five thousand taels here, I'll give you the money right away, right away."
Rong Momo snorted coldly, "Cash on delivery, hurry up."
"Hiss~~"
Despite the pain, Liang's mother got up and shakily took out the silver notes, counting them one by one with a pale face, her heart feeling as if it were bleeding.
This is blatant robbery!
Rong Momo grew impatient and snatched the silver notes, counting out five thousand taels and throwing the rest to Liang's mother.
"Wait here, and I'll give you what you want right away."
In no time, Rong Momo, Bai Ji, and Bai Shu carried all the things that Liang's mother wanted to the doorway of the house, piling them up in a huge heap.
Rong Momo pointed to the things on the ground and said, "Liang Dan, everything you asked for is here. Don't worry, we are all people of our word, and we won't shortchange you on anything."
After saying that, Rong Momo turned around, went into the room, and closed the door in one swift motion.
Mother Liang glared, jumping up and down in anger, "Hey, Rong Mama, shouldn't you take the things back to where I live?"
The cold voice of Rong Mama suddenly came from inside the room.
"Those are your things, not ours. Why should we move them for you?"
