Although the fire was discovered in time last night, the kitchen was still damaged and is now a mess, so we can't do business today.
In the middle of the night, the Gan family rested for a while and got up early to clean up the kitchen. Looking at the dilapidated kitchen, Old Man Gan was heartbroken, and Zhao was cursing and swearing.
"What a jinx! We finally reopened, and she destroyed it all with a fire. Now we're going to lose business again and have to spend money to rebuild the kitchen..."
As Zhao spoke, she grew increasingly angry and couldn't help but vent her frustration on Gan Mingli:
"When you were kicking them out yesterday, why didn't you think to ask that little hussy for money to compensate us for the kitchen?"
Because of his previous misunderstanding about his wife, Gan Mingyi now felt inferior. Although he knew his wife was taking her anger out on him, he didn't dare to say a word and just gave an awkward smile.
"Didn't Mingyi get twenty taels back from her? That should compensate for our losses..."
"fart!"
It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up; mentioning it only made Zhao even angrier:
"Those twenty taels, weren't they also my aunt's? In the end, we still lost out!"
After driving Zhao Juan away last night, Gan Li revealed the whole truth.
When the Gan family learned that the man was actually Gan Li who had gone there to test Zhao Juan, they were all very relieved.
Fortunately, they found out at the beginning. Otherwise, if someone had really targeted Zhao Juan and wanted to harm their restaurant, and they were kept in the dark, wouldn't they have been caught off guard?
They might actually succeed!
As for Zhao Juan—although it was a test, Zhao Juan had no idea that her reactions were genuine, so she deserved her current predicament!
No one felt sorry for Zhao Juan anymore. Even when the news of Zhao Juan being kicked out of Cangxi Town came, everyone only paused for a moment before going back to doing their own thing.
Only Zhao Shi, who had been severely tricked by Zhao Juan before and had heard her cursing her yesterday, was still angry and would always find an excuse to curse her.
Amidst Zhao's grumbling and cursing in the background, Gan Li lay on the bed pretending to sleep, but actually slipped into the supermarket.
Having won the bet decisively, she felt she couldn't let herself not mock the Virgin Mary face-to-face, as she had been holding back her anger for the past few days.
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Maria with a mocking expression, and asked:
“I told you long ago, some people can be saved, while others should just be left to rot in the ground, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you see the result, what do you have to say?”
Maria was so embarrassed by what she said that she could hardly lift her head. She weakly replied, "What else can I say? I accept my loss!"
His timid and submissive demeanor was a stark contrast to his previous confident appearance, and even his saintly aura seemed to have dimmed considerably.
Ganli looked at its pitiful appearance, but felt no pity at all—what was there to pity? Wasn't it all its own fault?
She was more concerned about the bet between the two of them.
Gan Li was nervous inside, but maintained a composed demeanor on the surface, and said:
"We already agreed that if I win this time, I have the right to refuse any future tasks issued by the system, and they won't deduct my merit points!"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Maria and said with a slight smirk, "You wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"
When Maria saw the distrustful look on her face, she couldn't help but think of how she had cheated and begged Ganley for another chance several times when she was about to lose. Her face turned bright red.
To defend its dignity, it spoke almost without hesitation:
"Am I the kind of person who goes back on their word? I'm a man of my word, and from now on, the tasks are up to you to choose whether or not to accept them!"
Gan Li breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
She looked at the overripe lychees floating in front of her, sighed in a shrewd, old-fashioned manner, and said in a deep voice:
"Little Ma, it's not that I don't want to do the tasks, it's just that, as you've seen, sometimes the tasks you post are really unreliable. So, the request I'm making is for your own good. I hope you won't take it personally!"
How could Mary not see that Ganli was being hypocritical, getting a good deal while pretending to be innocent?
Unfortunately, the person I helped in that previous mission, the things she did were really...
Although Maria lost the bet this time, she also realized that what Ganli had said before was not without reason.
Some people are indeed not worth helping.
For example, Zhao Juan—that's a case in point since it started issuing missions as a system spirit!
So it dared not refute the pear's teasing, and in a panic, brought up something else:
"Well... now that you have the right to refuse missions, are you going to give up on Gan Tao's mission from before?"
Ganli noticed that she was changing the subject, but she hesitated when it came to Maria's words.
She had previously been willing to lose merit points rather than do this quest. But now…
She hesitated and said, "No rush, let me think about it some more."
Maria wanted to mock her, saying that she had previously been criticizing herself, but now she was also overflowing with a saintly heart.
However, considering that Zhao Juan hadn't gone far, and given Gan Li's sharp tongue, if she teased her now, she would probably end up spitting blood, so she didn't dare to speak and shrank back weakly.
Ganli didn't say anything more. After leaving the supermarket, she got up and stretched.
Although Zhao Juan went through so much trouble this time and even lost a kitchen, she still didn't lose out.
From now on, she has the upper hand and no longer has to worry about the system popping up some ridiculous tasks from time to time!
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated, and even the messy kitchen didn't seem so bad anymore.
Zhao was carrying out a pile of burnt food. She was feeling distressed, and when she saw Ganli, she couldn't help but start grumbling again:
"Sister-in-law, you're up? Come and see! Look at that damned Zhao Juan, she's made us waste so much stuff!"
After saying that, he muttered in a cryptic tone, "Tell me, is this place cursed for us? Ever since we opened our restaurant here, we've had nothing but bad luck. It's either been burned down or vandalized..."
Upon hearing this, Gan Li frowned and was about to speak when she was interrupted.
"Little sister!" Gan Mingyi lifted the curtain and came in from the front. Seeing that Gan Li was up, he was overjoyed and quickly said:
"I was just about to call you when Boss Sun arrived. He said he needs to talk to you."
Old Sun?
Ganli nodded and said, "I'll go take a look." Then she put aside what she had just said and turned to walk forward.
