[Gong Yi: Answer the phone, let's clear things up.]
[Gong Yi: You can't be so unreasonable. I was also involved in the child's upbringing, I made contributions too. Just let me see him for a moment.]
Seeing that he didn't seem to want children, Hua Mi thought for a moment, took out the most recent ultrasound report, took a picture of it, and sent it to Gong Yi.
Gong Yi stopped replying to messages.
Hua Mi was busy making phone calls to the contractor again.
"You only have 500 people in your team?"
Sister Hua felt underestimated. She thought the contractor probably didn't know how much money she could earn every day.
In this world, she made money only a tiny bit faster than the world's richest man before the disaster struck.
So what's a monthly salary of 5 million? She can afford a monthly salary of 50 million.
Hua Mi sighed.
"Bao'er, you're so ignorant. There are only 500 people, and you're already making such a fuss."
"It's not just the clearing team; your construction team also needs to speed things up and do more infrastructure. You have to raise my wall by another ten meters!"
"If you are really short-handed, then recruit more people. As long as they are honest and have clean hands, bring them into our infrastructure team."
In fact, Hua Mi felt that the 2-meter wall outside the Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket was far too low.
It needs to be kept getting higher.
When mutated animals appear in the future, even a 10-meter wall will be too short.
Hua Mi, having changed into harem pants and put on sterile boots, arrived at the supermarket's backyard.
During this period, Gong Yi became much quieter, without making any phone calls or sending any text messages.
Hua Mi waited for Gong Yi's reaction after he saw the ultrasound report.
Her supermarket's backyard was like an orchard, with fruit trees standing tall amidst the pervasive black mist, covered in fresh fruit.
Hua Mi pondered how to make use of her newly acquired 10 square meters of black soil.
Because on 1 square meter, only one type of fruit is planted, and as the root system of this type of fruit grows stronger, the fruit trees will grow more and more luxuriantly.
The 1-square-meter trees can't be placed so close together, otherwise the fruit trees would fight with each other.
Therefore, these magical black soils have developed their own sparsity.
As the fruit trees on your land grow larger over time, the gaps between 1 square meters of black soil automatically widen.
So the dozens of square blocks of black soil that were originally close together are now scattered haphazardly in Hua Mi's backyard, like crooked teeth.
Especially next to that enormous orange tree, there was no darkness at all.
All the black soil was pushed aside by the giant orange trees.
Hua Mi was a bit troubled. She could only find a vacant lot in the front yard and settle 10 square meters of black soil to plant the following: citrus, plum, bayberry, mulberry, tea tree, jute, rubber tree, camphor tree, large-leaved linden, and Ganoderma lucidum.
She planted all the seeds she could find, including some tree seeds.
We can't just let the land lie fallow.
Planting trees is good, because you can use the wood to build houses later.
After planting the trees, Hua Mi received a call from Qin Zhen.
In human society, there is a type of social interaction called "wife social interaction".
Qin Zhen stayed in Xiangcheng not only to rest during her pregnancy, but also to maintain a good relationship with Hua Mi.
From Zhou Cheng, the C City management commander and his wife learned that Hua Mi was pregnant with Gong Yi's child.
The two are definitely an official couple.
Before leaving Xiangcheng, Ma Yongchun spent 200,000 yuan at the RV supermarket to buy two universal signal connectors.
To make it easier for him to communicate with his wife, and also to make it easier for his wife to engage in "wife diplomacy".
Qin Zhen greeted Hua Mi warmly over the phone.
"My husband and Commander Zhou have gone back to help the survivors in City C, leaving me here in Xiangcheng."
"Thank you for your generosity, Mrs. Gong."
"Mrs. Gong, I've found a place to stay in Xiangcheng and also contacted a group of ladies in our City C. Their husbands are all prominent figures in City C."
"Upon learning that Mrs. Gong and I know each other, everyone wants to meet her. Mrs. Gong, would you like to arrange a game of mahjong?"
Playing mahjong?
Sorry, Hua Mi doesn't know how!
Hua Mi, who has lived two lifetimes, doesn't feel guilty at all for not knowing how to play mahjong.
In her mind, this was a frivolous and wasteful activity, and she not only wouldn't participate, but also had no interest in doing so.
So Hua Mi politely declined Qin Zhen's invitation and sincerely reminded him of something.
“You don’t need to call me Mrs. Gong, because I have no relationship with Gong Yi. I am neither his wife, nor his girlfriend, nor his lover.”
"To be precise, I'm just a supplier who gets what he needs from Boss Gong."
For adults, having sex isn't some heinous crime, is it?
Originally, she and Gong Yi had not reached a consensus on this matter, but now the impact has expanded further, reaching the circle of wealthy ladies in City C.
Hua Mi could imagine what those wives in the social circle were saying about her.
Then she would have even less interest in wasting her time and energy on socializing as a lady.
Qin Zhen paused on the other end of the phone, shocked by Hua Mi's honesty.
"Miss Hua, you're joking. You two already have a child, and Commander Gong only has you as his woman."
She was a pampered woman living in the upper echelons of society.
Therefore, Qin Zhen couldn't quite understand Hua Mi's thoughts. At this point in time, women should seek a safe haven to ensure their survival.
Just like her, if Qin Zhen's man wasn't Ma Yongchun, or the commander-in-chief of City C, she would probably be living a miserable life like the survivors of City C, struggling to make ends meet every day.
It was precisely because of Ma Yongchun's existence that Qin Zhen had the time and energy to engage in social activities with ladies in Xiangcheng.
They can still live a life of luxury and comfort.
"So what if you have kids?"
Before hanging up Qin Zhen's call, Hua Mi spoke slowly,
“From the very beginning, I never intended to use the child to tie Commander Gong down. He is him, and I am me. It’s not like I can’t afford to raise the child, so why do I have to find a man to help me raise it?”
"I'm not saying this to target Mrs. Ma, it's just that I've always been this way. If I rely on a mountain, it will crumble; if I rely on the sea, it will dry up; if I rely on a person, they will run away. So I've always relied on myself."
“I don’t need to use children to bind a man’s heart, nor do I need children to support me in the future, nor do I need a man to help improve my children’s material living conditions.”
"I want children simply so that my heart won't be so lonely, and so that on this long journey, I can have a blood relative that I can think of while I'm fighting."
"For their sake, I have to live well, right?"
I have no comments.
