Chapter 227: 225 Qin Zhen premature birth Chapter 227: 225 Qin Zhen premature birth Qin Zhen had not yet received a message from Ma Yongchun. The lawyer she left at the RV supermarket told her that there had been an issue with the receipt of wood. Ma Zhixuan forcefully told the C City legal team to modify the contract, unilaterally changing the price of the wood to 1 yuan per jin. Pregnant Qin Zhen stormed up to Ma Zhixuan and furiously said, “Who allowed you to make decisions on your own? Do you have any idea how hard I begged to secure this deal? Now you just decide to lower the price? You’re not yet strong enough to spread your wings.” Originally, Hua Mi was only prepared to sell 100,000 jin of wood to C City. It was because of Qin Zhen’s efforts and desperate attempts to curry favor with Hua Mi that she managed to negotiate for an unlimited quantity. And now, it was all ruined by a single statement from Ma Zhixuan. How could Qin Zhen not be angry? But Ma Zhixuan didn’t seem to care at all; he furrowed his brows and retorted, “Sister-in-law, you should be tougher. Business isn’t done this way. We pay money; C City isn’t short on money either. Why must we accept whatever price Hua Mi states?” Before the world order underwent a sudden change, C City’s annual GDP ranked first among all cities. Statistically, C City had the highest number of wealthy individuals as well. So why should C City grovel? They had money, so why couldn’t they be more assertive? Turning to Li Wangsheng, Ma Zhixuan said angrily, “It’s always some people who cause trouble at times like these. Hua Mi can only be so arrogant because these people keep feeding her resources.” From his perspective, it seemed like Hua Mi’s relationship with Zhou Cheng and Li Wangsheng wasn’t clean. Qin Zhen was in such rage that pain shot through her abdomen. Pointing at Ma Zhixuan, she demanded, “Leave, get back to C City now, no, someone like you would cause trouble for your brother wherever you go. Just get out!” At that moment, Ah Fu turned around and walked back to Li Wangsheng, “Miss Hua agreed to your exchange terms, but she doesn’t have more wood available for now. She can only wholesale 10,000 jin to the C City Garrison at the unchanged price of 5 yuan per jin.” “In a few days, we’ll see how things are. We need to prioritize the Garrisons in Xiang City, B City, and A City.” Gong Yi had under his command the Garrisons from three cities, totaling over 5000 people with approximately a thousand posts that needed heating. Beyond that, she also had to sell to survivors. Only the leftover wood could be sold to the C City Garrison. So the C City Garrison had to wait, even if they had several hundred thousand tons of fabric; they still had to wait. Ma Zhixuan protested, “This is highway robbery; I do not agree.” Li Wangsheng glanced at Ma Zhixuan and said with a sneer, “The fabric found by the C City Garrison is to prevent us from freezing to death. Commander Zhou agrees.” Then, Li Wangsheng passed a cigarette to Ah Fu and lowered his stance, saying, “Commander Zhou said, we’ll bring all our fabric to Xiang City and store it at Sister Hua’s place. Once Sister Hua has enough wood, she can just call us to pick it up.” “Just make sure Sister Hua gives face to Commander Gong and doesn’t let the C City Garrison freeze to death.” At this stage, those who controlled the materials controlled the world. How much stock was available dictated how much could be distributed, and no one else had any say over these quantities. Being able to distribute even a little was a boon. If Sister Hua became too pressed and refused to distribute even a log, what could anyone do? Frantic, Qin Zhen walked over to Li Wangsheng and said, “Is there any way to renegotiate this batch of fabric? I mean, we might be able to trade some cotton with Ah Mi; she has recently acquired cotton.” This was the latest information Qin Zhen had obtained. If Xiang City could secure both fabric and cotton, the issue of winter clothing could be resolved. By then, if the issue of getting wood for heating could be sorted out, the cold winter in Xiang City could be a bit warmer. However, from what she understood of Li Wangsheng’s intentions, he wanted to use all the fabric to exchange for firewood for the garrison. This had completely disrupted the plan she and Ma Yongchun had made, with hundreds of thousands of tons of fabric being traded for firewood. She felt rather thrown off her calculations. Li Wangsheng, however, spoke with a firm tone, “Mrs. Ma, I’m just following orders. I am part of the garrison, not one of your administrative managers. Whatever Commander Zhou tells me to do, that’s what I’ll do.” Qin Zhen grew increasingly anxious, and just at this moment, she started experiencing severe pain in her stomach. Ma Zhixuan also yelled at Li Wangsheng and Qin Zhen, “The way you both suck up to Hua Mi with those hideous faces is utterly repulsive, utterly repulsive!” “Why can’t you just refuse outright? If we’re not selling, then we’re not selling. We in Xiang City have money...” Without a glance, Qin Zhen snatched a stack of documents from the lawyer beside her and hurled it at Ma Zhixuan. Instinctively, Ma Zhixuan reached out and pushed forcefully against Qin Zhen’s belly, sending her tumbling down to the ground. Feeling warmth spread beneath her, she screamed at Ma Zhixuan in a breakdown, “I said to back off! Didn’t you hear me? You’re nothing but a liability that causes more harm than good.” “Phone, give me a phone. I need to call Ma Yongchun. If you don’t get this man out of here, I’ll divorce him, ah... ” She couldn’t bear the pain, clutching her large belly, her face pale, and, gasping for breath, she pointed at Ma Zhixuan, ready to curse again. Ah Fu and Li Wangsheng looked down at her in immediate shock, “Mrs. Ma...” “Mrs. Ma, there’s so much blood beneath you... Mrs. Ma...” Ma Zhixuan gasped in shock, “Sister-in-law, sister-in-law... it was an accident, sister-in-law...” Filled with anger and urgency, Qin Zhen was already feeling uncomfortably in her stomach on her way here. Being pushed to the ground by Ma Zhixuan, she realized her waters had broken. In front of the Wood Shaving Factory and the transport vehicles, chaos had erupted. Ye Rong rushed over, took one look, and was startled. She immediately began pounding on Ah Fu, “Hurry and get her to the emergency area, what are you standing around for?” Even though Xiang City now had enough clout to dominate others, Qin Zhen was still the wife of the city’s administrative Commander. Moreover, Qin Zhen was very skilled at managing relationships. She always took great care to maintain interpersonal connections, frequently sending thoughtful, though not expensive, gifts to Da Fu and Xiao Fu. The Fu family had a favorable impression of Qin Zhen. A bunch of people clumsily lifted Qin Zhen and rushed her to the emergency area. The news soon reached Hua Mi. There she was, in her luxurious double-expansion roof RV, peeling an apple, when Xiao Fu brought the news. She paused, “Qin Zhen’s having a premature birth? How far along was her baby?” As she spoke, she turned to look outside the window, where flurries of goose feather-like heavy snow were falling from the sky. The snow on the ground was getting deeper, and soon, the City Clearance Team would be busy clearing it again. In such extreme weather, could Qin Zhen’s prematurely born child survive?
