Ian addresses the grammar, but it should also be noted that without context what you say doesn’t make sense. ‘Suing’ is formally asking for something, and that ‘something’ where I’m from is usually money. The meaning needs to be clarified, and a word other than ‘sue’ might be appropriate. Or you should at least clarify how the meaning of ‘sue’ that you are using is different from its usual meaning!

Both sentences convey the same meaning and are grammatically correct. However, sentence 1 has better clarity and structure because it separates the two statements into two distinct sentences, making it easier to read and understand. Sentence 2 combines both statements into one sentence with a comma splice, which can make it harder to parse the two separate ideas. To improve the structure of sentence 2, you could use a semicolon or break it up into two separate sentences like in sentence 1. So, sentence 1 sounds better.

Each sentence has good things. #1 - It is good to divide the thoughts into 2 parts #2 - It is more common to say "just BY paying money" instead of "FROM" Good work and good luck! I hope you are enjoying the Ramadan night markets at the moment.
