"That's right, we didn't touch a single penny. I don't care, I won't pay. I'll pay one dollar, but not a single cent more."

They were now filled with regret. The shop assistant had told them to put it back in the first place; if they had, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

This boss, relying on someone's backing, refused to let it go.

Seeing that the two were completely unmoved, Gu Huanian said to Zhang Da, "Since they are unwilling to pay compensation, let's send them to jail for a few years. They should be more than happy to do so."

Upon hearing this, the two men instantly lost all color in their faces, turning deathly pale. Their lips trembled as they stammered, "No...no need! Look, I only have five yuan in my pocket. I really can't come up with any more!"

"Yes! I only have five yuan on me," another person hurriedly replied.

The people who were shopping at the supermarket had been watching for a while. Seeing this, one of them spoke up and advised, "It's just a few candies. They're willing to pay five yuan in compensation. In my opinion, that's enough. Why be so petty?"

"Yes! Five yuan is enough for our family's food expenses for a week. Since they are willing to compensate us, I would say we should just let it go."

"Boss lady, look at the current state of affairs, it's not easy for anyone to make money. Now that they're willing to lose money, let's just let this matter rest!"

As everyone chattered away, Su Li remained unmoved. "The words I posted outside aren't just empty words. My shop can offer some perks, but the principles can't be changed. They have to compensate me tenfold for the candy. That's the rule in my shop."

“If you’re not willing to take this money today, then we’ll go to the police to resolve this,” Su Li said firmly. This was a matter of principle and she couldn’t back down.

Having no other choice, the two men, seeing Su Li's assertiveness and then looking at Gu Huanian and his companion, knew they couldn't persuade her otherwise, and reluctantly handed over the money.

They will never come to this store again.

Having resolved the matter, Su Li addressed the onlookers, saying, "I apologize for taking up everyone's time today. Everything in the store is 30% off today, but that's only for today."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone stopped watching the spectacle and went to choose their favorite items.

Su Li hadn't seen Gu Huanian for several months, except for the last time when she applied for a business license.

The person had indeed helped her earlier, Su Li said to him, "Thank you for earlier. Please see if there's anything you like. I'll give you a 50% discount as a way of thanking you for your help today."

After saying that, Su Li went downstairs. Her relationship with Gu Huanian was over, and no matter what, they shouldn't be entangled together anymore.

Not long after Su Li went downstairs, Gu Huanian came down with Zhang Da.

I browsed around the supermarket downstairs and picked out a bag of apples.

When he walked up to Su Li, Su Li weighed the apples and gave them to him at half price.

He didn't say anything more. Gu Huanian looked at Su Li's face and saw that she hadn't gained much weight.

Just now, when she was about to fall, her waist looked much thicker when his hands wrapped around her waist.

Could she be pregnant? This thought flashed through Gu Huanian's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

It's probably impossible. If it were true, his mother would probably have noticed long ago.

After busying herself for a while, Su Li looked up and saw that Gu Huanian had already left.

Less than half an hour later, Chen Shujing arrived and immediately started working alongside Su Li.

"Su Li, you've been busy all morning, go and rest for a while. I'll watch the store for you. It's such a big event for you to open your store, and you didn't even tell me. If it weren't for the neighbors telling me, I really wouldn't have known about it."

In fact, Gu Huanian asked her to come, but she was worried that he would be unhappy if she said Huanian's name, so she simply said that it was the neighbors who told her.

To save her from feeling burdened.

Su Li didn't tell Chen Shujing at first because she didn't want her to come and get tired.

This morning, she only took a short break while confronting those two people. Being pregnant and busy for so long, she really couldn't take it anymore.

"Auntie, I'll rest for a bit and then come over."

Chen Shujing waved her hand, "Go ahead! Don't worry, I'll stay here and watch over things."

After what just happened, I doubt anyone would dare to cause trouble again.

There was a small cubicle upstairs in the supermarket. Su Li went straight in and locked the door.

She flashed into the space, arrived at the room, drank a cup of spiritual spring water, and then lay down on the bed.

Whether it was because the bed was too comfortable or because she was too tired, she originally planned to sleep for a maximum of one hour.

As a result, I slept for more than two hours straight.

She came out of the space, tidied herself up, and hurried downstairs.

He walked over to Chen Shujing and said, "Auntie, you must be exhausted! I overslept."

Chen Shujing shook her head; "I'm not tired. If you haven't rested well, then rest a little longer."

Su Li shook her head. She took a few apples and bananas from the fruit section and handed them to Chen Shujing.

"Auntie, thank you for coming to help today. You can take these fruits home and eat them. I'll take care of the rest. You should go home now."

Chen Shujing wanted to stay a little longer, but she knew that Su Li was just being considerate of her.

She took the things and said, "Okay, do you want to come to my place for dinner tonight? I'll cook something nice to help you recover."

"I'm not going."

Gu Huanian is back; it's best if she doesn't disturb him.

Chen Shujing knew her concerns and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."

After Chen Shujing left, Su Li was busy for more than an hour, and it was basically time to get off work.
