The police told the "Salted Vegetable Sisters" about Sheng Yueqing's demands, and the fat women angrily exclaimed, "What? Three hundred in compensation?"

"Bullshit! Why would we need that much!"

They only earn eighty yuan a month. If they really lose that much, they'll starve.

It would be better to take their lives.

The police were speechless. "If you don't want to pay compensation, why smash up someone else's shop!"

“If she does not agree to a settlement, you will be detained for at least 37 days.”

"If she sues you, you'll go to jail!"

After all, it escalated to the point of almost murder, so they could sue them if they wanted.

The Pickled Vegetable Sisters were stunned. "She's not dead, is she?"

"Besides, it's not like we put a knife to her neck; she was the one who wanted to commit suicide."

The police interrupted impatiently, "That's because you forced her to do it. Otherwise, why would someone who was perfectly fine commit suicide!"

The "Pickled Vegetable Sisters" group tried to argue their case, but the police wouldn't listen.

"Either pay up or go to jail, the choice is yours!"

The group of pickled vegetable sisters were furious, glaring at the triangular-eyed proprietress, "It was all your bad idea, you pay for it!"

"Exactly. This wasn't happening between us; it's all your fault!"

They didn't make any money, and now you want them to lose money? Don't even think about it.

The shop owner, with her triangular eyes, also got angry. "I told you to cause trouble, not to smash up someone's shop!"

"You're the ones who broke the things, so of course you have to pay for it!"

Since she didn't lay a hand on them, let the sisters pay for it.

The "Pickled Vegetable Sisters" were furious that she would shift the blame, so they shoved her and said, "Yang Caihua, how dare you scheme against us?"

The other two sisters also widened their eyes, saying, "That's right, you have to pay for this, or you'll go to jail!"

The four sisters started arguing, and the police came to stop them.

"You guys definitely have to pay for it, it's just a matter of who will pay."

"Or ask the family to bring the money over, and I'll have someone notify them."

Knowing they couldn't avoid it, the "Pickled Vegetable Sisters" had no choice but to ask the police to notify their families.

The men in the house were at work when they saw their wife causing trouble and demanding compensation, so they rushed over in anger.

Hearing that he had to pay 300 yuan in compensation as soon as he arrived made him even angrier.

None of the three families wanted to pay the money.

He spat at the pickled vegetable vendor and said, "This whole mess was caused by your wife, so you'll have to pay for it yourselves!"

The family wasn't well-off to begin with, and now this mess had happened, which made the brothers-in-law very unhappy.

The pickled vegetable vendor was also angry, but in his heart he blamed the three pickled vegetable sisters for being useless.

He's so fat, yet he can't even handle a little woman. He's utterly useless.

Unable to reach an agreement, they called in the elders of the family.

Finally, the whole family came and discussed it together, saying they would send an elder to negotiate with Sheng Yueqing and ask her to give them a discount.

Even with the entire family present, Sheng Yueqing was not afraid.

Talk to them openly and honestly.

"This is the receipt for the glass cabinet I bought; the price is clearly marked."

"You must know how strong your daughter is, so you should naturally compensate for the broken items."

"Also, I was delayed by a day of not being able to open the store, so I should be compensated for lost wages."

"Furthermore, first three women scared me, and now the whole family is trying to force me to my death."

“That’s fine. I’ll commit suicide in front of everyone on the street when we get out. Before I die, I’ll tell everyone that the Yang family from Lane 27 forced a young man like me to my death.”

"Then we'll have the newspapers publish it, so the whole city of Shanghai can see your true colors."

"you."

The elder in the Yang family thought she was a young girl from out of town and would be easy to scare, so he called the whole family over to put pressure on her.

Unexpectedly, they weren't afraid at all; on the contrary, they seemed to be going all out.

If they really kill someone, and it makes the newspapers, the whole family will lose their jobs.

The Yang family patriarch was furious. "A bunch of idiots! Hurry up and pay them compensation!"

The sisters in the pickled vegetable group didn't want to give it, but the clan leader pressured them, so they had no choice but to each contribute one hundred dollars.

One hundred yuan is equivalent to three months' worth of food expenses for them, and it hurts them terribly.

After losing money, the group glared angrily at Sheng Yueqing.

Sheng Yueqing gave a cold snort and met their gazes openly.

Having run a business for two lifetimes, she knows that the weak fear the strong, and the strong fear the reckless.

She's the kind of person who doesn't care about her life.

Of course, she mainly had the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. Everyone on the street knew about it, including the police, and even people from the newspaper came to take pictures, which is why she dared to accept the compensation.

In addition, the Yang family was not snobbish, which allowed them to vent their anger.

Otherwise, she wouldn't confront someone head-on if no one knew.

Now that the matter was resolved, Sheng Yueqing went to buy some meat to share with the shopkeepers who had helped her and the kind-hearted locals.

He went from house to house thanking everyone.

Those out-of-town business owners couldn't stand the pickled vegetable couple bullying them, who were locals, so they naturally helped them whenever they could.

Having received a thank-you gift, they had an even better impression of Sheng Yueqing.

"It's not easy for a girl like you, to remain so calm after such a big thing has happened."

Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do about not being calm. The shop is open, and we have to get through this."

If you're timid and afraid of trouble, you won't be able to open the shop even for a day.

The other shop owners, however, were somewhat impressed.

If it were them, they would probably just have an argument and that would be the end of it.

I never expected that Sheng Yueqing, at such a young age, would dare to confront so many people and even get compensation.

Some shop owners lack empathy; instead of feeling sorry for them, they are actually jealous.

He spoke in a sarcastic tone, saying things like, "You're heartless too. How much does someone earn in a month and you've already lost so much?"

Sheng Yueqing retorted on the spot, "You're so kind, why don't you donate some money to them?"

"Or, should I go and talk to the pickled vegetable couple and say that you'd like to pay for their expenses?"

The woman immediately shut up, glared at Sheng Yueqing, and said, "You're a money-grubber; you'll make money from anything."

Sheng Yueqing chuckled, "Yes, yes, yes, if your shop gets vandalized in the future, we definitely won't help you, so you won't feel embarrassed to accept compensation from others."

"you."

The other woman was angry and wanted to argue, but her husband cursed at her and dragged her inside.

That's just how people are.

There are good and bad aspects, and some people can't stand seeing others do well; they get so envious when they see others living a good life.

Sheng Yueqing doesn't tolerate this kind of person.

It's better to make the other person furious than to make yourself furious.

She went home in a good mood after delivering the meat.

He Yushen hasn't come back these past few days, so she plans to tinker with some more crops in her space.

The coconut trees I planted earlier survived, but they won't bear fruit quickly, so I'll have to plant some other things.

She plans to grow some coffee beans, otherwise they'll be very expensive right now.

She was busy all afternoon when Miss Bai came looking for her.

It turned out that the coffee cake she made that day was delicious, and all the rich young ladies and gentlemen loved it and wanted to order a few more.

Sheng Yueqing smiled, "No problem, but coffee cakes are quite expensive~"

Miss Bai knew that coffee wasn't cheap, and that good food was generally expensive, so she simply pulled out several large bills.

Is this enough?
