Chapter 220: 218 I’m not someone who can’t function without a man (asking for monthly votes)

Everyone inside and outside the RV supermarket was startled.

Hua Mi’s drooping eyelids snapped open as she quickly ran down from the RV.

Snowflakes were swirling around, already accumulating a thin layer on the ground.

In the not-too-distant clearing, Lu Shubo was holding onto Yu Mengmeng’s hand, speaking excitedly about something.

Yu Mengmeng couldn’t break free, while her two children, Da Fu and Xiao Fu, were protecting her, preventing Lu Shubo from clumsily hitting Yu Mengmeng’s belly.

Ye Rong gave Ah Fu a look, and he picked up a broom that was not far away.

The surrounding Garrison was also watching Lu Shubo closely.

Lu Shubo was utterly oblivious to the fact that he had become the center of everyone’s attention.

He was just holding onto Yu Mengmeng’s hand, trying to force an explanation of something.

Hua Mi approached and said coldly,

"Let go."

At the sight of Hua Mi, Lu Shubo released his grip, his expression clearly defiant,

"I’m talking to my wife. I’m not breaking any law, am I?"

In the snowy field, Hua Mi looked at Yu Mengmeng, who was wearing a large down jacket, but even so, it couldn’t hide her huge belly.

At that moment, Yu Mengmeng’s eyes were red with unshed tears. As soon as she broke free of Lu Shubo’s grip, she hastened backwards and said to him,

"I can’t make decisions on this matter, and I can’t promise you anything."

Her husband had sought her out for the first time in months and had just said a lot to her.

He said he was struggling these days, installing light tubes in the streets and alleys of Xiang City with his physical strength, rain or shine.

Now that it had begun to snow and the weather had grown cold, the gear needed for winter was expensive, making life even tougher.

Just looking at the thin clothes he was wearing made it obvious.

He said he hadn’t wanted the child before because he felt they couldn’t support it, but now that Yu Mengmeng was working with Hua Mi and had plenty of money at hand in a better environment, he also wanted to come work at the RV supermarket.

Then, they could lead a good life like Ah Fu’s family, altogether and content.

Hearing these words from Lu Shubo’s mouth, Yu Mengmeng was actually quite moved. Ah Fu’s family, all together and happy, truly envied her.

But Yu Mengmeng also had a premonition that if she really helped her husband find a job, she might even lose her own.

Hua Mi was generous, but she wasn’t foolish.

Not just anyone was welcome to join her, especially someone like Lu Shubo, who was obviously branded as a scoundrel.

In Hua Mi’s circle, nobody would like him.

Lu Shubo stepped forward, clenching his fists, his face full of mockery,

"Yu Mengmeng, now that you’ve struck it rich, doesn’t it just prove the saying ’A couple is like birds sharing the same woods, but they fly their separate ways when disaster strikes’?"

He said this while looking toward Hua Mi,

"Yu Mengmeng, you weren’t like this before."

That was a veiled accusation that Hua Mi had led his wife astray.

Hua Mi stood in front of Yu Mengmeng, pointing in the direction he should leave,

"If you have any issues, go to the emergency area to find a lawyer, or have our lawyer here talk with you, but don’t make a scene here right now."

She still had business to run here. The moment Lu Shubo arrived, he started arguing with Yu Mengmeng — this place wasn’t his home.

In the snow, Lu Shubo glared at Hua Mi, his lips moving. Remembering he still needed to ask Hua Mi for a job, he decided not to persist any further.

She left reluctantly, unwilling to give up.

"Yu Mengmeng, I’ll continue to look for you," he said. "We, as a couple, will have a good talk when the time comes."

No sooner had he left than Yu Mengmeng’s tears started falling like rain.

Ye Rong hurried over and, together with Hua Mi, helped her onto the RV.

"My husband came to find me, hoping to work in the RV supermarket."

"It’s not like I can’t go on without a man! He forced me to get an abortion despite my rare blood type and then ignored me for months. What am I still holding on for?"

"Though a perfect family is enviable, he’s too selfish," she said. "I can’t guarantee what kind of things a man like that would do if he worked here."

Yu Mengmeng cried heartbrokenly, unable to help but feel the pain.

"During this time, he has never once asked about the child, nor inquired about my health," she bemoaned.

Hua Mi glanced at Ye Rong, who empathized with Yu Mengmeng and handed her a tissue.

Ever since Yu Mengmeng had a falling-out with her husband at Xin Qiuru’s office door, her husband hadn’t shown up again.

And now, to see Yu Mengmeng’s husband again, he actually wanted to use her connections to work at Hua Mi’s supermarket.

Everyone knew that Hua Mi’s supermarket was a hot commodity.

Every day, the supermarket’s entrance was bustling with traffic, with goods coming in and out in large quantities.

Ke Minghong had to designate a separate area to keep the supermarket’s channel and emergency center’s access clear.

Otherwise, if the roads got blocked, it could severely delay rescue efforts.

So currently, half of this large area is dedicated to the emergency center, and the other half is the RV supermarket’s cargo area.

To say that the RV supermarket wasn’t short-staffed would be dishonest, but...

Hua Mi waited for Yu Mengmeng to stop crying and calm down, then she smiled,

"You’re quite aware of your situation. Keep it up," she advised. "Actually, if necessary, you can also go to the emergency center to find a lawyer and have your husband compensate you with a large sum of money. This has become a new regulation in Xiang City."

Though Yu Mengmeng wasn’t doing badly now, her husband had truly met the criteria of a scumbag.

Just a moment ago, Qin Zhen had sent Hua Mi a message, seriously proposing they collaborate to find some jerks to clear the Xiang C Highway.

For this purpose, Qin Zhen was very sincere. C City could provide a group of powerful lawyers and judges to discuss and formulate comprehensive legal regulations with the lawyers in Xiang City responsible for this matter.

Hua Mi could tell Qin Zhen was very eager to mend the relationship between Xiang City and C City and was also taking their relationship with her very seriously.

Thus, Qin Zhen treated this matter as a significant one.

Considering Yu Mengmeng’s current situation, it wouldn’t hurt to let these lawyers practice on her case.

Yu Mengmeng hesitated, then asked,

"Can I really get the money? But he can’t even afford to buy warm clothes right now. Where will he get the money to compensate me?"

Hua Mi said with a smile,

"Then let him clear the Xiang C Highway. Isn’t he looking for a job? He can work there and get a thick padded jacket in the process."

The reformed fallen women, using scraps of fabric to sew thick jackets, would also provide these to the workers fixing the lights in Xiang City.

But the jacket factory had only just been established, and the first batch of jackets made by the reformed women were for themselves before they could supply anyone else.

So for the time being, the jackets hadn’t been distributed to the units under Hua Mi’s charge.

But if Lu Shubo wasn’t content with the job he was doing, he could switch.

Installing lights in the streets and alleys of Xiang City was a bit too comfortable. Clearing traffic routes would better strengthen Lu Shubo’s physique.

Hua Mi had Lu Shubo’s best interests at heart.
