Ma Zhixuan did not respond.
He turned his head to look out the car window, and in the gray sky, he looked at the survivors outside, wrapped in coral fleece bedding, struggling to trek along the Hunan A Expressway.
He suddenly asked:
"Sister-in-law, do you know Hua Mi? What is her specific relationship with those garrison troops?"
Qin Zhen was taken aback. Of course she knew Hua Mi. The supplies her husband and Zhou Cheng were transporting to City C were approved by this woman, Hua Mi.
He's not someone you can easily offend.
Even the people of City C have to curry favor with Hua Mi.
After all, Hua Mi had a large amount of supplies.
Qin Zhen frowned, recalling the rumors about Hua Mi and Qin Ziran, and said to Ma Zhixuan,
"Don't get involved in this mess. Your girlfriend is a real handful. Look, you've only been dating her for a few months and she's already causing us trouble."
Qin Zhen explained to Ma Zhixuan the relationships between Hua Mi and Gong Yi, as well as Hua Mi, Qin Ziran, and Fang Xin.
During her time in Xiangcheng, she didn't just play mahjong with wealthy women from City C; she also deliberately collected a lot of information about Hua Mi and Gong Yi, as well as everyone around the couple.
There's no way around it; that's just how people in their social class are—they have to be far more careful and cautious than anyone else.
They were terrified that if they accidentally offended someone on someone else's turf, not only would they harm themselves, but the entire city of C would also lose its supply of resources.
That would be a losing proposition.
Therefore, Qin Zhen hoped that Ma Zhixuan would not listen to Qin Xiaolan's words and provoke Hua Mi.
However, Ma Zhixuan gave a perfunctory reply.
Hua Mi is nothing special; what's there to offend? She's just a woman with two hands and two legs.
It doesn't have three heads and six arms.
However, this woman was not as Fang Xin had described, having dated many boyfriends stationed at the garrison, which was why she was so popular among them.
It's because she and Gong Yi are a couple.
Ma Zhixuan chuckled.
"I was just asking. Hua Mi, this woman, is pregnant and still dares to kill someone with a knife. She's even more ruthless than you, sister-in-law."
Qin Zhen glanced at Ma Zhixuan but didn't say anything.
In this world, who among us who can live a good life is truly simple?
Once they entered Xiangcheng, Qin Zhen asked Ma Zhixuan,
"Are you going to go find your girlfriend? I'm telling you, your sister-in-law has realized lately that she's not right for you."
Sensing the encouragement in Qin Zhen's tone that suggested a breakup, Ma Zhixuan seemed somewhat disheartened.
"No, let her come to me. I want to go back and rest first."
After all this time and effort, Ma Zhixuan was exhausted.
Qin Zhen's eyes showed satisfaction as he instructed the driver to take them straight to their residence.
Meanwhile, Hua Mi had already collected the entire truckload of corpses and put them into her garbage station.
She parked the truck outside the empty crematorium, teleported back to Lotus Prosperity Supermarket, and filled the underground garage with supplies from her Level 24 Warehouse No. 1.
After filling the entire three-story underground parking garage, Hua Mi instantly arrived at the RV supermarket.
The roof of the large warehouse behind the RV supermarket was covered with waterproof tarpaulin by Huo Jing.
When Hua Mi was piling up supplies inside, she perfectly avoided everyone's gaze.
Just as she finished her work, Gong Yi returned to Xiangcheng from the red-light district.
He and all the other garrison soldiers tore up their teleportation tickets and returned to Xiangcheng.
Driving is too wasteful of gasoline and diesel, while using a teleportation ticket is much more environmentally friendly and saves a lot of money.
Although Hua Mi sold him a teleportation ticket.
However, Gong Yi discovered something: if the garrisoned soldiers banded together, they only needed to tear up a teleportation ticket to teleport multiple people together.
It's like a person teleporting to sell goods.
The amount of goods a person can teleport is equal to the number of people they can teleport with.
This effectively saves a lot of teleportation tickets.
When Gong Yi arrived outside the RV supermarket, he ran into Yu Mengmeng, who was heavily pregnant, arranging goods on the shelves outside.
Upon seeing Gong Yi approach, Yu Mengmeng shouted loudly.
"Ami, your husband is here."
A smile suddenly appeared on Gong Yi's usually serious and handsome face.
He nodded at Yu Mengmeng, finding her quite pleasing to the eye.
"Hello."
"Hello, Commander."
Yu Mengmeng suddenly felt flattered and pointed to the warehouse behind the supermarket.
"Your wife is clearing out the stock in the back."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Hua Mi walked over, dressed in a coral fleece maternity outfit.
She strode forward and nudged Gong Yi in the waist with her elbow.
"Let's go for a prenatal checkup."
Very decisive.
Actually, she had a prenatal checkup not long ago, but because her blood pressure was a little low, Xin Qiuru asked her to go for another checkup in a few days.
Gong Yi happened to be accompanying her on that trip.
Seeing Hua Mi stride away with an air of indifference, Gong Yi hurriedly grabbed a raincoat, caught up with her, and draped the raincoat over her shoulders.
"Slow down, didn't you see the stones under your feet?"
With these constant reminders, Hua Mi led Gong Yi to Xin Qiuru's office.
Behind the sky-blue curtain, Gong Yi rubbed his hands nervously as he sat next to Hua Mi, seeing her for the first time as she rolled up her clothes, revealing her pregnant belly.
He was startled. "Your belly is already this big?"
Because the weather is too cold now, Hua Mi is wearing a lot of clothes. Over her thermal underwear is a loose coral fleece maternity dress, and over that, she is wearing a large raincoat.
This made her belly less noticeable.
Gong Yi's impression of Hua Mi's belly was still that night, the flatness beneath his lips.
So when Hua Mi rolled up her layers of clothes, the belly she revealed was a size larger than when Gong Yi first touched it.
Xin Qiuru, who was looking at the ultrasound image nearby, glanced at Gong Yi and explained:
"After all, there are two babies, so the belly will be a little bigger than a normal three-month pregnant belly. It's okay, as long as you don't eat too much and make the baby grow too big, it's still within the normal range."
"You can't eat too much, right?"
Before Hua Mi could even ask, Gong Yi nervously blurted out, "..."
"My two daughters, if they don't eat that much, won't they become malnourished?"
"In the early stages, nutrition should be the primary focus, but in the later stages, dietary restrictions should be maintained. Otherwise, performing a cesarean section in this environment would still be very risky."
Xin Qiuru is a proponent of natural childbirth, even though twins are rarely delivered naturally these days.
However, if possible, Xin Qiuru still supports natural childbirth.
Hua Mi is no ordinary person; things will go smoothly for her.
Then, Xin Qiuru's face hardened, and she began to lecture Gong Yi.
“You must treat sons and daughters equally, Commander Gong. You really need to change your biased thinking towards women.”
Gong Yi nodded and responded, holding Hua Mi's raincoat in his arms, looking as obedient as a student listening to a teacher's lecture.
Seeing this, Hua Mi, who was lying on the bed, couldn't help but chuckle.
She gave Xin Qiuru a wink.
"Let him hear the child's heartbeat."
Haha, another day of diligently writing.
