It's not that Hua Mi doesn't want to stock up on food, but the key issue is that Hua Mi has no need to buy the expensive food and water from these stalls.
Moreover, all the food and water, no matter how high the price, were sold as soon as they were released.
Nine and a half out of ten express deliveries sent from other places to Xiangcheng are food and water. Food and water are being poured into Xiangcheng in a steady stream, but the market does not seem to be overflowing with food and water.
It means that everyone is hoarding food and water.
In this situation, finding cheap food and water in such a place would require exceptionally good luck.
When Afu saw Hua Mi say that, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Anyway, with Gong Yi as her backer, Hua Mi probably doesn't lack food. He's just an employee, so he doesn't need to worry about the boss.
Looking into the truck bed, the barbed wire takes up the most space.
The burly man selling barbed wire had a lot of it, as he was delivering it to construction sites.
After he loaded all his goods onto Afu's truck bed, the big man was a little worried that he might have sold too much to Hua Mi.
After all, Hua Mi looks like a naive young girl. What would she do with so much barbed wire?
Hua Mi walked over and handed him the money.
“If you still have any barbed wire, you can bring it to the rescue center. I come here every few days. I’ll take whatever you have, as I’m planning to use it to make a fence.”
After saying that, she got into the car and asked Afu to drive her back to the ruins.
However, they didn't notice that Fang Xin was standing some distance away from the truck, taking pictures with her phone.
She filmed Hua Mi talking to A Fu and Hua Mi getting into A Fu's truck.
After the truck left, Fang Xin sent the photos from her phone to Qin Ziran and also sent him a text message.
[Fang Xin: Brother Ziran, hurry up! I've found my sister! She's leaving if you don't come soon!]
Qin Ziran didn't reply to the text message for a long time. Fang Xin looked at the line "[Typing in progress...]" above the WeChat chat window with satisfaction.
She didn't even need to imagine how shocked and upset Qin Ziran, who loved Hua Mi so much, must have felt when he saw Hua Mi get into an old man's truck.
Qin Ziran was upset, so naturally he wouldn't let Hua Mi off easy.
He would constantly pick fights with her and try to control her.
Fang Xin just enjoys seeing Hua Mi suffer.
She waited a while, and Qin Ziran sent a few words in a text message, after some editing and deletion.
[Qin Ziran: Where are you?]
Fang Xin quickly told Qin Ziran the location of the stall area. Of course, by the time Qin Ziran arrived to find Hua Mi, the truck was no longer there.
Hua Mi has also disappeared without a trace.
Fang Xin reached out her finger and tugged at Qin Ziran's sleeve, looking utterly aggrieved.
"Brother Ziran, I'm sorry. Last time, my sister even hit me to avoid me, so I didn't dare to stop her this time."
As she spoke, tears welled up in Fang Xin's eyes. She raised three fingers.
"I swear, I really texted you the moment I saw my sister, Ziran... Sister, she's changed so much. Is she really dating that truck driver?"
That must be true; Fang Xin had never seen that truck driver before.
If Hua Mi didn't hook up with that truck driver, then she must have some kind of relationship with him.
Fang Xin would bet her toes on it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Ziran, his face contorted with rage, roared at Fang Xin.
"How could Ami possibly be interested in a man like that?"
He saw that the old man in the photo was probably around 50 years old, and his clothes didn't look like those of a wealthy person. He was also driving a large truck.
This is the kind of work only people living at the bottom of society would do.
Hua Mi is beautiful and capable. Even if she wants to find a man to make Qin Ziran jealous, she will definitely find someone who looks better than Qin Ziran.
How could they possibly hire a truck driver?
He was already outstanding enough, and Hua Mi could never meet a man more outstanding than him.
Qin Ziran's roar successfully brought tears to Fang Xin's eyes. She lowered her head and cried silently, just like a submissive wife, not daring to refute Qin Ziran's words.
In fact, Fang Xin did not agree with Qin Ziran's words. She felt that Hua Mi was just like herself, and would do anything to spite someone.
As for whether Hua Mi will actually find a truck driver to be her lover.
That's not necessarily true.
Truck drivers actually earn a lot more, much more than she does as a salesperson with poor performance.
If this truck driver can give Fang Xin several thousand yuan every month, then Fang Xin wouldn't mind finding a truck driver as her sugar daddy.
Applying this line of thinking to Hua Mi, if the money were given to Hua Mi, she would definitely do it.
Looking at Fang Xin's innocent and naive appearance, and thinking about how she loved him to the point that she couldn't live without him, Qin Ziran softened his tone.
"You stay here and wait for Ami. I'll go back and take care of some work."
Yes, Qin Ziran certainly has a job, and he works for a very good company. He is currently on probation.
Although Xiangcheng experiences frequent earthquakes, the entire city has not been destroyed. Large areas of the city remain intact. For society to function in its most basic way, people must be in their essential positions to keep society running.
Qin Ziran's job is to procure supplies for the City Management Bureau, and this is when he is busiest.
The task of finding Hua Mi could only be pushed onto Fang Xin.
Fang Xin loves him to death; she wouldn't do anything naughty.
Fang Xin nodded obediently.
But when Qin Ziran was about to leave, Fang Xin reached out and grabbed the hem of Qin Ziran's clothes.
She seemed very embarrassed, her feet, clad in silver-white suede high heels, shuffling along the ground little by little.
"Brother Ziran, I... I haven't been to work these past few days because I've been looking for my sister. My boss is furious... And the economy isn't doing well right now; we sales people don't have much business..."
Her salary wasn't high to begin with. After graduating from vocational high school, she found a job selling real estate and just did it casually. She would clock in in the morning and then make an excuse to go out and have fun in the afternoon. Whenever she ran out of money, she would ask Hua Mi for it.
Of course, Qin Ziran was also very generous. After Hua Mi started dating Qin Ziran, Fang Xin also received a lot of benefits from Qin Ziran.
After sleeping with Qin Ziran, the material benefits increased even more.
Upon seeing Fang Xin's state, Qin Ziran immediately understood her predicament. He expressed his sympathy and took out his phone to transfer 30,000 yuan to her.
"Take these for now. Things are a bit chaotic outside right now. I'll give you the money after you find your sister. You don't need to go out to work anymore anyway, since your job doesn't pay much anyway."
