The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 225 - 223 Hua Mi, why don’t you go rob?

Hua Mi held her cellphone in her hand and gave Ye Rong a nod,

"I’ll take a look."

What’s happening? Just a few days ago, he had negotiated with Qin Zhen for the sale of an unlimited amount of wood to Xiang City for heating.

But today, Ye Rong told Hua Mi that Xiang City had refused to accept the wood.

All those thousands of pounds of wood, did Xiang City really not want them?

Hua Mi quickly teleported to the RV supermarket, and as soon as she stepped out of the warehouse, she ran into Ah Fu, who was hurrying towards her.

As soon as Ah Fu saw Hua Mi, he quickly said,

"Quick, there’s a fight over there."

Hua Mi frowned and followed Ah Fu to the right side of the RV supermarket.

The three trees had just been tossed into the warehouse of the RV supermarket and hadn’t yet started to be processed into wood.

However, Xiang City’s transporter had already landed in the clearing.

Ye Rong had already cleared a space next to the landing pad, set up the waterproof oilcloth and heaters, and quickly constructed a simple wood shaving factory.

The strong workers were already in place.

They were just waiting for the wood to be cut so it could be loaded onto the transporter and shipped to Xiang City.

By the time Ah Fu had brought Hua Mi over, Ma Zhixuan was arguing with Ye Rong.

To call it arguing, Ye Rong was actually flushed and debating something with Ma Zhixuan.

"What’s going on?"

Hua Mi walked over and stood by Ye Rong’s side.

Seeing Hua Mi arrive made Ye Rong angrily display a document she was holding and say,

"This Young Master Ma here says our wood is too expensive, claims it’s a resource everyone should work on together. Look, if we don’t drop our prices, he says he won’t buy."

When negotiating with Qin Zhen, they had agreed the wood would be weighed on-site, loaded onto the transporter, and Xiang City would pay.

It was meant to be a cash-on-delivery deal.

Qin Zhen had decided this to avoid Hua Mi imposing any limits.

With no limits, as long as Hua Mi’s Wood Shaving Factory had wood, she could keep selling.

But now, Ma Zhixuan had jumped out, claiming the wood was too expensive.

Not buying!

Hua Mi nodded with a smile,

"Alright, if he won’t buy, then he won’t buy. Ye Rong, continue as usual. All the wood we process will be sold to Commander Gong and Ke Minghong, along with the smokeless stoves."

She didn’t want to bother discussing it with Ma Zhixuan, seeing no point in arguing. Currently, she only had three trees, and the heating in Xiang City and B City was already barely sufficient.

If she didn’t see Qin Zhen as a person worth dealing with, Hua Mi wouldn’t have agreed to his request for an unlimited wood supply.

Now isn’t this perfect? It’s not that Hua Mi won’t sell wood to Xiang City, it’s that Ma Yongchun’s own younger brother, Ma Zhixuan, won’t buy.

As Hua Mi walked back with Ye Rong, she felt very satisfied with the current situation.

She saw that in this lifetime, the cold weather was at a manageable level, far from deadly.

But it might get worse.

In her previous life, they had gone from summer to extreme cold overnight, and many people, clad only in T-shirts and shorts, hadn’t adjusted in time and had simply frozen to death in the snow.

In this life, going from wearing light clothes to heavy snowfall, they had given survivors a few days to prepare.

So, Hua Mi hadn’t heard about anyone freezing to death yet.

Cotton and wood were now abundant, and if Xiang City and B City could achieve zero freezing deaths, it would be even more perfect.

Furthermore, selling wood to Gong Yi meant no bargaining from Hua Mi, Hua Mi would set the price and he would pay it.

It all was left to Hua Mi to manage the accounts.

Before the transport plane, Commander of the Garrison in C City, Li Wangsheng, looked at Ma Zhixuan with fiery eyes.

He approached Ma Zhixuan and whispered,

"Second Young Master Ma, you should probably discuss this matter with Mrs. Ma."

Today, he had just stabilized the transport plane when he received a message from Ma Yongchun, indicating that Ma Zhixuan wanted to challenge himself, volunteering to work with the Transport Team.

Truth be told, Ma Yongchun was very indulgent towards his younger brother. Their family only had these two brothers left, and Ma Yongchun was older than Ma Zhixuan.

Nominally brothers, but in reality, Ma Yongchun was more like a father figure, raising Ma Zhixuan.

Since the disaster struck, Ma Zhixuan, who was still in university, found himself with nothing to do.

In this environment, there was nowhere to study, and even if one could, it was unclear what job one could get after studying.

Thus, Ma Zhixuan had always been idle.

As Qin Zhen had said, Ma Yongchun sending his brother to Xiang City was really to let Ma Zhixuan meet a group of people and use his own skills and contacts to deepen the connection between Xiang City and C City.

Ma Zhixuan wanting to work made Ma Yongchun very happy.

He felt the joy of seeing his brother finally growing up.

But unexpectedly, on the first day Ma Zhixuan took office, he started to have opinions on the wholesale price of wood.

Wood priced at five dollars a kilogram felt expensive to him during this weather, and he wanted to push it down to one dollar a kilogram.

Pretentiously, he argued that Hua Mi’s resources were the result of everyone’s hard work, implying that Hua Mi’s goods were not legitimately acquired and earned too much, suggesting she should share the profits with everyone.

Li Wangsheng didn’t understand how the mind of this privileged young man worked; contracted prices were being forcibly reduced.

The wood had not yet been loaded onto the transport plane, and just like that, the deal was about to fall through, leaving Li Wangsheng extremely annoyed.

Ma Zhixuan glanced at Li Wangsheng,

"Who is in charge here, me or my sister-in-law? She is a pregnant woman who completely misunderstands the market. Five dollars a kilogram for wood? How is Hua Mi not committing robbery?"

Outside the city, there were trees everywhere. The earthquake had ground the land to pieces, and if the leadership was willing to mobilize the survivors to search, the trees outside the city could be gotten for free.

Ma Zhixuan just couldn’t understand, stubbornly believing that his sister-in-law was trying to curry favor with Hua Mi by purchasing her wood at a high price.

Li Wangsheng looked at Ma Zhixuan with a cold gaze,

"Second Young Master Ma might not realize, but our garrison camp is already as cold as an icehouse because we are too busy with rescue work. We simply don’t have the time to go out and search for trees extensively."

Besides, the trees need to be transported and cut.

It had been raining days ago, and recently it had been snowing continuously; many of the trees were soaked in jelly-like water.

The wood was all wet.

But the wood provided by Hua Mi was dry, and in such harsh weather, her wood hadn’t been soaked.

Ma Zhixuan, hands shoved in his pockets, frowned and matter-of-factly said to Li Wangsheng,

"You are a garrison, after all, supposed to be more capable of enduring hardship than ordinary survivors. Can’t you spare more time to do extra work?"

"Definitely don’t follow the example of the garrison under Gong Yi; those garrison members seem busy every day, not even sparing time or compassion to rescue a defenseless young woman."

"You should be collecting trees while rescuing survivors, meeting the survivors’ needs for warmth."

His assertions grew more and more absurd.

Li Wangsheng, with a square face turned livid with rage by Ma Zhixuan, looked at him incredulously,

"Does Second Young Master Ma consider our garrison as beasts of burden, or does he think our trips outside the city for rescue are like picnics, where one hand can carry a wounded person while the other can haul a log back?"
