After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: It’s Over, Rich Lady Becomes a Broke Lady
Ye Lingfeng walked over without beating around the bush and said directly, “I’ll give you one billion, sell me the bracelet.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Lie raised an eyebrow, lightly parted his thin lips, and said, “Not for sale.”

After speaking, he ignored him and walked away without looking back.

“Dad, I think we can sell it,” Zhouzhou’s ears perked up, and she instantly became obsessed with wealth. She tugged at his ear and said, “We spent fifty million, and the Sharp Tongue Uncle wants to buy it for one billion. We’ll earn fifty million in an instant.”

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled even more.

Qin Lie looked at her serious calculation and chuckled, saying, “This one is not for sale, no matter the price.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou felt puzzled and asked, “Dad, do you like this bracelet so much?”

Qin Lie wanted to explain, but he felt that it was hard to make it clear, so he casually nodded and said, “Mm.”

Oh, I see.

Zhouzhou changed the topic, sounding a bit regretful as she sighed, “Then we won’t sell it?”

“Don’t you feel sorry for the money?”

“I do, but Dad likes it.” Zhouzhou hugged his neck, wiggled her little feet, took out the Golden Pixiu from her bag, touched it, and confidently patted her chest, saying, “I’m sure I can earn back this money!”

Second Elder Brother said that the Perfect Score Talisman is selling like crazy now, reaching a price of three hundred thousand. There are so many students in their school, and there will be many people buying it in the future. We’ll quickly earn back the fifty million.

Besides, she still had Second Elder Brother as her agent, so she would definitely earn a lot of money.

She was certain.

While thinking about it, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Qin family’s house. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Qin Er carrying a school bag on his shoulder and holding a cup in his hand. He was wearing old clothes that seemed to be pulled from somewhere, with patches sewn on them. He looked like someone who was about to beg for money.

Zhouzhou was shocked and hurriedly ran over to ask, “Second Elder Brother, what happened to you?”

Upon seeing her, Qin Er’s eyes immediately turned red, and his voice trembled with a tearful tone, “Zhouzhou, I’m sorry, we’ve gone bankrupt!”

What?

Zhouzhou’s mind went blank as she stared at the golden light slowly dissipating from his body. Overwhelmed with sorrow, she burst into tears.

Her money was gone!

The little girl was extremely heartbroken. She turned her head, sat on Qin Lie’s foot, and hugged his leg, crying while wiping her tears.

Seeing this, Qin Lie furrowed his brows slightly, bent down, picked her up, and looked at his second nephew, who was crying as if he had lost his parents. He asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”

Before Qin Er could speak, Guan Jinghua, who was inside, heard the commotion and called out, “Zhouzhou is back? Come in for a moment.”

Zhouzhou also wanted to know what had happened and how she had lost her money. She hurriedly patted Qin Lie’s shoulder, pointed inside, and said, “Let’s go in.”

Qin Lie comfortingly squeezed her hand, took a step forward, and glanced at Qin Er, “You come in too.”

Qin Er didn’t want to go in, but he didn’t dare disobey him. He could only follow behind, dejectedly.

After Zhouzhou entered, she realized that there was a stranger sitting in the room. She was stunned, not understanding what was going on, and looked at Guan Jinghua in confusion, “Second Elder Aunt?”

Guan Jinghua was also a police officer and usually had a stern face. But at this moment, looking at Zhouzhou, she tried hard to soften her expression and asked gently, “Zhouzhou, Second Elder Aunt wants to ask you, did you draw a talisman for your Second Elder Brother?”

“Yes,” Zhouzhou nodded, tilting her head and said, “We sell talismans for money. Second Elder Brother and I are doing business together. We plan to expand our business overseas in the future!”

Second Elder Brother said that as long as you’re a student, you need the Perfect Score Talisman, not just one. The market is huge. After we start a company, she’ll lie on a mountain of gold and count money.

But now, how did they suddenly go bankrupt?

At this thought, Zhouzhou wrinkled her nose and almost cried again.

Guan Jinghua and Qin Xu exchanged a glance. Alright, the case was solved. It seemed that these two little fellows were behind it.

Qin Lie also caught onto the meaning and sat on the sofa with Zhouzhou in his arms. “What happened? Is it related to the talismans Zhouzhou drew?”

Judging from the current situation, it must be Qin Er who caused trouble at school, but what did it have to do with Zhouzhou, who hadn’t even started school yet? The only possibility could be related to the talismans Zhouzhou drew.

Guan Jinghua nodded, rubbed her forehead, and said with a headache, “The two kids were selling Perfect Score Talismans, which are supposed to help people achieve Perfect Score Talismans in exams.”

That’s right!

Zhouzhou proudly puffed up her little chest and added, “I researched and created them myself!”

She was amazing indeed.

Hearing this, Qin Lie understood what was going on. He looked at the little girl, who didn’t realize the seriousness of the situation, and helplessly rubbed his forehead. She was such a silly child.

Guan Jinghua also felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. At first, when she heard about this from the teacher, she thought it was absurd. She couldn’t believe such a thing existed in the world. But then Qin Xu pulled her aside and told her about Zhouzhou’s involvement, and that’s when she learned that her niece actually had this ability.

Now, even she had to admit it. The truth was right in front of her, and she couldn’t deny it.

The head teacher on the side spoke, “Qin Er’s mother, look at the situation now…”

She paused, feeling a bit hesitant, and continued, “It’s also our negligence. We didn’t discover it in time. Now the parents have come to the school, accusing Qin Er of fraud and demanding a refund.”

Originally, Qin Er had been discreetly selling the talismans in small quantities. But one of his classmates bought a talisman, scored a Perfect Score Talisman, and when Qin Er happily told him to continue using it for future exams, he let it slip. As a result, the parents found out and came to the school to seek justice, causing headaches for the teachers.

“I am not a fraud!” Qin Er said unhappily. He liked money, but he earned it himself and never thought of cheating. “They used the talismans and scored Perfect Score Talismans. I’m not a liar!”

“Qin Er!” Guan Jinghua’s face turned stern as she scolded him, “Shut up! You cheated, and you dare to argue?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Er immediately became crestfallen.

Zhouzhou looked at them in confusion. Her little brain finally started to comprehend that the dispute was related to the Perfect Score Talismans she had drawn. She shrank her neck and asked softly, “Second Elder Aunt, did we do something wrong?”

Seeing the little girl getting scared, Guan Jinghua softened her expression, but still spoke honestly, “Well, Zhouzhou, achieving a Perfect Score Talisman should rely on one’s own efforts, not external help. Like this time, although they seemed to have scored Perfect Score Talismans, that knowledge didn’t really enter their own minds. They won’t truly understand it and won’t be able to use it when they need to. Achieving a Perfect Score Talisman through such means is meaningless and considered cheating. It’s not good for them. On the contrary, it will cultivate a bad habit of getting something without putting in effort.”

“Just like how you can draw talismans, some are for helping people, while others are harmful. You can’t use the ones that harm people, right?”

Hearing her words, Zhouzhou thought for a moment and nodded. She was still puzzled and asked, “But Second Elder Brother said everyone would be happy if they scored perfect.”

They would be happy because it was a good thing, right?

Guan Jinghua patiently explained, “What parents want is for their children to achieve a Perfect Score Talisman through their own efforts. That’s when they will truly be happy.”

Oh, I see.

Zhouzhou pondered over her words and nodded slowly. When she remembered the teacher saying that parents were demanding a refund, she felt even worse.

“But my money was taken by Ancestral Master.”

She couldn’t produce so much money.

Not only had she gone bankrupt, but she was also in debt!

She felt even more miserable!

Pouting her lips, she endured it for a while, but couldn’t hold back anymore. She burst into tears, jumped off Qin Lie’s lap, and walked up to the teacher. She took out her wallet from her bag, wiped her tears, and said, “Second Elder Aunt, I’m sorry. I didn’t know I couldn’t do this. Can you give me some time to earn money and pay it back? I will work hard and repay the money.”

As she spoke, she took out her copper bowl from her bag and said earnestly, “I will go to work and pay off the debt!”
