Perhaps Gong Yi, as a father, is not as reliable as Hua Mi imagined.
After angrily hanging up on Gong Yi, Hua Mi felt she didn't really want to talk to him for the time being.
She walked to the back of the RV supermarket's warehouse, took out all 53 robot vacuum cleaners she had collected when she last cleaned the small recycling station, and placed them in the RV parking area.
Let them clean this area.
The snow has been falling heavily lately, and these robot vacuums can eat snow.
Then she handed 53 trash cans to Ye Rong, instructing Ye Rong to place them randomly along the roadside in the RV area.
Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to walk around in the RV parking area or litter.
The trash must be put in the trash can.
Finally, Hua Mi took out the trash can that had been swiped after the upgrade to a medium-sized recycling station.
This trash can is just like the fixed trash cans that used to be on the street. It has two fixed feet on the side, and it even comes with large screws for Hua Mi to fix it in place.
Hua Mi immediately called A Fu over and asked her to carry the half-person-high trash can out and fix it to the side of the street.
After doing all this, Hua Mi looked at her Level 24 Warehouse No. 1, and the number of [Energy Orbs] inside was increasing rapidly.
Hua Mi no longer needs to collect the trash herself.
Satisfied, she turned off the control panel and was about to walk back when she heard voices coming from Qin Zhen's RV.
Qin Zhen is currently in her postpartum period and will not leave the warm RV unless absolutely necessary.
The people surrounding her RV were wearing thick down jackets, and judging from their workmanship and style, they were the kind of high-end brand-name items that existed before the disaster.
Hua Mi overheard that these people were administrators in City C, but they weren't Qin Zhen's people; they were Ma Yongchun's people.
They wanted to persuade Qin Zhen to answer Ma Yongchun's call and to find a way to either get back the supplies that Ma Zhixuan had bought or to find Hua Mi to get a refund.
Hua Mi, supporting her aching back, walked over and said to the men...
"Your wife is currently in postpartum confinement. In this kind of situation, consider it a lesson learned and don't dwell on it any further."
Even if Qin Zhen came to plead with her, Hua Mi would not return the money to City C, nor would she return the supplies to City C.
Even if Ma Yongchun's men pressured Qin Zhen, Hua Mi would not agree.
Once something goes into her pocket, don't expect her to take it out.
Ma Yongchun's group of administrators looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, someone stepped forward and said:
"Mrs. Gong, isn't there even the slightest room for maneuver in this matter? Your firm stance is putting us in a very difficult position."
Hua Mi raised an eyebrow, stood in the snow, tilted her head, and asked.
"So what if it's difficult for you? It's not difficult for me."
It's strange. She earns her money through real transactions, without cheating or swindling anyone.
Moreover, Cao Feng didn't confiscate Ma Zhixuan's supplies for no reason. It was because Ma Zhixuan's team was involved in a fight in Xiangcheng that his team's supplies were confiscated.
This wasn't Cao Feng acting recklessly and stealing Ma Zhixuan's supplies, was it?
If everyone formed a gang and could engage in organized crime in Xiangcheng, disregarding garrison regulations and rules, and resorting to violence at the slightest provocation, Xiangcheng would have long since descended into chaos.
The other administrators all frowned, and one of them took a deep breath, seemingly quite troubled by Hua Mi's stubbornness.
"Mrs. Gong, this world is already difficult enough. There are millions of survivors in City C. Could you please not make things difficult for us for the sake of these survivors?"
Hua Mi sneered and pointed to a sign next to her, which read: "Small business, no credit, cash on delivery, no refunds."
"Am I the one making things difficult for you? Wasn't this all caused by your Second Young Master Ma? It's not me making things difficult for you now, it's you making things difficult for me, and for the rules and order of Xiangcheng."
Today, Gong Yi's garrison can return the supplies to City C, but tomorrow countless teams will break the rules and use all their connections to demand the return of the supplies that were withheld from them.
Over time, rules and order ceased to exist in Xiangcheng, because people didn't have to pay any price; they could cause trouble in Xiangcheng without incurring any consequences.
As Ma Yongchun's managers continued to plead with him, Qin Zhen's RV door was opened behind them.
Qin Zhen was dressed warmly, in a long, thick, silver-white down jacket. She spoke to the administrators...
“You don’t need to make things difficult for Ami. This matter has to be resolved. Where is Ma Yongchun now? I’ll go find him.”
Hua Mi stood in the snow, several robot vacuums sweeping past her feet, clearing away the thin layer of snow from the open space.
She looked at Qin Zhen, whose face held a solemn and sorrowful expression, like a warrior cutting off his own arm.
After Qin Zhen and the other administrators left, Ye Rong hurriedly came to Hua Mi's side and asked:
"Qin Zhen just left the city like that, won't she be in danger?"
Hua Mi frowned slightly, feeling a surge of irritation in her heart.
She took out her phone and called Cao Feng, then said to Ye Rong,
"Ma Yongchun is a real bastard. In this heavy snow, his wife is in postpartum confinement, and he still forced her to leave the city."
"I'll go take a look."
Outside the city, in a large tent, Ma Zhixuan walked dejectedly to Ma Yongchun's side and sat down.
"Brother, isn't your wife going too far? Why won't she help at all? It's such a waste to throw away so many supplies."
Ma Yongchun glared at Ma Zhixuan, turning his head sharply. Did he really know there was a lot of supplies? Forget the useless mechanical pencils and calligraphy practice books; just the sheer amount of fruit and pickled fish alone must have cost C City a fortune.
He took out his phone and checked the time.
"When your sister-in-law comes out in a little while, you should apologize to her properly and ask for her forgiveness. You're all family, there's no need to ruin things like this."
"Sigh, it's so cold. Her health isn't good to begin with. If I could enter Xiangcheng, I would never have agreed to let her leave the city."
As he spoke, Qin Zhen's car had already left the city gate and arrived outside the tent.
As Ma Yongchun got up to greet him, he received a phone call, then his face suddenly turned ashen. Looking at Qin Zhen as she entered the tent, he said awkwardly:
"Ah Zhen, are we really going to end up like this? Are you trying to feed the entire City of C to Gong Yi and Hua Mi?"
He received a message from the administrator of City C that Qin Zhen had given all 1 million tons of fabric from City C's war reserve warehouse to Hua Mi and entrusted Zhou Cheng to transport it to Xiangcheng.
Ma Yongchun didn't get involved in this matter. It wasn't until Zhou Cheng's supply trucks had already hauled the fabric out of the C City supply warehouse that Ma Yongchun's people realized what was happening.
Not only that, Qin Zhen also stopped purchasing the remaining supplies from Hua Mi.
Instead, the workforce from City C was dispatched to the Xiang-C Expressway in an effort to clear the expressway as quickly as possible.
Qin Zhen's actions were undoubtedly a betrayal of Ma Yongchun.
Today I took my little sheep to the aquarium.
