Chapter 42: Chapter 42 The Smile Gradually Solidifies

Sun Hao’s expression turned stern as he spoke, "Mom, just because their business is doing well thanks to their own ability doesn’t provide you with a reason to frame them. You’re not a child. When you were selling those spoiled buns, you should have thought about the consequences. Not only did you not admit it when confronted, but you also framed Mr. Lin. You need to compensate for both the medical expenses and the defamation damages."

Granny Sun is usually fierce in front of others, but she is quite afraid of her son.

Feeling aggrieved by her son’s scolding outside, she said, "Those buns were only left for two days; they weren’t that spoiled. Moreover, I didn’t only sell the leftover buns, I mixed them with freshly steamed ones..."

"Mom, are you still trying to justify it?"

Granny Sun pursed her lips, no longer daring to speak further.

Chuxia realized upon hearing this why Granny Sun was so bold and the couple also felt guilty; it turned out this was the situation.

However, Chuxia didn’t plan to take the defamation compensation.

"Officer Sun helped me subdue the thugs before, so let’s forget about the defamation compensation."

"That won’t do. Each matter should be addressed separately; protecting the safety of the people’s lives and property is our duty. My mom’s mistakes should be punished," especially since when he arrived, Lin Chuxia had already subdued the robbers. "Since Mr. Lin won’t mention it, let’s settle it according to my monthly salary; how does that sound?"

"There’s no need for so much," Granny Sun was anxious; she had only spoken out of turn, how did it end up involving her son’s one month’s salary?

Sun Hao ignored his mother, his gaze sincerely meeting Lin Chuxia’s.

Chuxia thought for a moment, "Here’s a deal, I noticed that the buns Granny packed are quite skillful. I’ve been thinking about opening a bun shop. If Granny is willing to pack buns in my shop, we can forget about the defamation fee, and I’ll also pay her a salary. What do you think?"

She thought of this idea after seeing the buns that Granny Sun had made.

Packing buns seems simple, but to make them look good requires skill. Indeed, Granny Sun’s buns are rather well-made.

With just her and Su Wensong at the Bun Shop, they clearly need more hands; another person to pack buns would be just right.

Granny Sun didn’t expect this turn of events to bring such good fortune; no need to compensate for damages and even receiving a salary?

"How much do you plan to pay for the salary?"

Sun Hao glanced at his mother again, and Granny Sun immediately shut her mouth.

"Thirty per month, and there might be a chance for a raise later."

"Okay, I’ll go."

She couldn’t continue with her bun stall; these past few days she had worked hard from dawn to dusk, not only did she not earn money, but she also ended up losing more than thirty.

A job with a steady salary and no losses, of course, she would like that.

Thirty yuan in salary is about the same as working in a factory.

Besides, at her age, no factory would hire her anyway.

Seeing his mother’s joyous expression, Sun Hao helplessly thanked Lin Chuxia, "For the first month, you don’t have to pay her. Let her work for free for one month as compensation for your losses."

Granny Sun’s smile gradually stiffened.

...

Upon returning home, Chuxia found Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin sitting under the big tree in the yard, cooling off.

Seeing her return, they both came over to help her with her things.

"Why are you a bit late today? Have you eaten? I’ll go make you something to eat."

Chuxia replied with a smile, "Mom, did you forget what business I’m in? If I’m hungry, I can eat buns."
