After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: It’s Quite Simple
With just a sentence, everyone burst into laughter. Qin Lie couldn’t help but chuckle and looked at her. He transferred the money to the teacher and said, “Please help give this money to those parents.”

“Sure.” The teacher stood up with a smile. Before coming, she was worried that it might be difficult to communicate with the Qin family because they were wealthy. But now, they all seemed reasonable, and the little girl was so adorable.

It was also quite amazing that she could draw talismans that could help people achieve Perfect Score Talismans. She was truly talented.

“Well, I’ll take my leave.”

“Okay.”

They escorted her to the door, and then they turned back. They saw the two little ones sitting on the ground, one hugging a copper bowl and the other holding a broken bowl, both crying with their heads in their hands.

Zhouzhou sobbed, “Second Elder Brother, didn’t you say you could make me rich and lie on a bed of gold?”

Why didn’t they earn any money and have to pay instead?

As she spoke, she let out a little burp and pouted, “Second Elder Brother, you’re unreliable.”

Qin Er also had a frustrated look on his face as he stared ahead with a blank expression. “It seems like we can’t sell the Perfect Score Talismans anymore.”

“What? Are you still thinking about making money?” Qin Lie walked in and asked.

Qin Er didn’t speak, but his expression already admitted it.

In order to repay the debt, besides demanding a refund, the parents also requested compensation. His parents told him to take out his New Year’s money to fill this hole caused by his mistake.

For Qin Er, who cherished his little treasury, this was undoubtedly the biggest blow. He let go of Zhouzhou, hung his head, and walked out dejectedly. “Then I’ll go to work.”

Guan Jinghua coolly glanced at him. “Go ahead. Don’t forget you still have to go to school tomorrow. If you don’t go, you won’t get a refund for the tuition.”

With his stingy nature, Guan Jinghua wasn’t worried at all that he would consider dropping out of school.

Sure enough, Qin Er nodded and muttered, “I know.”

“I’ll go too.” Zhouzhou sniffled and quickly got up from the ground. As she took a few steps forward, not yet reaching the door, Qin Lie grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up.

“Where are you going?”

“To earn money.” Seeing that Qin Er was already near the door, Zhouzhou panicked and said, “Dad, put me down.”

Qin Lie didn’t let go and picked up the box from the ground. “Put this in your room first.”

“Huh, what is this?” Grandma Qin noticed the box.

“The bracelet Dad bought for fifty million.” Zhouzhou said.

As she said that, she felt even more distressed. She had originally thought of earning back the fifty million through Qin Er’s sale of talismans, but now they were losing even more money.

Her heart ached.

Grandma Qin was amused by her expression. “What kind of bracelet is so expensive? Let Grandma take a look.”

Zhouzhou handed it to her, and Grandma Qin opened it but exclaimed, “This is worth fifty million? Could it be a mistake?”

It was just an ordinary bracelet, and the quality was decent, but it could be bought for a maximum of one hundred thousand. She looked at Qin Lie in confusion. “Did I misjudge it?”

It shouldn’t be. After all, her youngest son had been in the business field for so many years, and he never made such a loss. Why would he spend fifty million on this bracelet?

“I bought it because I liked it.” Qin Lie casually said, taking the box back and handing it to Zhouzhou. “Help Dad put this away in your room.”

Zhouzhou didn’t understand. “Didn’t Dad like it? Why don’t you keep it yourself?”

“I’m afraid I might lose it. It’s better if you keep it hidden in your room so it won’t get scratched. Put it away nicely.”

Okay.

Zhouzhou was immersed in her sorrow of going from a rich girl to a poor girl, so she didn’t think much about it. She ran upstairs and posted several concealments and Protective Talismans before finally feeling relieved.

She suddenly remembered Ye Lingfeng. He said he wanted to buy it for one billion. If Dad didn’t like the bracelet someday, she could sell it to him and get the money back.

Letting out a deep sigh, Zhouzhou lay on the bed with her chubby little legs kicking. While crying, she grabbed the bedsheet and muttered, “I don’t care, I want money. I wouldn’t have to owe money if it wasn’t for Ancestral Master taking it away…”

Upon hearing her words, Ancestral Master floated out slowly, sitting on a chair with an immortal and dignified appearance. He glanced at her with disdain and said provocatively, “No, once the money goes into the pocket, how could it possibly come back?”

But her money went into her pocket too! And it was taken away by someone else!

She rolled on the bed, kicking her chubby legs, and cried while gripping the bedsheet. She muttered brokenly, “I don’t care, I want money, I wouldn’t have to owe money if it wasn’t for Ancestral Master taking it away…”

Seeing her crying for real, Ancestral Master couldn’t sit still. He had watched Zhouzhou grow up, and she usually faked crying. It was the first time she shed genuine tears, and it seemed like she was truly upset. He hurriedly said, “Stop crying, stop crying. Those coins have turned into golden light. Even if I wanted to give them back, I couldn’t.”

Zhouzhou didn’t pay attention and cried even louder, “…”

Ancestral Master was getting a headache. “Stop crying, stop crying. In that case, I have a few Five Emperors’ coins. Would that be okay?”

Zhouzhou refused and touched the copper coins on her neck, saying, “I already have my own.”

“You don’t understand this. When it comes to copper coins, the Five Emperors’ coins are the most accurate,” said Ancestral Master.

Zhouzhou shook her head. “Master said that accuracy doesn’t depend on the tools, but on the person.”

That was her high talent. It might not be the same for others.

Ancestral Master pondered and said, “I still have a complete collection of talismans here. How about giving it to you?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s ears twitched, and her eyes followed suit. She peeked through a gap in her chubby hands covering her face and asked, “Is it complete?”

Her master also had a book, but it was incomplete.

“Of course,” Ancestral Master said proudly. “Mine is naturally the most complete and efficient. Do you want it or not?”

“I want it!” Zhouzhou sat up in one go, no longer crying. She wiped her eyes, which were still a little swollen from crying, and spread her chubby hands. “Thank you, Ancestral Master.”

Seeing her like this, Ancestral Master snorted softly. Indeed, a child’s face and the weather in June could change so quickly.

But this was what he had planned to give her. After all, Zhouzhou’s talent might not even match his when he was alive. Li Yuanming’s own abilities were limited, and he didn’t teach much. What a waste.

He waved his hand, and a booklet appeared in Zhouzhou’s hands.

She happily accepted it and couldn’t wait to flip through it. However, her eyebrows furrowed. “Why are the pages at the back all blank?”

Only the first page of the book had content, and the rest were empty.

Could it be that Ancestral Master gave her a pirated book?

“When you learn it, the second page will appear automatically. It depends on your talent. It took my senior brothers a month or two to learn the second talisman, but I learned it in three days,” Ancestral Master said, sounding proud.

Saying that, Ancestral Master felt somewhat content and slowly drifted back into the wooden carving.

There was a hidden world inside the wooden carving. He had moved his bed in there, and now he lay back with his legs crossed, holding a dog-tail grass stem in his mouth.

The rules of Sanqing Temple were to guard the family, and those who were strong could go out for training.

He was the first one to leave the temple for training. It took him about ten years to complete the entire collection of talismans.

There was a total of 999 different talismans in there, enough for her to learn until she grew up.

This way, she wouldn’t be coveting his other treasures.

It wasn’t easy for an old man like him to accumulate things. All he knew was to rely on his family every day. Hmph.

Zhouzhou didn’t know what he was thinking. She looked at the first talisman and gestured in the air.

However, unlike before, this time it felt a bit stiff.

Inside the wooden carving, Ancestral Master watched her actions and chuckled with a hint of pride. These weren’t the basic talismans that Li Yuanming taught her. What he taught her were advanced versions, several times more difficult.

She wanted to learn it. She was eager.

Zhouzhou also realized this. She didn’t feel discouraged and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was clear. She ran to the table, took out a piece of talisman paper and cinnabar, and started drawing slowly.

Ancestral Master yawned. If she couldn’t draw it, he would know how powerful his talismans were.

His abilities weren’t something ordinary people could learn.

He was about to doze off when he suddenly heard Zhouzhou’s cheerful voice say, “I’m done!”
