Double compensation was not a small number, and although Su Yunjin and Gu Ya currently had several thousand taels of silver on hand, it wouldn't last long if they had to pay out. Without finding a way to completely resolve this issue...
They could quickly lose half of their silver in compensation.
Now that the shop had burned down and she was pregnant, there were so many things that she and Gu Ya needed to deal with, they simply didn't have the time to reopen Zuixiang Restaurant.
They also didn't have the time to brew wine.
Therefore, the issue with the contract had to be resolved first.
As for how to resolve the issue...
Su Yunjin thought it over, and they still needed to negotiate with the restaurant with which they had signed the contract. Business is all about interests; their shop being burned was their own problem, and it wouldn't be fair to ask others for a few months' extension on the delivery of the fruit wine because of it.
