Setting Up Stalls – Chapter 171

Needs to Compensate Money

The troublemaking man just wanted to find trouble, he was not prepared to violate the law and discipline; according to the thinking of people in the country, at most it would just be a brawl, not escalating to an armed fight. So the troublemaking man didn’t bring anything, just his body of fat and his unreasonably pestering momentum, and came over.

He was truly startled when he saw Sun Miao take out the kitchen knife. But very quickly, the troublemaking man felt that Sun Miao was just using the knife to scare him. After all, she’s a little girl, how could she have the guts to use a knife or anything.

When Sun Miao took out the knife, the surrounding customers were also startled, and even Shen Yiqiu frowned. She was close and directly opened her mouth to say a sentence: “Little Boss, don’t be impulsive.”

The troublemaking man heard Shen Yiqiu’s voice and even laughed out loud, as if he had heard some amusing joke: “Still ‘don’t be impulsive’? Do you think she dares to make a move? A slip of a girl whose hair hasn’t even fully grown, dares to use a knife to scare people? Let me see, do you dare to move? Playing with a knife in front of your grandpa, you…”

“I will not actively make a move, but if you approach me again and have the intention of making a move against me, I will carry out a defense.” The usual smile on Sun Miao’s face was long gone, her expression was very serious, and it was this serious expression that made the troublemaking man realize—this person wasn’t just simply holding a knife.

Thinking about it carefully, when this little girl retreated just now, she had quietly and without a sound hid the knife, and now that he approached her, she only then took it out, proving that she indeed already harbored the intention of using the knife. As for whether she dared to use the knife, the troublemaking man now truly did not intend to bet his own life.

At this moment, the troublemaking man, on the contrary, felt a bit like backing down.

After all, no matter how savage he was, he was still a body of flesh and blood, and if that knife really stabbed over, it would be a white knife goes in, red knife comes out¹, and he could really get seriously injured. He earned quite a lot, and didn’t want to really get into trouble.

Right at this moment, Zhou Ling’s mother’s little sister-friend who had just been scolding him the most fiercely opened her mouth: “Zong Sang²! You get away from Little Boss Sun! I’m telling you! I’ve already called the police! They’ll be here right away!” She then turned her head to look at Sun Miao: “Little Boss Sun, don’t be afraid, I’ll be your witness, I recorded it all just now!”

Her words were actually all for Sun Miao’s sake, telling Sun Miao not to be afraid, and even more so telling her not to be impulsive, that she was there. The other surrounding customers also started to speak up: “That’s right, Little Boss, don’t be impulsive, it’s not worth it!”

Within a few sentences, there was truly the sound of a police car with its siren wailing.

When the police came over and saw the complete mess on the ground and Sun Miao holding a knife, they immediately shouted: “Little girl, don’t be impulsive, first put the knife down!” They walked a bit closer, took the knife from Sun Miao’s hand, and only then breathed a sigh of relief.

There wasn’t much to say about what happened next, it was just directly taking the two of them away. Zhou Ling’s mother’s little sister-friend wasn’t bluffing, saying she would be a witness and then really running over.

Inside the police station, the person taking a statement for Sun Miao was a female police officer, who even asked for Sun Miao’s contact person’s phone number in a soft and gentle voice. Sun Miao didn’t hesitate, reporting Su Ruixi’s. The female officer was stunned for a moment, and emphasized: “Sun Miao, what is her relationship to you? Is she a friend? Do you not have any relatives over here? For this kind of matter, it’s still better to call a relative, and an older person would be slightly better.”

Sun Miao knew what the female officer meant, because the other party looked very unreasonably pestering, and Sun Miao was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, still a little girl. If there was an elder present, they could also help her out more.

But Sun Miao shook her head: “Not a friend, she is my lover³.”

The female officer didn’t show any particular reaction, just nodded her head, and continued to wait for Sun Miao’s next words.

“I also don’t have any relatives or elders here, I am an orphan, I can only contact her.”

Sun Miao actually had a little bit of guilt from “causing trouble for Su Ruixi again.” The first time she set up a stall, she also seemed to have gone to the police station, and it was Su Ruixi who helped find a lawyer, not only preventing her from encountering trouble but also allowing her to receive compensation instead.

Now she had to trouble Su Ruixi again…

But very quickly, Sun Miao came to her senses: the two of them are in a lover’s relationship, when she encounters a problem, if she doesn’t ask Su Ruixi for help, who should she ask for help from? Should she really ask her old customers? If she ended up asking the Hip-hop Yabi duo, Su Ruixi would most likely be a great and special vinegar (jealous) if she found out.

Thus Sun Miao became justifiably confident again.

When the female officer saw her situation, her eyes looking at her were even more filled with compassion, and she even nodded her head: “Okay, I understand, you rest for a while first, if the person arrives I will bring her in.”

When the female officer left and she was the only one remaining, Sun Miao thought about many more things, for example, how to cause some trouble for the troublemaking man. Through proper legal procedures, he would definitely have to pay a price. Because the system had told her: 【Before he overturned the cart, I had already replaced all the equipment with brand-name goods of the current world, and the corresponding purchase procedures and electronic invoices have also been sent to the host’s email inbox. And I guarantee that after he overturns the dining car, the equipment inside will be damaged.】

“Then how much will he have to compensate?”

【The rice cooker is twelve thousand, the blender is five thousand…】The system listed a whole bunch of things, which added up to about fifty or sixty thousand kuai. Sun Miao clicked her tongue in astonishment upon hearing it, but neither Sun Miao nor the system were going to let the other party off with just compensation.

This kind of matter could be resolved through private negotiation, reaching a settlement through payment. If Sun Miao did not accept the settlement, according to this amount of damage, even if the other party didn’t have to squat in the clink⁴, at the very least administrative detention and a fine would be required, and he would also be left with a criminal record.

But looking at him, he would probably feel that a criminal record was of no consequence.

Sun Miao still felt that she couldn’t let him get off so easily.

The system also added fuel to the fire for her: 【I curse him in the name of the system! He will definitely have a miserable life!】 After hearing this, Sun Miao couldn’t help but laugh out loud. These words also seemed familiar; for that weirdo man before, the system had also cursed him like this.

“Alright, alright, I believe you. But this isn’t enough, I have an idea.”

Sun Miao’s eyes lit up; if Su Ruixi were here, she would definitely know that Sun Miao wanted to be mischievous again. Every time she had some mischievous ideas, her eyes would shine just like this.

After Su Ruixi received the call, she directly called her lawyer, and after arranging to meet her at the police station, she changed her clothes and rushed out the door in a great bustle. Before leaving, she also called her assistant, telling her to also hurry to the police station.

This was the time to hold up the scene⁵, if not her assistant, who would she call.

As for Xu Zi’an… forget it, her friend was still considered reliable, but she doesn’t stick to half a note of the score⁶, calling her would purely be adding to the frustration. Su Ruixi drove her car to the police station entrance, smoothed her hair, and then walked inside. She first went to find Sun Miao. When she entered the door, she saw Sun Miao sitting at the table in the mediation room, still holding a disposable cup in her hands.

When Sun Miao saw Su Ruixi, a smile spread across her face: “Susu-jie, you’re here?”

Su Ruixi quickly walked to her front and first pulled her up. Su Ruixi’s expression was stern, first scanning Sun Miao from front to back, top to bottom, left to right like a searchlight. Even though Sun Miao was saying “I’m really fine, he didn’t touch me before the police arrived,” Su Ruixi was still not reassured. After personally checking and confirming there were no problems, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

“What happened? Where is that guy?”

Su Ruixi’s two sentences were spoken with one having more killing intent than the last, as if if the troublemaking man were in front of her, she would first chop him up. Su Ruixi was absolutely not such an uncalm person on a normal day, but because it concerned Sun Miao, it was very difficult for her to remain completely calm.

Sun Miao comforted her for a while before Su Ruixi sat down in a chair to slowly discuss it with Sun Miao.

Su Ruixi first asked about Sun Miao’s intentions, to see if she wanted compensation or would not accept it. Sun Miao’s answer was very clear, she did not want compensation.

The previous Sun Miao especially wanted money, if there was compensation that would be for the best, how much is an apology worth. And the system had already created such a favorable situation for her, as long as she threw out the prices of those electrical appliances, she could get more money.

But the current Sun Miao, was truly not that short of money.

Selling Lion’s Head with Crab Roe before had let her earn a large sum, and she had also earned quite a bit from setting up her stall these days. And being together with Su Ruixi, her expenses had become much smaller. First was the rent; Su Ruixi had no intention of asking Sun Miao for rent at all.

She had actually secretly thought about whether she should transfer money to Su Ruixi, even if it was just a little, so she wouldn’t be living there for free. But having gotten along until now, what kind of personality Su Ruixi had, wasn’t she clear about it? If Sun Miao gave money to Su Ruixi, she might drill into a bull’s horn⁷, and would even feel that Sun Miao was looking down on her.

Su Ruixi, a dignified company boss, would she be short on that rent money? Besides, with Sun Miao’s income, if she really were to pay rent, for that villa of Su Ruixi’s, without ten thousand kuai a month, you couldn’t even rent a suite in her villa.

Rather than paying her rent, it would be better to make more delicious food to feed Su Ruixi’s stomach full.

If you truly see her as a lover, then don’t talk about things like rent or no rent.

In addition to this, Su Ruixi had never opened her mouth to have Sun Miao pay for water, electricity, gas, or anything; even the daily necessities in the room were usually replenished by the Auntie.

With these expenses saved, the only thing Sun Miao actually needed to spend on was just the grocery money. So during this period, Sun Miao had saved up a lot of little money-money, and had no areas that required large expenses, so naturally she wouldn’t want that bit of compensation.

“I don’t plan to accept mediation anymore, he is so arrogant, if I accept it, he will definitely come back to make trouble later.”

Regarding Sun Miao’s answer, Su Ruixi was very satisfied: “Mm, Miaomiao, you can rest assured, I called a lawyer, it’s the one you met before. We can’t let go of the compensation either, at most we won’t ask for extra compensation, but for those things in your dining car, he has to compensate for it all, one five one ten⁸.”

“You think you can just walk away after bullying someone? How could there be such a good thing.”

A bit of a smile appeared on Su Ruixi’s face, but compared to the kind and gentle smile of Sun Miao, her smile was colder.

And in another mediation room, the police were talking to the troublemaking man. Facing the police’s persuading with both nice and harsh words, the troublemaking man however had an attitude of indifference, he even reached out a hand to dig in his ear, as if the police were talking about something annoying.

“Aiya, I know everything you’re saying, it’s not the first time I’ve been here. This place is just like my own home, I’m so familiar with it. Isn’t it just paying a bit of money? That broken-down dining car of hers, the cart isn’t even broken, how much can it be worth? At most one or two thousand, I can afford to pay.”

He let out a sneer, no longer looking like he was scared into not daring to make a peep by Sun Miao holding a kitchen knife. Seeing his performance, the police officer working hard on mediation was also filled with anger.
