The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 221: Do you want wood number 219?
Chapter 221: Do you want wood number 219?
Qin Zhen arrived quickly; although she was heavily pregnant, she worked with remarkable efficiency.
When she got to the RV supermarket, she brought with her a team of lawyers.
Yes, an entire team of lawyers, looking to be about a dozen in total.
Hua Mi and the friends at the RV supermarket were all stunned.
"I’ve heard about Mengmeng’s situation, and I’m pretty angry about it."
As Qin Zhen spoke, she sat down and handed over several bags of baby clothes, stuffed a pile into Yu Mengmeng’s arms and then another pile into Hua Mi’s,
"I immediately contacted our fellow townsmen’s association in C city; they were very enthusiastic, offering strategies and helping to find these lawyers."
Before Hua Mi could say anything, Qin Zhen reached out and took Yu Mengmeng’s hand,
"We’re all women, and we’re all pregnant during this critical time; don’t be afraid. We will definitely win this lawsuit, and everyone will help you."
The lawyers were eager to get started; they wore thick clothes that Qin Zhen had found for them at the last minute, their cheeks red and raw from the cold.
Some of their fingers were red and swollen, frostbites they had sustained over the past few days.
Southern cities had never experienced cold like this before, many people simply did not own thick clothes.
In the south, the coldest part of winter usually just meant adding a sweater or perhaps a jacket.
So it was evident how many people could be harmed by this snowy weather.
Thankfully, because Xiang City and B City were well-supplied with resources, many survivors would trade extra or second-hand goods they didn’t need in exchange for food.
Quite a few survivors from northern cities brought thick clothing when they came to Xiang City and B City.
Hence, in Xiang City and B City, as long as you had money, you could still buy warm coats.
Yu Mengmeng felt greatly reassured and expressed her gratitude to the lawyers as she discussed her demands.
Actually, Yu Mengmeng’s demands were quite simple: she wanted a sum of money, a once-and-for-all settlement, and to have nothing more to do with her husband ever again.
The decision to have the child had been made before the disaster struck, and it was Lu Shubo who wanted the child.
At that time, Yu Mengmeng had hesitated because she had a rare blood type, and pregnancy and childbirth were risky for her.
Moreover, if she had another child with that same rare blood type, that child would have to endure the same blood-related fears she did.
But Lu Shubo didn’t care; he wanted a child and would not wear protection during sex. He also forcibly prevented Yu Mengmeng from taking emergency contraception.
It should have been a happy situation: Lu Shubo got what he wanted, and although Yu Mengmeng had her worries, she was also looking forward to the child’s arrival.
But the child had not been conceived for many months before the world turned into the hellish state it was now, and everything collapsed.
Lu Shubo no longer wanted the child, which could be understood; to him, a child was just like a pencil mark, drawn on when desired and erased when not.
To him, it was just a matter of thought, after all.
What’s the big deal about a woman getting pregnant? Regardless of the size of the child or whether the woman’s body was suited for it, if you don’t want it, just get rid of it.
It doesn’t hurt a bit.
But who says Yu Mengmeng must be the only one to bear all the suffering?
If this was the reasoning of the ages, from now on it would be no longer.
The lawyers, full of vigor, began a professional discussion.
It wasn’t long before the Xiang City lawyers and judges found by Ke Minghong also arrived.
Hua Mi specially designated twenty RVs for these individuals, allowing the judges and lawyers to live in these vehicles from then on.
If they had immediate family members, they could also bring them along to live together.
Lu Shubo was completely cornered by these top legal talents from before the disaster.
He had absolutely no room to fight back; definitions for a scumbag were quickly set by the talents, and an arrest warrant for Lu Shubo was issued.
Either compensate Yu Mengmeng with a total of 3 million for pregnancy care, childbirth expenses, confinement, child-raising, education, and living expenses, or go clear the Xiang C Highway.
Watching as the arrest warrant was taken away by Cao Feng, Hua Mi and Qin Zhen, sitting in another RV, looked at each other and smiled.
Hua Mi stretched with a yawn,
"Finally, a big issue has been resolved."
Qin Zhen, who was sitting across from her, laughed in agreement,
"Yeah, I’ve disliked those jerks for a while now; now we can take care of them openly, which is great."
Pausing, she then looked at Hua Mi with an apologetic face,
"Ah Mi, about the matter with Ma Zhixuan..."
Hua Mi raised her hand, cutting off what Qin Zhen was about to say,
"I’ve said before, as long as I can make money, it’s fine. The person Ma Zhixuan won’t affect my earnings."
In other words, as long as Qin Zhen came to her to buy supplies, she would sell them.
Qin Zhen smiled happily and immediately handed Hua Mi a large stack of supply lists.
Hua Mi took them and read,
"Mineral water, waterproof oilcloth, breathing machines, various medical supplies, various rescue equipment, various fruits—you also want to custom-order straw matting crafted into rope 10,000 meters, and cotton-padded jackets 10,000 pieces..."
Reading to the end, Hua Mi looked up and said to Qin Zhen,
"I can supply 10,000 meters of rope for you, but as for the cotton-padded jackets, you know that I’m short on them too, so probably not."
Without Hua Mi’s reminder, many people had realized what these extreme weather conditions might turn into; no one knew what to expect.
The South had never experienced such cold weather; who knew if it would get colder or hotter next?
In such a scenario, a competent management must prepare for the worst, stocking up on winter jackets to ensure that survivors could continue to persevere.
Hua Mi only had one cotton jacket manufacturing workshop, and it wasn’t even built yet.
She was building the workshop while simultaneously starting production on the jackets.
Currently, every jacket produced was being consumed internally, depleting the stock.
Given this situation, even her own people hadn’t achieved one jacket per person.
She had already issued five cashmere thermal undershirts to each of her people and the garrison, keeping 1,000 for herself and selling all the rest.
By the end of the morning, they were all sold out.
The same went for the coral fleece four-piece sets.
This indicated just how desperate the market demand was for warming equipment.
Qin Zhen frowned, her finely sculpted eyebrows knitting together,
"What do we do then? Do you have any alternative warming items that you can sell us in C City?"
Hua Mi thought for a moment when she suddenly received two notifications,

"Do you need wood?"
Hua Mi suddenly asked Qin Zhen.
