Chapter 79 You Have to Compensate Me
Bai Xue almost choked out of breath, "Ten thousand yuan, why don't you just go and rob it!"
In this era when the general salary is only a few dozen yuan, and a monthly salary of fifty or sixty yuan is already considered a high salary, ten thousand yuan is simply an astronomical figure, so there is the term "ten thousand yuan household", and a family that can earn ten thousand yuan is already quite impressive.
Ma Li asked for 10,000 yuan in compensation, which was an exorbitant amount of money and shocked everyone. Lu Xiaozhu also suddenly looked up at Ma Li.
"Ten thousand?"
"Ten thousand!"
"Isn't ten thousand too much?"
Everyone was talking about it, and someone even exaggeratedly said, "If I can really get 10,000, I'd be fine even if my face got rotten."
After hearing what I bought yesterday, I even regretted that I didn’t get acne on my face. If I had, I would have been able to get 10,000 yuan.
Gu Qingshi laughed when he heard Yi Wanqi, "Are you kidding?"
"Who is kidding you?" Mary retorted immediately.
"You asked for 10,000 yuan. Is this not a joke or is it serious? Who can afford it?"
"If you can't pay, then listen to what I said last night and don't sell it! Now that my cousin's face has been ruined, you say you can't afford to pay? Don't ask for too much, isn't my cousin's face and her marriage and life worth ten thousand dollars?"
It was difficult to respond after saying this, and everyone looked at Lu Xiaozhu, who lowered his head again.
Ma Li looked at him proudly and snorted, "If you can't come up with the cash, you can also mortgage Gu's Kitchen to compensate my cousin."
At this point Ma Li finally showed her greedy claws. She was so excited that she almost told me the truth directly and forgot to add the word "cousin".
Ma Li was upset yesterday, so she went to see Gu's Kitchen during the day. She originally wanted to expose Gu Qingshi's lies, but she found out that Gu Qingshi was really the boss.
Moreover, the business of Gu’s Kitchen was so good that Ma Li was very angry when she saw it. She wondered why Gu Qingshi was so successful. Later, she became greedy and changed her mind. She couldn’t wait to drag her cousin over and couldn’t wait even for a day.
Gu Qingshi saw the greed in her eyes clearly, "After all this trouble, it turns out that this is your purpose, but aren't you thinking too simply?"
"Why, you don't want to pay?"
"Of course, I will never compensate you." Gu Qingshi said without hesitation.
Ma Li's eyes were ruthless, "It's not up to you to decide whether to compensate or not. If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you. Smash it!"
The few people brought by Ma Li could no longer wait and took action immediately after hearing what happened. The originally lively night market was instantly replaced by screams.
They smashed things all the time, from the stall to the cart. When Ma Li saw Bai Xue rescue the whitening cream, they tried to beat her. Bai Xue was so scared that she screamed. Gu Qingshi's eyes turned fierce, and he picked up the broken table leg and smashed it on Ma Li's head.
Ma Li was knocked to the ground, hit on the head and face. She felt blood when she touched the blood. Ma Li screamed, "Blood, blood, Gu Qingshi, you actually beat me until I bled. You're dead! Beat up some people, beat up these two, and then go smash Gu's kitchen!"
When the people who came with Ma Li heard this, they were about to take action, but suddenly they heard a scream.
Following the sound, she saw Lu Xiaozhu squatting on the ground and shivering. Lu Xiaozhu raised her head, revealing red eyes, and looked at Ma Li fiercely, "Enough!"
Ma Li frowned and shouted, "What do you mean by enough? Just stay still!" As she was about to pull Lu Xiaozhu, Lu Xiaozhu suddenly exploded.
She pushed Ma Li hard, knocking her to the ground. The anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out, and her hoarse voice echoed throughout the night market.
"I've said enough, didn't you hear me? If you wanted to do something bad, why did you drag me along? I didn't want to come in the first place, but you forced me to come, and you even called so many people. Do you think I don't know what you mean? You're just using me to blackmail people!"
"You are asking for too much, and you are asking for it in my name. I won't let you get what you want, and I won't let you control me anymore!"
When Lu Xiaozhu looked at Gu Qing, he spoke word by word, "Boss sister, you are right. I have grown up. I am not deaf or dumb. I can speak for myself. I don't need compensation because there is nothing wrong with Boss sister's products. My face has always been like this! I don't feel uncomfortable after using it. I even feel much better than before. What my cousin said is blackmail!"
Looking at Ma Li's incredulous face, Lu Xiaozhu took a deep breath and said, "I won't be used by you anymore. From today on, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, and you can't even think about living in my house anymore!"
Ma Li's face changed drastically, full of disbelief. She didn't expect that Lu Xiaozhu, who had always allowed her to bully her and dared not say a word, would dare to disobey her orders and say such words.
"Lv Xiaozhu, you're crazy!"
"You are crazy!" Lu Xiaozhu didn't know why Ma Li was so bold and greedy.
Lu Xiaozhu apologized to Gu Qingshi, "I'm sorry, Boss sister. Everything today is because of me. I apologize to you and I will compensate you for the things that were smashed."
Then she apologized to the onlookers, "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm useless. I was threatened and I didn't dare to say anything. But don't believe what Ma Li said. She lies all the time. Her purpose is to extort money. There is nothing wrong with the boss's whitening cream."
Bai Xue almost cried when she heard this. Gu Qingshi also breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at Lu Xiaozhu. He saw her nervous but brave eyes and said, "I accept your apology. Thank you for standing up bravely. But you don't have to pay compensation because it's not you who should pay."
Gu Qingshi turned his sharp eyes towards Ma Li, "She was the one who blackmailed and caused trouble, and she was the one who smashed the stall, so she should also be the one to compensate."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ma Li glared at Gu Qingshi fiercely and was about to run away with the people who came with her, but then she heard Gu Qingshi say.
"Are you sure you want to run away? Haven't you heard the saying, 'You can run away, but you can't. If you run away today, I will go to the department store to find you tomorrow. I'll see what your colleagues and boss think of you. Do you want to quit your job?"
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. Ma Li's most vulnerable part is her job. She would never give up her job and she doesn't want any accidents to happen.
Ma Li stood still, gritting her teeth, "How much do you want me to pay?"
"I'm not like you, asking for 10,000 yuan right away. I only want one percent, which is 100 yuan."
Ma Li almost vomited blood, "One hundred? You are so embarrassed, this little thing is worth one hundred?"
She pointed at the smashed stall and was very angry. She didn't know how things had come to this point. Everything should have been going well, but Gu Qingshi didn't play by the rules and Lu Xiaozhu suddenly went crazy.
"If I say it's worth it, then it's worth it. And don't you have to compensate us for our mental damage? Are you blackmailing me, or do you want to talk to the police?"
Gu Qingshi was fearless. The cart and the table used for the makeshift stall were not sturdy to begin with, so it was a good opportunity to replace them with new ones. Anyway, she would not be polite.
