"Is she joking?"
"Does she know Captain Cao Feng?"
"Fang Huai."
Amidst the mocking gazes around them, Fang Huai's two gambling addict friends stared at him in astonishment.
They probably only know that Hua Mi is the owner of the RV supermarket, and that the RV supermarket has an unusual relationship with the Xiangcheng garrison.
If Hua Mi really gets annoyed, she might actually suggest to Cao Feng that they stop providing the rescue center with two free meals a day.
Whether Cao Feng listens to her or not is another matter; the most important thing is that she has influence with the garrison.
"We were just joking."
The lewd-looking man stepped forward, facing Hua Mi with a fawning smile.
"You know, it was very hard for your uncle to raise you. He told us that you've become successful now, but you don't care about his life or death. We also feel that there's no such logic in this world, right?"
Hua Mi is still on the phone.
"Cao Feng, I'm not discussing this with you now. I'm officially informing you to immediately stop all free food services at the ambulance center."
“They want food and drink, they can buy it with money, but they don’t have any? Perfect, isn’t Xiangcheng pitch black? Let them work, whether it’s lighting up Xiangcheng or repairing houses in Xiangcheng. Anyway, the money your garrison has entrusted to me is almost gone. I’m going to keep the rest to deduct from your garrison’s food expenses.”
"If you continue to provide them with free food, your garrison will be starving. Your leader's troops are not easy to manage. If the garrison is hungry, morale will collapse. Let's see what you do then."
She deliberately exaggerated the problem, but in reality, not much of the money in Xiangcheng had been spent. Moreover, Gong Yi later found her reserve funds from City B.
That's also several trillion.
However, Hua Mi thought that simply feeding such a large number of survivors and providing them with two free meals a day was really spoiling these survivors.
There are survivors who are lazy and unwilling to work, so they simply stop doing anything and can survive on these two free meals a day. Who would bother to do anything?
If you do nothing, you'll just be idle. Gambling, prostitution, fighting, and causing trouble all stem from being idle.
When a person is busy making a living, who has time to block a woman and snatch cherries from her hand?
No one would be so idle as to sit in a roadside tent watching a play and gesturing at Hua Mi.
These are all bad habits that come from having too much free time.
Cao Feng was startled by Hua Mi's words, and he hurriedly said:
"Sister Hua, Sister Hua, don't be angry. Did someone cause you trouble? I'll issue a notice right away. Actually, we've been wanting to stop the two free meals at the Xiangcheng and B City ambulance centers for a while now."
"I've just been busy with this and that, and haven't had time to focus on this."
Since the earthquake, the sun hasn't come out at all. The rain has been pouring down for days, and Xiangcheng is busy using condoms to pump out the water. They haven't really put much effort into management.
Now that Hua Mi has raised the issue, Cao Feng will do as she says.
Although he was stationed there and worked for Gong Yi, he was loyal to Sister Hua.
Having received Cao Feng's consent, Hua Mi felt relieved.
"Well, it's nothing serious, I can handle it myself. Alright, hurry up and issue the notice, I'll find someone to light up Xiangcheng."
She knew that Huo Jing's relative, a contractor, could find a source of light bulbs.
When she asked the contractor to repair the [Xiangcheng. Watchtower] teleportation point for her, the contractor mentioned that he could contact a manufacturer that makes light bulbs.
After hanging up with Cao Feng, Hua Mi called the contractor and asked him to recruit a group of workers so that she could "light up" Xiangcheng.
Since the sun won't come out, we can't live in darkness forever.
Humans have eyes, so they must use them to seek the light.
Fang Huai, standing to the side, was furious at Hua Mi's attitude of ignoring him. He was so angry he wanted to hit her. Encouraged by his gambling friends, he clenched his fists and waved them at Hua Mi.
"Are you looking for trouble? You're like a wild child, always trying to climb on the roof and tear off the tiles. You haven't even grown wings yet."
Before she could finish speaking, Hua Mi kicked Fang Huai, sending him flying and landing face-first in the mud.
"Hey, why are you hitting people?"
"Just because you have a good relationship with the garrison doesn't mean you can be an ingrate or beat people up."
"That's outrageous! I'm asking you why you dared to hit someone. Who gave you the right to hurt the people who raised you like this?"
"He raised you with great difficulty, not so that you would hit him today!"
A barrage of accusations swept in, and Hua Mi turned to look at these idle people, sneering.
"He worked hard to raise me? Shouldn't we say the opposite, that I worked hard in their Fang family, like a beast of burden, and only grew up with great difficulty?"
"Don't spout nonsense if you don't know the inside story. Who gave you the courage to point fingers at other people's affairs? Are you all living well now? Don't you need to work hard anymore?"
The details of Hua Mi's difficult upbringing in the Fang family are too numerous to recount to these people.
The more he talked, the more he fell into the public opinion trap created by Fang Huai, wasting all his time, energy, and spirit on it.
Hua Mi took two steps forward and lifted Fang Huai from the mud. She squatted down and said coldly to Fang Huai.
“If you only feed me leftovers and cold soup every day, and that’s considered giving me a bite to eat, then the money I’ve given your family for five years since I started working part-time while studying at university is enough to cover your food expenses.”
“Fang Huai, in this life, I survived my illness by sheer luck and sheer willpower. From childhood to adulthood, what I feared most was the school asking for money, which meant I would have to collect garbage day and night to raise enough money.”
“You Fang family raised me? You made me sleep in the cupboard, and you fed me your leftovers, the kind of leftovers that even dogs eat better than me. If that’s considered raising me, then the money I gave you later was enough to pay it back.”
Moreover, in her previous life, Hua Mi treated Fang Xin like a younger sister and protected her for her entire life.
"In this life, we owe each other nothing."
Hua Mi released Fang Huai's collar and watched him fall helplessly into the mud. Her eyes were filled with disdain.
“You shouldn’t live in Xiangcheng, because your trash doesn’t deserve such a good city like Xiangcheng, and it doesn’t deserve the garrison’s wholehearted protection of you.”
She knew Fang Huai well; he was like a lump of mud, the kind of man who would cling to anyone he could rely on and never let go, no matter what.
If Hua Mi doesn't scare Fang Huai into submission, this man will definitely cling to her in the future.
After saying that, Hua Mi punched and kicked Fang Huai again, completely disregarding the accusations from those around her.
Hahaha, the preserved plum and melon seeds are so delicious!
