The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

Shuang'er's face was full of anger and she shook her head vigorously, "How could I believe what a stranger said! Get out, you are not welcome here!" Her voice was filled with anger and determination.

"Get out?" The woman laughed strangely, with a hint of indifference and greed in her eyes. "Okay! Pay the rent first."

Shuang'er widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Rent, hasn't the rent been paid long ago?" She was suddenly shocked, remembering that Shen Lang had vowed that he had rented the house for three months.

The woman raised her lips in a mocking smile, then slowly took out the house deed and lease agreement from her bosom and handed them to Shuang'er, "Who paid it? Did you pay it?"

Shuang'er's eyes fell on the two contracts, her face instantly turned as pale as paper, her lips trembling slightly, "You haven't paid it for more than three months?"

"That's right. This is not the first time that Shen Lang has asked a woman to pay the rent for him. We are all used to it! So when we come to collect the rent, we always prepare the house deed and the lease together to avoid any confusion when the time comes!" The woman's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Shuang'er's heart.

Shuang'er slumped down on the ground, as if she had lost all her strength. She was still in extreme shock, her mind in disarray. Shen Lang was actually a liar? This realization made her heart sink like an ice cellar.

Suddenly, Shuang'er came to her senses as if struck by lightning. She realized that now was not the time to worry about whether Shen Lang was a liar, but how to solve the tricky money problem at hand.

"I was only tricked by Shen Lang into coming here to live here. Besides, I've only been here for less than a month!" Shuang'er quickly stood up, clenched her fists, and tried her best to defend herself, her eyes full of anxiety and grievance.

"Girl, all women say that, but..." The woman stretched out her voice and pointed to the signature and fingerprints at the bottom of the deed, "You all pressed your fingerprints and signed your names!"

"You were so happy when you moved in that you didn't even look at the lease term on the property deed?" The woman sighed, but there was no sympathy in her tone.

Shuang'er's face turned pale again and her body shook involuntarily, as if a gust of wind would blow her down.

"How much is the rent?" Shuang'er's voice trembled a little. She had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the number would not be too shocking.

"This location is good, it's popular, and the house is new, so the rent is expensive, twelve taels a month!" The woman said slowly, staring at Shuang'er, not missing any expression on her face.

When Shuang'er heard this number, she felt a black screen before her eyes and sat down on the ground again. "Twelve taels a month, that means I have to pay thirty-six taels!" Her voice was filled with despair and helplessness.

After a moment, Shuang'er seemed to be provoked by something. She suddenly became angry, stood up abruptly and said loudly: "You, you knew that it was Shen Lang who rented it, why didn't you go to him, but came to me." Her eyes were wide open, full of anger and unwillingness.

Seeing her become so fierce, the woman smiled coldly again, "He's just a good pretender. What's the point of us looking for him? It's not his signature or fingerprint. At best, he's just an intermediary, introducing tenants to us, and it's free. He doesn't charge any referral fees!"

"You, aren't you helping the evil?" Shuang'er was so angry that she was shaking all over. "I don't care. I'll only stay here for less than a month. I'll only pay one month's rent at most." Her voice was tearful, and her heart was full of grievances and unwillingness.

"Haha, that won't do. If you really do that, we'll have to go to the authorities. It's only natural to pay back debts!" ​​The woman put her hands on her hips and spoke confidently, with no intention of backing down.

Shuang'er felt very distressed. Thirty-six taels! That was all the savings she had worked so hard to save in her life. She had carefully buried these dozens of taels of silver in the pit under the tree hole, thinking that it would be of great use in the future, but she didn't expect that it would be gone like this now. She didn't know how much she regretted it, and why she trusted Shen Lang so credulously.

Seeing Shuang'er fall silent, the woman continued, "Also, the money you owe is more than thirty-six taels!"

Shuang'er widened her eyes and glared at him angrily, "Not only that, what other money do you have?"

The woman counted on her fingers, and began to list them one by one: "The jewelry in the Jade Pavilion, from the time you met Shen Lang, the hairpins, the pearl flowers, the earrings, and the hairpins, all of them, are not paid for. There are also the clothes and fabrics that Shen Lang bought for you at the clothing shop, and the meals you ate at the restaurant, all of which are not paid for. Including the midnight snack you had at the stall last night, and the sweet soup you drank, all of which are not paid for!"

After hearing this, Shuang'er felt her head buzzing and she was about to go crazy. "Those were all ordered by Shen Lang. Go ask him for them! Why are you looking for me?" She shouted hysterically, tears welling up in her eyes.

At this moment, Shuang'er felt extremely desperate and helpless. She didn't know how to face this sudden huge debt, and she didn't know what her future would be like.

Shuang'er was in a desperate predicament.

"How much will all this cost? How can she afford it?" Shuang'er's heart was filled with fear and helplessness, as if she was in an endless dark abyss.

The woman's voice, which was somewhat sarcastic, sounded again: "However, Shen Lang signed a monthly settlement with our store, so every time he came, he had to bring someone to sign and press fingerprints, and find someone to pay. What about you? You are the woman he recently picked."

The woman had a kind but sarcastic smile on her face and continued, "Don't you know that you need to sign and put your fingerprints on your shopping?"

Shuang'er's face was pale and her heart was full of regret.

Of course she knew it. Shen Lang said eloquently that it was the payment collected from the delivery of goods by his grocery store. He asked her to sign and put her fingerprints on it just because she had received the payment and needed proof.

He also tricked her into thinking that next time she went to collect the payment, Shen Lang wouldn't need to show up, as the shopkeeper would give her the money.

Shen Lang even swore that this was his sincerity in marrying her, and that all the money earned from the family business would be shared with her. Only then did she believe Shen Lang's lies, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprints.

She once foolishly thought that this meant that she had the right to collect payment from these stores in the future. Now thinking about it, she realized how naive and stupid she was.

Shuang'er sat down on the ground again, thinking in despair: It's over, how can she get all this money?

At this time, the woman saw that Shuang'er was no longer rude and violent, and her tone softened a little. She said slowly: "I roughly estimated the money, and the total is 128 taels of silver. Girl, how are you going to pay it?"

When Shuang'er heard the number, she gasped in shock and shouted angrily, "So many? You guys, how is this different from robbery?"

The woman responded calmly: "I have the records here, and I remember every detail clearly!"

Shuang'er was still unwilling to accept this and continued to protest: "Why is it that all the money Shen Lang owes is from your family?"

The woman patiently explained: "Because Mr. Shen is related to my lady, so my lady gave him convenience and allowed him to owe money as he pleased, as long as he paid it back every month!"

The woman paused and asked again: "Now, young lady, is there anything you don't understand? If not, return the money!"

At this time, there was no smile on the woman's face anymore. She squinted her eyes, as if she was looking at a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
